To enjoy all the gameplay, making friends in high school is a big part of the new expansion pack. Whether Sims are adding others on Social Bunny, the popular social network in the game, or joining school clubs and sports teams, there are many ways to meet other teens. After forming friendships, the game introduces new interactions and rabbit holes. One of these rabbit holes is the ability to sneak out. However, having friends isn’t the only thing needed to sneak out.

How to Sneak Out in The Sims 4
Players must do a few things before their Sims can sneak out. First, at least one EZ Window must be placed on the lot. It has to be usable from both sides of the window, meaning that Sims can use it to enter and exit a room.
Players can build a trellis that Sims can use to climb up and down if the house sits on a foundation or the window is on the second story.
Sneaking out is triggered randomly in gameplay. When teens have a good enough relationship with another teen, they will occasionally get a phone call from them inviting them out to something like a late-night concert or party.
If players accept the invitation, a pop-up will appear, giving details on the different options teens have to go to the event. Of course, teens can ask for permission to go, but if all else fails and their parents say no, sneaking out is the way to go.
Players can click anywhere on the ground or on the EZ window for the option to sneak out. Locking their bedroom doors is an excellent way to ensure teens sneak out successfully. Also, make sure parents are either preoccupied or sleeping because if teens are caught, they will get in trouble, which grants a negative moodlet. After choosing to sneak out, teens climb out the EZ window, stealthily walk around the house, and leave the lot.
Players aren’t able to join their Sims on the adventure. Still, if they can go the entire night without their absence being discovered, they will gain a Confident moodlet and, if paired with The Sims 4: Parenthood Game Pack, will lose Responsibility points.
The Sims 4: High School Years is available on PC, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, and Xbox One.
