To graduate early in The Sims 4: High School Years expansion, a teen Sim must maintain an overall grade of A or above in school. They start as a C student and must attend classes regularly, complete daily homework, and fulfill event goals to raise their grade. Once the Sim achieves an A average, a pop-up will offer the option to graduate early. If accepted, the Sim graduates immediately, skipping the official graduation ceremony. The diploma will arrive by mail a few days later. Early graduates remain teenagers but no longer need to attend classes and can start careers or university early if the Discover University expansion is installed. Additionally, some players note that early graduation may also require having two skills at level 4 or higher, which tends to coincide with achieving an A grade. Cheats can also be used to force early graduation if needed. Summary:
- Maintain an A grade in school by attending classes and completing goals.
- Possibly have two skills at level 4 or higher.
- Accept the early graduation prompt when it appears.
- Skip the graduation ceremony and receive diploma by mail.
- Early graduates can start careers or university immediately but remain teens.
This method allows Sims to graduate early and progress faster in their life stages and careers in The Sims 4.
