This is the first time that a high school in the franchise hasn’t been a rabbit hole or an off-screen occurrence. As with other lots in theSims 4, they can be edited; even the lots used in activecareerswith the free build cheat “bb. enablefreebuild”. It is assumed that the free build cheat will also work with Copperdale High, allowing players to make changes or even completely customize the high school.

1School Furniture & Decor
