How to Alter High School Grades
For Sims 4 players, the method to modify a Sim’s high school grade varies based on the installed DLC:
- Without High School Years expansion:
- Use careers.promote highschool to increase a Sim’s grade.
- With High School Years expansion:
- Use careers.promote career_Teen_Highschool to increase a Sim’s grade.
To decrease a Sim’s grade, simply replace ‘promote’ with ‘demote’ in the cheat code.
Remember, these cheats work based on the expansion pack installed, so choose the right one for your game.
