Choose High School Classmates By SonozakiSisters / Translated to Spanish by dokimtz
High school in The Sims 4 can feel like a lottery. You never know which random townies will walk through the school doors, sit next to your teen, or show up at prom. If you have ever wished for a more curated social circle for your teen Sim, the mod Choose High School Classmates By SonozakiSisters / Translated to Spanish by dokimtz is exactly what you need. This tool puts you in the director's chair, letting you decide precisely which NPCs populate the hallways, classrooms, and after-school events.
What Does This Mod Do?
The core function is simple: you select the classmates. Instead of relying on special traits or random generation, the mod works on a blacklist system. All NPCs are blacklisted from being classmates by default. Only the Sims you actively choose are removed from that blacklist and allowed to attend high school with your active teen. This gives you total control over your teen's social environment.
This control extends beyond regular classes. The mod applies to career days, graduation ceremonies, and prom, including the pre- and post-parties associated with those events. You will see your chosen Sims in all the right places, making the high school experience feel cohesive and intentional.
How to Use the Selection System
Using the mod is straightforward. With an active teen Sim, click on the mailbox in your household. A new interaction menu will appear, allowing you to open the classmate selection interface. From there, you can browse all available Sims in your save and add them to your roster.
Once you have made your selections, you can further refine your choices in the "High School Management" category. This menu allows you to assign specific Sims to special roles, such as cheerleaders, chess club members, football players, or computer team members. You can also assign them as regular classmates. If you change your mind, you can easily remove a Sim from any category, and they will no longer appear in that role.
Understanding Student Limits and Class Distribution
The mod has a default structure that is important to understand. By default, your active Sim is placed in Class 1. Ten NPCs are then divided equally between two classes. This creates a balanced classroom environment without overcrowding.
If you use another mod to increase the maximum number of students allowed in school, this mod will respect that new limit. Your custom list will simply expand to fill the available slots. If you assign more than ten Sims to your list, the game will randomly pick from your selections to fill the classes each day. This is a great way to keep the rotation fresh while still maintaining a curated pool of characters.
Keep in mind that Sims assigned to special roles, such as cheerleaders or team members, count toward the total student limit. If you have a full roster of regular students, you may need to remove some to make room for your special role picks.
Handling Active Sims and Household Swaps
One important detail is that your active teen is not automatically included as a classmate. This is intentional, as they are the protagonist of the story. However, if you switch households and want your previous Sim to remain in the school world, you must manually assign them. You can do this by switching to another playable household and adding your former teen to the classmate list. This ensures continuity across your save file.
Potential Issues and Known Limitations
While the mod works hard to keep only your chosen classmates in school, The Sims 4 base game can sometimes interfere. The game may occasionally add random Sims to the school population. The mod does its best to remove them, but a 100% fix is not guaranteed. If you notice random townies slipping through, you can report the issue to the creator, but be prepared for the possibility that it is a limitation of the game engine itself.

Requirements and Compatibility
