How does prom work in The Sims 4?

In The Sims 4, prom happens every in-game Saturday at 7 PM. However, your teenage Sims may also have the opportunity to attend pre-prom celebrations. During prom, your teenage sims will also have different goals that they can complete throughout the event.
However, there are a few different restrictions and prerequisites that players will need to keep in mind for their Sims 4 Prom Night. These details have all been explained below:
In The Sims 4, prom will only be available for high schoolers, meaning you will need to have at least one teenager in your household. Under these circumstances, you will be able to find the prom night event on your in-game calendar. In addition to this, you can also receive more information regarding the time and specific event details during in-game events.
In order to build friendships and relationships between your teenage Sim and their classmates, you can play out their day in class and interact with others. Then, when it comes to acquiring a date for prom, there are a few different options to consider.
How to get a prom date in The Sims 4

- Leave a note in another Sim’s locker to ask them to prom – there are options to go as a romantic pair, or as friends!
- Use the ‘Ask to Prom’ option when interacting with another Sim
- Use a Prom-posal sign
- Accept an invitation from another Sim
- Go solo
Once you arrive at prom, there will be a few different activities that you can participate in with your Sim and their friends or date. They can cast prom votes, have fun at a photo booth, and grab a drink of punch before hitting the dance floor. Prom tends to wrap up once Prom Royalty has been announced.
