The Metal Bed, Pine Bed, Canteen Servery, and all patches are designed to work with the school bell, but aren't compatible with expansions released after Open for Business. Extract the files. All of the files are stored in. Double-click on the files to open them; you'll find.
If you're on Windows, use a program like 7zip, select all the. Select all the. Place the package files in your game's Downloads folder. You may want to make a subfolder in your Downloads folder for the mods, so that they don't get separated. This icon is used on wikiHow as fair use because it is being used to provide how-to instructions. Open your game. Once you have all the necessary content, you can start your game. If you haven't previously used custom content, click the box that says "Enable custom content", press OK , and then restart your game.
Create a new residential lot. Your school will be built on this lot. There's no specific size you should use, but it should be big enough to accommodate the needs of the students as well as the teachers.
It's possible to run schools on an owned community lot if you have Open for Business, but you may need to use a visitor controller to keep random adults and elders off the lot. Construct your school. Every school is different, but you'll need classrooms and certain objects for the school to run properly. Build as many classrooms as you choose. Put some "Classroom Table and Workbook" or "School Class Place" objects in the room for desks, objects for fun or building skills if desired , and place a classroom controller in each classroom.
Put down a classroom door and point the arrow into the room. Place a School Bell and Crowd Controller anywhere on the lot. Place the Uniform Setter on the lot, if you want your students to wear uniforms.
Put the Institution Sign on the lot. If you want your school to be a boarding school, make at least one room with multiple beds to serve as a dorm. Ensure you have enough bathrooms, as well as a way to feed the students. Try a buffet table to feed multiple students at once. Decorate as you see fit. Place the pupil tokens on the lot. The pupil tokens allow you to register any child to your school, even if they don't live on the lot.
If you're building a typical school, place the pupil tokens somewhere in the school. Don't put them in a classroom or bedroom.
If you're building a boarding school, put one pupil token in the dorm for every student you want to sleep in that dorm.
Assign students and teachers. Once your school is built, you can assign some children or teens to the school as students, and older Sims to be the teachers.
While students don't need to be on the lot to be enrolled, adult or elder Sims must be on the lot to be assigned as teachers. To assign students, click on an empty pupil token. Choose Enroll Then, assign them to a class with Assign to class You can expel students by clicking their pupil token and clicking Expel [Name].
To assign a teacher to the classroom, click a room's Classroom Controller, click Set teacher to Teachers can only enter classrooms that they're assigned to.
Set a principal to run the school by clicking the School Bell and clicking Set Principal to Principals can enter any classroom. Tip: The class numbers are meant to be years, rather than classes. Set the school rules and times, classroom times and subjects. Your Sims won't be able to complete much schoolwork if you don't have class times or subjects set, so you'll need to set that with the Classroom Controller. I play this lot as an owned community lot business.
I don't like schools as residential lots because who lives at a high school? Then I just let the teens kind of do their own thing and set up shots here and there in the classrooms so it actually looks like they're learning. I also have some school hacks from SimLogical but I don't use them all like I should. I was the Anonymous before. This helps a lot. One question though: do you send the kids and teens just to this school and prevent them from being taken to the maxis school everyday?
And if yes, which hack are you using? The building is awesome btw. I'll only play the high school once every other round and post an update about what happened, but I might also send a teen there during their play session if I need to set up a picture there.
So I don't know what hack to suggest to stop them from going to school but SimLogical has very trustworthy hacks and I believe she has one there. You're welcome for the explanation and thanks for the compliment! If you need more info, just let me know! I do really like this! I think I need to make my school lot bigger so I can do that with my gym!
It all turned out really great, time well spent! Thanks Maisie! I had fun playing the school last week and can't wait to get back in to take a few more pics. Luckily I didn't have to tweek anything and the students are having a blast.
I just need to keep them out of the darn green room! They love it in there, of all places! Can I modify this principal's office image for a cartoon I am drawing to teach phonics? Both school types share the same building. Unlike previous games in The Sims series, children are not taken away from their families for getting an F. The school bus will automatically appear to drive students to school, although Sims can opt to get there via other means, such as by biking or driving. Players can choose from a number of sub-interactions while the Sims are at school.
Sims can be instructed to slack off, work harder, or meet and socialize with friends. Once school ends, the school bus will appear to drive them home, although this interaction can be cancelled if players wish to send them somewhere else. Sims can now receive detentions at school. If they are caught sleeping in class, copying homework tasks the player can assign kids while they're at school or busted when pranking the school outside school hours , they will be kept behind after school for a few hours, which can interfere with part-time jobs.
Sims are less likely to receive a detention if their grades are higher than a "B". While staying back late, the student can choose their tone but they will not see any improvement in grades or performance; however, if a Sim's mood is low, their grade might decrease. When detention is over, the school bus will not appear to bring them home, and the Sims will need to get home on their own.
Children and teens may bring home friends of their age after school. They can also be invited over to another student's house to play. Students who go to each other's houses will live within a reasonable distance from each other.
The closer the other student, the more likely the invitation is. Children also bring home homework every school day; failure to complete homework will result in them being penalized, and they may receive a detention. If a child or teen does not have a high performance at school, the player will not be able to choose their new trait when they grow up.
For the Sim to have good grades, they need to be at school on time every day, and must complete any assigned homework. Both children and teens will occasionally be given the opportunity to go on a field trip. The player will be asked if they consent to the student going on the field trip. If the player consents, the student will attend school as normal, but will be taken out of class during the day and driven to a rabbit hole somewhere in the world , along with a few other students of their age and their teacher.
Dialogue notifications will occasionally appear while the class trip is inside, although the player has no control over the outcome of the field trip. After the field trip concludes, the Sim may receive a souvenir in their inventory. If the Sim had any afterschool activities, they will be excused from them, but will not be excused from part-time jobs.
If the school has been deleted then children and teens will stop going to school. This is the only way to not go to school, and is only possible in Windows and macOS as consoles do not have the ability.
Also, if the player is controlling one ghost teen or child, they might not be signed up for a school. However, if the school is deleted then children and teens appear to be forced age up badly because they haven't been to school, but if an adult with a high enough logic skill tutors them, their grade can go up, and allow them to age up well without having to go to school. If Generations is installed, children and teens can be enrolled into boarding school or an afterschool activity.
Teens can also attempt to prank the school after hours. If a meteor hits a school, then all sims attending will die. Schools make a come-back in The Sims 4 , but not as rabbitholes like in The Sims 3. They're like jobs, as Sims will walk towards their lot's spawn point and disappear until school for that day is over.
In order for a child or teen sims to improve their grades, they'll have to go to school with a positive emotion Focused is suggested as it says so in the school panel , completing their homework , doing extra credit work, working hard at class, and get extra performance boost from chance cards that randomly pop up while the Sim is still at school.
This is the way the mod is designed. Adult sims created in CAS are assumed to be average high school graduates so will be limited to level 5.
If you use the batbox to give these sims college degrees, then they will get the level 10 limit just like other graduates. If I create a Sim that I think should have a career above level five, I give them a college degree using the batbox.
Changing their high school grades will not change their ceiling a grade of A, B, or C results in the same level five limit. The only thing that will change it is giving them a college degree. This mod allows Sims to work in ANY career up to level 5 without a degree. You may have another mod conflicting with this one if your Sims cannot take certain jobs from the noticeboard.
But I think you are right, it might not have something to do with this mod but another mod that, when operated in conjunction with this mod, causes this issue. For the day setter mod how do you use it? I am not sure how it would keep the ages in sync. It just allows you to change days.
I use it when I move a Sim to a new house or move a family out. Because when you move a Sim to a new lot it is always Monday at AM. But if you moved them out and it was actually Wednesday, you can use the day setter to change the day to Wednesday. I hate ghosts! I would never recommend deleting urns or graves in the Sims 2 even with the mod.
Hi Cindy, I am facing a problem and hope you can help. I have your recommended mod for part time and full time job for teens and limit promotion for uneducated sims. Now the problem I am facing is that if a teen take a part time job then after getting promotion, the teen reach to level 2 of full time career rather tha part time. Please help me if you can give any suggestions in it.
Nopke has a lifespan mod which mirrors the changes you create via SimPE. Hi Cindy, Just wanted to ask a quick question about the sim blender, in your current play through of pleasantview the teleport menu seems to be organized very clearly between the households.
However, in my game, all the sims are in randomly named households, for example, ricky cormier is under the cormier household but so are alot of other townies.
Is there any way that I can get it as organized as you have it? Hi Alex. She placed all townies in the same household. You might ask on the MTS forums if anyone knows.
I just asked you about the batbox vase a little while ago because of the link not working. It looks like its a simfileshare. You can just ignore that comment. THank you again! Hi, Cindy! Thank you for this detailed list.
It brings to the correct page, but when you click the download link from that page it gives an error. Do you know if it is located anywhere else? Was wondering about the size of your download folder? Wondering about yours?
Hi Taylor! I have around 8Gb of CC right now. I used to have about 12Gb before I did a clean out a few months ago. Thank you so much! I know many have said it before, but really you deserve it! Since simwardrobe is no longer. Hi Charlotte! Link is for Sim File Share. I think the old site is defunct. Could you please replace links for the SimBlender and anything else from Simbology so that others can access it?
Thanks, Luke. Is Smarter Beds better than sleepinyourownbed? I use SmartBeds and occasionally have to reset bed ownership on custom beds if my Sim refuses to sleep. If possible, could you let me know where you got it? I have never bred pets in my game, either, but watching you wrangle those cats into the doghouse to try for kittens has inspired me to try! Hello, Cindy! There is an archive. I felt like this was specifically important to mention since this is a pretty big mod in your gameplay.
I did find a link to this mod in the archive on Sims File Share of all the big simbology mods! Yes, I plan to update my links very soon. Thank you for the tip in the meantime! They are the only ones I watch. This page is a godsend to me as well. So many wonderful resources.
I have one suggestion:. I also have a question about your link to Community Time. Is this the same as the Chris Hatch mod? Have you had weird glitches with this one? I just remove it when I go on vacation. Thank you!! I use the updated Chris Hatch version of Community Time. I like it better because it works with University. The only issue I have is that it screws up pregnancy length if you send a pregnant Sim to a community lot.
They do but it takes time. Don Lothario had sex with a lot of women but he only loves couple of them in my games. And it makes sence. Poor Malcolm is constantly rejected sex by his own wife, Nina. I find so realistic. Sexual orientation actually matters with this mod. It basically allows pregnant sim to asdign father to the baby while not changing its genetics.
I used it for Landgraabs Poor Malcolm thinks the baby is his, he has the memory and the baby is in his family tree. Thank you for all the amazing mod suggestions. My game is amazing now! I wanted to let you know that some of the links no longer worked due to Simbology shutting down. Thank you for all you do! Do you can make a tutorial to how take the lag of the sims 2 UC for those who have a copy by origin? Hi Ana. Have you used graphics rules maker and applied the 4gb patch?
Thank you so much for inspiring a refreshing new outlook on the game! However, upon trying to download it, I get error code internal server error. Is there something wrong on my side or is it in the link? Hi Alice! It should be back up now. Yup, I got it downloaded! Am I supposed to do anything with it before putting it in my downloads folder?
Lots are installed differently than CC and mods. Instead, extract the package file to your desktop and double click it. Wait a minute or two and an installer will appear asking you if you want to install the lot. Now you should find the lot in your lots and houses bin. I love your gameplay rules and I decided to download some of your recommended mods to spice up things in my game.
Could you please give me some advice how to deal with this? HI Barbi! You obviously have a mod conflict somewhere. Thank you so much for your list of mods!
Its super helpful! I just wanted to point out that the link for SimPE is no longer working, I just wanted to let you know! I want to download but I will wait for your response since when i googled it, it was kinda confusing lol. Hi Nicole! The original site for SimPE is no longer functional, unfortunately. I will update the post too. I just have a question, what mod did you use for the babies to be clothed when they are born?
Hi Miah! Thank you so much for this list! I started watching your Sims 2 videos on YouTube several months ago and you inspired me to download my favorite Sims game again. I never really played the game like that when it first came out. Keep up the amazing work! Thank you so much, Tyler! Hi Cindy!! Can you help me? Did you edited the values on simPE or you just left how it was when you downloaded?
If so, can you tell me the values? Sorry in advance for my broken english. Its not my first language hahah. Hi Claire! No, you do not need to edit anything. Just place the files in your downloads folder as they are. These files have already been edited to make the genetics equal. Hi Cindy, I need a help. I have installed some of your recommended mods including Edukashun Iz Gud, more realistist paymemt, taxi charges, car chages, community lot time etc.
Actually, I am having two problems, first thing, last 3 are not working, commuting lot not passed and taxi is still free. No notification also come that the sim has brought this much money. What could be the issue for this. I had a similar issue and had to remove the taxis and cars cost money mods.
They seems to conflict with community lot time. Thanks for reminding me! I need to update the post with a warning that these may conflict. This may fix the problem too. They both are conflicting with each other. Either I can keep commutity timing mod, or taxi and car cost money. Both are not waorking together. Hi, thank you so much for your mod list! Tried installing a the moreawesomethanyou mod to stop townies and the object rotate mod but they just crash the game.
Is there another way to do it that wont crash my game? Hi Becky. Those mods alone will not crash your game. They are well-known, stable mods. You can use the Hack Conflict Detection Utility to check for mod conflicts. Google it. If you have Ultimate Collection, it takes some fiddling. Been watching your videos for a while now and I really enjoy your content! Do you know if theres anywhere else I can get the lot?
Hi there! I will update the post! Hi Julia! Not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean exporting them or editing them? Incidentally, what do the Sim: Score files do? Under the Unofficial AL patch, what do the sshack. SShack — makes the social worker behave more reasonably. You should close this site immediately. Yes, absolutely!
Are there any mods you recommend installing before running it? I ran it for the first time today and got a long list of errors it found on the pre-made neighborhoods, despite me having barely played the game and the only other mod I currently have being one that changes the appearance of the milk bottle. And you still may run into errors. If you have Night Life installed, there will always be errors with the Tricou family.
Thanks for linking me to that. Hi Cindy, I recently downloaded a bunch of mods from your list. The only problem is my sims now reset when I hover over them or even other sims. I can interact with other people living on the lot, but neighbours just trigger the reset. Was wondering if you knew what to do, Thanks!
It sounds like a mod conflict — probably one that modifies the pie menu in some way.
