We should be able to go to school with our kids and teens....
Right now, school is just some place we send our kids off to for a couple hours. No fun gameplay there.
Here are my ideas
-sims can pass or flunk classes and if their grades are failing they have to go to summer school .
- your overall gpa from elementary to HS determines what college you get into.
- There is a community college and an ivy league college.
- Pupils with good grades are rewarded
- There should be educational skills that determine how good your sim does their homework assignments.
(coninued) The higher their educational skill, the higher their grades will be. Lower educational skill = lower grades.
- pop quizzes
- graduation ceremonies
Oh and if i wasnt clear the first time around, i would like to "literally" go to class with my simmies. Not just have them go away for 7-8 hours

You build educational skill by studying.
Colleges here are either private schools, or senior schools.
And summer school is a odd concept... unless you mean for uni students?
The only 'summer school' that my school had, was swimming lessons in the summer holidays.
And what the heck are "pop quizzes"? Is that really how school works in the US? How odd!
Downunder, the system is usually a lot more focused, your senior school (years 11 and 12) subject choices impact what you can study at uni, and then how well you do in said subjects impacts whether or not you get into uni. And a uni is a uni is a uni, for the most part. I don't even get what your ivy league is meant to be about. Very few aussies even bother with interstate unis, cos the ones in your home state are just as good as the ones in other states. People usually only go interstate if the course isn't available in your home state.
But other than that, yes, a pack a bit like get to work, with a primary school, a secondary school, and a uni (or whatever tertiary education facility), would be nice.
AND!!!! The education career!
Im from the USA. Here, if you fail the year, you have the option of summer school to pass and make up.
Im not familiar with your school system there so i cant comment on any of that.
Pop quiz= tests that teachers surprise students with that may help boost their grade
Ivy league schools here are upper class college institutions for the super smart and sometimes rich. Not just anybody can go to an upper echelon college.
College here in America is higher learning. Thats what wecall the education received past high school.
Personality,depth,humor,consequences,lore,customization.
I like the idea of a recess. Afterschool activities.
This is literally what I have been wanting since I started playing Sims.
This thread is for anybody who WOULD like to go to school with their sims and their ideas for this potential add on to the game.
Not to be rude, but other simmers that did comment before you also said they would also like to see this feature. And its not all about what you would like to see all the time.. I dont play supernatural but i also dont discourage anyone else from wanting to play that way.
Me too
you do realize you have to expect feedback from people who don't want it as well? Just because some people want it doesn't mean EVERYONE wants it. Have you tried Zerbu's school Mod? See how boring it is after awhile
And also students can work on skill to give them scholarship to get into college.
I assume that the request is for a pack, not for a base-game overhaul. I also think that an in-house designed pack would be less boring. It wouldn't have to use only the existing career system; it could develop new systems. It wouldn't have to use existing animations and objects; it could have lots of new animations and objects. So... what would make active school more fun for you than the mod is?
FWIW, this is a pack I've wanted a long time. I haven't bothered with the mod because I'm not interested in just seeing more of what we already have.
I didnt say everyone had to have it. It could be optional. I prefer not to play with vampires and stuff so i wouldnt buy supernatural. But i wouldnt protest a supernatural game purely because its something i dont want.
Not understanding why you dont want others to have features that they like.
Cool idea. I would like a play area at the school too, for kids to go during recess or even skip class
Yup that would be great

Maybe this EP/GP could include what's called here in Canada, PA days don't know what they're called in U.S. students get a day off (usually Fridays) from school (either elementary or high school but sometimes both get the day off) but professional (ie "full-time" teachers don't get the day off but have to go to work for a meeting/preparing for the next week). Would the kids stay mostly in one classroom (with the exception of gym and music ) in elementary school? or would they go to different classrooms?
But if it's optional like the careers, I'd be cool with it. I like the active careers, although tbh I found the ones in TS3 to be more entertaining than the ones that came with GTW. If they do allow us to follow our sims to school someday, I hope it'll feel less repetitive than GTW.
If you fail, you redo the year, in the following year.
Universities have summer school, for some subjects, but it's not really for a do over, its just extra classes people do for fun, or to fill some gaps in their course, or because they want to improve their education for the workplace.
And I'm not familiar with yours, which is why I don't really understand a lot of what you're talking about.
So I'll try to explain again, how it works here.
If you want to study in a field of science at uni, you need to be studying a similar field in senior school (years 11 and 12, aka the final two years of highschool), and usually a lot of maths too, and all at the higher level (typically there are two branches of maths, one is science related, the other is business related).
In my state:
You also need to complete your highschool certificate (this is a certain criteria of subjects, which you must complete to graduate from year 12)
You also need a a competitive Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank, which I guess is similar to your GPA
And you need an achievement score of C- or better for prerequisite subjects (as in the mentioned subjects in the right field for what you plan to apply to study at uni)
But each of the states here have slightly different reqirements, which is probably another reason why a lot of people don't bother with trying to go to uni outside of their own state (NT excluded).
Basically, you decide if you want to go to uni, and what you want to study, before you even enter year 11, and you plan your subject selection around that. There is no point in doing art, drama, photography and wood work in your senior school years if you want to become a doctor.
Never had anything like it in my life.
We always got forewarned of tests, so that we could study for them.
If you want to boost your grade here, you complete your assignments, and get them in on time, and study for, turn up for, and complete your end of year exams.
I don't get it.
Many of our universities are of similar rank to your ivy league, yet anyone has a chance to attend them. If you get high enough grades for the right subjects that relate to the course you plan to study at uni, you should be able to get in. How much money you have should have nothing to do with it.
The uni you go to doesn't make any real difference to the cost, it's the course you choose that is likely to alter how much it costs you.
University and TAFE are for higher learning in Australia, or tertiary learning, as we also call it, since you don't enter it until you have completed secondary education.
I think even the UK has a similar meaning for college to what Australia has, as in the senior school, aka the final two years of high school.
But they also have yet another meaning, which is a specific branch of a University.
I think the whole point is to have it optional, like GTW. You're not forced to follow your sim to work every day, so you wouldn't be forced to follow them to school every day either.
It would be nice to be able to follow your teen to their school dance.
