Today I'm going to share a functional non rabbit-hole Sims 3 school which I built a month ago.Now you can actually see your Sims attending classes and participating in various activities in the school.Also,if your Sims are in the education career they can take classes at the school as a part of their job activities.This school lot functions as the elementary school for children,the high school for teens and the workplace for the Sims in education career.And it's all possible because of Zerbu's ultimate career mod,many thanks to him for creating such a great mod.Here is also some tips about getting the mod work on nrass wikispaces.I'm explaining how the school functions and how your Sims will gain school performance in this school with pictures below.[The download link to my school is at the end of this post.]
Entrance of the School
I used two 2X2 door at the entrance so that on the school starting hour townie Sims don't get stuck at the front door while rushing to attend the school.
The lockers in the entrance room actually work as dressers.Though the locker has nothing to do with the school performance but I found them pretty cool and cute.
Elementary Classroom
One of the elementary school classrooms of my school building.Teacher can gain job
performance by using the whiteboard and the podium.Children will gain
school performance by using the whiteboard and reading any skill book
from the bookshelf or their inventory.
I used the sims 3 store barrier entry door to
this room so that teen can't enter the elementary classroom.
High school classroom,art classroom and cooking classroom
In high school classroom teen students will gain school performance by
using whiteboard and reading any skill book and recipe book from their
inventory or the bookshelves in the classroom.They'll also gain skill
point associated with the books and learn recipes as well as increasing
school performance bar while reading those books and also while using
the whiteboard.There are two classroom for high school teens.
They'll gain painting skill with school performance increase when they'll use the Easels in the art classroom.

For cooking classes,if they make any dishes they'll gain cooking skill as well as school performance increase.They'll also gain school performance if they use sink,fridge and trash compactor.Sims in the education career/Teachers will gain job performance increase if only they use the whiteboard and the podium.
Science Classroom,Dance and Music Classroom
Teen Sims will gain science skill as well as school performance while using anatomy skeleton,science research station and brain enhancing machine.
In dance and music class musical instrument will give child and teen Sims associated
skills and school performance increase.Using dance floor and DJ turntable
will also give them performance increase.
Indoor and Outdoor Sports Zone
Here are indoor sports and outdoor sports area of my school lot.Sims
will gain school performance increase even in here.They'll gain so by
using soccer goal,golf driving range,trampoline,chess table and domino
table.Other objects in this area are for slacking off.
Teachers' Room and Principal's Office
There are two teachers' room in the school.Sims in the education career will gain job performance increase by practice writing interaction on computers in this room.
Chemistry Lab
Children and teen Sims' school performance bar will increase while using chemistry station.
Astronomy and Charisma Classroom
In astronomy class child and teen Sims will gain school performance as well as logic skills.
In charisma class teen Sims will gain school performance with charisma skill using mobile radio stations.
Gym
Teen Sims can also gain school performance by using these gym objects.

Library and Canteens
A big canteen for refreshments.Besides books for study,comic books are also available at the library for slacking off.I also added a register section in the library where Sims can buy books and comics.The school has several washrooms too.
Install Instructions:
- All the cc and mods are packed with the download file except zerbu's ultimate career mod which you need to download from here.
- This school lot works both with or without the zerbu's mod but the fact is that if you use zerbu's mod all the classroom will be functional as described above and if you do not wish to use that mod your Sims will disappear behind the rabbit hole door as usual they do with ea school.
- Sims 3
university expansion required because I largely used the objects of this
expansion on this lot.
- I've attached a document fully explaining how to get the school work
with the zerbu's ultimate career mod with install instruction to the
download file.
- The download file is a compressed file you may need 7zip to extract it.Please feel free to ask questions or tell problems about this download in the comments.
Download the School Lot
If the school lot doesn't show up in the game, please download the library file below and copy it in your My Documents> Electronic Arts> The Sims 3> Library folder. Then start your game and you'll find the school lot in your library on Edit Town mode.

What an extraordinary building! I have TS3 on my Mac - will it be functional on my computer?
ReplyDeleteThis lot will be functional on your mac.But if you want to see and control your child and teen sims attending classes at this school community lot rather than disappearing in the school rabbithole,you need to install this mod first in your sims 3:http://zerbu.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/ultimate-careers-v4.html
DeleteDid you use mods before for TS3 in your mac?If yes then it's really easy for you as you just need to put that mod in your mod folder and then download my school lot,extract the zip file and install it.Sims 3 university expansion required because I largely used the objects of this expansion on this lot.I've attached a document fully explaining how to get the school work with the zerbu's ultimate career mod with install instruction in the download file.The download file is a compressed file you need 7zip to extract it
I need help, I have everything I need such as the Zerbu's mod and both mod packages that come with the download file. I also have the lot installed into my Sims 3 Launcher. When I entered the game I tried to go to my community lots because I deleted my school lot that was in my world and figured that this lot was going to be in my community lots in Edit Town mode. Nothing was there that was near the name of, "Par Excellence Academy". I've also went into Build/Buy Mode at the lot I wanted the school to be and made it "All Visitors Allowed" and checked in the Community Objects tab and there was nothing there that was similar to this. Please help me, I cannot even find the lot so I can't play with this.
ReplyDeletePlease download this package and place it in your Library folder in My Documents > Electronic Arts> The Sims 3 : https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgVLqxnC9-2doG8b8QcA_JkPlOal
DeleteYou'll now find the school in your library on Edit Town mode.
