Do service to your community with two new aspirations: Start with one of these aspirations to gain the Human Library reward trait, which will unlock the social interactions at just at level 4. At level 8 or above, Sims can teach entire classes using the podium. Sims who have achieved level 6 of a skill (level 5 for minor skills) can pass on knowledge to their children, friends, partners, roommates, random people on the street, you name it, with new social interactions. On certain days, the Teacher may be replaced by guest speakers from the Doctor, Detective and Scientist careers. Elementary students can apply for special opportunities (unlockable aspirations) from the Principal which, on completion, will grant the student Emblems that can be redeemed for reward traits that double the boost rates of specific adult skills. After completing enough activity-based goals, the player can call for a lunch break, which will spawn goals for socialising with students. Not happy with your choice? Get to know the Counsellor to unlock the “Undeclare Subjects” interaction on them. A Sim’s liked subject also determines which special opportunity is available to them.
Sims can even declare their liked and disliked subject with the “Declare Subject” pie menu of social interactions, and will receive special Moodlets on the days of their chosen subjects. There are five subjects: Personal Development, Problem Solving, Creative Arts, Health and Fitness and Science and Technology. As with previous versions, there are both Elementary and High Schools available for Child and Teen Sims respectively. There’s also a Principal, Caterer, Janitor and even a school Counsellor who can eliminate school boredom. A Teacher NPC stands and teaches a class of students.
For the first time, classrooms function like a real classrooms. Some opportunities require Get Together or City Living, but you can still play without them.
Go to School requires Get to Work to function. This new version vastly expands the original experience into a whole new mode of gameplay. The Sims 4 Go to School Mod Pack was first released on May 2015 and offered a simple event where Child and Teen Sims would go to school and complete goals which would boost their grade. That’s not all! Older Sims (or unusually gifted Child Sims who have succeeded in boosting their adult skills) can pass their knowledge onto other Sims and teach entire classes with the podium. Want more to do? Elementary students can apply for special opportunities (unlockable aspirations) from the Principal for a chance to earn Emblems and redeem them for reward traits that will help them later in life. Bored? See the Counsellor for a boost of spirit. Attend a different subject every day with the teacher NPC, and demonstrate your knowledge through activity goals.
Follow your Sims to school and help them achieve their education.
