The Institution Sign will disable the school bus from arriving at the lot. (If you don’t have the sign, you’ll need to download the School Changer and the Flexi School option. ) The institution doors on this page don’t have any special capabilities, but are a good option if you want consistency on the school lot. 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.

Double-click the folder within your Sims 2 folder titled “Downloads”. (If there’s no Downloads folder, right-click the File Explorer or Finder window and create a new folder, and title it “Downloads”. ) Move all of the IJ package files into the Downloads folder.

If you haven’t previously used custom content, click the box that says “Enable custom content”, press OK, and then restart your game.

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.

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.

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.

To assign students, click on an empty pupil token. Choose Enroll. . . , select “Child” or “Teen”, select the last name of the family the student lives in, and click on their first name. Then, assign them to a class with Assign to class. . . , and choose a class number. (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. . . , and then select the Sim you want to be the teacher. 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.

Click the School Bell to set rules. These rules can disable some autonomous behaviors, like reading in bed or fighting, and can be used to force students to adhere to a bedtime (if you’re running a boarding school). Click the Classroom Controller to set class times. Select Timetable Grade work/Classroom for Class. . . to set what days and times the class is in session. Morning (AM) classes run from 9 AM to 12 PM, while afternoon (PM) classes run from 2 to 5 PM. (If you hit the wrong option, go to the timetable and clear the class. ) Click the Classroom Controller to set classes. Use Pre-set Class. . . to set whether the class is for all students (“All Pupils”) or for one specific class. Choose Pre-set Subject. . . to designate whether the class does Grade work or Classroom work.

To start school, click the School Bell and select Start school. All nonresident students and teachers will be summoned to the lot and made selectable. To start classes, click the Classroom Controller and click Start Grade work for class. The students and teachers will be summoned to the room. Students will usually stay in class, but you can direct them to leave the room if they need something. (If students or teachers wander out of class, click Call. . . on the Classroom Controller, then click Stray pupils or Teachers to call them back. ) Click the School Bell and select End school to make all non-resident students unselectable. (You may have to have a Sim perform “Say Goodbye” for the students to leave. )

If you haven’t previously used custom content, click the box that says “Enable custom content”, press OK, and then restart your game.

Make two classrooms. Place at least twelve student desks in each. (The mod comes with a one-tile student desk, though any type of desk will work. ) Place several bookshelves in the classroom. The mod will send Sims to study skills from books, so place multiple to avoid routing issues. Outside, place playground equipment (like swings or the playground tower from Apartment Life) so that Sims have a place to go for recess. Include restrooms so that Sims can use the bathroom, and fridges or vending machines so they can eat. Decorate as you see fit.

You can place up to three desks on the lot; the third desk will serve as the headmaster’s desk, and will have red flowers. However, placing further desks will cause the headmaster to have trouble figuring out which desk is his.

If you want to zone the lot as a private school, place two globes on the lot. Three globes will convert it back to public school. The mod will notify you of the school zoning when you click the globe in Buy Mode, so that you don’t lose track.

Sims need to all go to the same school. If some Sims are in private school and the others are in public school, the bus will come instead, because the mod can’t figure out where to send the Sims. To deliberately keep the taxi from coming, place the bus stop sign on the lot (either outside or on a surface indoors). This sign triggers the bus to pick up and drop off the Sims as though the mod isn’t installed. Use the community lot phone to send your Sim home if they miss the taxi after school. If your Sim misses the taxi to school, you can direct them to take a car to school or walk to school (if you have Apartment Life), but you won’t be able to go to school with them.

If your Sim skips out on studying, their grade will drop when they arrive home.
