Well, no, see, the point is that it's an alternative to the basic rabbit hole layout. If you want a functional school I made one of those, too, but this is just a prettier rabbit hole for those of us who like a little variety. ;) (Though if you want to be fair, there is a playground and fishing pond on this lot). It's also intended for Machinima and decoration- that's what the tennis courts are for.
You can use the school. If you place it down and remove the original, sims will eventually start going to it, but if you want to use it with the other, you will need awesomemod or twallan's whatever. Your sims will have to be enrolled in it, they will not automatically pick a school, and that only applies to sims YOU make. (If you click a school, you can choose to "start" it.) Story-progression created sims pick a school at random, I believe.
It's rather complicated, and I personally don't remember how you're supposed to do it. I simply use one and only one school at a time so I don't have to deal with it.
But Awesomemod and the supercomputer allow sims to switch schools, yes. I would recommend getting awesomemod and altering the config file (there is a tool to do it on the download page). There's an option for forcing sims to ENROLL in school, and that way any sims you have can choose which they go to. :D
You could ask on either's forums how you're supposed to manage it, because I honestly don't remember and/or never figured it out beyond that. Sorry. :\
Even though I sort of dislike Claeric, I commend him for making this.
Really good.
And for all of you saying you have to 'jump through hoops to get it working' you guys are nitwits. Delete the old school put this down. If you have awesomemod put it where ever. Done.
I love the tennis courts, so creative and imaginative. It is quite simple but I would´ve never thought of it. I never download lots however. Very well executed though.
Oh, btw, it was intended to be placed at the lot where Goth Manor is in Sunset Valley. The tennis courts overlook the town and the parking lot lines up with the road. But it fits up in the fancy part of sunset valley, too.
I love your creations! I have your CAS world, your island world, and the new Wraithsands that I am currently playing. I really like this school and will enjoy using it! .
As for jumping through hoops, that is utter bs! How freaking hard is it for your people to follow instructions to get Awesomemod working properly? I couldn't imagine playing without it! I don't even update my game until there is at least a test version of Awesomemod for the patch. It seems like if some people have to do anymore than click a provided link, copy, and paste into a folder it's just too much work! Some people need to learn to be self sufficient! Being self sufficient will make it so you aren't needing or expecting someone to hold your hand and walk you through everything!
I wish I could use the cas world, that seems to be totally cool. I just don't want to update for fear of having to do another uninstall like the last update... But like I said...this is amazing!
I wish EA would bring back the option to put your kid in private school. It doesn't need to be full of new interactions, maybe include the Headmaster but I just want a different building and school uniform.
Looks good. But nothing to do with it. Pointless.

Another wonderful creation from Claeric. Good Job!
ReplyDeleteIt'd be great if the lot wasn't SO big.
