School

ITwwl is lean about poeple
--lI Child- ---ren and Teens go to school at either  Community School for the Gifted in Sunset Valley, Truelong Community School in Riverview, Stary Community School in Twinbroo=fsfwsdgqw

Sims can now get detention at school, If they are caught sleeping in class or copying homework (tasks the player can assign kids while they're at school), they will be kept after school for a few hours, which can interfere with any part time job. (Note that Sims will less likely get detention if their grades are higher than a "B".) While staying late, the student can choose their tone but they will not see any improvement in grades or performance, however, if a Sim is absolutely miserable, their grade might decrease anyway. When detention is over,students will have to find their way home.

Kids may still bring home friends after school. They can also be invited over to another student's house to play. Students who go to each other's houses will live within a reasonable distance from each other. The closer the other student, the more likely the invitation is. Both teens and children can work hard, meet friends and do other interactions. If the child or teen does not have a high performance at school then the player will not be able to choose what their next trait is when they grow up. If you want your Sim to have good grades then make sure they are at school on time every day, otherwise they will get bad grades and they will not age well.

Children attend Elementary School from 9:00am to 3:00pm, while teenagers attend High School from 9:00am to 2:00pm (the extra hour is to benefit teens who have part-time jobs). The Elementary and High School share the same building.

If the school has been deleted then children and teens will stop going to school. Also, if you control one of the few ghost teens or children, they might not be signed up for a school.
