In the first two games and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', the school is located off-screen and is not visible to the player, just like [[career]]s. In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', the school is a [[rabbit hole]] building.


Restaurants in general consist of at least three employees—a host that seats customers; a server that delivers the food; and a chef that prepares the dishes. The restaurant will also require a podium for the host to be stationed at, a stove for the chef to cook with, and a sink or [[dishwasher]] for the servers to wash the dirty dishes in. In ''Hot Date'', restaurants also required a [[Refrigerator|fridge]] and a preparation surface.
Children and teenagers attend school on weekdays and are free from it during weekends (except for ''The Sims'', in which weekends don't exist). School days usually last for around 4 to 7 hours, depending on the game. Children in school will have grades, that work similarly to [[job performance]] of careers. Grades can be boosted by doing various forms of activities during free time. These include studying from books, completing tasks, and raising [[skill]]s. Sims will get [[homework]] after school days, and failing to complete them generally results in bad grades. In ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'', players can also assign tasks for the Sim to do during school. They vary from sleeping in classes, working harder than usual, or just gaining more friends.


Restaurants appear in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' as [[rabbit hole]] locations that players cannot see into. Sims can choose to eat at a [[diner]] or a [[bistro]]; the latter is more expensive, but can trigger events that will not occur at a diner. Players can direct their Sims to stay for dessert after the meal, but otherwise cannot choose what their Sims will order, and cannot see their Sims eating inside the restaurant. However, a venue from [[The Sims 3 Store]], titled the [http://store.thesims3.com/setsProductDetails.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:67573 Business as Usual Bistro], features a working restaurant, complete with the ability to assign a chef, set the menu, and decide the opening hours for the restaurant. If a Sim owns the restaurant, they can also profit from it.
Other forms education alongside normal schools exist for children and teenagers to attend. In ''The Sims'', children whose grades linger at F for several consecutive days are first given a warning, then banished to [[military school]]. In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', Sims can attend [[SimCity Academy|private school]] if they have a minimum grade of C. In ''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'', children and teens can be sent to a [[Boarding School|boarding school]] and take a [[Afterschool class|class after school]].

A family of four ordering at a restaurant in The Sims 4: Dine Out.

A restaurant is a type of location in The Sims series that allow Sims to eat out at community lots without having to cook for themselves. They were first introduced in The Sims: Hot Date, and later reintroduced in The Sims 2: Nightlife and The Sims 4: Dine Out. The Sims 2: Open for Business and The Sims 4: Dine Out allowed Sims to run a restaurant in an owned business, managing its staff, menu, and pricing. In these games, players are able to see inside the restaurant and direct their Sims around as usual once inside.

Restaurants in general consist of at least three employees—a host that seats customers; a server that delivers the food; and a chef that prepares the dishes. The restaurant will also require a podium for the host to be stationed at, a stove for the chef to cook with, and a sink or dishwasher for the servers to wash the dirty dishes in. In Hot Date, restaurants also required a fridge and a preparation surface.

Restaurants appear in The Sims 3 as rabbit hole locations that players cannot see into. Sims can choose to eat at a diner or a bistro; the latter is more expensive, but can trigger events that will not occur at a diner. Players can direct their Sims to stay for dessert after the meal, but otherwise cannot choose what their Sims will order, and cannot see their Sims eating inside the restaurant. However, a venue from The Sims 3 Store, titled the Business as Usual Bistro, features a working restaurant, complete with the ability to assign a chef, set the menu, and decide the opening hours for the restaurant. If a Sim owns the restaurant, they can also profit from it.
