The Sims 4 Go to School Mod Pack allows players with both The Sims 4 and The Sims 4 Get to Work to follow their Child and Teen Sims to school, similar to the three careers added in Get to Work. While the current version provides a simple event with occasional random field trips, the new version aims to provide a whole new gameplay experience and change the way you play with Child and Teen Sims, as well as a brand new career for older Sims!
- Sims will now attend an actual class: a Teacher NPC will spawn at a podium and teach the lesson of the day, while other Sims sit and listen. The player’s main goal is to attend the class and ask questions, which can be done by clicking the teacher and selecting an interaction. When the school day starts, NPC Sims will attend class for a random amount of time (1, 2, 3 or 4 Sim hours) before going off to perform activities.
- The school lot also has other new NPCs: the Principal, the Counsellor, the Caterer and the Janitor. The former two can be assigned to a specific part of the lot using a special rug.
- There will be a brand new career for older Sims, Education, which includes all the roles available on the school lot. NPCs on the school lot are drawn from this career, so if you switch households, the Sim you have in the career may be the one that actually appears!
- Classes and activities aren’t the same everyday: there are five subjects (Social Development, Problem Solving, Creative Arts, Physical Education and Science and Technology). In Elementary School, these take place on Monday-Friday respectively. Costume Day still takes place on Wednesday along with the Creative Arts class. The schedule for High School hasn’t been decided yet.
- You can pick a liked and hated subject for your Sim, by having them perform a social interaction. Sims will get a positive Moodlet on the day of their liked subject and a negative Moodlet on the day of their hated one. Your Sim’s liked subject will effect the special opportunities they receive!
- Sims have a School Spirit score! Those with high School Spirit will earn a positive Happy Moodlet while attending school, while those with low School Spirit will earn a negative Bored Moodlet. By default, they’ll be assigned a random level in the low range. School Spirit can be increased by talking to the Counsellor NPC.
- As well as boosting spirit, the Counsellor can also help get a Sim into the Confident, Focused, Inspired and Energized emotions!
- Sims who use an excessive amount of Mean and Mischief interactions may be assigned a punishment! While a Sim is punished, their school performance will decay drastically slower (this includes attending school inactively). The punishment will be lifted after the Sim earns Gold on a school day. Upon receiving it, they’ll lose a bit of performance and School Spirit as well. There is an upside, though: punished Sims benefit more from talking to the Counsellor, and if properly taken advantage of, it can negate the loss of spirit caused by being punished in the first place!
- If your Sim becomes friends with the Counsellor, it unlocks the Undeclare Subjects interaction, allowing you to change their liked and disliked subject.
- Field trips will be at a location specific to the subject of the day, and will have goals specific to that location.
- As well as field trips, there is also a chance the class will be given a guest speaker from the Doctor, Detective or Scientist career. I am still thinking of ways to improve this feature, but currently Sims will gain special Moodlets from being around them.
- Becoming friends with the Teacher and/or Principal will unlock special opportunities, which can earn your Sim tokens that can be redeemed for skill-boosting traits! The opportunities your Sim receives depends on their liked subject, but this can be changed using the Undeclare Subjects interaction on the Counsellor. There are also hidden aspirations that can be unlocked, which will give out a lot of tokens!
- There is a prom event planned for Teen Sims! I am still thinking of features for it, but it’s definitely on the list to add!
And now, get your first look at the new version with this video showing off the revamped first day of school event:

Zerbu you’re a genius!
But how do you designate an area as the introduction classroom? With the podium being there?
Reply to Nya
Yep, the teacher automatically spawns at the podium. You can designate a different area for where the normal teacher goes during a guest speaker event (for example, a teacher’s lounge).
WOW! This is amazing. Here are just a few ideas, if needed. I don’t mod, so idk what’s feasible and what isn’t…
Teen Prom:
-Could you make an “ask to prom as… (date) (friend) (group)” interaction that would allow teen sims to have dates? This could possibly utilize the ‘form group’ action that was introduced last year via a patch. Then, when the day arrived, sims could attend the prom and would already have their group together.
-Would random phone calls to be asked to prom be possible? Idk how the phone system works…
-Could prom be at night, too?
Other:
Could parents get visits from the principal/ counselor when a child has proven themselves to be a problem multiple times? lol
This is awesome!!! SO exciting!
Reply to Earri
There will be a way of bringing dates and friends to the Prom event, but having the group set before the event is probably too complicated for a mod. I haven’t decided exactly how the Prom will be implemented, but I do have a few ideas.
Good suggestion! I’m not sure if home visits will be worth the effort though. I do have parent-teacher meetings on the list of possible features, but I’m not sure if it will make it. 🙁

how do you download it?
Reply to Earri
They have invented a teen prom event… look it up on YouTube
Do we have to download a workable school lot. In the older version I can not attend school with my child.
Reply to Scarletlocs
Yeah, you’ll need a school lot in the world so there will be somewhere for your Sims to be sent to.
Oh I can’t wait!!!!! If you need more tester’s I would be happy to help. 🙂
Reply to Claudia Sharon
Thanks for the offer, but if I allowed just anyone who asked to be a tester I would get overwhelmed with requests. 🙁

Hi I’m new to sims4 and I’m kinda worry about the mod sims4 go to school how do it work and is safe to get
when will this be released?
Reply to emile20
I’m currently aiming for sometime in June, probably about a week after Dine Out so players will have time to enjoy that before the mod is released.

has this mod been released
Reply to Zerbu Tabek
When will this be done? I can’t wait.
Super excited for this. The get to school mod has been my favorite. Thank you!
WOWZERS, this is awesome Zerbu! I’m really excited to add it into my game, thank you
Where can we download it?
Reply to Kristen
It’s not out yet, still being worked on, sorry. 🙁
Reply to Zerbu Tabek
What now?
Is the mod gonna have its own school or do i need to download a school from the gallary?
You’ve really out done yourself on this one. It’s AMAZING. One question, will you still be able to go to school with one child per household hold and the others aren’t at that school? That would be great is all houshold children, in the same grade went to the same school when you go to school with one or maybe even the and have the option to go to school with all in the same grade.
Wow this looks absolutely amazing o_o I can’t wait to play it
I have a suggestion: Uniforms. Do you think you could make it possible for us to give the students school uniforms?
Would this mod allow more than one sims around the same age group attend? Like two kid sims in a household at the same time attend?
If that’s not feasible to do what with both having goals. Then could you choose to attend with one child but the other child in the household generates kind of like an NPC as the rest? The mod and over all features are fine though it’s a little immersion breaking when you have 2 kids or more that are in the same age group but the others go off to some unknown other school while attending school with one.
Will there be more that 6 students per school session?
Will you need Get To Work for this mod?
Reply to Carina

Reply to Nada F Nasution
How did u get it to work 😮
I have this mod and go to work but when the kids go off to school, it doesn’t pop up to let me go with them, anybody know how to fix it?
Reply to Jordan
You have to place an elementary or high school in the world first and change the lot type to school before sending them off
When I set the lot type, I still get the old version of High school and Elementary. 🙁 I already downloaded the new version of this mod. How can I fix this? Help! 🙁 Also, when I tried to send my sim to school, it won’t allow me to be with her during class hours. Hope, you can help me with this. Thanks…

I’m having the same problem after downloading the new version. It’s saying High School & Elementary (old version) and the icon use to be a desk now it’s just a box look. Any help you can provide will be awesome. Thank you.

Reply to Tru'
Did you get this resolved because I’m having the same problem as well
Reply to Tiona Joseph
Tiona, Hi, yes I did. Mines is working now. I downloaded the Turbo Career Mod along with the new venue list update. What was causing my problem was that the old venue list was in another folder, but once I deleted the old venue list and put the newest list in the folder. I went back in and of course the right icon was showing and all the newest schools was showing. I can now go to both schools with no problem and the teens and adults can also go to the other jobs. But the only problem is some of the job performances I can’t do because it only shows the sponge but not say what has to be done. But it works. I went on Zerbu and downloaded the fixed go to school mod pack that he put up 1-17-17. I think once you delete all the go to school old pack and download the new with the newest venue list, it will work for you. Let me know what happens.
Reply to Tru'
Hey Tru. Been so busy only got a chance to get back to the game a few minutes ago. I deleted the old files and they are now appearing which is great BUT my new problem is now getting the teachers to go lecture. I have a podium in both elementary and high school but still nothing. So frustrated cause I was really anxious about this MOD. Do you know why this may be happening? Another question. Forgive my ignorance but when a new patch is updated you have to redownload all files from the same site correct? And can you actually follow your adult sims in the education career to school??
Reply to Tiona Joseph
Hey Tiona, the Toddlers patch caused the podium issues along with many other things. Zerbu posted it on his Tumblr January 14, 2017 and he found out what the problem was and fixed it and posted a go to school patch update, link below. So you have to download the updated version and it will work and fix the glitch because the same thing happened to me but when I downloaded this it corrected that problem Just make sure you remove the old version. It’s not Zerbu it Sims 4. But he fixed it. I hope this helps, let me know. Take care. http://zerbu.tumblr.com/post/154260666737/the-sims-4-go-to-school-mod-pack-v4-release
Reply to Tiona Joseph
Oops, answering your last questions. Yes you should download the updated patches from Zerbu because he created them so it would be better that way. I usually check his Tumblr every now and then to see what is new if it is. Sorry, but no you can’t go to work as a teacher, principal or counselor in the Turbo Career Mod but you can follow them with all the other careers that you wouldn’t normally get to do. You can go to work with the teens too with Turbo Career Mod Minus two others but I don’t remember which one’s it is.
When i click the teacher there is no option to attend a class, could someone please help me fix this! And yes i have a podium.
The actions that it wants me to perform, such as study art or ask for counselling, are not showing up in their respective menus. Am I missing something?
how do you download??
I am having some issues with the get to school mod I successfully installed it, but when I am prompt to follow my sim to school it directs to the manage word page and even if i try to manually select the location it does nothing. In some instances if it carries me to the school but the task nor the students show up. please help.
can someone tell me where can i get both the latest go to school, venue lists etc downloads updates? please help me i really wanna play this go to school..
So I can’t enjoy this update without the City Living Pack?! Huhuhu
if u got issue with the podium do not extract drag and drop it in the mod folder.
Reply to Lataya Edwards
Can I ask what you mean by this? I’ve been using V3 because I’ve not been able to get the Podium to work. I’d rather be using the newest version. I usually just open the zip file and rag and drop it into the mod folder but the podium doesn’t work.
i just downloaded this mod and it was working at first until i pressed “miss school” after that, the option to go to school wont pop up anymore
Is it possible to have kids of the same household attend the same school? Like for example, i have 2 teens, can I make them attend the same school? It’s okay even if you cant control both, as long as my other sim is there. HOW?
I may be blind here, but where is the link to the download?
Do you have any idea why the study skill online option isn’t popping up for me? Does it only work if you set up a school? Can I play the aspiration as well as the high school career without setting up everything?
Thank you for such a dedicated mod! It’s awesome.
I love the mod I have a quick question my sim have a quest to study online but I don’t see how to fill it can you explain it to me thank you?
Reply to Amelia Williams
I know this is old but im havingbtjis problem also have you found out why?
Is there a way to hire more teachers for different subjects? Or is there just one teacher for all subjects?
I have downloaded your mod and sorted the files out correctly and the venue types are there but when it is time for my child and teen sims to go to school they just go to the same rabbit hole. I visited the venue to see if there was anything there and all the students and staff where there but there was no option for my child/teen sims to go to school.
Hey I have a Question…
Somehow, the „Learn Skill online“ Option doesn’t pop up on my computers which basically means that I can’t do some of the school-request nor can I do the education aspiration because learning a skill online is required.. Dies anyone know how to fix this?
Hi there,
I just came across your mod. It works very well when I play a teen or a child in the respective school but unfortunately playing the teacher job does not work. It says there is a script problem. That’s because of the last patches, isn’t it? So, I never can play the teacher job, right? You won’t update the script for the teacher job, will you?
I love the mod and I would have loved my sim to become a teacher but I want to thank you anyway, because the teen and child version is still playable.
I cant find where to download this on your page? Please help.
idk why my sims can’t get a educator career i want my sims to get one and i did download the mod pack and install it and and extract it soo i don’t know why it is not working help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
