Updated: 8th Apr 2009 at 4:51 PM - added fixed version, added info for running school
This requested lot was a real challenge for me, but I had fun seeing how much I could do with it. I used red & black a lot, which were my high school colors. I built this to be used as a school with teachers that live in the upstairs dorms, but I suppose it could have other uses. Maybe it could be used as a boarding school, or a gigantic dormitory. I forgot to make a computer lab, but it would be easy to do by putting computers on the tables in a classroom or in the cubicles in the library.

Edit 12/26/07: I have added a fixed version of the school. No one has complained, but it bothered me. When I built it originally, I used Numenor's Unlevel Walls in a few places, which leaves a few holes in the building for anyone without that particular mod installed. These holes were in the back of the school, affecting the base of the gym wall and part of the greenhouse walls. The fixed greenhouse's roof isn't quite as nicely curved as it was originally, but we can't have it all. Other those couple of changes, it is identical to the original school. The last attached photo shows the new greenhouse roof.

Edit 12/22/06: I've had a few requests to provide a .zip file of my school for those unable to open .rar files. Since I'm not supposed to provide both files types here on MTS2, this is a link to download it in .zip format: http://www.box.net/public/422kmvbs8x#main


If you read nothing else, for the love of all that is holy, please read this:
This is lot is a house. I can do nothing to make it work like a school for you because the game just doesn't see it as a school. Even if you change it to a community lot, it will still not be a school. This is not my fault - blame Maxis/EA. If you want to play this lot as a school, leave it as a residential lot and use Inge's hacks from Simlogical here:

There is also a downloadable tutorial on Inge's forum with instructions on running a school here:

P.S. I am sorry, but I'm not Inge, and I don't offer support on running a school. Please politely ask questions at the forums on Simlogical for support on using her awesome school hacks.
