About This File

This is a lot that looks like a typical Maxis house....but is it?

 

No, it's not. It's a school designed to blend in with your suburban communities or rural hamlets. Usually in suburbs, you have to put so many schools in your area that it looks slightly unrealistic. This school is designed to take care of the unrealistic AND the number of schools problem.

 

It is modded as an an elementary school, but has some slight benefits as other school types. Not enough to get by without the others, but noticeable. To balance this out, it has some drawbacks, like monthly cost and plop cost being slightly higher.

 

There is one dependency. You need the Buildings As Props mod from the Maxis SC4 site. Or else, a purple box will shwo up.

 

Also, if you don't have the SFBT Maxis Tree Converter mod thingy, the tree will instead be a Maxis oak tree. If I'm wrong, it's just a tree. This lot was supposed to blend in anyway. Who cares.

 

Here are the stats.

Capacity-500

Radius-680

Plop Cost- Either free or 1000 (not like it matters much, lol)

Size- 1x2

 

If you have any questions or comments, don't be afraid to leave them here or send me a PM. I'm still getting the hang of making custon content, so this is probably not flawless.

4/5 - Very useful, but who doesn't want to have a real school for realistic suburbs? Mostly useful in eyecandy CJs...or space-lacking suburbs.

Can you add a in-game picture? And I think you should add some more houses to look like a teaching room.

Fantastic. It is UNREAL how many schools you have to place. I live in a town of 2300 people and its a BIG area. We have 3 schools (elm,middle,high) and in sc4, for a city our size, would need at least 6 (2 of each type, even then a little bit may be unschooled) 5/5 - 10/10

It looks nice, although slightly unrealistic in terms of student capacity. Also, mine's called "custom ploppable".

Im getting custom ploppable to. I suggest reuploading one with a name made in the plugin manager,it looks so much more proffesional.

It's not supposed to look like a realistic, 500-student school....or else it would ruin the entire point behind making this. I don't know why it says custom ploppable, I thought I took care of that. Sorry.

this is a clever idea... I've had a bunch of small towns where it required a ridiculous amount of schools. Something like this helps with realism (at least from a visual standpoint).

Maybe instead of placing 6 schools, this allows you to place a resonable number of normal Maxis schools and 3 of these \, therefore balancing it out wihtout adverse effects.

Looks can indeed be deceiving. This lot is great for disguising schools in neighborhoods, and it actually looks quite a bit like the schoolhouse I went to not that long ago.

Santa coincidencia Raysfan16, estava eu pensando justamente neste problema, que aqui costumamos chamar de escola rural ou escola isolada, que atende justamente a necessidade dos Sim dad
