About This File

Frosch Elementary is an elementary school with a slightly greater capacity than the Large Elementary School found in the game.

  • 5x4 elementary school lot.
  • MaxisNite and DarkNite night versions.
  • DarkNite requires the Day and Nite Modd.

This is an adaptation of a non-SimCity project, an elementary school designed for a triangular site in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

The first render shows the main entrance and covered student waiting area, mural, and the relationship with the street.

The second render shows the playground. Train tracks are to the left, a small downtown is behind, and a neighborhood is to the right. The low brick volume is the gym/cafeteria/auditorium, which is in the basement along with the library.

Across from train tracks that run next to the site, there is a municipal parking lot and Frog Island park which has large sports fields.

Very great BAT with high quality. But I agree with the guys above. You should really make a better lot.

There is nothing wrong with the lot. Seems we are quite divided on this one. Luckily the rating so far reflects our admiration more than division.

It's notable that you've put alot of work into this, and from what can be seen here and in-game, it's a great one.
This bat don't need to be shy and stand in the shadow of your other work but can proudly keep its head up.

Thank you.

I think it's a very nice upload. The lot is not particularly flashy, but we need to all remember that in real life lots are not nearly as detailed as we make them in SimCity 4. Also, it's great to have a unique building for a change.

I remember back when I went to school, we had large open concrete areas for assemblies etc... we didn't exactly have to find spaces between playground equipment, lol.... 5 Stars bro.

Yeah, I don't see what is wrong with this. Looks realistic and simple. Yes, the grass could be different, but everyone uses different grasses.

5/5...keep em coming. These buildings really help with the variety in my cities!

The open cement or grass area is the playground? What kind of boring playground is that? Real playgrounds have playground equipment.

Any elementary school I've ever visited has a playground with playground equipment like swing sets, jungle gyms, monkey bars. Only schools that wish to bore children to death or else had some serious underfunding would have nothing more than an open plaza or grass area and call it a playground.
