Education

[Sandis_van_Great 346]

Hello, im getting weird issue..

So i started a new city(im playing legitly) and as ussual at the start city cant afford scools.

After time whent i opend my first school, everything seemed okey, than i made few more schools For now i have 2 large elementary schools, 2 librabrys and one high school.

I normaly dont look at charts but i did it now and what i noticed was that education is a bit past 0. Than i look at 500year scale and i noticed that the highest point i hade was around 20, about the time i opend my first school.

So what could be cousing this issue? All the schools are maxis.

If you ask about any new mods, than the newest thing i did was use dat packer thats all.

maybe funding? The places that you put them can also affect it. make sure that they're in your residential areas and the cover all of your people.

Idk, maybe your just experiencing a glitch.

they are, i lookt at the map everything is in red color, and i check how much people are in schools it was from 7-11 only the high school hade around 303 kids.

EDIT: Heh for some reason after doing notthing education rised up to around 50, by checking the education by age now it seems that older people got smarter.

P.s can it be that the education is low becouse my population is mostly 40-70 years old people?

I think it might be because your city doesn't have very many young people. Also remember to add a college/university for the older people especially. Its too late for your old people right now but it would be great for you to have a college.

A university would be preferable to the city college. Universities educate Sims up to 100 years old, while colleges only go up to 80 years. Still, the effect is fairly minimal at the higher end for both. To really educate your older Sims well, libraries and museums are the key. They both do a good job up to age 100, and the museums keep working better as the Sims get older.

Elementary schools start dropping off in effectiveness at age 30, with minimal effect at age 40 and no effect at age 50. High schools start dropping off at age 40, and have no effect at age 60.

Now that's interesting. Is that documented anywhere or have you been reading the code?

It's in the Prima Guide. They even have little graphs by age for each type of educational facility.

Ah. I had a copy of it, but it got lost in the last move. It probably went when I gove my library away.
