This is why...

^This is why I provide my worlds (that need them) with multiple schools and now also use this mod, which was developed much later in TS3's history than many others, to avoid the school and Uni door crowding issues in the first place. :)

I wish we had that in TS4, there isn’t even a school building right now :(

I have my school aged Simmies walk to school when they live nearby. Those who live further away bike to school (I have the school bus disabled). I try to time it so they get there near the tail-end of the line. By that time, there are so few Sim children waiting to get into school, that the routing is a bit faster. Most times it's about 9:30 when they are finally able to actually walk through the door. On the days when I absolutely want them to be first or near first in line, I have them wake by 5am, eat a good breakfast and leave by 7:30am

I usually get my sim-kids on the bus, then literally ignore them until they get home. Maybe I'm bad :lol: I mean, I do make sure their motives will last at least...

There are some mods in Sims4 that allow you to accompany your played child or teen sim to elementary or high school. The one I have tried is Zerbu's go to school mod, and it was working as of a couple of weeks ago, except for a couple of minor issues: the "be friendly to classmates" and "be friendly to staff members" interactions do nothing, so you have to level up your day's success at school, strictly through study and activities instead, and secondly, grades never improve no matter what you do, so you have to have some days when you don't go with your Sim to school, so that the default rabbit hole school takes over for that day, and you can have them "work hard" after making sure all homework and extra credit was done and they went to school in a good mood, and that usually ups the grades. Once you have the B or A you were seeking, you can go back to accompanying them for an eventful school day.

The other thing you need with Zerbu's mod, is a school downloaded into your game, with the lot trait changed to the custom one the Zerbu mod comes with,

Are there playable school mods in Sims3, anyone?

Zerbu's Ultimate Career Mod (for TS3) allows the player to design playable schools and career lots. :)

This, and the pandemic, is why my sim kids are homeschooling, watching educational shows on televison.

I'll have to check that out!

Using Nraas mods all children and teens go to school on other community lots not only the "normal" school. Like now in the fam. I'm playing at the moment the child is in the theater lot going to "art-school" and my teen goes to Entrepreneur Trainee school witch is in the business lot, never have any Que to worry about :D The different sims decided this on their own, so as i started to play this family (I jump from fam. to fam) the "kids" had joined these school so I just let them. Happy simming....

That bottle neck problem is one I fix as I go, put additional schools in one town and for Uni changed the student center entrance.
Need a place to keep my pics online so I can post them. Anyone know a good place to keep pics online ?
