Get to School: All your ideas here!
Hi all! o/ So, "Get to School" is something most of us want. Not just university, but a whole multi-life stage integrated learning experience. From toddlers to elders (and maybe the dead?). So, pleas...
Forum Discussion
- For ages Baby to Children.
- Self-employed profession only (like in The Sims 3).
- You can send your babies, toddlers and kids for daycares controlled by other families.
- To open your Daycare you must call the Social Worker's Office where you will set up a meeting with a social worker. They will assess if your location is appropriate to receive the children and then give you a work permit.
- When you are going to receive your permit, the Social Worker will ask if you want to open a Daycare or an Orphanage.
- Toddlers will be dropped off at the Sim's house in the morning and children arrive on their own after their school day (which may or may not include afterschool activities they are enrolled in).
- At the end of the day, a report is given based on each child's mood; the best being "great." If the child had an "okay", "good", or "great" report, the parent will give the daycare provider a handsome tip.
- Responsibilities eventually include working on the weekends as well as taking care of a "problem child." Problem children will break appliances and electronics if left alone. Their homework takes longer for them to complete as well. Occasionally, a problem child will not do their homework, even if they are asked to. The player must initiate the "help with homework" interaction to get them to do it. The daycare provider will have an option to "talk about problems" with them, which keeps them out of trouble and keeps items intact. Eventually, problem children will be "cured" and will no longer break appliances or require special attention. Curing a problem child will earn the daycare provider a 1,000 simoleon tip.
- Sims who reach level 3 in this profession will have the "Tell Tale" self-interaction. This option is used to have the Sim tell a tale for the children, which increases their social and fun needs. When this is initiated, the toddlers and children will gather around and listen to the tale being told.
- If children are repeatedly in horrible moods when their parents pick them up, a daycare provider can lose their daycare license. Operations will be suspended until the Sim gets their license back; this entails taking a class at the Social Workers Office, which costs §1000.
- For ages Baby to Teen
- Voluntary work (no remuneration).
- To open your orphanage you must call the Social Worker's Office where you will set up a meeting with a social worker. They will assess if your location is appropriate to receive the children and then give you a work permit.
- When you are going to receive your permit, the Social Worker will ask if you want to open a Daycare or an Orphanage.
- The Social Worker will require at least two adults to give you the Orphanage permit (this way one adult can work to bring money, while the other take care of the orphans).
- It works like a family, except in this scenario you can not control the orphans directly (you can only influence them to do things).
- Children taken away from families by the Social Worker will no longer be deleted, you can find them living in orphanages or you can adopt them in your computer or smartphone.
- From time to time a couple will pay a visit to meet the orphans, the more well behaved, disciplined and studious the child is, the more likely the family will adopt any of them.
- For ages Toddler only.
- One of the stages on the Teacher active career.
- You can watch and control your Toddlers there.
- Toddlers will develop their Communication, Imagination, Movement, Potty and Thinking skills faster while in Pre-School.
- Areas covered in the Pre-School education should be around that:
- Personal, social, economic and emotional development
- Communication (including sign language), talking and listening
- World knowledge and World Understanding
- Creative and aesthetic development
- Mathematical awareness
- Physical development
- Physical health
- Play
- Teamwork
- Self-help skills
- Social skills
- Scientific thinking
- Literacy
- #Freethebabies
- Sims from ages teen and up can now help the Toddlers develop their Communication, Imagination, Movement, Potty and Thinking skills.
- There is a new skill for toddlers: Finger-Painting skill on paper. If a toddler develops this skill in its full capacity, they will learn the painting skill faster than other sims, as well as new paintings made only with fingers in the easel that will be slightly expensive when selling.
New objects could include:
- Baby swings
- Play mats
- Rocking horses
- Baby changing stations
- Sandpits
- See-saws
- Rocking chairs
etc.
