Homeschooling/More School Options
I don't know about you all, but I was a socially maladjusted homeschooler growing up, and since I don't yet have children IRL, what better way to continue the tradition of poorly written Creation Sc...

There is a simple way homeschooling could be included that would be satisfactory to me, and then a more complex way that would leave me positively joyous. The simpler method would be that rather than going to school, Sim kids would use a workbook or the computer to complete the day's work--it would perhaps take a little longer than the homeschool book we have now--perhaps three to five hours (pssst--you actually don't need a six-eight hour day to get a full education). And that's it.
The more complex way would be to incorporate something similar to the Scout badge system that came with Seasons--you do a certain amount of tasks to meet educational requirements, and it can take as little or as much time as you like.
So, science for example--your kid could do experiments on the science table, use the observatory or microscope (who else hopes EA gives us a normal-size telecope and tabletop microscope???), complete projects like rocketry or robotics, et cetera. I think it would have to take a little longer than the Scout badges do for realism's sake, but you get the idea. Further educational opportunities would include trips to places like the museum or art gallery, or a day out to the city--even trips to the store (you'd be surprised how much you can learn from your mom showing you how to get the best prices on things--frugality and math, yay!)
For socialization you could sign your kids up with a homeschool group, which could either be a rabbit hole like Scouts/Drama, or a Get Together club situation where the kids all do schoolwork or projects together.
Don't forget online learning! A Simified version of Khan Academy can open up a whole new world of skills for kids to learn--from algebra to archaeology.

I like the idea with a homeschooling option! And fun with something like the SCOUT BADGES system! :smile: What if we can get an "Education pack" where you can choose if you want to be HOMESCHOLLED (daycare -> toodlers/and homeschooling with parents -> kids/teens) or if you want to go to a "REGULAR SCHOOL"?. I think something like "scout bagdes system" could be fun for both options. It´s a thread about an EDUCATION PACK here if your interested: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/17776925#Comment_17776925
