Finally finished my school build and got decent screenshots!

I've rebuilt the school, in the style of my old (British) school I went to many years ago - though I've added some updates to make it fully functional in the sims.

It does use a few packs as I wanted to get the right things where possible, but it doesn't use too many.

My username on the gallery is JemmaTheSimmer if you want to download it.

So I noticed the patch update caused the lot save itself to have an error code: 111:41812468:a789117c. The only way to fix it was to rebuild the whole thing. I happened to have a safe shell save of the build so I rebuilt it and uploaded it, I'll be deleting the old one this 8/14/22 so any weekend players that might have downloaded it will know they can use the other version if they want.

I also made a base game only version.

Version for players that own most of the packs:

I downloaded Cepzid's arcade pack. Since it's custom content, I pretty much had to build my own arcade/skate park (set as a park). I am not a builder plus it was a small lot, but I thought it fit well in Copperdale. It's on the empty lot close to the Pier, so it's a good place to start if a Sim wants to visit the pier.

@Babykittyjade what are your systems specs? The computer "I had" wouldn't take on hardly any cc. This newer computer hubs let me "borrow, so he says lol" should be able to download all kinds of stuff. I'll be cautious and do a little at a time. I mostly want recolors of maxis cas...

This is an MSI Aegis 3. According to the specs I'm reading it says: 8th Gen Intel core 17-8700 processor
Chipset: B250
Memory 16GB max. 32GB
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 1070 Ti
Storage 2TB hard drive and 256GB SSD

Honestly I don't know what all of that means but I went through a few different gaming computers that could not handle reshade and all of my cc combined. I had to put cc in and out of my computer when I wanted to use it and that was frustrating. I set out on a mission to change that!
This is my second MSI brand computer. My uncle brought me the first one and I gave it as a gift to my brother when his laptop broke. And I will NEVER buy another brand computer. There may be better ones out there Idk, all I know is that MSI has not let me down yet. So far I have reshade (well not at the moment cause I'm going to try out Gshade everyone is talking about soon)
Ultra graphics settings, and more CC then the law allows as well as some mods. I get no lag or absolutely no problems at all. The game runs so smooth.
I did have my brother install an added HDD or SSD (can't remember which) for more space.
But as far as gameplay the only time I had a bad lag issue was when my game was full of high poly cc, and I had high poly stuff filled to the max on a 50×40 lot as a city.
I since then learned how important poly count really is because I had no idea. The problem is a lot of these new creators are making simple cc with over 100k poly count, trying to make everything look like a smooth 3D game like cyberpunk. They forgot that alpha cc for sims is about texture not how 3D it looks.

Anyway, once I removed all of my ridiculously high poly stuff the lag was gone. I do have some high poly stuff that I couldn't part with but not half as much as before.
But this PC continues to be a beast and handles almost anything I throw at it. Will never purchase another PC that's not MSI brand.
My next one will be a newer MSI. But as of now I have no need.

Thank you @Babykittyjade . I''ve downloaded a few lilmssams' mods and a few maxis recolors.

I may add batuu builds to Copperdale. :)

That is a very posh high school!

Honestly I think I would buy this pack for the build and buy alone as I am a massive fan of Art Deco (I have some Art Deco pieces myself and just love them to bits).
I kinda want to build a tiny non functioning thrift shop with an apartment above for my sims.

I’m actually really excited for the Art Deco elements of the pack! The flooring I have now is very similar to the Art Deco style that’s coming, it even has similar colors. Version 2 of the school will be completely transformed.

Well, swim suit is same as sportswear, you wouldn't normally wear your PE clothes during normal class but sims wear it. I will not be bothered if they will show up in class wearing swimsuits. But most probably most sims won't be trying to swim during school hours, from what I've seen from early release videos, most sims tend to gather in the cafeteria in their time off from classes. I think the pool will be mostly used after school and on weekends and I don't need to build a pool elsewhere in the neighbourhood.
