    The lessons are always exactly the same so I don't see a point in needing to use both to be honest. Atleast the NPC's use the 2nd room and it's not completely empty most of the time.
  • For the first time, yesterday, I found a second classroom. And I know I looked for it, too, the first day of playing this EP. LOL However, I had my Sims introduce himself to the principal the first day of school and I believe she mentioned he was in Class 1. That first experience, he also went back to that classroom in the afternoon. I ended up rolling back because I was wholly dissatisfied with what happened. (Almost had him graduate early! :open_mouth: ) Yesterday, I started anew. That's when I found an active second classroom. In fact, the first one there was nothing on the white board and no teacher. Although Erik's younger brother was in that classroom. Erik got to that second room late and instead of taking his seat, he pulled out his guitar and began to play. He is a Rock Star, after all. LOL Makes me wonder if it was truly an active classroom.
  • I mean, technically there's really only one classroom, since from what I've seen in all the release videos I've watched, the played sim always attends the exact same classroom, and the 2nd room is just for the sims who don't fit in class 1.

    It would've been more interesting if sims had their first class in one room, and their 2nd class in the other, so the same sim isn't teaching every single course. I'm building a new school right now and made 2 classrooms, but I wonder which one I'll be perpetually stuck with. Would've been nice to be able to use them both.
  • Has anyone tried moving the white boards around to different classrooms? You would probably still have the same teacher, but maybe you could have a different setting.
  • probably easier to route sims to correct rooms when there is just 2

    This is what I do and it works. I have differently decorated classrooms and move the whiteboard around every week just so I don't get bored with the same surroundings. You could move them daily but that was too much work for me since you can't do it while school is active so I just do it on the weekend.
  • Learned a lot from this thread already! I haven't tried other schools people have made yet, but I did find out that Room 2 was used for an afterscool exam prep meet my sim could attend.

    As for more classrooms, it would fmjust make the school even emptier in my game at least. In my game, there are only about 12 students in the building at any given time, I didn't count but about that. Divided between two classrooms, each class is still only a few students, amsk if there were more classrooms, unless the game could be made to have more students, those room would either be empty, or if you could put more whiteboards and spawn more teachers that way, there would be only 3 to 4 students in each class. The halls during free periods are so empty as it is, with so few students in a building that's even too large for that number.

    On a side note, I had to laugh because the building look like it was built in the 1940s to use up leftover wartime surplus materials or maybe like an old hospital from that period. I have been inside schools that old though not as a student, and there's a certain smell they have, maybe paste wax on aging linoleum. that one never forgets once one has walked the halls of those old places. I doubt many are still in use or at least they would have been refurbished by now. In those old (and usually decommissioned by now) building, you'd still sometimes see weird porcelain fixtures that were never seen after, and soap dispensers that dispensed pink powdered Boraxo that was gritty, rough on the hands, and extremely effective against grime, but tended to clump up around the button you push up on to get the powder out. Anyone remember that old stuff?

    Those buildings also and windows everywhere that opened, including in the restrooms, usually louvered ones set high in the wall, and similar ones above the door to the hallways for ventilation.
