Education Overhaul Mod: Kid Does Not Stay at Boarding School

I'm trying out the Education Overhaul mod for the first time today to help my Sims manage their huge family of soon-to-be 7 kids. Everything was working fine for many hours of gameplay. My toddlers go to preschool every day with no issues. My child Sim was accepted and enrolled in the boarding prep school.

Everything was working perfectly until my Sim left the home lot. When she returned home, the kid was back home even though she should have been at boarding school. I couldn't find a "go to boarding school" manual option anywhere on the kid, phone, or computer so I used the mod's built-in cheats to send her back to boarding school.

But she still wouldn't go. She'd change into her uniform and leave the lot temporarily but reappear back home a moment later. When 7-8am rolled around, the game tried to send the kid back to boarding school on its own but the same thing happened. She'd leave the lot for a couple seconds, then return home.

I left the lot and reloaded but that didn't make any difference. How do I keep this friggin kid at boarding school? I sent her to boarding school because she's annoying, ahahaha. Help me get rid of her pleaaase. 😅

My game is fully updated (November 4th, 2025 patch) and I am 99% sure the mod is fully updated as well. I didn't see it listed on the November 4th broken mods list and I just downloaded and installed it last night directly from adeepingo's website. I installed all the files so nothing should be missing and I have all the required packs for each file.

I know the boarding school feature is new and experimental; I read the mod description and notes and everything so it may just be buggy because of that but I'm still hoping there's some kind of workaround solution.

  • Read somewhere that the mod doesn't allow more than one child or more than one teen from the same household to go to boarding school at a time. Having the same issue with my Sims. Not  sure if its by design or if it's a bug.

    MissMagnificent​ Do you own the Royalty and Legacy EP? I'm exploring an issue with career loss that might be related to having that EP and having careers (including school careers) that break the Sim Picker if you don't have Lot 51 Core Library. It's possible that you're seeing this issue. It would be very helpful to me to know if you have that pack!

    I'll note that a.deep.indigo hasn't cleared her mods as patch-compatible but that this mod was already not fully compatible with the Royalty & Legacy EP.
