It’s school time! The end of the summer vacation always rings with some cheers and groans as Sims everywhere prepare to go back to school. Children are packing up their backpacks, teenagers are joining their clubs and sports teams, and parents are shoving their children out the door to the bus stop. The items in this showcase work well with Zerbu’s Go To School mod or with your own private school!

1. Class Clown Aspiration by Scumbumbo
Any teacher could tell you that in a classroom, there are children of all personalities and backgrounds! That’s why Scumbumbo created the Class Clown Aspiration. This mod works similar to the other aspirations that are available (to children only) along with goals leading up to three miletones. Children that complete this aspiration are rewarded with a custom Class Clown trait that increases Comedy Skill and lowers the Social Need slower than usual.

2. Backpacks by Inabadromance
Hyping up for the first day of school wouldn’t be the same without a brand new backpack! For children only, this unisex accessory can be found in the Bracelet category with a custom thumbnail that will definitely catch your attention. There are thirteen color options. Not only can your Sims sling it over their shoulder to wear, but Inabadromance has gone a step further and created two sizes of decor backpacks to hang from shelves and place on your lot. Every deco backpack comes with sixteen different variety and the set includes two different shelves with seven color swatches.

Who would have thought something so small could be so powerful?

A whole list of interactions beyond that include: Write Jokes, Write About Feelings, Write Genre Book, Read, Analyze, and more. An amazing amount of detail has gone into this little notebook with nineteen different color swatches.

9. No Goals Needed For School by ReubenHood
Some of us just don’t like the idea of having to meet goals for our Sims to get promoted to the next grade in school. That’s what ReubenHood was probably thinking when they created this mod! Whether you have lost interest in your child Sims or they just don’t have enough time to get in the right mood, your Sims will be able to progress as though they have.

10. No Shame in Bad Grades and No Losing Kids To Bad Grades by DrChillgood
Last but certainly not least, these are two alike mods uploaded together but can be downloaded separately. Is school too much to handle for your Sim? Not to worry, DrChillgood has scared away that pesky Sim Social Services. Your Sim will not be taken away as a child if they fail through school and your Sim will not receive a negative moodlet for just not being up to par. Now you can spend your Sim’s time on something more important like setting traps and watching TV!

Whether your Sim is a straight A student, average, or dodging the principle, there’s a little bit of everything out there to enhance and personalize your school time. Chalk these mods and content up to treating your Sims for the next semester!
