Follow your little Sims during their school day!
If you ever wanted to go to school with your little Sims, and follow them during their daily school tasks, then today it’s your lucky day because Zerbu Tabek, a fellow simmer and a mod creator, published info about an awesome mod pack called ‘Go To School’!
Download this mod created by Zerbu Tabek
(learn how to install the mod)
How does the mod work? Just like in the Get to Work expansion pack, (which is required in order to make it work) you will be asked to follow your child or teenage Sim to school when he’s leaving home. The mod also includes two venue types: Elementary School and High School, which you can download from the Gallery or create from scratch.
But, that’s not all! To spice things up a little bit, the pack includes also introduction days, field trips, daily tasks and even the possibility for your little mischievous Sims to play ‘Hookie’ while an hologram does the boring school works!
Daily school activities
While attending Elementary School, a typical day for you children will have four main goals: Draw on the activity table, Play the Violin,Practice Typing and Experiment at the Chemistry table. Each of those interactions last for 15 minutes and your Sim will be given two goals at once you can choose from, which will change randomly between these four. Activities for the teenage Sims are still under development but they will most probably include skill building activities.
However, when they attend school for the first time, they will have an introduction day which is less focused on activities and more on getting to know classmates and making friends (in fact, your Sim has to complete each of the four goals only once). Introduction day is probably going to be extended also to teenage Sims on their first day of high school.
Field Trips and Events
The third day will always feature a field trip to a Library or Museum (teen Sims can also be sent to the Gym) and, just like the ordinary school day, each venues has its own four main goals to complete.
On the following days, random field trips and events will start happening, and make sure to have your little Sims work hard to get an A grade so they will have a chance to do a free field trip to Granite Falls! (this requires the Outdoor Retreat Game Pack.). Also, Sims with higher grades will have the highest chance to get random field trips.
Costume Day and Weekly Collection Hunt
But it’s not all about school day and field trips: A and B grade Sims will also experience a Weekly Collection hunt where they will be sent to a random lot in order to pick up collectibles and take photos, and if your Sim has an A grade, he can even be sent to hidden lots like Forgotten Grotto and Granite Falls!
On a more funnier note (because what is school without fun?) every Wednesday will be Costume Day for Elementary School children! I’m sure it will be hilarious for your little Sims to go around the school dressed like an hot dog, a bear, or even Yoda!
Play ‘Hookie’ and skip school!
What if your Sim is a bit of a nuisance and doesn’t care about all those activities? No problem: the pack also includes a new skill called ‘Hookie’ that’s just what they’re waiting for: when your Sim gets a F grade they will be given an option to skip school and send an off screen hologram that does all the boring work while they’re out having fun. By doing so they will develop the Hookie skill and, when it gets to level 2, they can decide to skip school whenever they like, even without a F grade.
Sounds great isn’t it? But, before you rush to download it, please remember to read all the instructions very carefully! Also, if you’re experiencing some issues after updating your game to the latest May patch, don’t worry: Zerbu has already updated the mod to make it work with the new game update, so be sure to download and install the mod once again, and don’t forget to check the mod website regularly to get the latest updates!
One last thing before you leave: please make sure to thank Zerbu Tabek on his blog or his Twitter page for all his efforts in building this mod!

Wow its amazing where can I get it ?
Hi Demi, the mod is still ‘under construction’ so it’s not available to download yet, but we will surely update the post when it’ll become available, so stay tuned! 🙂
Well now, how do we get it? I’ve seen youtubers play with it. I would like to download it myself. Is it free or do you have to pay?
Is it available yet?
AhahaAHhahah a moment of respect for Joy Rogers who comes back after 4 years.
Great! Now will you please give us toddlers!
This was not made by Ea.
Right! As the article says, this an user-made mod and not an official game pack 🙂
OH Wow!!!!! what on earth would the sims community ever be without such awesome modders. This is going to be freaking awesome. I’m keeping my eye on this for sure.
Yes, they’re awesome indeed 🙂
Thanks very much ..
thank you this is an awesome mod! (Sorry though) Can you tell me what I did, For some reason when my Sim goes to school there’s no events. She is a teen and I sent her to highschool (which was properly set up as a highschool) and The little task area was blank all day. Her progress bar did go up a tiny bit, but that was all
Hi, you should download and install it once again,because the latest game patch broke the mod and caused some issues, but the developer already fixed them and uploaded an updated version 🙂 Hope this helps!
Hi!
I know it just came out! I tried to use it but nothing happened but screwed up my game. I’m not sure if it was the new update, I deleted the mod and I’ll to install it again. Does it need GET TO WORK?
Yes it does.
Do you know how to fix it once it gets screwed up?
I just got this mod and only had one daily task to do at school.. not sure if it’s bugged or not?
This looks weird…Maybe you can try to see if you have any other mod installed that conflict with Go to School Mod, and make sure both the game and the mod are updated to the latest version. If you still experience issues after doing these steps, you can ask for help directly to Zerbu, he will surely help you to fix it.
Hi! When I tried to download it, the lot didn’t have the option to change to Elementary school or High school I think I made a mistake but I followed the instruction video???
So, for this mod to work we have to place a highschool and/or gradeschool lot that we downloaded from the gallery?
how do i download this mod ?

here is an updated mod for this pack.
be sure to read the entire post as the instructions will make it work.
EA needs to make this pack for the console game. This would be so fun to have. I love go to work so being able to follow your sims to school would be so cool.
