  • This mod adds a wonderful layer of realism to your gameplay.

17. Private School

The public schooling system in the Sims 4 is quite unrealistic and frankly, boring!

  • The Simston Private School mod introduces an entirely new schooling system to your gameplay!
  • This mod allows you to set up an interview with the headmaster of the private school where you need to convince them that your child is fit for the prestigious lifestyle.

Not all children are the same. Some sims go through awkward transitional phases that might not make them the best at socializing. I think we need a specific trait for that.

Children are awkward, so let them be with this mod. Download it here: https://modthesims.info/d/569044/the-socially-awkward-trait.html

3. Wants

The Sims 4 introduces us to a new wants and fears system and although this is a ton of fun, it can become quite tiring for a child to wake up every morning with the same unfulfilled wants… 

  • The Re-Roll wants mod is the best tool for a sim in their childhood years!
  • This mod rerolls your sim’s wants every morning. This means that your sim won’t have the same wants every day and they will be rid of the nagging responsibility of fulfilling them.

2. Uniforms

  • With this mod, you can create custom uniforms for students to wear and whenever they step onto the school lot, they will change into uniforms. 
  • I think that this mod is amazing because it takes the feeling of school spirit to the next level and allows you to create an environment where everything appears to be under control! 
  • This mod even allows you to create custom uniforms for teachers and custodians.
