Let’s dive into this simple guide and revamp your Sims’ schooling experience.
1. A New Career Path – K-12 Educator
Say goodbye to the standard Professor and Administrator roles in the Education Career. With the Education Overhaul mod, your Sims can now pursue the K-12 Educator branch, adding depth and realism to their career progression. From Primary School Teacher to Principal, each level offers unique tasks and responsibilities, enhancing the overall gameplay. Don’t forget to help your Sims get a degree for added perks like bonuses and boosted performance.

2. Introducing Preschool
Now, your youngest Sims can attend preschool! A fantastic addition to the mod, preschool lets parents leave toddlers for 7 hours every workday. Simply enroll your toddler by clicking on them and selecting “Enroll to Preschool.” It’s an optional feature that doesn’t interfere with daycare or nanny options, ensuring your toddlers are well-cared for while parents are away.
3. Diverse Enrollment Options
Education Overhaul brings realistic enrollment options with six new schools:
