Most of my siblings in the game are 100/100, at least by the time they get to late childhood.<br /><br />I miss your TS2 school as well! When you mentioned Ily, it all came flooding back to me and I started thinking about Gabe and Alberta! :)Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-3806031481202302202010-06-29T16:50:53.594+10:002010-06-29T16:50:53.594+10:00I asked Inge once about the school books over at S...I asked Inge once about the school books over at Simlogical when I was figuring it out and putting together my little tutorial.<br /><br />It depends on quite a few factors. First off, the relationship of the teacher to the students-- it a teacher is friends with the students, they're less likely to work. If the teacher is in too good a mood, the students are less likely to listen to them and will get up. AND of course the personality of the sim.<br /><br />I only put the classwork books in my high school, and the only student I didn't have trouble with was Ily who worked and worked until I told her she could stop, lol. Little over achiever! But she's ultra serious, and had no relationship with Sam, the teacher.<br /><br />I found out from Ily that the books never end. Students can actually get, like, extra credit or something. Ily got to 103% complete before I gave her the okay to move on.<br /><br /><br />Ah, this makes me miss my TS2 schools!The Lunar Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300943457749354465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-38434733312869477422010-06-29T08:57:04.582+10:002010-06-29T08:57:04.582+10:00Astrid, ah, that's another interesting theory!...<b>Astrid</b>, ah, that's another interesting theory!

If teacher's fun is red = bad mood, then the students know that they better behave.<br /><br />AstridAstridnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-80427734188024915052010-06-26T09:14:33.856+10:002010-06-26T09:14:33.856+10:00Sari, I don't think so either! I think Declan ...<b>Sari</b>, I don't think so either! I think Declan is one of the cutest kids I've ever had in my game.<br /><br />I'm glad it's not just me with those grade work booklets. That's why I hardly ever use them! Making them skill is more useful anyway.<br /><br /><b>Shana</b>, I can't wait to see how Declan turns out as he gets older but at the same time, I think I'll miss him as a child. He's so damn adorable!<br /><br />You're more patient than I am! I just make them do it long enough for me to get some good pictures and then give up!<br /><br />And you're welcome.<br /><br /><b>Danielle</b>, I'm pretty short on kids' active wear myself, honestly. Creators don't seem very interested in filling this enormous gap, for some reason.<br /><br />Yeah, I guess it'll be about 10 years before we see Xavier and Lauren as teens. I don't think they're even friends yet, so their relationship has a way to go!<br /><br />I'd never seen my Sims choose the child painting option autonomously but one of the Gentry boys did it at lunch time during this session. So they can choose it but for some reason, they often don't. <br /><br /><b>Mizzgin03</b>, a few too many kids, I think! I keep checking my enrollment list to see if I'm getting any relief soon. Answer: no. No, I am not. ;)<br /><br /><b>Tanja</b>, I mostly ignore the kids I'm not focusing on, which lets me hold on to the last shreds of my sanity. ;)<br /><br />Yes, you see, I can cope with the good witch but the evil witch brings roaches and rain. I do not want roaches and rain. <br /><br /><b>Tessa</b>, oh, crazy! I don't think the "help with work" option ever does anything in my game. It seems to just fall out of queue.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-73237393067820906012010-06-26T07:50:48.441+10:002010-06-26T07:50:48.441+10:00Oh, haha, I just remembered that, thanks!

I've gotten students to finish it before, it just takes a couple of hours, in which the teacher has to "help with work" a little for each student... after that, they get about 200% done and such, it's insane!Tessahttp://ts8v2ardania.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-70420778792955858772010-06-26T05:54:34.706+10:002010-06-26T05:54:34.706+10:00So many kids!

I know I'm seriously lacking in active wear for kids. I see Declan is all business when it comes to school. He's such a cutie pie, but so is everyone else. And so cute that Xavier is taken with Lauren. It seems like so long to wait until any romancing will be happening with them. But maybe that's a good thing as some sims go a little nuts LOL.<br /><br />I have those easels and I forgot they had that option for the kids paintings. I'll have to remember that. The few sim kids I have paint autonomously and they don't choose the kids painting, I don't think.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006019503835147657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-22141116558304610422010-06-25T23:30:04.396+10:002010-06-25T23:30:04.396+10:00Declan is so adorable!

They always get up and wander around the room until Zane puts them back to work. I just torture them into working until the classtime is over and don't worry about whether they ever finish anymore. <br /><br />Thanks for the link to that easel! I was getting tired of all my kids painting the exact same picture during art class because their skills were too low to paint anything else.Shanahttp://pinehollow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-40559769320739777472010-06-25T16:36:34.930+10:002010-06-25T16:36:34.930+10:00Could Declan be any cuter?!

Maisie, they a...Thanks for your comments everyone!<br /><br /><b>Maisie</b>, they are a pretty cute bunch, aren't they?<br /><br />The easel is by AnoeskaB at TSR. You can get it <a href="http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/AnoeskaB/downloads/details/category/sims2-sets-objects/title/maxis-more-functional--painting-easels-superset/id/755957/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Children have a special option to paint child paintings. Timothy and Emma's are both child paintings but I'm not positive about Eddie's - that might be a more advanced child painting, as I've never seen my adults paint it. <br /><br />Veronica and Adelaide are sourpusses in general. Finn just got rid of Elspeth and then he gets these two charmers in his class!<br /><br /><b>Tessa</b>, Declan is very much like Finn, in looks and apparently personality too!<br /><br />I shall be watching Xavier and Lauren very closely now. ;)<br /><br />You know that you can add your own images into the Paintings folder for more variety, right? They can't paint the extra ones until they have enough creativity for the Custom... option but it's fun to have a bunch of different ones in there. <br /><br /><b>Apple Valley</b>, glad you liked it! <br /><br />I <i>thought</i> Declan's gym wear was by yagami-sama at TSR (link is in the child CC clothing post) but I'm looking through her stuff now and I can't see it any more. :\Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-88505380583728246942010-06-25T11:33:13.832+10:002010-06-25T11:33:13.832+10:00Aww, I loved this update.

Declan was way too cute studying in his chair. <br /><br />The stick figures to the firefly jar was great! haha, where did you get that download that kids paint appropriate pictures? After that, I think I want to download it. <br /><br />Veronica and Adelaide were definitely wearing some sour faces about schoolwork, and I LOVED the basketball shots! A few more inches, they should have better luck with that.maisiehttp://www.retromaisie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
