Default Boarding School
So I was wondering if there was some type of mod that would allow my sims children and teens to go to a boarding school to where the would be gone all the time. Until its the day of their birthday.
I believe there is something similar in sims 3? Maybe.
I also know there is a mod similar on this site but I'm looking for something where they are always gone.
Thank you for any help.

Having played with that set for a good while, I just wanted to make you aware of a couple of things I noticed with the boarding school.

1. For some reason, the social bar of the children and teens at the boarding school drops to red and doesn't replenish, which triggers the social worker to arrive for the children practically the moment they get off the bus on Friday. I'd suggest having the Simblender on the lot just to fix that motive, unless you've got a "no social worker" hack installed.
2. Any child or teen with a birthday falling between Monday and Thursday will remain at "0 days til [age level]" until they return home. While this isn't a big deal if you're not bothered about keeping ages correct or are happy to fix them afterwards, it's a pain if you're trying to keep ages in sync with the non-boarding family members! I "fixed" this one by using the Prep School the week they were due to transition, and in the case of children aging to teens, I simply shifted them back to boarding school after their birthday.

No need to use my full name, "Selly" will do just fine.

Ah yes, I only ever have teens board and the SW doesn't come for them, although I also use the 'Realistic Social Worker' mod by Pesacado, so mine would not care about social anyway. The low social and low aspiration bars are an annoyance. I reset my kids when they get off the bus.
