You might have noticed in other articles that I like to torture my Sims, so when someone informed me of a mod for The Sims 4 that allows you to take things one step further, I had to try it.
You can find those kinds of mods for the Sims 3 (including a full on fire arms system)but not so much for the Sims 4. There is a Deadly Joy Buzzer mod and a Death Ray mod,though. The Education Career Mod. One of the best features from The Sims 3 that many of us have been missing in The Sims4 is the teacher career track. From Mod The Sims came up with The Education Career Mod that makes the education career possible in The Sims 4. You can turn off tragedies for individual sims from the mod's options menu; Your sims will be able to talk about the recent tragedy occurrences like a recent burglary or a kidnapping; You can set the tragedy occurrence speed from the mod's option! OFF Very Slow - Slow - Normal - Fast - Very Fast Thanks to TwistedMexi for the script to make this. The Sims 4 has added toddlers to its crazy mix, and creators have stepped in to make the experience even better. Here's Sims 4 toddler mods. I think the person who made that mod used to go by the name ColonolNutty. I learned about him back when F95Zone had free sims 4 CC. Apprently he used to go by Sux McNutty on Sexysims (an off shoot of modthesims) but they banned him because of his child r.pe mods.
Warning: Sensitive content ahead.
Upon first look at the Extreme Violence mod, my eyes lit up. I was in heaven! A mod where I could murder other Sims, as I had been talking about how great it would be to be able to murder in the game. It adds a specific challenge, especially if you turn on autonomous killing. I was shocked to find that after my Sim killed three people in a row autonomously (on her own without me telling her to), the Grim Reaper had had enough and was beating her up.
You can have your Sim do deadly interactions, or they can do non-deadly interactions where their victim has a chance of surviving. There are a few different options for killing Sims. You can shoot Sims, stab them in the gut, or stab them in the chest. Some interactions, such as the stabbing, will leave your Sim bloody and needing to be cleaned up, while others, such as ranged shooting, will not leave your Sim bloody but will leave a pool of blood on the floor.
One downside of using this mod is that other Sims will run away from your Sim and be scared when they see your Sim brutally murder another. The interactions are graphic, as they do involve blood and gore; they leave a hole in the stomach or chest where you stabbing occurred. There are deadly interactions with a chance for survival, though either way, you might want to be careful when turning on autonomous killing, since your Sim may kill off their own family members. Children won’t kill autonomously until they are teens, although they can kill if you tell them to. Children also can’t be killed.
Sim beating up another Sim
In my personal opinion, the “choke to death” option just really is not as funny as the others. I do not think death is funny overall, but this is a video game where it’s my world to control. Messing with these mods tends to make me laugh, and they can be very therapeutic after a hard day.
There are so many other choices; if you don’t really want to kill a Sim, you can use the non-deadly interactions I mentioned earlier. These actions allow you to beat up a Sim without a chance of killing them (the “bully” option is a deadly interaction with a chance of survival). Hacking a Sim’s info allows you to find out traits about that Sim, so it’s easy to learn anything you want. I’m not sure if anything else, like Simoleons, can be acquired this way, but it definitely gives you an advantage.
If you find yourself always using “motherlode” or “kaching” cheats to give your Sim money, this mod might give you a different and interesting way of acquiring money: you can steal Simoleons from other Sims. There are plenty of options to choose from with the mod, including draining all blood, although I’m not sure what this does. My best guess is that it would allow a vampire to kill by draining all their blood, or something along those lines.
With the Extreme Violence mod, Sims can have a reputation. The Sim reputation will determine how another Sim reacts to them and how they behave in their presence. You can sabotage a reputation by accusing a Sim of being a public offender, a murderer, or just being violent. Even if none of the above is true, you can still make up these rumors to make sure that this other Sim is feared for whatever reason. Sometimes Sims will not believe you, so it’s a chance you’ll just have to take.
Attempting to sabotage another sims reputation
There are plenty of self-interactions, too, such as taking different kinds of selfies. One of my favorite selfie interactions has the Sim flipping the middle finger. They can take selfies with a gun or a knife as well, though it appears that there is a glitch that makes the gun stay in the Sim’s hand for a while. You can use this mod to make it easier to call over your partners in crime, a feature from the base game’s “mischievous” options. The Extreme Violence mod will allow you to do more devious things with your partners in crime. The mod has many other features that it would be too much for one article.
As fun as this mod is for me, I’d like to know: would you use this mod? What are your thoughts? Let us know! Join us on Discord, on our Facebook page, or Twitter. Don’t forget to download the mod here if you are interested, but be warned about the violence and how graphic the mod can get.
I sometimes think the other age groups in TS4 don’t get as much love as Young Adults (and Adults) do.
Young Adults/Adults get to experience EA’s worlds to the fullest. Whereas other age groups get stuck behind with limited interactions.
So any mod that gives Toddlers, Children, Teens, and Elders a chance to shine is an automatic win in my book.
Thankfully, most of these school mods do exactly that: especially for Toddlers to Teens. Check out these incredible (and incredibly fun) school mods to actually make learning fun again.
1. Drop Out of High School and Get a Real Job Mod by Telford
Let’s start with Telford’s impressive (and hefty) mod that allows Teen Sims to drop out of high school and get a job.
That means they won’t come home with homework to do, they won’t have to raise skills to certain levels, and they won’t have to maintain grades.
They will, essentially, be working like Young Adults and Adults.
Already this mod makes the game so much more realistic in the playability/events sense.
This closes off some interactions for them, but it definitely opens up more in terms of a career.
It’s a great concept that’s executed beautifully in this multi-part download – of which there are, essentially, three major aspects:
- Let your Teen drop out of school without facing consequences (i.e., getting whisked away by Child Services)
- Make Adult Jobs and Careers available for Teens
- Make Adult Job and Career Outfits available for Teens
Like I said, hefty. But definitely worth it.
Quick Note: You should ideally just need to download and install the files available. But be sure you read the creator’s notes on the download page thoroughly so you can fully enjoy the mod!
2. The Sims 4 Go to School Mod Pack V4 by Zerbu
The Sims 4 Get to Work expansion pack gives us three new and unique career options.
And instead of sending our Sims down the ever-famous rabbit hole, it allows us to follow our Sims around and control the flow of their workday.
We’re given a taskbar, a list of possible tasks to complete, and even a couple recurring NPCs to chat up when things get too repetitive.
This intuitive mod by Zerbu pretty much follows the same theme.
Instead of your Child and Teen Sims disappearing down God-knows-where from 7AM to 3PM (Pacific Sim Time, maybe?) you now get to follow them to their location of learning!
It’s a simple idea that got translated into a fully functional mod with tons of cool features.
Lemme list a few:
- Five Custom Subjects: Personal Development, Problem Solving, Creative Arts, Health and Fitness, Science and Technology
- Attend a different subject every day
- Redeem Reward Traits by earning Emblems; earn Emblems by applying for Special Opportunities (unlockable aspirations) from the Principal
- Surprise Guest Speakers (NPCs) from either the Doctor, Detective, or Scientist Careers
Note: The Sims 4 Get to Work expansion pack is required for this mod.
3. Elementary School by sim4fun
Created specifically for the previous mod (Zerbu’s “Go To School”), this mod adds a fully built and fully furnished Elementary School for your little kiddos to run around in!
This Community Lot boasts two beautifully-designed floors with all the rooms you can imagine you’d find in a regular school.
I’m talking an Arts n’ Crafts room, a supervised computer room, public Restrooms, and a nice safe napping area for tuckered out little tykes.
Best part? Everything in the lot is interactive and made of vanilla base game items. So you don’t need to download new CC just to make this school look like it does in the pics.
Hey, since you’re going to be following your child Sim around with the Go To School mod, you might as well follow them to pretty places, right?
4. No Grade or Highschool From the Start Mod by azoresman
Sims 4 Puberty Mod
The premise for this mod is pretty much the same as Telford’s “Drop Out of High School” mod.
The biggest differences are (1) it also gives Children the option to stay out of school, and (2) it leaves Children and Teen Sims alone from the get-go.
They won’t be enrolled in school once they age up just to later drop out, and they won’t be pressured to start a job or a career.
They can basically hang around the house as they please – with no fear of repercussion or penalty –until their birthday.
Or until you actually want them to get an education…
Should that happen, all you need to do is use the cheats careers.promote gradeschool or careers.promote highschool to put them back on the list of the learned.
It’s a very simple & very straightforward addition that’s easy to use and light on the Mods folder (something I’m sure many of us can appreciate).
5. Child and Teen Can Quit or Rejoin School by Triplis
This is the last mod with this concept, I promise.
Telford’s Drop Out of High School mod was aimed specifically at Teens and Careers for Teens, adding additional interactions and unlockables.
Azoresman’s No Grade or Highschool mod allowed Children and Teens to drop out of school, but didn’t include options for Teens to get a job.
Essentially the really hefty, extensive get-out-of-school mod and the simple, straightforward get-out-of-school mod.
Now this mod by Triplis, I feel, is a solid middle ground.
It disables the auto-enroll feature by default. Which means your Toddler or Child will not automatically enroll in school once they age up. You have to manually do it.
And unlike azoresman’s mod, you don’t need to use a cheat – just the Sim’s phone.
This mod (with a lengthy name) has a couple built-in failsafes and two variations, too. So it’s not as extensive as Telford’s, but it’s not as straightforward or barebones as azoresman’s either.
Whichever of the three you download is definitely a matter of preference and little else. They’re all great.
6. Early Exit From School by Diffevair
I personally love the concept of this mod, no matter how simple it seems. And the creator definitely delivered.
The premise is that the actual time your kid Sims get to leave school is based on their grades. Kinda like real life.
The default time that all school children come home to is 3PM. With this mod, B to D students get to go home at 2PM (maybe to allow for studying and/or homework). A students get to come home at 1PM (for exemplary performance, probably).
And F students don’t come home until 4PM.
Detention? Extra credit? Extra lessons?
Point is, this provides an avenue for you to spin a pretty neat narrative regarding your kid Sim’s education, which I think is pretty cool.
It also lets your Sims spend more time outside the School Rabbit Hole.
7. Cheat Teen HighSchool Performance and Homework by azoresman
I believe the mod’s name is pretty self-explanatory. But let me break it down, anyway.
This was created to address the issue of there just being not enough time for Teens. Between going to school and satisfying their needs, there’s very little time left for them to finish their homework, work on Skills, and complete Extra Credit projects.
If you’ve ever played the 100 Baby Challenge – or at least played a full Sim house – you know this to be Gospel truth.
This mod introduces a new cheat to the game that allows you to max your Teen Sim’s school performance without having to turn in homework or level up Skills.
Simply enable cheats (by typing testingcheats true into the command bar) and then click on the Teen (while holding down the Shift key).
This should bring up the cheats menu. You’ll see an extra interaction menu titled Cheat Sim Info. Under that, there’s an option to Max School Performance.
Click on that option and, boom. All requirements completed and performance meter maxed.
Talk about your Easy A.
8. Playable School Events by Stacie
Just like Zerbu’s Go to School Mod, Stacie’s Playable School Events is a pretty exciting mod that allows you to join your Child and Teen Sims as they navigate Elementary and High School.
But instead of a mod that rewrites the whole educational system, this introduces a new Event that your parent Sim can plan.
All you need to do is put down a school lot on a Library, Chalet Gardens, Park, or Generic Lot (might we recommend sim4fun’s Elementary School mod?) and start the Event their via phone or calendar.
Make sure this is done before 8:00AM!
Choose the student(s) you’d like to invite, and start the event.
Your school will have to have a kitchen if you want the staff to cook, and a microphone if you want the teachers to teach. Yes, you can actually have a school cafeteria for your Student Sims to grab some lunch!
Let me quickly list some of the cool new additions this mod gives us.
- Build Skills (while attending school)
- Chance for Promotion to Higher Grade (by hitting Event goaled)
- Tiered Rewards for Goaled Events
And you don’t even need an expansion pack or game pack for this! Playable School Event works completely fine with just the Sims 4 Base Game.
9. Education System Bundle by Stacie
Aside from making school a playable event, that same creator made an “Education System Bundle Mod” that basically adds a whole bunch of beneficial goodies to TS4’s current education system.
This doesn’t need to be used in conjunction with her Playable School Events mod, by the way.
This can be installed and used by itself. Options galore!
The mod is actually a bunch of her other education-related mods all bundled together. One mod allows Children and Teen Sims to actually build Skills while they’re at school and while doing homework.
Another mod opens up Preschool for overachieving Toddler Sims who just want to learn.
And a different mod even adds an Online Schooling option to the game! Just plop your Sim in front of a laptop or computer. A new interaction that reads Attend School Online should pop up.
Full details of what this mod does (and possible requirements you’ll need to prepare your game for) it can be found in the creator’s extensive download description. Be sure to read it carefully to optimize the experience!
10. Simston Private School Mod by SHEnanigans
Now this mod adds a new education system, and a new social event that may bring back fond memories for people who played The Sims 2.
Impress the Simston Private School Headmaster and get your kid enrolled in an exclusive Private School!
(Very reminiscent of Headmaster Visits from TS2 SimCity Academy, only there’s a Chess Game in place of a House Tour).
Kick things off by going to your Sim’s phone and selecting Schedule Headmaster Visit (§500). You’ll get a message telling you that the Simston Private School Headmaster is coming to your place for dinner.
The event begins once the Headmaster enters your home. You need to impress them via successful social interactions, lots of boasting, and a game of chess.
Succeed, and your child could be Simston’s newest addition – for the low fee of §1000 Simoleons.
Do note that scheduling the Headmaster visits also deducts §500 from your household funds, and canceling the event won’t refund it. Pretty pricey in-game, but hey. The experience is fun and definitely worth it.
11. Teens Jump to University by Zero
Moving on to higher education, you’ve got this nifty little mod by Zero that gives Teen Sims the opportunity to skip High School and jump straight to University.
It’s realistic in the sense that the chances of being offered the jump aren’t very high to begin with (because Universities have standards, okay?)
Having the Genius trait tips the odds in your Teen’s favor.
A lousy school performance, on the other hand, pretty much kills their chances.
The whole jumping process is pretty true-to-life. You’ll get a random prompt informing you that your Teen can quit high school and enroll in University thanks to “excellent results.”
Once your Sim chooses the Quit High School option (although there is the option to Continue High School if this particular Sim isn’t the one you wanted to advance), an Application Letter is immediately sent out for your Teen.
If accepted, the Teen then has the option to enroll in University following the Discover University enrollment process.
But if you’re looking for something a little more straightforward…
12. Genius Teens Can Apply & Enroll To University Anytime by ilkaSimming
This mod does exactly what the previous mod (by Zero) does. It basically lets your Teen Sim skip High School and jumpstart their University life early.
The two biggest differences:
- Only Teen Sims with the Genius trait have the option to enroll (or are an A student, depending on the version you download)
- Teen Sims with the Genius trait can apply whenever they want (no waiting for auto-generated prompts)
The creator also keeps things pretty organic with this mod.
Instead of cheating your Teen’s promotion, you make them go through an official process should they choose to quit High School.
The mod has two versions, but you can only install one.
The original version allows only Genius Teens to enroll. The alternate version allows Genius Teens and Teens that achieved an A in High School to enroll.
The first is a little more selective, the second rewards hard work.
Note: unlike Zero’s mod, this mod doesn’t have a built-in option to quit school. The creator actually recommends installing Triplis’ “Child and Teen can Quit or Rejoin School” mod to remove the risk of penalties!
13. University – The Sheldon L Cooper Program by Zero
Combine this mod with Zero’s “Teens Jump to University” mod for an even more realistic and exciting enrollment experience!
The Sheldon L Cooper Program Mod basically adds another scholarship program to the game (for Teenagers).
There are 3 all in all (from Buckingham High):
- Sheldon L Cooper Merit for Young Geniuses – valued at $15,000, covers the full cost of University, only available for Teens with the Genius trait
- Sheldon L Cooper Merit for Young Promises – valued at $5,000, only available for High School A Teens
- Sheldon L Cooper Program for All Students – special scholarship that adds an extra set of “special classes”
If your Teen is neither a Genius nor a High School A student, they can still apply for the program. As mentioned, this will enroll them in special classes (basically Night Classes) that they must attend to win the scholarship. They’re also given extra homework on top of the Teen’s regular homework that needs to be completed, and additional requirements that are honestly pretty freaking difficult.
It’s all very catered towards crafting a story of this bright, ambitious, overachieving teen that desperately wants to get into their Dream University, and I am here for it!
If you do combine this mod with the same creator’s Teens Jump mod, the school will take care of the Teen’s application for both Merit Scholarship ($15,000 for Genius Teens, $5,000 for Grade School A students) options.
14. No University Housing Restrictions by Zerbu
Now I can’t speak for everyone’s dorm experience. But I, for one, was given access to a stove when I lived in the University Dorms.
How else could I have learned how to burn water?
Which is why I found it pretty frustrating when my University Sims couldn’t cook on Housing premises.
Enter Zerbu, again. This Master Mod Creator has made a simple little TS4 mod that obliterates the University Housing Restrictions that prevent us from placing any sort of electrical cooking implement within a five-mile radius of University Housing.
So your College Sim can practice burning Mac n’ Cheese to their heart’s content.
15. Required Degree for Careers by Zero
Wrapping up this list with yet another cool mod from Zero.
The Sims 4 Bully Mod
As the name suggests, installing this will make it so your Sim cannot become a Doctor, Scientist, Detective, Astronaut, or even Style Influencer without the appropriate University Degree.
Realistic, no?
Realistic, yes. And I love it. Absolutely love it.
Sims 4 Bully Mod
Sure, it sort of forces you to play through the entire Discover University pack.
But for the sake of narrative, experience, and realistic gameplay? This is an A+ mod that deserves all the love in the world.
For a full list of all the Jobs & Careers that require a Degree (and the corresponding degree, of course) scroll to the end of the creator’s download notes.
