Before posting first time, please read: Forum and Commenting Guidelines - Nexus Mods Site Help You may be banned from this mod if not complying. I don't like to give away work that I don't get paid for to unfriendly people. (Do not want to use the A...holes word in this context :-) )
Also please look in the description if you can not find the answer there. I repost the answers to the most common questions here:
- You can not assign students to class 2 directly. All students not assigned to class 1, class 3 or class 4 go to class 2. - Played sims always go to class 1. No matter which class they are assigned else. (EA design decision.)
- If the menu does not apear on the mail box and the "Ara_HighSchool.ts4script" is not apearing in the mod scripts list, shorten the path name wether by moving the "Ara_HighSchool.ts4script" down to the mods folder or by renaming it to "Core.ts4script". Or whatever you can do to shorten the pathname of the mod files. Sims 4 has a problem with long file path names.
- if sims do not appear in the sim pickers: For me this happens when I add a sim from the library that was not in the game before. Seems to be a vanilla issue I can not do anything against. It helped to delete the localthumbs.cache and give The Sims 4 time (or several reloads) to get known of the new added sim. Try to meet with your played sim the teens placed down from the gallery (introduce themselves to them). After that they will show up on the sim picker. If anyone knows what can be done about this in a better way, please tell us.
Please, I see so many false positives in the posts below and as my lifetime is restricted and can not be replaced .... :-). There is a simple, besides a bit time consuming method to verify if this mod causes trouble or not: Do a save 10 sim minutes before you go to the school lot (school event starts). Move all your mods besides this into a directory on your desktop. (I named it "disabledSimsMods") If it works as intended after reload, you know that some other mod is causing the trouble. You can find the causing mod by slowly re-adding them via the 50:50 method. If you find an incompatible mod, please let me know. Perhaps I can create a compatibility patch then. At least I can add it to the incompatible mods list to save others from wasting their time by searching for it.
I figured out the problem with getting Class 2 to populate, however, Class 3 is still not actually going to class. The teacher is there and everyone in class is there, but they're not going to the room with the third board. The Class 2 teacher is also no spawning, but I'm still working on that.
Hi!! So this isn't working for me, like when I click on the mailbox--it doesn't show up. Before you say anything I did do what the pinned message by Aramiteus said. I also do have Basemental Drvgs but not the patreon version. This mod looks so kool and I'd really like to use it please help me out </3
Hello, you can put it in a subfolder, but be aware that the name should be short. It is a sims or windows problem that if your path names become too long they are not recognised anymore. For example I have installed it in D:\Users\Master\Documents\Electronic Arts\Die Sims 4\Mods\Aramiteus_MoreStudents Master is my user name, what is quite short. If you have the user name: "Holy emperor of the world and the universe and beyond", you'll have a problem. :-) Then you should save some letters at Aramiteus_MoreStudents.
hi! I have problem and I don't know if it's the mod itself because a couple of months ago everything worked fine.
The moment I try to send my big family to school (5 people) they come, but only the sim I was selecting get the high school tasks, and even then my sims kinda dont like going to school, they just hang out. And at the end of the clases, that sim can go home but the others don't, and I need to force them to come home because they get stuck eternally on the "at school" legend when I try to click them
I´ve tried with another gameplay completly with other sims and had the same issue And I don't have many mods, other than mcc, a couple of sliders and present bodies, but I do have a bit of clothes
I'm sorry to bother, but the mod is great aside from one thing-- there's one student that no matter how many times I try to add him, he doesn't show up at school. Like I pick him in the student picker, he shows as being a part of the "student population", but he doesn't appear at school. Could you help me figure this out? I had the same issue with Rex's mod which had the same issue. He was an adult I aged-down to a teen, if that's helpful to know. I looked for hidden traits like "dropout" or "graduate" through cheats and tried just preemptively removing said hidden traits with cheats, but alas, still no dice with that sim. Help? :( I otherwise love your mod! <3
Anyone else have a problem where the teens they want to add aren't showing up in the menu when they click on the mailbox? Like I can click add but it doesn't show all the teen sims especially the ones I made and want to add.

That has nothing at all to do with what they are saying is the problem. They did not say that the option to add is not there; they said that the specific sims they wish to add are not available to select. This is, however, still addressed in the sticky message.

hey what does it mean to meet sims 'placed down from the gallery'? srry i dont understand do I have to find the sims on the gallery? if so how do I do that?
I believe it means that if you place teen sims from the gallery into your game have your played sims actually meet them (get them listed as an acquaintance) before trying to pull them into the High School roster.
Recommend to read at least the frist sections of the description. It is stated there.
I write this at the top before the mod description as I think it is important: EA has good reasons for having the 20 sims on lot limit. If you go beyond that your computer has of course more to compute, so increase the number of classmates reasonable. (For my computer 40 sims on lot is ok, but 50 is starting to lagging and the cooling fan is running all the time). Maximum sims in Zone for high school lots is set to 100. So in theory you can have about maybe a bit more than 80 students. (Rough formula for calculation: Number of students + 4 teachers + 4 cafeteria + 1 principal + 1 janitor + 2 firefighters + number of teens in your played household + maybe the Reaper => number of students + 20 should be sufficient)
If this is TLDR, there is a really good tutorial video from KimbaSprite linked at the videos tab.
Increasing number of Class Mates: You have to choose your classmates, else none will show up at school. (You can go alone to school if you want.)
Click on the mail box of your lot, select "High School Students ..." ( see the first screenshot of the mailbox) When you do this the first time you will only see "add ..." and "Faculty ..." in the menu. Add students via "add ..."and the Sim Picker that opens. (Up to 40 at a time, but if you want more simply reopen it a second time) Then again select "High School Students ...". You should see now the "Classes ..." menu. In there "Class 1 ...", "Class 3 ...", "Class 4 ...". Add students via "add ..." to them. Via this you can split your class mates into four classes. Class 1, Class 3 and Class 4. The others will go to Class 2. (You can build a mailbox on the school lot if you want to reassign your classmates in the breaks for the next lesson.)
I added all teachers and other workers that i need, but no went, besides janitor, that was choosen by game, and only one teacher, bt she just was staying. Workers of cafeteria also didn't come. What's wrong?
See description FAQ: - If not all choosen classmates, teachers, caterers appear: Check if they are still assigned as Class Mates, are still teens, do still have the High School Career. Check also Keep Sims in Home Region by Kuttoe (itch.io)for update if installed and enable the "High School Toggle" of it. Seems like the "High School Toggle" of Keep Sims in Home Region by Kuttoe (itch.io) is not working for the teachers and caterers. Move them to regions that are allowed to travel to Copperdale or allow their home regions for Copperdale.. If you have MCCC installed disable teenage can quit Highschool: MC Careers -> Teenagers quit school. Set it to disable. (Had the case that teens, did not have the High School Career anymore) The students are called additionally to the initial call between (7)8 am and 9am. Nevertheless it may happen that not all are called in (For me, most times the last ones in the list if you push "remove" on the mail box menu.
Every time I try to use this mod, the High School tab in the pie menu doesn't appear. I tried searching for others with the same issue, but I couldn't find any.
It should apear on any mailbox. (see 3rd screenshot above) If it does not apear see above sticky post:
- If the menu does not apear on the mail box and the "Ara_HighSchool.ts4script" is not apearing in the mod scripts list, shorten the path name wether by moving the "Ara_HighSchool.ts4script" down to the mods folder or by renaming it to "Core.ts4script".

An other useful resource to save you and me time is to have a look at The Sims 4 | Forum | Bug Reports | EA Answers HQ. to prevent us to analyse vanilla bugs.
