The history of this building: It was constructed as a high school between 1906/1907. It functioned in this capacity until 1974 when it was converted to an elementary school. It is still in use today which made it all the more interesting for me. The architecture is a Georgian/Italianate style which is fun to capture in the game!

The game build includes classrooms for different grades, a music class, art class, science lab, kindergarten class, main office, cafeteria, library, playground, soccer pitch, and of course the all-important underground rabbithole.

This school was built for storytelling appeal as well as being game functional. It also replaced the horrid school in Appaloosa Plains!
It has been fully play tested but if you find something I missed, please comment and let me know

About Me
My favourite builds are worn out, rat infested hovels but I also enjoy the challenge of creating lots that represent buildings in the real world.
All of my lots were created on an iMac, but after getting the new M1 iMac, I've learned some of those lots have graphics issues, so I'm slowly altering them to avoid this issue. I will upload the M1 compatible files when they are completed.
All new builds are completed in Version 1.70 (64-bit Mac). They are also tested on a Windows computer.
