Boarding Schools Skill, Career, & Trait Additions (Update 1/7/25) - Madam Doofie's Higher Boarding School Costs
Boarding School Skills, Careers, & Trait Additions Cover Photo.png - width=900 height=586
The boarding school feature from The Sims 3: Generations wasn't updated to include any new skills, careers, or traits from subsequent expansion packs, so I originally made this mod to fix that. Then I realized that there were also some base game traits and careers missing, as well as most of the hidden skills, so I added those too!
This is a tuning mod that can be placed in your Overrides folder.
