The school will likely be too expensive for your adult Sim to afford with just $20k so bring up the cheat menu on the world screen with CTRL+SHIFT+C and type “freerealestate on” before you have your Sim purchase and move into the building.

Someone has to educate all those children, after all! You can make a Sim yourself in CAS, download one from the Gallery, or just grab a random townie and stick ’em in the boarding school, whatever floats your boat. Now that you have the building ready, it needs at least one adult Sim living in it.It’s a good idea to add things that a school would have, too, like a classroom and library. Since lots of children will be living there, you may want to add toys for them to play with.

Your boarding school can be as simple or as fancy as you want but it should have 8 beds and at least the basic necessities Sims need to live (toilet, shower, fridge, etc). If you don’t want to bother with building, download one from the Gallery. Pick any lot in any world you want and build one.
