Heritage Collegiate Institute

As I adore the architecture of heritage/historical buildings, I decided to try my hand with this one. It has meaning for me as my youngest attended this school a few years ago. And no, I'm not that old!! LOL This is a re-creation of the real world school.



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

2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
2. Select the .sims3pack file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
5. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Select the house icon, find the lot in the list, and tick the box next to it. Then press the Install button below the list.
6. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the lot to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
7. Run the game, and find your lot in Edit Town, in the premade lots bin.

Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
