There are two custom objects that must be placed: the podium, and the NPC stickers. Obviously, teachers will spawn at the podium. The Principal and Counsellor will spawn near the NPC sticker and use any object within a 5-tile radius. Generally, there should be a computer in this area. Note: the default swatch is for the principal, and the LIama is for the counsellor. I’ll make this clearer in the full mod.
I strongly recommended that you place objects close to each other. Otherwise, completing goals may become annoying. Generally, you should place all objects on the same floor with the possible exception of the Observatory and Pool (and even then, these objects should still be as quick to access as possible).
The school has a Caterer NPC and a “Call to Meal/Eat Food” goal, so you should include cooking equipment and seating.
You should also include a vending machine as backup in case something goes wrong and the Caterer isn’t able to finish cooking.
Only include one podium in the school! Having more than one will not spawn more teachers, but will cause classmates to go to random podiums.
Although the list below contains all the required objects needed for school venues, I could end up adding more optional objects before release (either for goals or side features). Therefore, it might not be a bad idea to hold off uploading your lot to the gallery, although it’s your choice.
In either case, you should leave room for the lot to be expanded in case new optional objects are added in the future.
Tip: To make your school feel as immersive as possible, include as many objects as you can in the main classroom. This will give the impression that the teacher is more active in teaching the students.
