AwesomeSpec v5: House Building In ZOMGPETZ!!!111oneoneone
J. M. Pescado:
So, here's the diagram for AwesomeSpec v5: What the general topology of the house should conform to in order to be considered properly awesome.
Areas not drawn to shape, size, or scale. Positions are entirely relative except where noted. Areas may be combined if function is not impeded or duplicated for redundancy during actual implementation.
Note the following:
1. The distance between the vehicle depot (you may or may not have an actual garage) / the schoolbus unload area (mailbox) and The One Desk should be kept short.
2. The One Desk should be located near sim parking areas, so that returning larvae will be able to locate instructors in close proximity.
3. Visitors should be confined to the main deck so that their movements may be observed at all times. They should be physically prevented from reaching areas where their activities can be disruptive, consume resources, difficult to interrupt, damaging to themselves or other sims, or not easily observed.
4. At least one bathroom should ideally be near the larva facilities, and one, preferrably more, should be visitor-usable.
5. A minimum front perimeter fence running from the very left of the lot to the very right of the lot should be maintained. It should not be broken except by lockable gates, or by merging into walls or impassable foundations. Areas of the lot that cannot be included inside the perimeter fence should either be paved over or disrupted by the placement of driveways, yard objects or fence edging such that no contiguous 2x2 areas remain. Flowerbeds must not be outside the perimeter.

Great info but there's one thing I'm not clear on....what does "The One Desk" mean. Does it mean there should be only one desk? Does it mean it is the closest desk that the sim will choose? Or is it....something far more awesome than I can comprehend?

The One Desk is the desk that every single sim in the family will choose as the homework dropoff beacon, regardless of whether that desk, or any desk, is actually available for doing homework on (it doesn't matter where sims do homework, the rate doesn't change). Ideally, it should be the only desk, or all desks should be there, to minimize confusion. Otherwise there's a chance that a new desk placed inherits the lowest instance number and becomes The One Desk.
OpiumGirl:
Ah, okay, that makes sense....
No wonder why my sims were obsessed with taking a long walk three stories up whilst ignoring a perfectly good desk set next to the kitchen door...sometimes the way the sims decide certain routes to things is just pure evil.
Thanks for clarifying.
Database:
My (half-done) adaptation of the AwesomeSpec. Only have a picture of the base area for now. Also, I only have Basegame and Uni installed right now, hence no garage.
