In The Sims 2 , The Sims Stories , The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 , children and teens get homework on school days. Homework comes in the form of a school notebook, with differing covers depending on the student's life stage [ TS2 ] [ TS4 ] and the number of days that have passed. [ clarification needed ] [ TS2 ] Homework can be completed at a desk or on the floor, and will usually take a Sim hour to complete. Failing to complete homework generally results in bad grades. In The Sims 4: Discover University , students young adult and above are also given homework after each class.
In The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories , children and teens will have homework in their hands after they get off the school bus. If possible, they will put the assignment on or by a desk, and seem to prefer the first desk that was placed in the house, even if it is in an illogical or inaccessible location. [n 1] If a student has unfinished homework, he or she will put the new homework on top of it. The player can tell the student to put the homework down by canceling the "Go to School" icon. Homework can be moved in buy and build modes, though it cannot be sold. A child's homework will be brightly colored, while a teen's homework will be plainly colored.
Clicking on the homework gives the child or teen an option to complete it or ask an older Sim for help. An older household member, when the homework is clicked, can offer help with finishing the homework. A child or teen who is being helped with homework will finish it faster, and will gain the memory of being taught to study . This will fulfill the "Ask for Homework Help" want , and will allow them to do homework more quickly in the future. If Seasons is installed, students will do homework faster in the fall , or after drinking apple juice .
Sims can do homework while seated at a desk or sitting down on the ground. There does not appear to be any difference in completion speed depending on how the Sim is seated. If Apartment Life is installed, Sims cannot do homework that is placed in an apartment 's communal area.
Sims will not usually get distracted while doing homework, unless their motives are low. They are more likely to get distracted if they are being helped by an older Sim. It is usually best to ensure that both the student and the mentor are in a good mood prior to beginning the interaction, and that no other interactions are in their queue until the homework has been completed.
There is no time limit on completing homework, but doing (or not doing) homework will affect a student's grades. A student who goes to school in a good mood with all homework done will gain a better grade. Students will not be penalized for going to school with one piece of incomplete homework, but going to school with more than one piece of incomplete homework may cause their grades to drop. [n 2]
Sims may have a want to do homework. This want will be fulfilled when they complete a piece of homework. This want will be fulfilled even if the homework they complete belongs to another Sim.
Young adults in college do not receive homework, but can optionally do assignments in order to improve their class performance.
If a teen has unfinished homework when he or she is sent to college or becomes an adult , it will disappear.
Two child Sims completing their homework.
On school days, children and teens will come home with homework in their inventory . This is unlike The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories , where they would place the homework down. They can simply "Do Homework" on their own, "Do Homework With..." another friend of their age group, or "Get Help From" an older Sim on the lot. Sims can also do someone else's homework, or copy someone's homework if that person already did it, although this can cause after school detention. Sims may stop doing homework if they are hungry , tired, have the "Stressed" moodlet, or have a low bladder meter. Sims with bookworm and workaholic traits, as well as logic skill get homework done faster, and the library is a good place to study. The level of logic skill does not increase the rate of finishing homework; only one skill point in Logic is necessary. In Supernatural , vampires also do homework faster than normal Sims, and witches may magically finish it in a matter of seconds with a chance of being Singed . Homework is a hidden skill.
Students who skip homework or do not complete it on time will receive a bad mark in the Homework area of their school performance (This can be found in the 'School' section of the Simology panel) and may get detention. Students who complete their homework on time get a good mark in this section. However, homework can be finished while at school using the "Work on Late Homework" option. However, if the teacher catches them, they may get an after school detention. Good students grow up to be good adults, so it is important that young Sims maintain good grades. If a Sim has an A when they age up, the player will be able to choose his or her next trait. [n 3]
In Generations , children can bury their homework in the sandbox, but will receive a bad grade for doing so.
A teen doing homework in The Sims 4 .
Once Sims become a child or teen on-screen, they will automatically receive a homework book appropriate for their life stage in their inventory, whether or not they have attended school in the past. Children will have a yellow book labeled "Grade School Homework" while teens will receive a blue book simply labeled "Homework". When a student receives a B or above from school, they will be given the option "Do Extra Credit" if they have finished the homework by clicking again on their individual homework books. If a student receives a D or below they can "Do Make Up Work" which works functionally the same as "Do Extra Credit". Children have the ability to receive help from adults. Unlike previous games, children who neglect their homework still have a fair shot at keeping their school performance high by completing other tasks such as maintaining certain moods or building skills. If a player's Sim misplaces a homework book or ages up to a child or teen off-screen, they can purchase a new homework book for §1 from a bookcase, or simply use another Sim's homework book. Unlike previous games, a homework book is not tied to a particular Sim.
If all four of a child Sim's skills ( creativity , mental , motor , social ) are at least level 3, "Do Homework" changes to "Breeze Through Homework", meaning the Sim is already skilled and can complete the homework more quickly. With all four skills at level 7, this changes again to "Dominate Homework," and the homework can be completed even more quickly. This speed boost is not available to teen Sims.
Homework is given to young adult sims and older in The Sims 4: Discover University . Students must complete homework before every class to achieve high grades. Although failure to do so may impact a sim’s performance at university, homework is not essential. Sims that miss their homework can make up for it by studying extra hours, or edit their term papers to be outstanding quality. However to get the highest grades, it is recommended that university students finish homework before each class.
Like with school homework, a new university homework book can be purchased from any bookcase or university kiosk. Homework of any type can be completed 50% faster on lots with the “Study Spot” lot trait .
Raising kids: school, homework, and skills.
Raising Kids in the Sims 3 | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Generations Additions : The Sims 3 Generations expansion pack brings many new features to childhood. If you want to read all about the new content for kids in the EP, have a look at Children in Generations . If your child had one as a toddler, they could be developing their Imaginary Friend .
This Sims 3 Guide was originally written for the PC and Mac versions of the game, but also will help owners of the console versions - PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii. Please remember some info or numbers may have changed.
Done a Good Job Raising Them? If you've followed the parenting guide thus far, and used many of our tips to raising kids, your Sim's child should have been able to choose a trait. In addition, when your child first learns a skill, they will jump up a level immediately if they had training in that skill as a toddler. As such, they can view the skill journal. For example, after playing with the peg toybox for a couple skill levels in the toddler stage, learning the logic skill will immediately start them at level 3 logic once they've grown to a child. This gives your child a head start in school. An odd thing occured the first time my Sim's child slept. She learned the writing skill in her sleep and jumped to level 2.
The Childhood Life Stage The Sims 3's children are much more like adult Sims than Toddlers. They now have free will, and can learn to cook (but not actually perpare) meals, chat on the computer, learn almost any other skill, go to school, and make friends. You'll also be happy to notice that they can stay home alone. If they spend a bit more time studying, and have a little less fun than other Sim kids, they can shoot straight up any job's career path so long as they maintain this momentum into the teenage years. Here I'll help you with raising a child Sim that tries to excel in life.
Choosing a Child's Lifetime Wish Watch for lifetime wishes to appear in the wish panel occasionally. They don't pop up often. If you already have a general idea what you want your child's lifetime wish to be, start trying to develop an interest in that trade. For example, if your Sim wants to be a sports star, try to do some athletics (via Pool, Radio, or Television, a hidden skill until Teenager) to increase the odds that the lifetime wish will come up. Likewise for cooking , logic , fishing ,and so on.
Doing Homework Children should do their homework daily to boost school performance. If two kids are going to school at the same time, they may want to copy homework off of one another. Drag the homework to a table or other location, and the little cheater can copy the answers straight to their paper. The kid can get detention if caught, however.
Two Children can work together to get the homework done faster, and this doesn't count as cheating. At level 5 in logic, parents can tutor their child to help raise their school performance. Parents can also help kids with homework without fear of detention, as well. It sure beats getting caught cheating! To help, click the child's homework in their inventory. You'll then select which Sim will help them with the homework.
Give the Kid a Good Birthday! Make your Child's last birthday as a kid a special one. They're about to grow up into teenagers with more responsibilities and a wide open world.

Inspired by Naga's improved Sunset Valley, Jaga Telesin and MrsFlynn have released Sunset Valley 2020 at our forum. This uses fixes from EllaCharmed's Sunset Valley map and works to improve performance and reduce the amount of stuck Sims.

School Grades Homework Private School Guide Getting Into Private School Scoring Serve Good Food Give Tour Schmoozing Bonus Scoring Winning the Scenario Related Links Contributor Credits |
All sim children start out in public school, but can go to private school if they've got at least a C+. See Private School Guide for more information.
All sim children start out with a C. Doing homework and going to school every day brings the grades up. And every day they bring home a report card. There are consequences for bad grades. Teens with a C- or lower cannot get a job. A teen with an F will be fired and if a child gets an F it must be raised within one day or the social worker will take them away. Permanently.
Unless you use a hack sim children and teens bring home homework every day. Some sims will place it on the floor others will put it on just about any other available surface. HINT Pay attention to where they put it and then move it to their bedroom. Homework is very easily lost. It can disappear under rugs and/or sink into the surface of custom tables that are too tall. Sometimes they even leave it outside.
Parents, grand-parents, and teen siblings can help with homework. Make sure everyone is in a good mood first or the homework won't get done the first time around. It not only goes faster when someone helps they learn how to study. Once they've learned how to study all future homework gets done a little faster. To initiate the scenario click on the homework and select ask (insert sim name here)for homework help. The child sim will sit on the floor (or at a table) and open their homework while the older sim has a homework though bubble while helping. The sims progress in learning to study isn't itself observable; the progress bar refers to the homework completion, not the process of learning to study. If the older sim began helping at the start of the day's homework and stayed through to the end, the progress of the homework and learn to study will be the same Once the sim has learned to study a memory marks the achievement; look in the simology>memory panel to confirm this.
Sims begin school automatically enrolled in public school. They can, however, switch from public to private if desired. Private school doesn't cost any money and the rewards are significant, but the admissions process is pretty demanding.
Private is different from public school in that:
To get students into private school, families must do two things:
Any child or older Sim on the lot (with C or better grades) can summon the headmaster via the Invite Headmaster interaction on the telephone. If no one has sufficient grades, the headmaster will decline. If the call is made before 5pm, he/she will arrive at 5pm. If the call is made after that, the headmaster will come the next day.
When the headmaster arrives, he must be greeted within one hour (by 6pm) or he'll leave. Greeting him starts the scenario: you have 6 hours to impress him. Doing this requires three tasks:
Each of these three tasks earns points toward the winning score of 100 points. It may help to buy some objects for the headmaster scenario (hot tubs, art objects, etc) and then just return them before midnight for a full refund.
Good food is an important part of the meal, so it helps to have a Sim with high cooking skills. A meal should be prepared by a Sim with five cooking skills or higher. Of course the higher the cooking skill, the more points the meal will earn. Ruined meals will score badly no matter the cooking level so make sure you leave some time to start a meal over in the event of a mishap.
When the food is served, click on the headmaster, choose "Entertain" and select "Call for Dinner." This tells the headmaster to have a serving and will result in the final food score.
The Giving Tour part of the process is based on the Environment of every room shown on the tour (possibly including outside). Make sure the house is clean and do what you can to boost the Environment score in every room before the headmaster shows up.
Giving the tour:
With the outside, take the headmaster to a place where the score is high - near trees, statues, flowerbeds, outdoor lights, etc. Watch your own Sim's Environment score to help pick the right spot. Indoors, position your Sim near light fixtures before showing the room. (Having a Sim close to a light source will boost the Environment score).
If you've shown every room in the house (including the outside) without reaching 40 or more points, click on the headmaster and choose "End Tour." This closes the tour points scoring.
The family's ability to socially interact with the headmaster is reflected in the schmooze score. Every time any Sim raises the headmaster's daily relationship score, points are added. So chat it up and if he engages in a fun, group activity, get as many Sims as possible to join him. The more Sims he establishes a good daily relationship with, the better the schmooze score.
There are a few interactions that will bring extra scoring opportunities:
If any Sim in the household does any of these interactions, the headmaster should follow - as long as he's not already doing something else. Each bonus scores 10 extra points, but can only be scored once.
When you get up to 100 points (by whatever combination), the scenario ends and the headmaster informs you that the family has been accepted. Any student in the family with grades C or better will go to private school on the next school day.
If time runs out before the 100 points are earned, the headmaster will be somewhat snooty and inform the family that they don't make the cut. You can invite him back the next day and try again.

Table of Contents
In the Sims 3 there are a variety of different skills. Athletic, Charisma, Cooking, Fishing, Gardening, Guitar, Handiness, Logic, Painting and Writing. Sims can learn new skills in The Sims 3 by taking a class, buying skill related books from the local bookstore in town, going to the library, using buyable objects; such as exercise equipment or on the computer, and learning from other Sims. Some skills can be used as part-time jobs, like writing novels and gardening. If a Sim is in a good mood they will build skills faster than if they are in a bad mood.
Some skills and personality traits go hand in hand. A Sim that has the Natural Cook trait and practices the cooking skill will do really well in the Cooking career. Higher skills help Sims advance in their careers. To see how well your Sim is doing in his or her skills, go to the Skill Panel and look at the Skill Journal. There is a journal next to every skill so you can keep track of your Sim's progress in each skill they have learned. The Skill Journals also hold Skill Challenges which are specific titles a Sim gains after completing certain requirements.
Sims can use the gyms in town to workout for free. Athletic Sims are more likely to win fights – such as with a robber who breaks into their home. Massage takes away Sore moodlet. Body Builder Skill unlocks Flex social which impresses romantic interests during conversations.
Children can't read cook books or learn recipes, but they can learn the cooking skill by cooking with the toy stove. Children can't cook full meals until they are teens, but they can take snacks and quick meals out of the fridge. Quick meals and snacks are free. If a Sim does not have the required ingredients for a meal, the amount the ingredients cost shows up next to the dish in the menu. The better the fruits and veggies used to make a meal, the higher quality the meal. Feeding meat to a Vegetarian Sim makes them sick.
Deathfish can be found in the Graveyard between 12 AM and 5 AM. Need Level 10 Fishing Skill to catch Deathfish. "Love the Outdoors" trait makes a better fisherman.

Omni Plant will grow into whatever you give it. Use a sprinkler (Found under Hobbies) to water the garden. You can upgrade the sprinkler so it waters the garden automatically. If you grow a money tree and don't care for it – it will turn into a tree full of bills that have to be paid. Rare and uncommon seeds can be found the farther away from community lots and houses you go. Sims with Insane and Green Thumb traits can "Talk To" plants to help them grow. Do not use Deathfish as a fertilizer. It will kill the plant you put it on.

Each object can only have one upgrade at time. Channels that help with certain skills aren't available on all TVs. An object that has been repaired and breaks time and again will eventually stop working. Objects that have stopped working need to be replaced by new ones.
There's a hidden Chess Skill. The better a Sim gets at playing chess, the more they win chess matches and games. At level 5 logic a Sim can tell another Sim they have named a star after them, which will increase the two Sims' relationship and even help a developing a romantic relationship.
At level 5 a Sim's paintings increase in value over time. The best way to make a nice painting is to set the scene. Put some nice flowers or decorations on an end table and what not to paint a still life. Set up a nice backdrop or background scene before painting a Portrait of another Sim. Have them sit in a chair or rest on a couch with nice surroundings before painting them. You can add flowers and what not to the backdrop, too to make the picture even nicer.

Homework in The Sims 4 is a necessary evil and a part of everyday life for most people IRL so it makes sense that it would be inside a life simulation game. From the time your sims turn into children until they’ve graduated University they are going to be doing homework and it will take up a significant part of their lives.
There are actually a few hacks you should know to get your sims to have more fun when doing homework, get it done quicker, and just generally finish it in a timely fashion that will make you a better sims player.
When a sim’s kid returns from their long day at school they are going to have a little orange book inside of their inventory which is their homework. This should be completed before they attend school again which is usually the next day unless it’s the weekend.
You can get your sims to start doing their homework by clicking on the homework book in their inventory and choosing do homework . Your sims will find the nearest place to sit (even on the ground) to start working on their homework and will work until they are finished unless they are interrupted by low needs or an event trigger like a fire.
Any adult can come over to this sim while they are doing their homework and you can choose help with homework which will get the adult involved and sitting with the child and they will get their homework done much quicker.
There is even a system for sims kids (not teens) where if your kid gets all of the four children skills to level 3 they’ll have the option to breeze through homework instead of do homework and this will get the job done quicker.
Getting these skills all to level 7 will give them the option to dominate homework which will get it done even more quickly. This is a nice hack to really finish it without it being a huge part of their day.
Once a child has finished their homework, if they have a B or higher in school, they actually have the option to do extra credit after they’ve finished their regular homework. This is good for you if you want to get your sims to increase their school performance.
If you ever find your sims without a homework book in their inventory and you have no idea where it could be you can actually purchase these for one simoleon on any book case!
Homework works pretty much the same way for teens except their homework book is a nice blue colour instead of the orange that kids get. To get them to work on their homework you’ll get them to go into their inventory and click on it and choose do homework and they will start working on it.
They too have the option to have an adult sim to help with homework by getting that sim to click on them when they’ve started their homework and getting them to assist to make it go more quickly.
Once a teenager has a B in school they have the option to do extra credit after they’ve finished their regular homework. This will help them increase their school performance and get to an A as soon as possible.
Bonus Tip: Use the earbuds from The Sims 4: Fitness Stuff Pack when doing homework to keep your sims fun need up so they aren’t feeling tense when they’re done working on it.
With The Sims 4: Parenthood there’s a pretty decent chance each week that your sims kids will come home with a school project that they can decide to complete for a boost to their grades. If they don’t complete it within a few days they may get a small decrease to their school grades but it’s not substantial.
These projects come home with your sims in their inventory and are rather easy to complete. They have the option to work on it either carefully or sloppily. Choosing sloppily will get the job done quicker, however, you won’t see a huge increase to their grades but you also won’t see a decrease.
The better option is to work carefully so your sims can improve their school grades. While they are working on these projects they’ll actually gain a skill depending on the type of homework they are working on. For sims kids they’ll be skills like mental, creativity, etc. but for teenagers it’ll be more specific like rocket science or painting .
One awesome thing is that you can get other sims to assist in the project up to 3 sims so you can get these projects done extremely quickly and if an adult sim who has a high skill in the project type assists it’ll go so quickly.
Working on these will also increase your sim’s kids’ responsibility character value which is awesome but failing to complete it will negativity impact this.
With the 2019 addition of The Sims 4: Discover University we have a whole new type of homework for your sims to have to work on. These homework books are going to be a black and white composite notebook that will appear in your sims inventory when they enroll in their first semester of university.
Each time your sim goes to a class they are going to need to do their homework before they attend that class if they want to get a good grade, meaning that if you’re taking multiple classes your sim will be needing to do homework multiple times per week.
To get this University homework done you’ll want to click on the homework book and choose which class’ homework you actually want to work on and get started. You don’t have to do it all in one sitting so you can start and stop as many times as you want.
An awesome detail about University homework is that if your sims have a high level of the research and debate skill they’ll actually breeze through their homework much more quickly. You can also add the study spot lot trait to your sim’s lot to make it easier.

Homework is something you can’t avoid if you want your sims to do well in school when they’re young, but there’s no need to stress about it. Sims grades won’t affect their later days work performance or the overall success in their life, so no worries if you don’t get it done. Happy Playing!

It do work!
Doing a 4 course in sims 4 is a real tedious chore. It will consume all your sims time and you won’t have time to do anything else. They did this way worse than sims 3 university.
There are a few tricks mind you! First of all you can be at home instead, makes it all much easier and you can(like mentioned above) add the “study spot” trait to your home.
The next trick is using the club! Make sure, if you go to the university, add everyone you see to your club. Focus on getting “Rally the Troops” perk. That will allow you to get back all your energy and other needs quickly whenever you want. There is no cooldown on this. It requires 500 points so it’s not bad at all. Just make sure the gathering is on at all times(which it should be since you most likely won’t be leaving the lot). The homework perk does not work for university.
EA could easily have fixed this by reducing the homework time from 2 hours to 1 hours imo. They made it too much of a chore. It’s a GAME after all.
But that’s the whole challenge bruh

Have you checked the family inventory? I had this during the time when I used the SP mod and had a lot of Sims reset. Their homework ended up in the family inventory. I'd also check with MasterController's Object Stats whether there is some hidden homework object on the lot when all family members are at home. Click on the lot and go MasterController - Object Stats - Local and count how many homeworks there are and compare to how many there should be. |

Boards. The Sims 3. Help with doing homework on table please. DarknessOfMyth 15 years ago #1. I recently bought a table for my sim to do hw on, but somehow i can't make him do it. Even when I put a chair in front of the table. He always goes to the floor to do it.

In Sims 3, there was a noticeable difference when being helped and when not. Sims 4 it takes the same time either way. Instead of giving a focused moodlet like getting help from an adult, doing homework with a child friend could (randomly or dependent on traits) give a playful moodlet instead as they distract each other. :D.
Homework Help Mod: This mod fixes certain issues with helping sims with their homework/assignment. - Sims can only request help to do their own homework now, and other sims can only help a sim if the homework belongs to that sim. - The owner sim and the potential teacher need to be on the lot for pie-menu options to appear.
