How to do your homework in The Sims 4
Graduate with good grades by staying on top of your teen Sim's schoolwork.
Whether your younger Sims are child prodigies or avid ditchers, chances are, you've dealt with quite a few popups encouraging them to do their homework . It's easy to forget about their homework, lose it, or even sell it by accident. Plus it's just time consuming to complete (and uneventful to watch), making it all around difficult to keep Sims' grades up if they have virtually any other responsibilities or hobbies.
Despite being a pain for a lot of busy Sims, homework is crucial to getting your kids good grades and boosting their skills. Or, if your older Sims are in university through the Discover University pack, it's absolutely necessary to avoid getting that terrifying academic probation warning at the end of a term.
Here's everything you'll need to know about doing your homework in The Sims 4, including how to do it at all ages, how to get new homework if you've misplaced it, and how to speed up the process.
To get a child or teen Sim to do their homework, open your Sim's inventory, locate their homework book (it'll be orange if your Sim is a child and blue if they're older) and click the "Do Homework" option. If you're tired of your Sims doing homework in weird places—mine always go straight to their parents' offices—you can also drag their homework from their inventory, place it where you want in the house, and click on it to "Do Homework" there instead.
As your Sims work their way up the educational ladder and become B students, they'll earn the option to do extra credit after their usual homework, which you'll do in the same way as regular homework and will deliver a helpful boost to their school standing.This process is a bit different if your Sim is in University via the Discover University pack. You can still find their homework in their inventory, but just like in real life, any Sim in university will have a much heavier homework load with homework for every class. Depending on the class, they'll also have final exams to study for and term presentations and papers to prepare, so make sure to get a head start!
Besides completing their usual booklets, there are a few extra ways for younger Sims to get their homework done that come with different packs. If you have the My First Pet Stuff pack, your child Sims can complete their homework by interacting with a hamster (or other hamster-esque pet) and clicking "Study Rodent," which is an especially adorable interaction to watch. I'm a big fan of giving all my kids pet rats and hedgehogs so they can get their homework while bonding with their little friends.
If you have the Parenthood pack, every Monday, your grade school and high school aged Sims will come home with school projects. To do these, you'll want to drag them into the world and then interact with them. You'll get to choose between working on them carefully or sloppily, and other Sims can pitch in as well to speed up the process (and even win the project's owner some extra credit).

Where'd your Sim's homework go?
If your Sim is missing their homework book, here are a few things that might have happened to it:
- It might have been stashed in the family inventory in Build Mode
- They left it at an entirely different lot
- You accidentally sold it (for a whopping 1 Simoleon!)
If you can't find your Sim's homework for the night, it likely wasn't a teacher's act of kindness and you'll need to buy them a new booklet. Sims won't get new homework when they head to school again. You can replace missing homework by using any bookshelf and clicking the "Purchase Books" option and selecting homework. If your Sim is in university, you can also buy them a new homework book via the kiosks found around campus.
How to do homework faster in The Sims 4
There are also a few ways you can speed up your Sim's homework times, which is especially useful if you're attempting to raise a well-rounded kid by squeezing in other after school activities. The best way of doing this, though, is simply by doing your homework as often as possible. As your Sims' grades improve, this option will change to "Breeze Through Homework" and eventually "Dominate Homework," allowing them to knock out their homework a lot faster.
Having your Sims' parents help them with their homework is also always a good idea—it'll speed the process up quite a bit and allow your Sims to bond in the process. If you have more kids than older Sims in the household, you can always invite over some adults from the town to help, which is a little weird in practice, but hey! It works.
If you're playing with Discover University, the Study Spot lot trait helps students of all ages do their homework faster and lets them work for longer without getting tired. Giving a lot you're living in this trait is always a good option to save on travel time, but if you'd rather not change your own lot's traits, the library in Britechester comes with this trait and is just a gorgeous spot to study in.
Lastly, having some Simanite (a crystal from the Crystal Creations pack) can help your Sims get homework done faster.

How to do homework in The Sims 4 High School Years
Your teen Sim doesnât have to do homework, but they should sometimes
by Julia Lee
In The Sims 4 ’s new expansion, High School Years , your teen Sims can head out to school the same way some Sims head to work. You can go with them to control what they do throughout the school day, affecting their relationships and academic growth.
Notably, in the career tab for the teen Sim, you’ll see that they have a daily task to “do homework” after every school day (as you’d expect from school). Though homework for young Sims is not a new addition, it can be new for players who never had teenage Sims.
The homework your teen Sim has to do will be in their personal inventory , as a little blue book. You can select it and click “do homework” and your teen Sim will move to a nearby table to do it.
Based on our gameplay, not doing homework didn’t do anything too dramatic to the Sims’ school performances. As long as your teen Sim is attending class, they’ll progress in their career just fine. However, if you want them to improve their grades faster, they should actively be doing their homework.

When you think of gaming, homework probably is the furthest thing from your mind– but in the Sims 4, knowing how to do homework is the key to becoming a successful student, integral with the parenting skill, and impacts your Simsâ life in a few ways.
One thingâs for certain: whether youâre trying to raise a family, or cramming study sessions in between dorm parties, knowing how to do homework is a must in the Sims 4– and thereâs more to it than you might think. Consider this your guide to homework, and all things related, in the Sims 4.
Homework in Sims: A Brief History
Homework has been signature gameplay in the Sims franchise. As a life simulator, it only makes sense that, just like players have to contend with paying bills, cleaning dirty dishes, and juggling careers with relationships, parenting, and everyday life. And itâs actually rather interesting to see how doing homework in the Sims has been important from generation to generation, but also evolved.
Hereâs a Sparknotes version of the history of homework in the Sims franchise.
Homework was not a mainstay of the original Sims game, but it was in the Sims 2. In the Sims 2, homework was important for teens, kids, and the then-new young adult life stage.
Children and Teens
A child and teen in the Sims 2 were required to go to school (with options for both public and private). Homework was generated daily. After the bus brought the kid home, that child Sim would have a physical copy of homework in their hand. Normally, homework would be set on a desk or nearby surface, though I remember many times it would just as often be placed on the ground. Completing homework had a direct effect on the Simsâ grades. Every day without incomplete homework resulted in a deduction.
A teenâs homework was a duller color, compared with the bright hues of a kidâs homework. If a Simsâ needs were not met, then they would likely not finish homework. When a Sim aged up, their homework automatically disappeared.
There were a few basic interactions for children and teens with homework in the Sims 2.
- Work on Homework
- Complete Homework
- Ask for Homework Help — this could be asked of any older Sim, and not only helped Sims complete homework more quickly, but also allowed them to complete homework more efficiently in the future.
Young Adults
Young adults were introduced in the Sims 2 University expansion pack, and have since become perhaps the most popular life stage in the Sims franchise. In the Sims 2, this life stage was limited to the University expansion. These young adults worked on assignments in order to influence their grades. It worked in a similar way as with kids and teens, though in addition to homework, they also had exams to deal with.
Sims 3 continued the homework system from Sims 2, making it clear that doing homework would become an expected gameplay feature in the Sims franchise. In many ways, Sims 3 kept the same basic systems for homework intact but enhanced it through new traits, packs, and an updated interface.
School, again, was mandatory for children in the Sims 3 , with a new boarding school option for no private school. If a Sim was sent to boarding school, there was nothing that you needed to worry about in terms of completing homework. Otherwise, it worked more or less the same way: new homework was generated and had to be completed for every school day.
New features included:
- The ability to do homework with a Sim of the same age
- The ability to copy homework (which could send them to detention)
- Ability to work on past due homework
- Enhanced homework completion with the workaholic and bookworm traits or if your Sim was a vampire (Sims 3: Supernatural expansion)
- Homework became a hidden skill
- Sims with an A average could select their new trait when they became a teen or young adult
- Grades listed in the new Simology panel
Young Adults (and Adults)
Sims who opted to attend college (via the Sims 3: University Life expansion pack), of course, had homework of their own. Homework, or assignments, were fairly similar to Sims 2, and, like Sims 2, the grades were determined by other factors like exams, but also somewhat how they behaved in their seminars, as well as outside projects.
Homework in the Sims 4- Your Guide
If youâve played previous Sims games, the good news is that homework in the Sims 4 isnât too different from previous Sims games. But like each generation, there are different tricks and tips you need to keep in mind to be successful, whether you are just looking to complete homework to help teens pass high school, or your Sims are tackling on a degree at the University of Britechester or Foxbury Institute of Technology.
Hereâs what I think you need to know.
Children are required to go to school, and Sims 4 does arguably take a step back in that public school is the only option for children and teens.
Getting to School
In a curious move, Sims 4 does not have any transportation that picks Sims up. In fact, the lack of even cars in the game has been a source of contention. In any case, a school bus wonât pick up children or teens, nor can you watch them make their way to school, as you could in the Sims 3. Instead, children and teens will either automatically transport themselves to school, or you can prompt them.
Decisions During School
Especially if you have Sims 4 Parenthood game pack, you can influence teen and child Simsâ days at school, at least a little. Pop-ups may occasionally come up where you are given a scenario, just as another kid caught cheating, or your Sim being teased. Some of these will impact your Simâs mood and social life. Sometimes, a child or teen will also ask for advice, which is tied to Sims 4 Parenthood parenting skills.
Locating Homework
As was the case with Sims 2, there is a small distinction in the appearance of children and teensâ homework. Children Sim will have a yellow Grade School Handbook, which, when not being worked on, is typically in their inventory. Teen homework is a blue notebook.
If youâre like me, though, sometimes homework gets lost in the house. If that happens you can actually purchase homework from a bookcase for a single simoleon. And unlike in the Sims 2, homework isnât assigned to one Sim in particular, meaning a kid can complete their homework even if it wasnât their original copy.
How to Do/ Complete Homework
To work on homework, simply drag it out of your Simsâ inventory and click on it for the âDo Homeworkâ option. You can have your Sim to do homework all at once, or pick it back up after taking care of their needs. Remember, your teen or child Sim will be assigned homework every school day, with no new homework on weekends.
Homework and Grade Performance
Knowing how to do homework in Sims 4 is helpful for grade performance, but it also isnât the only factor. In fact, by building skills, working on projects, and even keeping your Sims in a good mood, you can remain a fairly good student even when you skip homework from time to time.
Sims that are at a B or A average also will have access to the âDo Extra Creditâ option. This pops up after they complete their homework for the day and you select their homework a second time (homework doesnât disappear after being completed like previous Sims games). Extra credit is a chance to boost your Simsâ grades even more.
School Projects
School Projects are a unique feature exclusive to the Sims 4: Parenthood game pack. Available to teens and children, Sims can both work on their own projects and assist others. Working on a project builds all child skills at once.
Unlike homework, there is no official deadline for school projects so there arenât penalties for however long it takes. Once a project is completed, the student can start on a new one. Adults can help both teens and kids; kids can be helped by teens/.
Youâll be able to select from one of seven projects, all available for purchase on build mode. The completed project will be rated as excellent, good, or poor. Siblings may get upset with one another if their project is destroyed by a brother or sister.
How to Do Homework Faster
I admit; sometimes I get impatient with doing homework in Sims 4, especially if I have other plans for the family. The good news is that, if you work on your Simsâ skills, you can speed up the process for children.
Youâll need to work equally on the four major skills for Sim Children: creativity; mental; motor; social; and mental. Level 3 of all of these allows you to âBreeze through Homeworkâ while level 7 allows them to âDominate Homeworkâ.
For teens, your only real option is installing a mod (which I will discuss later).
University Students
Young adult and adult Sims can attend one of two campuses if you have the The Sims 4: Discovery University expansion pack installed. Homework, as you might imagine, is part of the equation–but the homework system looks different for adult and young adult Sims than it does for younger Sims, which impacts how you should do homework.
Getting Accepted
I wonât go into a full guide to the Discover University pack, but, in a nutshell, you Sim will have to first apply using a computer. Based upon their previous grades, skill set, and some other factors, they will either be offered or denied admission to the program of their choice at the University of Britechester of Foxbury Institute of Technology.
There is also the opportunity to gain scholarships and take out loans to finance their education. In my experience, most get accepted to school but may be limited to pursuing an honorary degree. Humanities-based degrees at Britechester, like English Literature, are honorary, while if you want a science or technology degree with distinction your Sim should attend the more modern Foxbury.
Homework Load at University
Homework is a part of the university experience in Sims 4, and doing it will help your Simsâ performance. Homework appears in their inventory (as a black and white book) and is meant to be completed before every class. You can also purchase homework from a bookshelf or the collegeâs kiosk (found out on the quad).
Classes are usually in the form of seminars and do not last all day, but your Sim, depending on your enrollment decisions, will likely have at least two classes per day, meaning youâll have to juggle multiple assignments.
Other Types of Homework
In addition to doing daily homework, Sims need to attend class regularly. Youâll also be working towards end of the semester exams, final projects, and term papers, depending on the class. Doing homework daily is helpful in keeping their grade average high, and putting a little less pressure on a term paper. It is possible to flunk out of college, so doing homework on a regular basis and attending classes is a must.
How to Make Homework Easier
Knowing how to do homework doesnât cut it, though. Between classes, roommates, parties, extracurriculars, and just taking care of basic needs, if youâre like me, youâll want to tip things in your Simsâ favor a little. Here are some tips
- Work on skills related to their major, or current classes
- Keep your Sim in a good mood by keeping needs in check
- Decorate your space with objects that exude a âFocusedâ mood (you can see this if you hover over objects in buy mode)
- Lock your dorm room to other Sims when studying
- Work on the Research and Debate skills
- Study in the library or another place if your roommate is partying
- Live off-campus and apply the âStudy Spotâ lot traits
Using Mods for Better Homework
If you know how to do homework in the Sims 4 but want it to run more smoothly, another option is to download a mod. I always caution that mods are at your own risk, and they can break, so make sure you check to see that the mod has been updated and that youâre downloading from a secure site.
Better Autonomous Homework by LittleMsSam
This mod fixes what many saw as a deficit in the Sims 4 homework system, by making sure that child Sims will do their homework without your prompting. Now and Sim with an A, B, or C average wonât require you to direct them to do their homework, at least initially.
There are optional add ons, too, such as careers affecting the speed they complete their homework; automatic transfer of homework to inventories when not in use; and a mod for NPCs. Read/ Download Here .
Faster Homework (University Edition) by Scarletâs Mods
As the name suggests, this mod allows your Sims studying at college to do homework faster. While homework normally takes 150 Sim minutes to complete, this mod allows them to complete it in 10, 25 or 50 minutes. Itâs truly a huge time saver. Read/ Download Her e.
Subject Homework by ScarletQueenKat
Subject Homework adds a little nuance and potential storytelling element for how to do homework for teens and kids in the Sims 4, all the while improving skills. Children will now be able to practice vocabulary (improves motor skill); review social studies (increases social skill) and do math problems (improves mental skill).
Teens can now solve algebra problems (increases logic skill); write a fitness article (raises fitness skill); practice creative writing (increases writing skill); and study music theory (improve the guitar skill).

Question: Where is homework located in The Sims 4?
Answer: You can find homework in your Simsâ inventory. Sometimes. Sims will work on it and place it elsewhere. If you lose homework, it can be purchased from a bookshelf for one simoleon, or at a University kiosk for college students.
Question: Can you grade homework in Sims 4?
If you have Sims 4 Discover University installed, you get an opportunity to grade homework if your Sim is in the Education Career. To grade homework, you need to navigate to the Education Career menu. From there, you can access student homework.
Final Thoughts
Knowing how to do homework in the Sims 4 can make your playing experience a lot easier. With the help of skills, and maybe some mods, homework will take up less of your gameplay time, while your Sims still stay top students–if they, and you, so choose.

The Sims 4: How to do Homework
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.
How to Do Homework for Children
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!
How to Do Homework for Teens
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.
School Projects
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.
How to Do Homework in University
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.

Final Thoughts
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!
I've been playing the Sims since the first game was released when I was only 5 years old. It's been a huge passion of mine for two decades and I've loved every single minute of it. I also love dogs. And grilled cheese sandwiches. And I think me and Bob Pancakes could be friends.

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

Nintendo Switch Sims Game Leaks Online
A classic sega dreamcast series is making a comeback, black myth: wukongâ how to beat captain wise-voice.
The Sims 4 's High School Years expansion puts its primary focus on the academic lives of teenage Sims. These Sims' studies are not confined to school, though, as they will be instructed to do homework every day. Fortunately, it is quite simple to do homework in The Sims 4 : High School Years , and this guide contains full details on how players should approach this task.
To note, homework is not a new addition in High School Years , and players that have had Sim children in the past are likely to have engaged with the feature before. That said, the expansion's emphasis on the activity will bring fans' attention to it, and some will want to make sure that they do it every day. It is indicated that homework does not have a huge impact on a Sim's academic success, though, and players should not be too concerned if they miss some study sessions here and there.
RELATED: The Sims 4: High School Years - Build/Buy Items
Players that are attempting to do homework in The Sims 4 's High School Years expansion should look in the personal inventory of their teenage Sims. For full clarity, a Sim's personal inventory is visualized as a file box that appears in the bottom-right corner of the screen, and there will be a blue book within it. Fans should now simply select that book and click on the "do homework" button to cause the Sim to move to a table and begin their studies.
Once a Sim has completed their homework, The Sims 4 players may want to spend some time with the apps that are featured in the expansion. One of those apps is Social Bunny, and Sims that post high-quality content to it frequently can earn themselves a great number of followers. There is also an app called Trendi in High School Years that can be used to buy and sell clothes as well as start new fashion trends.
Alternatively, players can put some effort toward the Prom, which plays a big role in this expansion pack. This effort might manifest as creating a Prom Proposal Sign and using it to ask another Sim to the event in grandiose fashion. It is important to mention that this can only be done after a life sim video game fan has received a notification about the Prom, though that should come shortly after starting The Sims 4 's High School Years expansion.
The Sims 4 is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

My sims can't read books or do homework. Is there any way to fix this?
Whenever I try to have a sim read something, it doesn't queue up. I'll click on the bookshelf, click read book, and then click on the book I want them to read, but it just won't queue up at all. The same thing happens when I try to get my teens to do homework. I've tried closing and reopening it, resetting the books, resetting the bookshelf, resetting the sims, deleting and rebuying the book, and repairing the game. I do have some CC and a few small mods that change the background in CAS, but nothing major. How do I fix this?

As a child, she needs the thinner more orange one. @hotbread01 You've bought her the teen homework. As a child, she needs the thinner more orange one. ah thank you!! i had looked up where to get my sim her homework book and everything just said blue homework book. Solved: Product : The Sims 4 Platform : PC Which language are you playing the ...
When my Sim "Anne-Marie" aged up into a teenager she got her new homework straight away. Of course I made her do it instantly, but then when she went to school and came back with new homework - anytime I command her to do it, she pulls it out does it for only a few seconds and cancels the action completely. I've reset her through the toolbar ...
Select it and click "do homework". If your sim doesn't have the book, go to the bookshelf or computer - purchase books - homework books (or children's books). Hey yeah, but I did. If you look at the pictures that's exactly what I did, but the only options that there are no options to do homework.
How to do your homework in The Sims 4. (Image credit: Eletronic Arts) To get a child or teen Sim to do their homework, open your Sim's inventory, locate their homework book (it'll be orange if ...
The homework your teen Sim has to do will be in their personal inventory, as a little blue book. You can select it and click "do homework" and your teen Sim will move to a nearby table to do ...
Homework is a part of the university experience in Sims 4, and doing it will help your Sims' performance. Homework appears in their inventory (as a black and white book) and is meant to be completed before every class. You can also purchase homework from a bookshelf or the college's kiosk (found out on the quad).
Sometimes traveling will reset sims too. i've tried that through the testingcheats settings and tried to reset through MCCC. I even reset the game đ. Then report it to Answers HQ. If someone has reported it, click on Me Too. If you can, you can make a vid of you trying to get them to do hw and resetting them and trying again so you can ...
Your teenage Sims should have a blue book, which is their homework book. Complete steps 3 and 4 as above. Getting a teen Sim to do homework is largely the same as having a child Sim complete it.
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 ...
I know part of MCCC is a script that forces sims to put homework back in their inventory after they finish interacting with it, so the first thing I'd do is check if you need to update MCCC. If that doesn't fix it, its likely another script mod conflicting with MCCC, so isolate those from your mods folder until you find the culprit. Reply reply.
Fans should now simply select that book and click on the "do homework" button to cause the Sim to move to a table and begin their studies. Once a Sim has completed their homework, The Sims 4 ...
Kids like to leave their homework EVERYWHERE. What I hate the most is when they leave it on a picnic table or something off-lot so you have no idea where to look. I've taken to carefully watching my children as they do their homework to make sure they pick it back up.
To get your Sim to start doing homework, you need to check their personal inventory. Look for a blue book with some white text on it. That's their school textbook. They may have similar books ...
Re: Teen Sim never gets Homework. In my experience, the kids don't "get" homework everyday. When they age up to child or teen, their appropriate homework book appears in their inventory without the need to go to school first. The only thing going to school does is make them able to do it again.
5 years ago. After Today's Patch My Uni Sims Can't Do Homework! RESOLVED Player Malfunction. Currently, I have four YAs from the same family going through their university experience together. They house in the same dorm. So far, so good. I've managed to get all four of them through their first term. Yesterday, I nearly got them through their ...
My teens and kids won't do their homework and It's only that action and not anything else that I know of. I've tried taking out of their inventory or resetting the Sims but nothing works. I just want to play with my new expansion and I don't know if that is the problem. Help!
Vegangeekgirl. Kids can't do homework. I have a family of 8 sims: 2 adults, 3 teens, and 3 children. The teens can do their homework and one of the kids but the other two kids can't. I can't click on their homework, it won't help if their parents tell them to do their homework. I did some cheating to keep them happy.
No. â. no matter what when clicking the homework to try and get the sims to do it it wont work. itll appear in the task bar but immediately cancel and wont let them do it. ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling both origins and the sims 4 game and repairing it etc but no matter what the bug is still there. 2 people had this problem.
Mines at a kitchen bench with stools and she can sit on them but not grade the work. Im starting to worry because shes gonna have her babys soon and shes poor lmao. Reply reply. tatertodd846. â˘. Try maybe adding a desk with nothing else on it. That seemed to fix my issue. Shes been grading homework all the time now!
After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin. Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back. Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually) Tray Folder.
The behavior when a sim likes homework is very similar to that described above, but their fun will increase, and they will gain positive moodlets. In most cases, as you can see in the picture below, a sim who likes homework will get focused by doing homework and inspired when helping others do homework.
HELP! : r/Sims4. My kids can't go to school or do homework... HELP! Help! I did the 50/50 yesterday and cleaned up what wasn't working. Updated all the script mods (I think). This was happening before the update as well, but I can't figure out what's causing it. When I click on a homework book, no options come up except to put it in inventory ...
We would like to show you a description here but the site won't allow us.
July 2022. Options. unsociablepotato. â Novice. I can't get my sims to eat food from the fridge or plate.
