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.

The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories [ ]
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.
The Sims 3 [ ]
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.
The Sims 4 [ ]
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 .
- ↑ A mod on Mod The Sims remedies this issue by forcing Sims to place their homework at a player-defined location, rather than at random.
- ↑ Grades are adjusted according to the amount of incomplete homework remaining on the lot, and not whether the homework was actually completed. Thus, players can simply delete homework using the moveobjects cheat or have a pet destroy it, and Sims will not be penalized for it.
- ↑ If the School is deleted, then the player will get to choose their next trait if the Sim was in a Good Mood.

If this isn't the problem, try dragging the homework out of inventory and onto a desk or table (with a chair available), to see if the teen can do it there. If that doesn't work either, wait one more school day and see whether the homework is reset. The sim can do her homework while at school—one of the options is "work on late homework ...
I'm a big CC addict and I have a few mods. I've tried taking out my big mods but I can't individually take out my over 500 CC. 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.
Try the solutions above of course, they are very experienced issue buster. Also, if non of those help, try replacing the homework for a new one. You can do that through bookshelves or computers. 1. + XP. #5. January 2017. Options. crinrict.
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 ...
The Sims 3 (3DS) My chid won't do her homework?! My Sim has her homework in her inventory, but I can't interact with it, and when she tries to do it without me telling her to, the actions immediately cancels. She's starting to fail, obviously. I've tried resetting her, leaving the game and going back, but it doesn't seem to work.

But now its monday morning and the panel says that the work starts in 1 day and 8 hours, so I am starting to think she wont ever go to work again. Also her daughter is a kid and the school panel also says that school starts in 1 day and some hours. And the daughters homework just disappeared from her inventory completely which also makes me ...
I wanted to send one of my Sims to boarding to school, but it is not working. The child is not going to boarding to school but staying at home even though the game thinks that the child is going to boarding school. I also can not find the option to cancel boarding school either. Apparently, it is because the child has not left home yet. I also deleted temporary files in hopes that could ...
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.
If not, I'm sorry, but it won't be updated. What is it, what does it do? I've always had an issue with the time it takes Sims to do their homework - the EA default is 3 Sims hours (roughly), and from my experience that is extremely unrealistic. There have been faster homework mods previously, but none are compatible with pets or the latest ...
So weird. 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.
Game version 1.67 (might work with other patch levels, beats me) This mod replaces the "Do homework with" interaction (activated clicking on the. homework object, technically the interaction is called GetHomeworkForDoWith) with a version that allows to select more than one Sim to do the homework with. Additional Credits.
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.

View in thread. #2. October 2022. Options. roberta591. Hero (Retired) @FreeToBeMae In the sims personal inventory there should be a blue book. 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).
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.
First of all... there's no homework. I have to buy it. Then, I find it in my bookshelf and tell my child to do her homework, and she immediately puts it on the desk and it becomes inactive. I click on it and it just says "homework", not "do homework". There's no way to have her do it. Any suggestions? PS5, btw.
After it launches, go to the Content Management menu at the top, then Batch Fixes>Objects>CC beds, then click Run on the window it opens. It might take a minute or two, but it completely solved this problem for me. Good luck! (CM: edited to remove mod link. Please read this thread for more on linking mods on Answers HQ) 8.
I used this interaction with no problem several times, the game crashed and I can no longer grade homework. Ive tried selling and re buying the book in the bookshelves but even that doesn't seem to work. I've also dragged it into the world then tried performing the action.. it doesn't work. Also have tried debugging my sims and the book.
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 😭. 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 ...
