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

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 Sims’ life in a few ways.
One thing’s for certain: whether you’re 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 there’s 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 it’s actually rather interesting to see how doing homework in the Sims has been important from generation to generation, but also evolved.
Here’s a Sparknotes version of the history of homework in the Sims franchise.
![how do u make your sim do homework how do u make your sim do homework](https://simguided.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/word-image-48.png)
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 Sims’ grades. Every day without incomplete homework resulted in a deduction.
A teen’s homework was a duller color, compared with the bright hues of a kid’s homework. If a Sims’ 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
![how do u make your sim do homework how do u make your sim do homework](https://simguided.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/word-image-49.png)
If you’ve played previous Sims games, the good news is that homework in the Sims 4 isn’t 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.
Here’s 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 won’t 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 Sims’ 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 Sim’s 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 teens’ 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 you’re 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 isn’t assigned to one Sim in particular, meaning a kid can complete their homework even if it wasn’t their original copy.
How to Do/ Complete Homework
To work on homework, simply drag it out of your Sims’ inventory and click on it for the “Do Homework” 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 isn’t 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 “Do Extra Credit” option. This pops up after they complete their homework for the day and you select their homework a second time (homework doesn’t disappear after being completed like previous Sims games). Extra credit is a chance to boost your Sims’ 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 aren’t 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/.
You’ll 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 Sims’ skills, you can speed up the process for children.
You’ll 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 “Breeze through Homework” while level 7 allows them to “Dominate Homework”.
For teens, your only real option is installing a mod (which I will discuss later).
University Students
![how do u make your sim do homework how do u make your sim do homework](https://simguided.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/word-image-50.png)
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 won’t 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 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).
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 you’ll have to juggle multiple assignments.
Other Types of Homework
In addition to doing daily homework, Sims need to attend class regularly. You’ll 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
![how do u make your sim do homework how do u make your sim do homework](https://simguided.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/word-image-51.png)
Knowing how to do homework doesn’t cut it, though. Between classes, roommates, parties, extracurriculars, and just taking care of basic needs, if you’re like me, you’ll want to tip things in your Sims’ 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 “Focused” 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 “Study Spot” 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 you’re 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 won’t 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 Scarlet’s 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. It’s 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 Sims’ 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.

How you perform homework depends on which stage your Sim is in their education. Here’s a detailed guide for doing homework across all ages in Sims 4.
Children – How to Do Homework in The Sims 4
To get your child to do homework, follow these steps:
- Send your child to school.
- When they return home, select the child and check their inventory . There should be an orange book – this is their homework book.
- Click on the book and select Do homework . The child will sit down and begin completing the task.
- If needed, an adult Sim can assist with their child’s homework, which will speed the process up.
Make sure your character completes their homework before the next school day for optimum performance at school.
Teens – How to Do Homework in The Sims 4

Getting a teen Sim to do homework is largely the same as having a child Sim complete it. The only difference is that a teen Sim’s homework book will be blue, not orange.
University Student – How to Do Homework in The Sims 4

To speed up the time it takes for your character to complete their university homework, try leveling up their Research and Debate skills. This will reduce the time taken to complete homework considerably.

How to do homework in The Sims 4 High School Years
Your teen Sim doesn’t have to do homework, but they should sometimes
by Julia Lee
![how do u make your sim do homework A teen Sim does homework on a plain desk](https://platform.polygon.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23918472/TS4_x64_2022_08_02_16_15_34.png?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0.80899763220205%2C0%2C98.382004735596%2C100&w=2400)
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.
![how do u make your sim do homework The inventory menu screen of a teenage sim with homework inside](https://platform.polygon.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/chorus/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23918476/TS4_x64_2022_08_02_16_14_26.png?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C100&w=2400)
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.

Welcome to our Sims 4 guide for homework!
Have you ever wondered if there’s any different way to approach your sims homework on the Sims 4? Then this guide is going to be perfect for you! Today we are going to talk about how you can help your sims finish their homework faster, giving them more time to do other things.

It helps with your sim’s grades and is a must if you want to pick their next trait. It takes about an hour to complete, though there are ways to speed up the process. On The Sims 4 Discover University, adult sims that are in university are also given homework.
Little life-hacks for your sim’s homework on the Sims 4
Have an adult sim help them.
Sims can finish their homework much faster if a grown-up helps them. To do so, have them sit somewhere and start doing their homework. Then, take control of any other adult sim in the household. Click on the sim that is doing their homework and choose the option “Help with homework”. However, keep in mind that this increases the chances that one of them gets distracted! Try and fill all of their needs first to keep that from happening.
Raise your sim’s skills to receive a speed boost
If your child sim has all of their skills on level 3 and above, you’ll notice that there’s a new option for homework. It’s called “Breeze through homework”. This will cut the time that they need to complete it! You can take it a step further and raise all of their skills to level 7. This will unlock the option to “Dominate homework”. With “Dominate homework” your sims will be able to complete their homework even more quickly! But, this speed boost isn’t available for teens or older sims.
Get your sims in a focused mood
If all else fails, you can always make your sims get in a focused mood. By doing so, they’ll be less distracted and will complete their homework faster! You can get your sims focused by:
- Buying and placing focused aura items around them.
- Drinking pitch black tea.
- Upgrading objects by using the handiness skill.
- Bathing in citrus soaks. (Spa Day)
- Doing mind concetrating yoga. (outdoor retreat)
- Drinking a focused potion.
- Playing chess.
Common issues related to homework on the Sims 4
I somehow lost my sim’s homework.
It happens, sims just love losing their stuff. But don’t worry, you can just buy a new one from a bookcase for just §1! The same thing goes for your sims in university. You can also do your sim’s homework using someone else’s book! In The Sims 4, homework books aren’t unique for every sim.
My sim just won’t sit down to do homework
If your sim just doesn’t want to do their homework there are two ways to solve it. One, you can try to fill their needs. Make sure that they’re not peckish or sleepy. No one wants to be uncomfortable when doing their homework. The other solution is to disable autonomy. To do that, go into your game’s gameplay settings. Then, pick “Disable Autonomy for Selected Sim”. Problem solved!
We hope you found this guide useful! Homework can be a nightmare. Both in the real world and the sims world. If we forgot anything, let us know down in the comments!

How to do your homework in The Sims 4
Graduate with good grades by staying on top of your teen Sim's schoolwork.
![how do u make your sim do homework The Sims 4 - a teen sim sits at a desk doing their homework](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/TAX6uxm8UeZRfgDEHRosH7-320-80.jpg)
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.
![how do u make your sim do homework The Sims 4 - A teen Sim's homework in their inventory, interaction menu "do homwork"](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/AvoF2XafNuehsro3BRtja6-320-80.jpg)
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 do u make your sim do homework The Sims 4 -](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/m8DNoT6eUPt2rtJsPUXZhM-320-80.jpg)
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
The best way to get your Sim's grades up in school is to have them do their homework every day. Oftentimes, though, your Sim will oddly choose to not do their homework. Thankfully, it's very easy to force them to get to work.
How to find and do homework in The Sims 4
![how do u make your sim do homework how do u make your sim do homework](https://progameguides.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Featured-Sims-4-Homework-Inventory.jpg?resize=900%2C506)
You can find the homework for a child or teen in their inventory. The inventory is the little box symbol in the bottom right of the UI screen. To command your Sim to do their homework, click on the book in the inventory and choose Do Homework . If you cannot find their homework book, search around the home to find it. In the case of an emergency, you can order a new book from the phone or computer.

Have your Sim work on their homework in peace until they are finished. Once finished, you can sometimes press the book again and choose an option to do extra credit, which is useful if you want to raise your Sim's grades. If you think they may have already done their homework, click the briefcase to open the School tab and check on their Daily Task progress. Make sure the book either stays in a good spot where it can't get lost, or just move it back into their inventory to be safe.

Homework in The Sims 4 is an extracurricular activity that sim children and teens can do at home. To learn more about homework in The Sims 4 read on.

As your sim children and teens age up-they'll automatically receive homework in their inventories. Children receive yellow 'Grade School Homework' and teens receive blue 'Homework' books. The homework is individual to each sim, sims cannot do other sim's homework for them. If you lose the book around the neighbourhood, you can purchase another set of homework for your child through the 'buy books' menu on a bookcase or PC.
To do homework simply click on it in your inventory and select 'Do Homework'. The activity will take longer if your sim is in a bad mood. You can speed up the interaction if you get an adult sim to 'Help with Homework' by interacting with the sim whilst it is working. After completing the homework, you can interact with it again to complete 'Extra Credit Homework' for additional gain.

How To Improve Grades In The Sims 4
![how do u make your sim do homework Parents helping with a school project in The Sims 4](https://www.ggrecon.com/media/ei2gd2hi/sims4-homework-project.jpg?mode=crop&width=682&quality=80&format=webp)
Doing Homework is an easy way of ensuring your child improves their grades. School works in a very similar way to sim careers in the fact that homework acts as an extra activity you can do to boost performance.
To boost performance, you can also ensure that your sim goes to school in a good mood with their needs all met and choosing the 'Work Hard' option on their icon picture whilst attending class. You can also raise a child's skills to increase performance. Skills include mental, motor, creativity and social.
Children can sometimes come home with a school project if you have The Sims 4: Parenthood installed. If this is the case, you'll receive a notification that they have received a project from school. Projects range from making volcano displays to castles and other dioramas. These are a good way of boosting your sim child's grade as well as boosting skill gain. The project will perform even better if you get a parent to help the child with the project. Projects can also be bought from the build and buy mode if you wish to help your child's grade along faster.
If the child's grade starts to fall, it will trigger an interaction where the principal will ring the child to discuss their failing grades. The child's grades will also suffer if they choose to skip school. This can be done by simply cancelling the interaction for them to go to school in the morning. They may also get a pop-up from a classmate asking them to skip school if you have The Sims 4: Parenthood installed.

Sims 4: How to Do Homework
How to Do Homework in The Sims 4
The Sims 4 will have you living out your sim family’s life any which way you’d like. When your family expands and you get some children or teens, though, it’s time to start worrying about grades at school! The best way to ensure their education is top notch is to make sure they do their homework each and every school day (Mondays-Fridays). Let’s go over how to do this.
Every weekday, your child or teen sim will come home from school with homework. It can be found in their inventory, and you’ll be able to do it by clicking on it from there and selecting to do it. You can also have an adult help them out while they’re doing it by selecting the adult and then clicking on the child/teen and choosing the Help With Homework option.
Complete this and you’ll make sure your grades don’t drop! If you want to get a bit of boost in school performance, you can “Do Extra Credit” by clicking on the homework again when it’s all done the first time. This will lead to a small increase in performance the next morning that you head back to school.
That’s all there is to it! If you need any more help with the game, leave a comment down below and we’ll do our best to help you out!

How to complete coursework.
In The Sims 4: Discover University , your Sim will need to pass their classes in order to graduate with their chosen Degree, which includes completing Coursework like written papers and taking exams.
This guide teaches you everything you need to know about How to Complete Coursework in TS4, including writing and submitting papers, taking exams, and creating a presentation.
Click on any of the links below to automatically scroll to that section of this guide:
![](http://pechenka.online/777/templates/cheerup1/res/banner1.gif)
What is Coursework in The Sims 4?
How to write a term paper, how to take final exam, how to give a presentation.
In the Discover University Expansion Pack, student Sims who have enrolled in a degree will have to attend classes to pass the semester (which lasts a week). Showing up isn't enough, though—it also includes Coursework.
Because university life is so hectic, you will need to make sure your Sim balances work and study because if they're too busy with a job to go to class and complete their Coursework, they won't be able to graduate.
![how do u make your sim do homework Sims 4 writing.png](https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/the-sims-4/0/08/Sims_4_writing.png?width=200&quality=20&dpr=0.05)
To learn more about Degrees, including types and what careers your Sim can go into after graduating, check out our Degrees guide .
There are three types of Coursework:
- Written Term Paper
- Presentation
You can view each class your Sim is signed up for and what Coursework they'll need to complete that semester by clicking on the Career tab on your hotbar (or simply press J).
![how do u make your sim do homework Sims 4 coursework.jpg](https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/the-sims-4/4/4f/Sims_4_coursework.jpg?width=200&quality=20&dpr=0.05)
To write a Term Paper, your Sim will need access to a PC. Click on the PC, then "University" > "University Coursework" > "Term Paper." Here, you'll see two options: "Write Term Paper" and "Submit Plagiarized Term Paper."
If you want your Sim to get a good grade, don't cheat as it's impossible to get an A with a fake paper. Instead, choose for them to write it themselves.
![how do u make your sim do homework Sims 4 pc coursework.jpg](https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/the-sims-4/d/d7/Sims_4_pc_coursework.jpg?width=200&quality=20&dpr=0.05)
After a few hours, your Sim will have produced their first draft. You can choose to hand this in but for a better grade, go back to the PC and click on "Edit Term Paper". Do this multiple times until you get a notification popup that says it is the best it can be. Now you can "Submit Term Paper" from the computer.
In Discover University , doing the Final Exam is easy: your Sim just goes to class on one of the final days of the semester and takes it automatically. But this doesn't mean there isn't work to do, though. If you want your Sim to get a high grade, they need to study.
Click on a PC, then "University" > "University Coursework" > "Study" and then choose the class the Final Exam is for. For a good grade, it's ideal that they study at least twice—the more, the better. They may also need to study for more than one class if multiple have a Final Exam as Coursework so make sure they have enough time to fit it all in!
![how do u make your sim do homework Sims 4 study.png](https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/the-sims-4/7/7b/Sims_4_study.png?width=200&quality=20&dpr=0.05)
It is also a good idea to raise the Skill that the class is tied to; again, the higher the better. You can check this in the Career tab in your hotbar.
This is the most confusing piece of Coursework your Sim is given as the game does not mention what you need to do, leaving you to figure it out for yourself. Upon starting the semester, a Presentation Board will be put in your Sim's inventory which you must place in the world.
Have your Sim interact with the board and "Compile Information." They will spend an hour or two throwing ideas onto the board. You can submit it like this, but if you want a higher grade, you will need to "Refine and Organize" until a popup appears notifying you it's the best it can be.
![how do u make your sim do homework Sims 4 presentation.png](https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/the-sims-4/1/1f/Sims_4_presentation.png?width=200&quality=20&dpr=0.05)
If you "Practice Presenting," your Sim's Charisma Skill will increase—something that you should ideally make them do a couple of times as it can help with the grade. Once this is done, your Sim will now be ready to hand their Presentation in.
Presentations can only be handed in during school hours: from Monday to Friday between 8AM and 4PM. Your Sim will be in class for a couple of hours while they present.
![how do u make your sim do homework Sims 4 final presentation.jpg](https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/the-sims-4/6/6b/Sims_4_final_presentation.jpg?width=200&quality=20&dpr=0.05)
Homework is separate from Coursework but is just as important. It is a daily task, meaning you'll have to do it for each of your Sim's classes every day. It takes a couple of hours to complete it for each class.
To do Homework, go to your Sim's inventory and you'll see a black and white class book. You can either click it from the inventory itself or place it in the world and then click it, but when you do, homework options for each of your Sim's classes will pop up.
Your Sim will go and sit down somewhere to finish their homework, and their progress can be tracked in the Action Queue on the bottom left. The more homework your Sim does, the better their grade will be for that class at the end of the semester.
![how do u make your sim do homework Sims 4 homework.png](https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/the-sims-4/4/4a/Sims_4_homework.png?width=200&quality=20&dpr=0.05)

This post was last updated on August 1, 2024
If you’re wondering how to do homework, Sims 4 is way easier and more fun than real life! One of the unique aspects of Sims 4 is how it mimics real-world experiences, including raising Sim children and boosting your Sim’s school performance. Understanding how to help with homework is challenging, especially with the complex updates since previous Sims games.
At That VideoGame Blog, we provide tips, tricks, and cheat codes for all the hottest games so you’ll never get stuck. For example, you can learn about the must-have traits for Sims 4 to better define how your Sims act.
Below, we discuss everything you need to know about homework in the Sims 4 universe!
What You Need To Know About Homework in the Sims Universe
Homework is nothing new to the Sims franchise. The game capitalizes on real-world chores, like doing the dishes, parenting children, paying bills, going to work, and juggling each life stage. The homework system evolved throughout Sims 2 and 3 to reach the level it’s at now, which we discuss in more detail below.
Kids Must Go to School
The game requires all child Sims to attend school. In previous games, you could choose the type of grade school your children and teens attended, though now public school is your only option. Fortunately, you can influence their mood and social life during the school day by helping them make decisions about social dilemmas.
For example, you might receive a notification about another child Sim cheating on a test or bullying the younger Sims. Parenting your Sim through these scenarios directly impacts their personality.
Adults Can Choose To Attend University
Young adult Sims can choose to further their education by attending a university. You can pick between two schools with the Discover University Expansion pack. Before attending, your Sims must apply, as real university students would.
The two university options, the University of Britechester or the Foxbury Institute of Technology, will analyze your Sim’s skills and grades before offering an acceptance or denial letter. You can also apply for scholarships and loans to help finance your Sim’s education. Once they attend school, they can choose a different degree like literature, electronic arts, science, technology, etc.
Every adult Sim attending a university must complete homework, just like the child Sims do, though they usually spend less time each day in class. University students must balance term papers, daily homework, extra credit, and exams while attending classes. Helping your older Sim stay on track with their university homework prevents them from failing the semester.
You Don’t Need to Worry About School Transportation
You’ll notice that Sims 4 doesn’t have a school bus or any other transportation system to get your child or teen Sims to school. Luckily, you don’t need to worry about walking them or watching them arrive. In Sims 4, all students automatically teleport to the necessary classroom at the appropriate times.
Locating Homework Gets Complicated
Keeping track of all the homework in the Sims 4 universe isn’t easy. Each student’s age group receives different homework books, so it’s important to keep them organized. The following key outlines each Sim’s homework book color by age:
- Children: Yellow Grade School Handbook and orange homework book
- Teen’s homework: Blue homework book
- Adults: Black and white book (found in the Sims inventory)
You can purchase books and copies if your Sim loses the original version. We also recommend getting a bookcase to organize all homework books in your house. Adult students can purchase books and homework from the University Kiosk.
How To Do Homework: Sims 4
Now that you understand how homework functions, let’s discuss how to help your Sims family dominate homework. School work is a necessary evil in the game because Sims’ grades suffer when they skip homework or turn in incomplete homework.
Completing Homework for Sims 4 Kids
When your child Sim comes home from school, they’ll bring an orange book in their backpack with all their homework. You must have them complete homework before the next school day. Follow these instructions:
- Open the Sim’s inventory for your younger Sims.
- Click “Do homework.”
- Aid them with any needs as they work.
- Send an adult Sim to help with the child’s homework.
- Click “help with homework” from the adult Sim’s inventory.
- Increase child “skills” levels to complete homework faster (like the research and debate skill).
- Once finished, have the Sim complete extra credit to boost homework grades.
Note that whenever you leave a Sim to do homework, they will continue working until finished unless they need something. Keep an eye on event triggers and low needs to ensure that your Sim child or teen continues working hard.
Helping Sim Teens Dominate Homework
Teenaged Sims complete regular homework just like the younger Sims. Once they’re home from school, open up the inventory menu and select the option to work on class homework. You can make one of your other Sims offer homework help to complete the process more quickly by following the same instructions above.
If your teen Sim has a B in the class, they can choose to do extra credit as well to boost their grades. Helping your teen Sim get an A improves their odds of getting accepted into a university.
We also recommend getting earbuds from the Fitness Stuff Pack to let your teens listen to music while they do homework. Sometimes grueling school hours can decrease fun levels, but music helps keep energy high.
Completing School Projects
Aside from regular homework, sometimes your family members bring home school projects. In Sims 4: Parenthood, you’ll likely see a school project at least once weekly.
Unlike homework, projects are semi-optional. If your Sim completes the work, their grade goes up, but if they don’t finish it in a few days, their grade will only go down a small amount.
You can have your Sims complete projects just as they do homework. The new homework project appears in the inventory, where you can prompt your Sim to begin working on it. You have two options to choose from when they do homework for a school project:
- Sloppy : Letting your Sim do homework sloppily completes the project faster, though it offers smaller grade increases.
- Careful : When Sims work carefully on a project, they boost their grades more and gain certain skills, depending on the project type. Child Sims might gain creativity or building skills while teens can acquire more specific ones like painting or rocket science skills.
To make the homework project fly by, you can have up to three Sims work on it together, including adults. We recommend assigning an adult with more advanced skills to help move things along. Once completed, any child Sims will receive improved responsibility character value scores.
Completing Adult Sim University Work
If you sign up for the University Expansion, you have the fun opportunity of sending your adult Sims to college. University homework is more advanced since it requires your Sims to do homework for multiple classes at once. Rather than doing one homework assignment daily, each Sim might need to complete two or three to prepare for classes the next day.
When you’re ready to have your Sim do homework, click on the specific homework book for the class you want them to work on. Remember, university books are black and white. After selecting the appropriate class, your Sim can work on their homework for as long as you choose.
Adult Sims with strong research and debate skill levels enjoy rapid homework completion rates. We recommend helping your Sims improve their debate skills to finish homework quickly.
Tips for Finishing Homework Faster
Balancing homework with other life stresses is challenging in Sims 4. If you want to help your Sims finish their homework quickly and easily, use these tips:
- Help your Sims increase their logic skill level.
- Work on skills related to their major or classes.
- Dedicate a space in the house for homework with calming decorations.
- Keep your dorm room locked from others while your Sims study.
- Increase your Sims’ research and debate skills.
- Take your Sim to the library if their roommate throws a party.
- Apply for Study Spot lot traits.
- Boost child skill levels so they can finish homework quickly.
- Consider downloading mods to help you fly through homework smoothly.

SIMS 4: How To Do Homework (Step By Step)
Raising children in Sims 4 is a little bit difficult because you need to do everything to raise a good child, like doing homework, completing trait works, etc.
During the childhood of a sim, they need to complete their homework as a daily task.
In this post, I will show how to do homework in Sims 4. With simply step by step instructions.
Let’s dive in.
Who Can Do Homework?
Basically, Children and teens should do their homework every day as a daily task. After their birth, they grow up to be toddlers and after celebrating their birthdays, they become children.
Then they attend school daily and at the end of the day. That’s whey they’ll need to do homework.
Why Do Homework?
Your child sims should do their homework daily in order to up their grades.
If they do not, their school principals call them and alert them about their grades.
How To Do Homework?
There is a simple way to do the homework of your sim.
Step 1 – Increase The Fun Level
First, you need to increase the fun level of your child. If your child is not in a fun mood or amusement fun, your child rejects to do homework.
Therefore you need to let your child play on a monkey bar or in a park, watch TV, read books, play video games, etc. Then eventually your sim’s fun level increases.
Step 2 – Have a Thoughtful Shower
![how do u make your sim do homework thoughtful shower](https://lootandgrind.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/thoughtful-shower.jpg)
After that, you need to give a thoughtful shower to your child. You can do it by clicking on the shower or bathing tub and selecting a thoughtful shower.
This will increase your child’s inspiration and it helps to do homework.
Step 3 – Do Homework
![how do u make your sim do homework do homework](https://lootandgrind.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/do-homeworks.jpg)
In this step, you can click the inventory of your child or teen to find the homework book. Usually, children have yellow color homework books and teens have blue color homework books. then you can select it and do homework.
Step 4 – Have An Adult Help
Adults can also help their children to do their homework. While children are doing their homework, you can select an adult and click on them to help with homework.
In Conclusion
As you can see, it’s a very easy process.
Learning how to do homework in Sims 4 will definitely be beneficial to growing your sims through childhood to adulthood. So keep improving them along the way.

How to do homework in The Sims 4 Guide
![how do u make your sim do homework How to do homework in The Sims 4 Guide](https://pillarofgaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/How-to-do-homework-in-The-Sims-4-Guide-1120x630.webp)
Homework in The Sims 4 holds significant weight, acting as a pivotal component in a Sim’s journey. It not only shapes their academic growth but also molds their future opportunities. For school-aged Sims, namely children and teenagers, homework becomes an everyday assignment that plays into their daily routines.
When a Sim transitions into either the child or teenager phase, they’re bestowed with homework books. The younger children receive orange ones, while the teens are given blue books.
To embark on their homework journey, Sims needs to access their inventory, find the homework book, and select the “do homework” command. But fret not if you misplace a Sim’s homework! There’s always the option to buy another set for a mere Simoleon from any available bookcase.
Managing Sims 4 Homework for School-aged Sims
Every weekday, from Monday to Friday, these school-goers are assigned homework in Sims 4. It becomes part and parcel of their academic life. Now, to ensure that they do their assignments promptly and effectively, there are strategies that players can employ:
- Adult Sim Assistance : A little help can go a long way. An adult Sim, when prompted, can aid a child or teen in their homework endeavors, cutting down the time it takes to complete it.
- Breeze through Homework : As a child Sim hone their skills and achieve level three in all four child skills, they unlock a special “Breeze through Homework” capability, allowing them to finish their tasks in record time.
- Dominate Homework : For the prodigious child Sim who scales their skills to level seven, the “Dominate Homework” feature becomes available, serving as a turbo boost to their homework completion rate. It’s noteworthy, however, that this feature is strictly for the children, leaving the teens to find their pace.
Advanced Homework Strategies for Teens in Sims 4
Teenage Sims have their own academic battles in The Sims 4. They attend high school daily, and with it comes the responsibility of daily homework. Players have the unique opportunity to accompany their teen Sims to school, oversee their academic endeavors, and influence their choices. To kick-start the homework ritual:
- Dive into the Sim’s personal inventory and scout for the blue book adorned with white writing.
- Hover over the said item and pick the “Do Homework” directive.
- During this, the Sim settles down at a table, immersing themselves in their assignment.
- For a little push, players can usher an adult Sim to pitch in, selecting the “Help with schoolwork” option.
- For Sims striving for excellence, especially those with grades languishing below a B, there’s always the “Do extra credit work” avenue which, when taken, provides noticeable benefits in school.
University Homework in The Sims 4 University Expansion
The University expansion in The Sims 4 introduces a different ball game. With the pursuit of a degree, Sims is saddled with daily homework duties, even before their first class commences. To stay atop this academic ladder and eye that A-plus grade:
- The university homework can be accessed via a black-and-white book in the Sim’s inventory.
- From this book, players can cherry-pick the specific class homework they desire their Sims to tackle.
- To amp up the homework progress, there’s the “Study Spot” lot trait. Players can either:
- Infuse this trait into their houses or dorms.
- Opt for a library visit, a place inherently bestowed with the “Study Spot” trait.
But the game-changer lies in the research and debate skills. Sims equipped with this skill don’t just breeze through their homework but also master term papers and presentations with flair. Beginning this skill development in the teenage years can provide a formidable advantage during the university phase.

How to do homework in The Sims 4
No matter if it’s real life or The Sims 4, going to school is never easy. The worst part is always the homework. After a young Sim returns home, they still need to sit down to complete homework assignments. Here is what you need to know to do homework in The Sims 4.
The basics of The Sims 4 homework
![how do u make your sim do homework how do u make your sim do homework](https://www.gamepur.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/The-Sims-4-High-School-Years-1.jpg?w=1024)
There are three types of basic homework. There’s grade school and high school homework, for child and teenager Sims, respectively. You can find the younger Sims’ homework inside their inventory. Make sure to do it before the end of each day and that they have a great mood before leaving the house so they can succeed in school. Each time they age up, new homework is added to their inventory to reflect it. You can sell unnecessary homework for $1. If young Sims do well throughout grade and high school, they can improve from a C student to a B student, eventually becoming a successful A+ student. A+ students will get higher-paying positions in their chosen careers that they start as young adults .
To improve your younger Sims’ school standing, the school will also sometimes give you school projects. You can also get these projects by purchasing them for $100 in buy mode. You can finish these projects by “working carefully” or “working sloppily.” The former gets you more points toward being an A+ student.
Moreover, the more skills your young Sims have, the quicker they can complete their homework. If you have all their skills up to level 3, they can choose to “breeze through homework.” If they have all their skills at level 7, they can choose to “dominate homework” to complete it even faster. Another way to help your young Sim do their homework faster is by having an adult Sim choose to “help with homework.” It increases their relationship bar while getting the schoolwork done faster.

Homework in The Sims 4: High School Days
For people who have The Sims 4: High School Days , homework isn’t all that different. However, you do have to worry about exams every Friday. When you have an upcoming test on your teen Sim’s schedule, you need to choose whether to cram for the test or not study at all. Instead of a homework book, this is just a prompt you can choose when clicking on your sim. If they get good exam scores, their standing grade (A, B, or C) will improve.
Homework in The Sims 4: University
![how do u make your sim do homework how do u make your sim do homework](https://www.gamepur.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/The-Sims-4-University.jpg?w=1024)
If you want advanced homework, though, look no further than The Sims 4: University pack. When you have a student attending University in The Sims 4, they have homework they continuously need to be working on while they attend school. Your Sim has to complete their homework before they attend a class again to get good grades. You can have them complete their homework faster if their home has a study spot trait, or if your Sim has the research and debate skill leveled up. You can level up your research and debate skill by using a mirror, using a podium, or using the Archive at the university, which is free to use.
Troubles with homework in The Sims 4
Some players have reported having issues sometimes misplacing their Sims’ homework. If you need to obtain a new homework workbook, you can do so by purchasing it from the bookshelf by clicking the “purchase books” tab.
You should also be sure to try to have your Sim do their homework when they arrive home from school. You can potentially have them do homework late at night or in the morning before school, but it’s a risk. They could end up going to school exhausted or with unfinished homework.

To finish your character’s homework, select the book in their inventory and click “Do Homework”. They’ll spend an hour or two reading this book, which is the visual indicator that they’re finishing their homework. Once your child or teenage sim is done, a notification will appear in the top-right corner of your screen, telling you they have completed their homework for the day. From here, you have the option to complete extra credit, which helps increase the character’s grades.
To make this process a little easier for the child, you can select an adult sim, click on the child and pick “Help with Homework”. Not only does this let the two characters bond, but it’ll help the child sim finish their homework quicker.
The Sims 4 is available to play on PC, Mac, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 through the official website . If you’d like to learn more about the game, check out our Wants and Fears Guide and How to Download the Wicked Whims Mod in The Sims 4 .

How to Do Homework in 'Sims 4': Guide to speeding it up and why 'Sims' homework matters
![how do u make your sim do homework how do u make your sim do homework](https://imgix.bustle.com/mic/9cngf17vzpdut4ausnd3yra1o5hp2qtalm3jdhrbxakymqxmfiknwyqhadctorxb.jpg?w=220&h=126&fit=crop&crop=faces&q=50&dpr=2)
Sometimes in The Sims 4 , you might not feel like making a sexy vampire , trying to get a ghost pregnant or using cheat codes to get unlimited money (or to make your Sims die of embarrassment). No, sometimes you just want to raise a virtual child into a good, productive member of Sim society. To that end, you must make sure they do their homework and do well in school.
If you want your Sims 4 child to be a real overachiever, there are a few tips and tricks you can use to make sure your Sim grows up to be the gibberish-spewing adult you can really be proud of.
How to do homework in Sims 4 : What homework does
Accordin g to Carl's Sims 4 Guide Community poster Pam Marsden , homework is part of the equation in getting your child Sim to get an A in their studies. Homework is a bit like a career for a Sim child, and normally takes a little over an hour and a half of game time to complete.
By doing homework, you help raise that Sim's bar faster. Eventually you'll gain access to extra credit once your child has a B grade in school, which allows you to raise your bar even faster.
How to do homework in Sims 4 : Why it matters
Children, much like the adult Sims they become, have skills that can increase in level as you play. For children, these four skills are Mental, Social, Creativity and Motor.
Although you'll need to increase at least one of these skills to level two in order for that Sim to get a B in their studies, it's well worth it to invest the time into maxing some of those skills. For every childhood skill you get to level 10, your Sim gets a 70% boost to the rate at which they complete homework. Max all four for a 208% boost!
In addition, each child skill you max out gives you access to a few adult skills, so your virtual child can get a head start on their adult development.
How to do homework in Sims 4 : How to speed up the process
In addition to maxing out childhood skills for a boost to their homework productivity, you can also enlist your adult Sims in their child's development, assuming they're related. Once a child has started doing their homework, you can have one of their parents assist them by clicking on the child.
As previously stated, homework normally takes about an hour and a half to complete, but with parental assistance, that time is cut in half. If you combined that with the bonuses from maxing the childhood skills, your Sims will be completing their homework at a seriously fast rate. Adults can also help their children with the extra credit work they unlock after completing their normal homework with a B. So take advantage of that.
Manage your time and skills training effectively, and your Sims will be more than prepared for high school and beyond.

Food stall basics, how to run a food stall in home chef hustle.
The Sims 4 has never shied away from food-based items in its expansions, and Home Chef Hustle marks a valiant return to Stuff Packs. Among other additions that came with the pack, your Sims are now able to step behind the counter and run their very own food stall to sell their culinary creations.
![how do u make your sim do homework The Grim Reaper and a friendly sim eating chocolate cupcakes in The Sims 4.](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/the-sims-4-baking-skill-featured-image.jpg)

![how do u make your sim do homework Starting to sell waffles in The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle at a food stall.](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2024/08/starting-to-sell-waffles-in-the-sims-4-home-chef-hustle-at-a-food-stall.jpg)
What Can You Sell, And How Do You Sell It?
Before you can run a food stand in The Sims 4: Home Chef Hustle , you'll need to purchase an actual food stall itself. The Anywhere Any Fare Food Stand is available for 585 Simoleons and comes in a variety of colors, woods, and designs, so experiment with the design tool and see what speaks to your Sim and their brand.
Once you own the food stand, place it in your Sim's inventory . Then, you can either sell from your home lot to attract customers from the neighborhood or choose to travel with the food stand and set up shop on a public lot to sell in a more populated area. Customers tend to pop by regardless, but your sales from there are up to you.
Avid Simmers are likely to have multiple packs that include unique food items coming from countertop appliances, and these players will be happy to know that food from various packs that's prepared in a countertop appliance are available to sell with the Home Chef Hustle stuff pack .
The baked goods introduced with the Baking skill in Get to Work offer a new way to run a bakery with the food stall in Home Chef Hustle, while items like popcorn or ice cream from other stuff packs are available for sale, too.
![how do u make your sim do homework A Sim preparing dough to use at the food stall in Home Chef Hustle.](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2024/08/a-sim-preparing-dough-to-use-at-the-food-stall-in-home-chef-hustle.jpg)
Prep Ingredients Beforehand To Make Food Faster
By using the Ciao Bella Stand Mixer introduced in the Home Chef Hustle stuff pack, your Sim is able to prepare cooking ingredients and dough ahead of time. Doing so not only makes your food cook faster than normal, but it'll also typically end up being of a higher quality and costing less to prepare in the end, too.
Prepared ingredients go into your inventory , and you'll receive five servings of ingredients per prep. These can then be used in your regular cooking, but dishes can still be prepared without these ingredients if you're willing to sacrifice quality and cash for speed.
Just make sure they end up in a refrigerator before long so they don't spoil! Sims originally used to eat prepared ingredients when you told them to get leftovers before, but this has been patched since launch, so ingredients can safely be stored to prolong their shelf life.
Bring Countertop Appliances To Cook On-Site
In the Home Chef Hustle pack, you're able to put countertop appliance cookware into your inventory , which allows you to then prep more food on-site if you need to. These items include the pizza oven, waffle maker, microwave ovens , as well as the tools to prep more ingredients if you run out.
![how do u make your sim do homework A Sim making prepared ingredients with the stand mixer in The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle.](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wm/2023/10/a-sim-making-several-different-prepped-ingredients-in-the-sims-4-home-chef-hustle-appliance-wiz-aspiration.jpg)
It's best to prepare as much as you can ahead of time and set the food out when you set up the stand, but if you sell out and aren't ready to close up shop for the day, doing this allows you to replenish your sold-out meals as you go and continue selling without pause.
Give Your Sim The Best Traits
There are a few ways to make sure your Sim has a leg up during these timed Food Sale events in The Sims 4: Home Chef Hustle, including boosting their Charisma skill beforehand to make them better at chatting with potential customers, and buying the Marketable trait from the Rewards Store to increase the limit on your markups.
Additionally, The Sims 4: High School Years expansion pack brought the Entrepreneur skill into the mix, which helps your Sim to market themselves and their product. If you have the expansion pack, not only will you have those new foods available to sell, but you can have your Sim build their Entrepreneur skill to help their food stall business in Home Chef Hustle.
Finally, if you complete the Appliance Wiz aspiration that came with the Home Chef Hustle pack, you'll receive the Batch Cook trait , which allows your Sim to duplicate food they made with prepared ingredients , allowing them to stock their food stall easier than ever before!

| Items that count for this aspiration are the following items from the ChowBella brand:
|
| Have your Sim become inspired and then prepare ingredients, ultimately collecting five portions. | |
Slice and Dicer |
| Use prepared ingredients to hasten your cooking five times. |
| You'll need to do a bit of gardening for this one, but fresh fruit and veg are always the tastiest! | |
Flavor Fusionist |
| As you improve your Cooking skill, you'll make higher-quality ingredients. |
| Of the eight prepared ingredients types, cook with six of them. | |
| Pop a stereo in the kitchen and jam out while you prep! | |
Mixing Maestro |
| You'll need to reach Handiness Level 4 to begin upgrading the stand mixer. |
|
| |
| Keep your food stall going after you've finished the event, and keep prepping food. |
It involves some extra skill gains in Gardening and Handiness, but the Batch Cook reward trait in The Sims 4: Home Chef Hustle is well worth the work!

The Sims 4: Best Features In Every Stuff Pack Released So Far
Stuff Packs have given fans of The Sims 4 wildly different offerings, and here we look at the best features each DLC package has given us so far.

Put Down The Food Stall And Open Up Shop
After purchasing your food stand and the small appliances you'll need to operate, it's time to open for business. To do so, place the food stand from your Sim's inventory . Once you've found a good spot to set up shop, click "Open" on the stall.
This brings up the shop's inventory , which should be empty when you begin, alongside your Sim's inventory . Here, you can drag food between your inventory and the store's inventory to mark dishes for sale.
You can also choose a markup for your items of up to 300 percent of their original cost, but beware that expensive goods are less likely to sell , so weigh your popularity and product quality before deciding on a markup. The Marketable trait allows you to instead go up to a 500 percent markup.
Having items in your inventory is helpful for keeping a constant supply, but beware that food spoils quickly in your inventory , so be sure to mark it for sale as soon as you can for maximum freshness.
After your inventory is set, click the stand again to Start Food Sale . This triggers a five-hour scored event during which your Sim will be hawking their goods to any passers-by at their chosen location.
Sell Actively And Keep Your Table Stocked
If Sims are milling about but aren't buying anything, your Sim can interact with potential customers to give sales pitches or try to convince them to buy a certain product . Not only is this helpful if Sims are loitering a bit too much, it also gives you the option to nudge customers toward certain dishes as you see fit (such as ones with big markups).
![how do u make your sim do homework A Sim easting food from a food stall in The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle.](https://static1.thegamerimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/sims-4-home-chef-hustle-sims-eating-from-a-food-stall-selling-baked-goods.jpg)
If food starts to run out, you can enable AutoStocking to convince your Sim to replenish the table automatically with food from their inventory.
But, if your inventory is looking light, you'll need to use your countertop appliances mid-sale to prep more food on-site . Using the equipment doesn't stop your Sim from making sales with the current goods, so feel free to cook as you need without fear of missing a sale on what you've currently got in stock.
Just be wary of tending a food stand in inclement weather, as some appliances become broken when using them in the rain.
