Why Is Doing Homework Important in The Sims 4?

It seems that no matter where you are, homework is an unavoidable part of life. Even your Sims can’t escape it. While boring, homework is an essential part of your younger Sim’s development and will help them land great jobs when they’re older. However, understanding how to do homework in The Sims 4 can be pretty tricky.

In this article, we’ll provide a detailed guide on how to do homework in Sims 4, and outline the benefits of performing the task.

How you perform homework actually 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

If you’re struggling to get your teen Sim to do homework in The Sims 4, follow these steps:

• Send your teen to school.
• When they return home, check their inventory. 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. 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

If you have the ‘Discover University’ expansion pack installed, here’s how you can get your Sim to do their homework:

• Have your Sim go to class.
• When they return, open the character’s inventory. There should be a homework book.
• Click on the homework book to start the action. If your Sim takes multiple classes, you’ll have to choose which homework to do. 
• Repeat until all homework is done.

Sims who have enrolled at university will have much more homework than other Sims because they will attend multiple classes. It’s a good idea to get each piece of homework done before the next class, as this will lead to bigger XP rewards and better progress at university. 

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.

You may be wondering why doing homework is so important in Sims 4. Well, it actually has a number of benefits.

By doing homework, your Sim will perform better at school, leading to better school grades. This will ultimately result in better job opportunities and higher wages. Additionally, you’ll be able to unlock several achievements by performing well at school.

There’s everything that you need to know about doing homework in The Sims 4. At first, figuring out how to do homework can be a little confusing, as the game doesn’t offer much direction. But, once you get the hang of it, you’ll be on top of your Sim’s homework in no time.

My adult sim won't help their child with homework.

When I go to make my adult sim help her child with homework as the child is working on it, the option simply isn't there. I remember being able to before I took a six month long break that I ended just yesterday. I really need her to help her child with homework, otherwise she can't complete her aspiration!

I have no idea what to do, and I have no clue what caused the bug. The mom is permanently stuck on this little aspiration level (help child with homework 3 times) until the bug is fixed or I can figure out a way to force her to help with homework by some obscure trick.

@Lilac1606 Please use this thread for the toddler issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sims-can-t-help-toddlers-to-potty-or-play-blocks/t...

Could you edit this post to just be about the homework issue ?

For me that still works fine. Did you make the Child do homework and then click with the mom on the child ?

You can cheat the aspiration level with: aspiration.complete_current_milestone

@crinrict Edited the post to get rid of toddler stuff.

Yes, I did the child do homework and then click with the mom on the child.

@Lilac1606 Did you try if it's limited to this Sim or if others have issues too ?

@Lilac1606 Are you still having issues with this ?

November 2021

I'm having the same issue, and I wonder if it's because the kid is a genius and doesn't need the help.

@IrishFire Does it work with a child that isn't a genius ?

November 2021

I'm not sure! This is the first time I've picked up the game on this new machine, and the family's first kid.

It did start spontaneously working, when it didn't before, and it only works when the child is already doing homework.  They can't ask for homework help, and the parent can't offer it unless homework is already in progress.

@IrishFire yes, that's how it works.
