Just click on the homework again and it will show up. Extra Credit Work becomes available after completing the regular homework if the child has at least a B grade. The homework will be in the child's personal inventory at the time of aging up, so you can get a head start on school if you wish. Having the parent help with homework cuts the time in half. Unassisted homework takes a little over 1 1/2 hours to complete. It's possible for grades to fall if the minimum amount of work is not done, which is to go to school every day and complete homework.Ī parent can help with homework by clicking on the child once he/she has started working on it. Once the kid has an 'A', it's fairly easy to maintain. To reach a grade of A, the child must Get 1 Skill to Level 4. Once the tasks have been completed and the meter bar goes all the way green to the right, the child will get an increase in grade. Completing Homework is the daily task, which functions a bit like a Career. This will give a moodlet that lasts for four hours, which is enough to accomplish the task. The easiest way to get into the ideal mood of Focused is to ponder moves on a Chess table just before going to School. To reach a grade of B, the tasks are to reach level 2 in 1 of the 4 available skills (Creativity, Mental, Motor, and Social), and Attend School while Focused. There will be tasks for each level working toward getting an A. Just like in The Sims 3, the Make Friends option will add other children to the child's relationship panel, while also repleneshing the social need. While at school, the child will have the options for Normal, Leave School Early, Make Friends, Study Hard, and Slack Off. A Sim will be a Child for 7 days on the Short lifespan, 14 days on Normal lifespan, and 52 days on Long lifespan.Ĭhildren will start Grade School on the first weekday after aging up to Child. For example, Art Lover is a good trait to pair with Artistic Prodigy. Of course, it's a good idea to choose a trait that goes well with the Aspiration. There are 4 Aspirations to choose from: Artistic Prodigy, Rambunctious Scamp, Social Butterfly, and Whiz Kid. Once a toddler ages up to child, the player will be able to choose a Childhood Aspiration and one Trait.

They will keep you busy, though, so be ready! Their interactions are cute and this helps to make up for the absence of toddlers in the game. There is much more to raising a child than in Sims 3 and I personally find them to be much more enjoyable. In this article, I will explain how to successfully raise a child in Sims 4.
