This may also happen if the child goes to school in a very good mood and with high aspiration. Normally, a Sim's grade will increase from C to C+ on the first day of school, but it may increase to B+ if the Sim's first school day is not also his or her first day as a child. Having an older Sim help the younger Sim with homework will let them complete the task faster in future, and they will gain the memory of learning to study.

Both children and teens get the weekend off, and both ages get homework which needs to be done in order to maintain and improve grades. The shorter hours for high school are for the benefit of teens who may also have a part-time job. Since military school is only mentioned, and never appears in the game, children sent there are never seen again.Ĭhildren attend elementary school (primary school) from 9 AM to 3 PM, and teens attend high school (secondary school) from 9 AM to 1 PM. (Upon examination of the bookshelf using a hacking program, it is revealed that the presence of the bookshelf is what triggers the reward.)Ĭhildren whose grades linger at F for several consecutive days are first given a warning, then banished to military school. Since children don't grow up, the only eventual reward for good grades is a 100 Simoleon reward from their relatives. A baby who becomes a child after 8 AM will not be penalized for missing school, as the bus will not come for them until the next day.Ĭhildren can boost grades by studying from books or at a computer, but do not get homework. A child who misses the school bus will lose a full grade level. However, they can skip a day by missing the school bus, though this usually requires player intervention. Children attend school every day from 9AM to 3PM, as there are no weekends in The Sims.
