Afterschool activity

In The Sims 3: Generations, children and teens can enroll themselves (or be enrolled by a guardian) in after-school classes and activities, either by entering the school or by using a computer.

Once enrolled in an after-school class, students will spend an extra 2 hours in school (days depending on their after school class), learning a special set of skills. Students (or their guardians) can quit the class either by visiting the school or by using a computer.

The after-school class will end when teen Sims are about to age up. There will be an award ceremony at the school which all of the teens' household members are supposed to attend. They will be given an award which can be found in the Sim's inventory.

For children, after-school classes end well before their birthday and there is also an award ceremony. Once an after-school class has ended, children will have no option to take the same after-school class again.

Ballet
Ballet students will learn ballet techniques which they can show off.

There will eventually be a ballet recital at the school and the students' parents will also attend.

Scouting
Scouts will learn how to fish, garden, tie a knot, and how to salute. Scouts also earn badges which they can show off and use them as wall decorations. Boys and girls appear to share the same scouting regiment.

After-school Classes for Teenagers
Teen Sims cannot have part time jobs which has the same time slot as their after-school classes. The only exception is Mausoleum Clerk as the job starts at 6pm and after-school classes ends at 4pm.

After-school class Opportunities
There will be several after-school class opportunities, especially when the classes are about to end.
