In ''[[The Sims 2]]'', ''[[The Sims Stories]]'', ''[[The Sims 3]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', [[child]]ren and [[teen]]s get '''homework''' on [[school]] days. Homework comes in the form of a school notebook, with differing covers depending on the student's [[life stage]]{{Vgversion|TS2}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} and the {{Clarify|number of days that have passed.|since when?}}{{Vgversion|TS2}} Homework can be completed at a desk or on the floor, and will usually take a Sim hour to complete. Failing to complete homework generally results in bad grades.
In ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]'', students young adult and above are also given homework after each class.
In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', children and teens will have homework in their hands after they get off the school bus. If possible, they will put the assignment on or by a desk, and seem to prefer the first desk that was placed in the house, even if it is in an illogical or inaccessible location.<ref group="n">A [https://modthesims.info/d/312004/quot-put-your-homework-away-properly-quot.html mod] on [[Mod The Sims]] remedies this issue by forcing Sims to place their homework at a player-defined location, rather than at random.</ref> If a student has unfinished homework, he or she will put the new homework on top of it. The player can tell the student to put the homework down by canceling the "Go to School" icon. Homework can be moved in buy and build modes, though it cannot be deleted. A child's homework will be brightly colored, while a teen's homework will be plainly colored.
== The Sims 2 ==▼
▲In ''The Sims 2'', clicking on the homework allows the player to have the Sim do his or her homework, or to ask an older Sim for help. If an older household member is selected, clicking on the homework allows that Sim to offer to help the student with his or her homework. A child or teen who is being helped with homework will finish it faster, and will gain the [[Memories|memory]] of being taught to study, which will allow them to do homework more quickly. If ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]'' is installed, students will do homework faster in the [[Weather#Autumn/Fall|fall]], or after drinking [[Juices#Recipes|apple juice]].
Sims can do homework while seated at a desk or sitting down on the ground. There does not appear to be any difference in completion speed depending on how the Sim is seated. If ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]'' is installed, Sims cannot do homework that is placed in an [[apartment]]'s communal area.
Doing -- or not doing -- homework will affect a student's grades. A student who goes to school in a good mood with all homework done will gain a letter grade. Students will not be penalized for going to school with one piece of homework undone, but going to school with more than one piece of homework undone may cause their grades to drop.▼
Sims will not usually get distracted while doing homework, unless their motives are low. They are more likely to get distracted if they are being helped by an older Sim. It is usually best to ensure that both the student and the mentor are in a good [[mood]] prior to beginning the interaction, and that no other interactions are in their queue until the homework has been completed.
▲
Sims may have a [[want]] to do homework. This want will be fulfilled when they complete a piece of homework. This want will be fulfilled even if the homework they complete belongs to another Sim.
[[Young adult]]s in [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]] do not receive homework, but can optionally do [[Class_performance#Assignments_and_term_papers|assignments]] in order to improve their class performance.
If a teen has unfinished homework when he or she is sent to college or becomes an [[adult]], it will disappear.
== The Sims 3 ==

On school days, children and teens will come home with homework in their [[inventory]]. This is unlike ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', where they would place the homework down. They can simply "Do Homework" on their own, "Do Homework With..." another friend of their age group, or "Get Help From" an older Sim on the lot. Sims can also do someone else's homework, or copy someone's homework if that person already did it, although this can cause after school detention. Sims may stop doing homework if they are [[hunger|hungry]], tired, have the "Stressed" moodlet, or have a low [[bladder]] meter. Sims with [[bookworm]] and [[workaholic]] traits, as well as [[logic]] skill get homework done faster, and the [[library]] is a good place to study. The level of logic skill does not increase the rate of finishing homework; only one skill point in Logic is necessary. In ''Supernatural'', vampires also do homework faster than normal Sims, and witches may magically finish it in a matter of seconds with a chance of being [[Singed]]. Homework is a hidden skill.
Students who skip homework or do not
In ''[[The Sims 3: Generations|Generations]]'', children can bury their homework in the sandbox, but will receive a bad grade for doing so.

Once Sims become a child or teen on-screen, they will automatically receive a homework book appropriate for their life stage in their inventory, whether or not they have attended school in the past. Children will have a yellow book labeled "Grade School Homework" while teens will receive a blue book simply labeled "Homework". When a student receives a B or above from school, they will be given the option "Do Extra Credit" if they have finished the homework by clicking again on their individual homework books. Children have the ability to receive help from adults. Unlike previous games, children who neglect their homework still have a fair shot at keeping their school performance high by completing other tasks such as maintaining certain moods or building skills. If a player's Sim misplaces a homework book or ages up to a child or teen off-screen, they can purchase a new homework book for §1 from a bookcase, or simply use another Sim's homework book. Unlike previous games, a homework book is not tied to a particular Sim.
If all four of a child Sim's skills ([[Creativity (The Sims 4)|creativity]], [[mental]], [[motor]], [[Social (skill)|social]]) are at least level 3, "Do Homework" changes to "Breeze Through Homework", meaning the Sim is already skilled and can complete the homework more quickly. With all four skills at level 7, this changes again to "Dominate Homework," and the homework can be completed even more quickly. This speed boost is not available to teen Sims.
Homework is given to young adult sims and older in ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]''. Students must complete homework before every class to achieve high grades. Although failure to do so may impact a sim’s performance at university, homework is not essential. Sims that miss their homework can make up for it by studying extra hours, or edit their term papers to be outstanding quality. However to get the highest grades, it is recommended that university students finish homework before each class.
Like with school homework, a new university homework book can be purchased from any bookcase or university kiosk. Homework of any type can be completed 50% faster on lots with the “Study Spot” [[lot trait]].
== Notes ==
▲Students who skip homework or do not get it completed on time will receive a bad mark in the Homework area of their school performance (This can be found in the 'School' section of the Sims' [[Simology]] panel.)Students who complete their homework on time get a good mark in this section. However, homework can be finished while at school using the "Work on Late Homework" option. Good students grow up to be good adults, so it is important that young Sims maintain good grades and the player is rewarded if they do by being able to choose a new trait when the sim ages up.
