Line 18 ⟶ 19:
For school performance, the Sim's grades are shown above the bar. For Sims with jobs, the number of family friends the household has is shown beneath the bar. If the household has fewer family friends than the Sim needs to be promoted, the difference will be shown in parentheses. However, once a Sim has reached the top of a [[Career tracks|career track]], the number of family friends is no longer shown.
 
If a Sim is demoted, or fired via [[chance card]], and a [[carpool]] is already waiting for another Sim to get in, the demoted / fired Sim may get out of the carpool, instead of the game summoning another carpool.

Line 24 ⟶ 25:
 
:"''It's hard to get up and head to work day after day, but a light heart and a smile can make a big difference. Leaving the house in a good mood will have a positive effect on your Sims' performance as a whole and increase their chances of getting promoted. Missing work will hurt your Sims' job performance which can lead to demotions or even job loss.''"
 
This is the message that's displayed when hovering the mouse over the Friends' smiley face icon.
 
:"''Networking and making friends is vital to any career. The first number is the number of family friends your Sim has. The second number in parentheses is the number of additional family friends your Sim needs in order to be promoted.''"

{{cleanup|2=section}}[[File:Sim performance.jpg|thumb|400px|The performance meter in ''The Sims 3''.]]
One performance meter that is always there is the [[mood|performance]]performance bar. It reflects a Sim's mood more accurately than the mood meter. Other performance meters will exist based on what the Sim's current job is, e.g. a student will have a homework performance meter.
The performance meter uses 7 different smilies to represent a Sim's performance. Their order is, from left to right:
 
*<span style="background:#FF0000; color:white">Horrifying </span>
*<span style="background:#FF5900">Foul </span>
*<span style="background:#FFA700">Bad </span>

===Factors that affect performance===
There are different factors that affect the performance meter. The always-present meter, for example, is heavily affected by a Sim's mood and [[moodlet]]s. Other performance meters are affected by what they do and what they should do but didn't, like homework.
===ThePerformance Barbar===
{{Anchor|The Bar}}
As in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', there is also a performance bar. As in ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'', Sims will get promoted if the bar is filled (Green) or get demoted or even fired when low (Red). Although the manual for ''The Sims 3'' mentions this, the game does not mention it when the mouse is on the performance bar.
 
==The Sims 4==
Job performance appears in ''[[The Sims 4]]''. It is affected by the activities of the Sim during work, their relationships with co-workers, and the Sim's current [[mood]]. Having excellent performance is required for a promotion, as well as promotion tasks being completed. If a Sim's performance is very poor, they can get demoted.
 
Schools in ''The Sims 4'' uses the same job performance concept, wherein the student Sim's performance is affected by relationships with classmates, current activity, and mood. If the said student comes out of school with below average performance, their principal will phone home about it. Like regular careers, if the Sim's performance is very poor, they can lose a grade.
