The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories have Job Performance (School Performance for Children and Teens) and shows the bar in the career tab. Performance affects Jobs. For example, low performance may result in demotions or even being fired while high performance will result in promotions.

A Sim's job or school performance reflects how well he or she is doing at work or school. The performance meter can be found in the career section.

The Sims

Indications of performance are rather basic in The Sims. Children have grades. Adults have five job performance levels, labeled Dismal, Poor, Average, Good, and Excellent. There are no performance bars or meters, as there are in later games.

This section is in need of additional information. You can help The Sims Wiki by expanding this section.

The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories

The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories have Job Performance (School Performance for Children and Teens) and shows the bar in the career tab. Performance affects Jobs. For example, low performance may result in demotions or even being fired while high performance will result in promotions.

However, being fired in The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 Pets Console games is based on days missed. It does not have a performance bar like the Windows versions of The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories.

The Sims 3

The performance meter in The Sims 3.

One performance meter that is always there is the mood 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:

  • Horrifying
  • Foul
  • Bad
  • Normal
  • Great
  • Excellent
  • Outstanding.

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 moodlets. Other performance meters are affected by what they do and what they should do but didn't, like homework.

The Bar

Like 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 Sims 3 Manual mentions this, it is not mentioned in the game when the mouse is on the performance bar like The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories did.
