In all games, the outdoor temperature has an effect on a Sim's internal temperature; if Sims become too hot, they can cool down by going [[swimming]] or grabbing a cold drink, while Sims who are getting too cold can warm up by changing into [[outerwear]]. In all cases, going indoors will help them cool off or warm up. Sims that get too hot may faint from heatstroke or get [[sunburn]]ed, while Sims that get too cold may freeze and collapse. |

Grades can be boosted by doing various forms of activities during free time. These include studying from books, completing tasks, and raising [[skill]]s. Sims will get [[homework]] after school days, and failing to complete them generally results in bad grades. In ''The Sims 3'' and ''The Sims 4'', players can also assign tasks for the Sim to do during school. They vary from sleeping in classes, working harder than usual, or just gaining more friends. |

The outdoor temperature also a has a profound effect on Sims' lives. Colder temperatures will produce visible frost and cause bodies of water to freeze over, and precipitation will come in the form of [[snow]] if it is cold enough.

In ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims 4'', real-world temperature units are not used to determine the temperature, and instead a scale ranging from -100 to 100—with the former being the coldest and the latter being the hottest—is used. ''The Sims 3'' is the only game to use real-world temperature units like Celsius and Fahrenheit. |

School is where children and teenagers attend to get education during those life stages. School appears in all of The Sims series, except in The Sims Castaway Stories. The school bus takes children and teens to and from school. In the first two games and The Sims 4, the school is located off-screen and is not visible to the player, just like careers. In The Sims 3, the school is a rabbit hole building.
Children and teenagers attend school on weekdays and are free from it during weekends (expect for The Sims, in which weekends don't exist). School days usually last for around 4 to 7 hours, depending on the game. Children in school will have grades, that work similarly to job performance of careers. Grades can be boosted by doing various forms of activities during free time. These include studying from books, completing tasks, and raising skills. Sims will get homework after school days, and failing to complete them generally results in bad grades. In The Sims 3 and The Sims 4, players can also assign tasks for the Sim to do during school. They vary from sleeping in classes, working harder than usual, or just gaining more friends.
Other forms education alongside normal schools exist for children and teenagers to attend. In The Sims, children whose grades linger at F for several consecutive days are first given a warning, then banished to military school. In The Sims 2, Sims can attend private school if they have a minimum grade of C. In The Sims 3: Generations, children and teens can be sent to a boarding school and take a class after school.
