Sims 3 what happens if you skip school

Children and teens may bring home friends of their age after school. They can also be invited over to another student's house to play. Students who go to each other's houses will live within a reasonable distance from each other. The closer the other student, the more likely the invitation is.

Children also bring home homework every school day; failure to complete homework will result in them being penalized, and they may receive a detention. If a child or teen does not have a high performance at school, the player will not be able to choose their new trait when they grow up.

For the Sim to have good grades, they need to be at school on time every day, and must complete any assigned homework. Both children and teens will occasionally be given the opportunity to go on a field trip. The player will be asked if they consent to the student going on the field trip.

If the player consents, the student will attend school as normal, but will be taken out of class during the day and driven to a rabbit hole somewhere in the world , along with a few other students of their age and their teacher. Dialogue notifications will occasionally appear while the class trip is inside, although the player has no control over the outcome of the field trip. After the field trip concludes, the Sim may receive a souvenir in their inventory.

If the Sim had any afterschool activities, they will be excused from them, but will not be excused from part-time jobs. If the school has been deleted then children and teens will stop going to school. This is the only way to not go to school, and is only possible in Windows and macOS as consoles do not have the ability. Also, if the player is controlling one ghost teen or child, they might not be signed up for a school.

However, if the school is deleted then children and teens appear to be forced age up badly because they haven't been to school, but if an adult with a high enough logic skill tutors them, their grade can go up, and allow them to age up well without having to go to school. If Generations is installed, children and teens can be enrolled into boarding school or an afterschool activity.

Teens can also attempt to prank the school after hours. If a meteor hits a school, then all sims attending will die. Schools make a come-back in The Sims 4 , but not as rabbitholes like in The Sims 3. They're like jobs, as Sims will walk towards their lot's spawn point and disappear until school for that day is over. In order for a child or teen sims to improve their grades, they'll have to go to school with a positive emotion Focused is suggested as it says so in the school panel , completing their homework , doing extra credit work, working hard at class, and get extra performance boost from chance cards that randomly pop up while the Sim is still at school.

These chance cards may give a large performance boost, a medium performance boost, a small performance boost, and the same goes for performance losses. School starts at am and ends at pm, and if the Sim doesn't show up for school as expected, at around am, their principal will call the Sim who is missing school and inform them that if they keep missing school, their grades will suffer.

Even though the Sim is considered missing school by then, they can still be sent to school by selecting the Sim, clicking on them, and selecting "Go To School" for kids or "Go To High School" for teens.

Also, while at school, Sims cannot get mortified, hysterical, be taken away, or starved to death. The needs that the Sim gains while at school are, social, fun if slacking off , hunger, and bladder. There are no disadvantages when a teen or a child has the lowest grade possible, except from an embarrassed moodlet. If a child with the socially gifted trait , or a teen reach enough mischief skill, they can have a partner in crime, and plan with them to do mischievous things at school such as throwing geeks at the lockers, flooding the school, fill the class with plastic water cups, etc.

To reach grade B they'll need to get one skill at level 2 at one skill and to reach grade A the Sim must get level 4 at one skill Level 3 for teenagers. The homework will be at the child's inventory and can be ordered from the bookshelf. When the child ages to teen, the grade school homework will be replaced with High School homework in their inventory and as before, can be purchased from the bookshelf.

A child or teen with grade B and up has a new interaction on the homework after finishing homework called "Do Extra Credit Work", which grands more performance gain from just doing homework. It's a shame that she can't go to school even though I hate that option so much. It just lightens the load for me a little bit. Go to Solution. I actually fixed it somehow because I kept on constantly having to reset my sims, but it never told me she was late for school which was weird.

I ended up deleting all of my old saves and clearing out the screenshot folder for whatever reason and it seemed to have worked? Maybe one of the older saves was corrupted or something. View in thread. Thank you for moving it. I wasn't sure if some bugs can be mac specific since I don't know much about computers.

MomoStark , there can be a couple of things going on here that I can think of. First, did you get any notifications that the child was actually late for shcool? Did the principal call you child on the phone to tell them they were late? If you look on the panel that you shoudl be able to click on her to go to school does it say how long it will be until school starts for her? This should be in the upper right of that panel.

It will usually say something like Class in 15 hours, or 3 days till school, etc. What does your panel say in this area? I think this might be happening since you aged your toddler up during the day. It sounds like this child might have most likely glitched during either the ageing up or maybe when you had them take a vacation day. If a toddler is aged too during shcool hours or very late at night, they won't go to school the next day, but the panel should say so.

It will be even longer if the child aged late at night on Thursday or in the middle of the day on Friday. If this wasn't the same proceedure with Macs, I would think Bluebellflora would have not moved your post here, so I will include how to do this:.

Wait until Origin finishes repairing all your packs and not just the base game. There would be more instuctions on how to find the faulty Mod or CC , but since you dont' want to use Mods anymore, I won't include that! And you don't need to move back an empty Mods folder as the game will generate a new empty one when you start it up again. I don't know if this is the same bug, but my children started doing this too And I found out that all the kids in town skip, too!

That's because in my case school bell rings prematurely times during the school day , effectively dismissing all pupils even though career metter decreases which proves that school is still on.

Manually sending the kids back to school does the job, they stay in until the next untimely bell but they have to write a new homework each time they go back! This situation doesn't seem to pass, and proper timing is the only thing that keeps the children on the honor roll. Welcome to our Forum, Sculpur! What you describe is almost exactly what was happening to me when I first started this topic.

I don't know why, but it hasn't been a problem for quite a while now. I was hoping that EA had fixed the bug, but if you're still having the same problem, apparently they haven't. Beware of mods. Our official stand is that we don't recommend or encourage their use. They can be very risky and there's a good chance they can really mess up your game. We really don't recommend them and don't allow them to be discussed or linked on the forum.

There is a sim child in my current game that absolutely refuses to attend school. I don't know what to do and it is driving me crazy!

He goes off on the bus and when I check on him, he's playing on the swings. It will take only 2 minutes to fill in. Cookies on GOV.
