From classroom behavior to homework completion, every choice matters. Sims can experience the thrill of academic success or the challenges of detention. School is no longer just about grades; it’s about personal growth and development.

Pros:

  • Actively Participate (Study Hard) – this Mod Education Overhaul activity will increase skills, school performance, and boost character value (Empathy, Manners, and Responsibility), but decrease the fun
  • Attend Club Meetings – boosts character value (Responsibility and Conflict Resolution), and fulfills fun and social needs
  • Participate in Group Work – helps them build skills, increases character value (Responsibility and Conflict Resolution), increases fun and social needs, but slows down performance gain
  • Take Notes – boosts school performance, skill gain, and Responsibility character value, but decreases fun
  • University Prep – boosts school performance, skill gain, and Responsibility character value, but decreases fun (available for teens only)

Cons: With Mod Education Overhaul, the worse their grades are, the higher the chance of actually getting detention. Getting these too often can even get them kicked out, in which case, your only option will be to enroll them in an alternative school:

  • Be Disruptive – this will lower school performance, decrease character value (Responsibility, Manners, and Emotional Control), and increase chance of getting detention, but increase fun
  • Copy Homework – helps them finish homework faster, decreases character value (Manners and Responsibility), and can make them get detention.
  • Good Around (Irresponsible) – lowers school performance, and character value (Responsibility, Manners, and Emotional Control), but increases the fun
  • Sleep During Class – will decrease character value (Manners and Responsibility), give them a chance for detention, but increase energy

ENGAGING ASSIGNMENTS AND PROJECTS

Education Overhaul adds a layer of excitement and challenge to school life with the introduction of random assignments and projects. These tasks, assigned weekly, offer opportunities for extra credit and a break from traditional homework.

Ranging from academic pursuits like writing essays or studying for exams to creative endeavors like painting or coding, these projects encourage a well-rounded education. Unlike standard homework, these assignments require hands-on participation and often involve exploring the world outside the classroom.

It’s important to note that completing these projects is crucial for maintaining good grades. Failure to meet deadlines may negatively impact a Sim’s academic performance. While these assignments may overlap with Parenthood’s school projects, they offer unique challenges and rewards.
