School Grades

Post by Abby »

How much harder is it in this game to get kids a good grade at school, especially as a child?! Having 2 skills as level 4 is a huge requirement to just get away from a C?

As with alot of other aspects of the game, i guess it does make it more realistic, and harder but maaaan. I barely ever have any kids in my legacy get above a C in school.

The first level isn't too bad - the skills level fairly quickly. But the next level is 4 skills at level 4 plus a friend or something like that. Most of my kids were able to get a B but the As were rare.

Ugh, I find them near impossible. Especially if you are trying to do that and the aspiration that gets them an extra trait.

Yeah, that is awful.

Seeing that, I can only imagine the new horrors we'll have to live when we finally get toddlers back.

After some trial and error I did manage to get all three of my gen 3 kids to A's as children and teens. As for Gen 4.... since there isn't really any point in going to school as a child, the first-born's only gone once. Grandma's happy to write her excuse notes, although apparently you can't do that every day. Still testing that out.

It's from the writing skill, level 3 I think!

Wow, didnt know about the excuse notes! Ill have to look into that. :P
I guess as i play my legacy more, and we get more money and such it may be easier. None of my kids this generation have gotten above a C. I just find there isnt enough time to do both aspiration, school and keep their needs up. I guess i kinda like it though, this game is alot more challenging and i like it!

Is there any point beyond lifetime aspirations? In Sims3 if they had bad grades you couldn't choose the trait or they had a random negative one. In Sims4 it seems to make no difference later on in life.

For a child, unless you're in the Whiz Kid line it makes no difference at all. For a teen, if you get an A, you start at level 3 of a career instead of level 1. That's about all I know.

Adult Sims with the Successful Lineage Aspiration need to have a child with an A, too.
