The Sims 4 Discover University FAQ

Frequently asked questions and answers about the new expansion.

Discover University releases November 15 for PC and December 17 for Xbox One and Playsttion 4 consoles.

The Sims 4 developers held a Q&A session with Game Changers and have provided us a lot of details about how systems work in Discover University. I've directly taken a few of those answers and reworded/added my own based on things I learned from the gameplay livestream, in order to help people decide if this is an Expansion they'll want.

Attending University

How can my Teen prepare for University? Teens can make themselves more eligible for distinguished degrees by getting good grades and earning skill levels. They can also apply for scholarships about a week before turning to Young Adults and can then enroll in University immediately upon age-up.

How do I pay for University. Does the Expansion include student loans? Sims do have the option of taking out student loans, which have about a 5% interest rate. Failing to pay student loans' minimum payment may result in repossession of objects from their home. Sims can also apply for Scholarships, which can be skill, need (low income), and location-based among other factors.

Can I pay my way through school? No, as it is a one-time payment at the beginning of the term. If you do not have enough money, you can take out a student loan. You could simulate paying your way through by saving up for school, just can't pay as you go. To some extent, this'd be more like real life anyway.

A student studying in Discover University.

How does applying for University work for Teens and Up? Sims can start applying to universities from about a week before they age up into a Young Adult all the way up through Elder. Your Sim's application goes to both Universities and you may choose which University and degree to pursue once your Sim gets their acceptance letter. Sims will need to apply before they can enroll in University classes, but may be offered scholarships they didn't apply for if they are accepted into enough distinguished degrees.

Where do Sims live while attending? You can choose to either live at home with your Sim's family (or on their own) and attend off-campus or choose to move into a dorm (University Housing flagged lot). Moving into a dorm will add on to the costs of tuition and may increase the amount of student loans you need to take out.

How long is a term or semester? A term requires a Sim to complete 5 weekday classes. If their first day was a Monday, they'd be done on Friday. If you started mid-week, you'd be done on the 5th weekday.

How long does it take to graduate? It takes 12 completed courses to graduate. A Sim can complete up to 4 core courses per term if they do not take an elective. Taking the max four classes, it would take 3 terms to graduate. It turns out electives do count toward the 12 you need. It can take up to 12 terms to graduate if you only took one course each term.

What's the difference between distinguished degrees and normal degrees? Distinguished degrees have higher grade (high school) and skill requirements. Sims can be turned down applying for one. There's both a normal and distinguished degree for each type. What differs is which school offers the distinguished variant - Foxbury tends to have the tech and science degrees, while Britechester has the arts and literature type degrees.

Can I be a part-time student? Yes. It's possible to choose how many classes you take, and you can attend from off-campus (in your Sim's family home).

Are there active classes or are they all rabbit-holes? All classes are rabbit holes, but there are organizations on campus that provide some activities for Sims (such as the Art, Robotics, and Debate Clubs). Outside the classroom, Sims need to prepare term papers, presentations, and study in order to do well in a class.

Do we have homework? Sims will have homework similar to high school, but also need to often complete some form of final project before the end of the term. This can be a presentation or term paper. You're provided a presentation board for the former, and can use it to practice. When your Sim writes a term paper, you'll have a general idea on its quality level.

Players can live in the new town of Britechester like normal, or attend University there either off-campus or in a dorm.

Do Sims age during University? Yes, they age normally and time passes while in University.

What happens if I switch households (or play another Sim)? Changing households while in University will see time pass normally, and the Sim will get average progress in their classes. The non-played student will need to be re-enrolled manually to resume progress toward graduation.

Can I romance professors? Professors are regular Sims, so many of the things you can do can be done with them. You may have higher success asking for extra credit by being on friendly terms but no systems are present that benefit from a romantic relationship.

What do I get for graduation? Are there extra trait slots? No extra trait slots, but Sims do get a trait indicating they are a graduate for each degree they completed. This will give them bonuses when joining career tracks that benefit from that degree. They'll start at a higher level (and may even select a branch from the get-go), get faster Paid Time Off days, and gain better work performance. Therefore, with a degree you can take more time off while also gaining promotions and overmax much faster than Sim who doesn't have a degree.

Can I return for another degree? As long as your Sim's willing to pay or eligible for scholarships, you can return to University as many times as you like.

Can I switch degrees? You can indeed switch degrees, but only between semesters (as far as I understand).

What happens if I do badly in University? You can fail individual classes and need to take them again, and may be put on academic probation if you are doing poorly in all classes.

Does Lifespan Length Matter? No. It will still take the same number of credits to finish a degree.

Can I have a job while I attend University? Yes. The game lets you, but you will still be expected to be in class during work hours. But with careful selection, you might manage to do both (for example taking a part time job that is only in the evenings. The freelancer career was proposed as a good way to do side work while attending University as well.

Britechester is home to a Secret Society.

Are there sororities/fraternities in Discover University? No. There are no fraternities, but it's possible to create a dorm where every Sim is required to be in the same organization (such as robotics club) or be of the same gender.

Can my Sims get pregnant while attending University? Your sims can get pregnant while at University, but if you're living in University Housing, you will be encouraged to move somewhere that you can better care for your child. This will not kick you out of the university classes, you will still be enrolled until the end of the term where you will be able to choose to enroll again or wait.

Dorms and Roommates

Can I build my own dorms? Yes. You can reconstruct the penthouse level of the dorm buildings and customize everything inside, though University Housing lots have specific requirements. A penthouse-based lot would require a trash chute, for instance. In cases of making frat house type dorms, you need an appropriate number of beds for the amount of Sims who will live there and if tagged University Housing, only Sims attending that specific University will be able to live in the dorm. You can choose to make dorms sort of like fraternities, by making it male or female only and additionally require everyone to be in the same University Organization (like Robotics Society).

Can I Modify Dorms? Only if there are no active Sims in the dorm. If you're willing to cheat, you can make modifications with bb.enablefreebuild cheat. The majority of dorm customization is done via live-draggable objects. There is a kiosk where you can purchase bicycles, microwaves, mini-fridges, and numerous decorative objects like rugs, pennants, and posters with which you can customize a dorm.

How does roommates work? Roommates is a new feature with the pack and allows your Sim to put an ad out for a roommate. Applicants will show up and you'll be able to choose among them, or ask another Sim if they'd like to room up with you. Roommates pay a portion of the household's bill. Roommates are NPC's meaning they can't be controlled. Dorms make use of the Roommates system but it is not exclusive to them.

How many Roommates can I have? Up to ten total Sims, though this doesn't relax the 8-sim household limit. If you have a full 8-Sim household, you can actually still have two Roommates.

Can my Sim's child (or pet) come live with me in the dorm (speaking of the toddler shown in the gameplay trailer)? While Sims are free to visit the campus and dorms, for dorms specifically all students living in a dorm must be attending the same University. You'd need to stay in residential housing in order to have your Sim in the same household with their child. This is off-campus attendance. Similarly pets like cats and dogs can't live in the dorm.

World and Other Features

There are three new careers in The Sims 4 Discover University: Education, Engineering, and Law.

Are there any new traits or aspirations in this pack? No, there aren't any new Traits. However, there is a new Aspiration in knowledge "Academic" which means a Sim wants to get a degree and a Career. I'm afraid it's more of a tutorial hand holding type but we haven't seen any details. Just those two things seems to imply it'll have basic, "enroll in University and finish a semester" type requirements.

Are there new Skills? There is a robotics skill we know a good bit about (see its section below). A second skill also exists, " Research and Debate " which increases study speeds, presentation and term paper completion times, and the speed at which Sims read books. You can learn to convince others to do things and debate in the Debate Guild University Organization.

Can you live in Britechester without attending University? Yes. You can make any of the lots into a residential lot in manage worlds and live there, and there are some existing homes to move into.

Are bicycles usable outside Britechester? Yes. You can ride a bicycle anywhere, not just on campus at the University.

Are there features usable by Sims not attending University? Sims can pursue the robotics skill, visit events on campus, and sit in (for a fee) on skill classes at the University. The roommates system can also be used when not attending.

Who can play Soccer? There's a new soccer ball that children through elder can kick around by themselves or with other Sims. However, only Sims actively enrolled in University can participate in the soccer team after-school activity.

Are there new Lot Traits? There are two new Lot Traits, but they are only of benefit to students. The Study Spot trait makes Sims less fatigued from studying and helps with skill gains. University Hang Out encourages student Sims to visit that lot and makes food and drink cheaper.

What are the new Careers in this pack, and do I need a degree to use them? You do not need a degree in order to pursue the new Careers (nor any other Career, such as Doctor). The new careers are Education, Law, and Engineering and all three have two distinct branches mid-way through.

Are the new Careers rabbit holes? Yes, but they can take advantage of the work from home mechanic based on what I've heard. It's not 100% confirmed, but was mentioned in the livestream.

What's this Secret Society? A secret society gathering was shown in my summary of the livestream, but only briefly. They were gathering in the woods. When approached by the Sim, they told her it was a special gardening club meeting and left in a hurry. Sims who want to learn about the Secret Society might research it on the computer and go from there. We don't yet know what benefits there may be to being in this exclusive club. We do know that there are three ranks of the secret society, and you unlock their totally cool robes when you advance.

Robotics and Servo

A Sim building a Servo unit, a special Robot that can join your household in The Sims 4 Discover University.

How do I learn Robotics? Do I need to attend University? No. You don't need to attend University to learn the Robotics skill. You simply need begin working at the Robotics Workstation or to purchase a Robotics skill book.

What are the robotics arm and such that Sims are wearing in the trailer? This is new robotics skill related wearable technology that helps Sims to craft faster and prevents injuries while working at the Robotics Workstation.

Does Servo take up a household slot? Yes. Servo is basically a new life state, though a Sim needs to hit high level Robotics Skill in order to unlock it.

What are Servo's Motives (Needs) Servo has both a durability and charge need, along with fun and social. They do not have hunger or bladder motives.

Can Servo attend University or Learn Robotics? Servo is able to learn skills like a regular Sim, so you can make a robot army if you wish. They are a lot like a regular Sim in other ways and can additionally attend University. They don't discriminate, but might I recommend Foxbury Institute?

Can Servo Die? Yes. Servo can die if left with 0 durability for some time. You get time to repair it, but failing to repair a Servo can result in him decaying into a junk pile.

Can you change Dorm housing ?

After each semester when you have to re-enroll you can pick new housing if you want to.

I had a sim enroll and they accidentally merged with the Fletcher household. I didn’t wanna control both so i moved my sim out. I tried to move her back into the dorms and can’t since it’s only available through enrollment but i have no idea how to re enroll or even drop out. I am very close to snapping my laptop in half please help.

load an older save and just move fletcher out instead i guess lol thats what i just did

I got the same problem :(

Next time that happens use cheats to remove the 'extra' sim from your household. enable testingcheats on then shift-click the sim and choose 'remove from household'.

Try moving your sim back into a dorm from the Manage World options.

Enrolled in university, decided to live at home, now I’ve enrolled I’ve changed my mind and want to move into university housing but can’t, any cheat that will allow me to move into a dorm after enrolment?

I don't think there is a cheat for that and haven't figured out a workaround myself either yet. It's really frustrating to end up in the wrong housing or on the wrong lot.

how do I drop out or change university

Look on your sims phone, you can drop out of uni there.

I don’t see the option anywhere! :(

You can not add Sims back to dorms if you have to move out because “University Housing is only available through enrollment.” Unless there is a manual cheat, they will have to wait until next term to move back into a dorm.

Another thing I noticed was the new storage chests are bugged. They retain ownership from the household they were brought in, Sims who move out with items in the trunk will not be able to remove the items from the trunk in another household. Even if those items were originally founded or crafted by that Sim.

Very sad about the chests, thank you for the heads up and I have tested this for myself and can confirm, chests are not good to move between households. It's best to travel between household with your sims items in their personal or household inventory, buy a new chest on arriving at your sims new home and transfer all the items out of your personal sims inventory or household inventory back into them as that way you do not lose control of the items. *sigh*

How can i drop one or two courses without dropping out of university?

I would like to re enroll my sims since i'm disqualified for the distinguished degrees. I've heard that deleting acceptance letter might do the job but I don't know how to. Please help. Thanks

There is a 7 day cool down on reapply to university so spend that time raising skills levels so that the next application is successful. I doubt if deleting the letter would help as the cool-down is coded to work regardless if you receive the letter in a sims mailbox of the pop-up notification from checking on a PC.

This guide as all the details on what skills are needed for which degree

Degrees, Skills and Scholarships

Hi, how do you get the extra credit for doing organization activities? My sim has been to every meeting but doesn’t have the credit yet.

They should get credit at every meeting and also for completing the tasks. Sounds like your game is bugged sadly.

Does anyone know if you lose your deactivated servo if you move dorm rooms or universities .. i've crafted one but not activated him because i dont believe i can living on campus and was planning on moving to britechester from foxbury at the end of this degree but i cant seem to move my servo into the chest or personnel inventory does this mean i lose him when i move ...please tell me this aint so lol he took some work to make lol

I suggest saving before moving then if the servo does not come with you then just quit without saving.

will have to i did that when i tried to dismantle him to see if i could get the parts i put into him back so i can remake him on a house lot but you only get back like 1 Computer Chip n 4 Mechanism's which sucks seeing as how it took like 12 CC's n 18 Mech's to make him

Might have been better to just activate the servo and then he would have become part of your household and you could have moved with it to your next house.

How do you enroll two sims together? into the same university and into the same dorm and still control them both?

I wanted to enroll two friends together but don't know how

If your sims are living in the same house just have both of them apply and then in turn enroll both of them to the same university and place them into the same housing option. Be sure to place the second sim in the exact same lot as if you make a mistake the only way to fix it is to quit without saving and try again. So SAVE before enrolling! You will need to go back to the original household lot to enroll the second sim through the manage worlds options.

If your sims are not in the same household, I would move them in together as there are some issues with trying to merge two different households through the uni enrollment procedure.

can you enroll 3 sims into university?

You can enroll up to 8 sims into university at a time as that is the limit on a household. You just have to enroll them one at a time using Manage Worlds menu to go back to your original household to enroll the next Sim each time. Remember to place them all in the exact same University Housing lot as you enroll each of your Sims or you will not be able to play them all at the same time and you can not switch between uni housing lots any other way except during enrolling.

Anyone else having an issue with students not being able to order food from the new cafeteria table

Does the Study Spot lot trait also help with homework for children and teens, or does it only affect university students? Same for the Research & Debate Skill, does it affect teen homework completion time?

Can someone help me please, I created a new university housing lot for britechester and it fulfils all requirements. When trying to move in my sim during enrolment it doesn't come up as an option. Any ideas on why?

Have you got it selected/registered for the university your Sim is enrolled in? Also moving between Uni Housing lots at the end of one semester and the beginning of another can be a little glitchy.

Help please. My sim is living in the “Best of friends” dorm and they gave me two extra sims to control. I don’t want to control them. Is there a way I can remove them from my control panel or something?

Enable testingcheats on then shift-click the Sim and chose 'Remove from household'.

How do i "go to office hours"

You check for office hours on your Sims Phone then click on one of the uni campus buildings and choose the option from there to go 'visit the professor', or something similar. It's not so much a place as just an in-game time availability/unlock. Your Sim can also email their professors for their current academic status/levels if that's what you are trying to check up on.

I can't get my Sim to get to class on time. I have to wait until the "Go to Class" is showing under the Class Schedule in the Career panel. Once that shows up the class has already started and then my Sim is always late once they go from the Dorm and runs to school.

Sounds like this bug: Sim Misses Class . You can work around it by sending your Sim to stand outside the correct building and then as soon as the Go To Class button appears click it and they will vanish instantly into the rabbit hole class and so not be late.

As a young adult, if I go live in “University Housing” do I loose my current lot? Or does it stay there until I chose to live at home again?

If you are playing a single Sim you lose your lot when you move that Sim into Uni Housing and can buy it back again as part of the process of leaving uni but your Sim needs to have enough money to do that.

If you are playing a few Sims you split the household up as part of the process of taking one Sim to uni but can add them back into their original household as part of the process of leaving uni if you want to.

The Sims 4 Discover University: Guide to Academic Success

Presented by EA Game Changers

Getting into university is one thing; excelling in university is quite another. For most people, the joys of university lie in balancing work with pleasure. A little studying here, a little partying there, leading to an overall well-rounded university experience.

This guide is not for the casual university student. This guide will walk you through how to throw yourself completely into your education in order to achieve the best grades (and the best future) possible. Throw away your juice kegs and break out those textbooks because school is all you’re going to know for the next three terms.

For a breakdown on scholarships and applying to university, see our guide, Discover University: Applying to University !

Class Selections

Of course, it all starts with enrolling and selecting your degree and classes. No matter which degree you pursue, you’ll have to select up to 4 classes per term. Classes change every term so you’ll see new ones available every time you select your classes at the start of term. You can’t change which classes you’ll be taking for your degree; you can only choose the number of classes.

However, Sims have the option of enrolling in 1 elective each term. Electives are fun classes that focus on skills outside of your degree and you will be able to select which elective your Sim will take that term. There are all kinds of electives that span a wide variety of skills. Electives are fully integrated across all packs, so depending on which add-on content you have installed, you may see different electives for skills from different packs.

Electives are optional; your Sim doesn’t need to take any electives at all, but if they do choose to take an elective, they can only take up to 3 other classes. Sims are limited to 4 classes per term in total, so either 4 classes, or 3 classes and 1 elective.

Our recommendation? Take 3 classes and 1 elective every term for maximum academic success. Electives still count as credits towards your degree so taking an elective doesn’t hurt your progress at all, plus your Sim will graduate with a few extra skills thanks to the electives they took.

One term last 5 working days. There is no way to shorten or lengthen a term. They are fixed periods. Sims can begin a new term anytime during the week, but weekends don’t count as term days. If your Sim starts a new term on a Friday, the term won’t end until Thursday the following week. Starting a new term in the middle of the week can be a good academic strategy for dedicated students because it will give them the weekend to catch up on homework and final assignments.

How many terms your Sim needs to complete in order to graduate is entirely dependent on how many classes they decide to take per term. A Sim needs to earn 12 credits in order to graduate.

Here is the breakdown of how many terms your Sim will need to complete based upon their classes:

• 4 classes per term = 3 terms (15 working days)
• 3 classes per term = 4 terms (20 working days)
• 2 classes per term = 6 terms (30 working days)
• 1 class per term = 12 terms (60 working days)

These calculations are based on the assumption that your Sim completes the same number of classes every term. It is possible to take a different number of classes each term (4 classes one term, 2 the next term, for example), in which case the number of terms needed to graduate will vary.

Even if a Sim only takes 3 terms to graduate, they will still spend the majority of their young adult life in university; however, unlike past Sims games, your Sims are not trapped on campus with no way to work or live a life outside of university. Sims can live wherever they want, have a job, and raise a family while going to school, so this balances things out. If the length of university is not ideal for your play style, we recommend turning aging off in the game options while your Sim is in university. That way, they don’t lose any time to climb a career ladder or pursue other life goals.

Of course, you will want to be taking 4 classes every term for maximum efficiency. Sims who don’t mind sacrificing their social life and plan to devote all their time to their studies should take a full course load every term.

Attending Classes

It’s important to actually attend class in order to get the most out of your university education. Missing class will hurt your grades. Sims in the area will autonomously try to get to class a little early. Sims who’ve arrived to class early will wait outside the building with the other early bird students. This can be a good time to get some last minute homework finished or to quickly finish the rest of that coffee and snack you purchased to-go at the cafe vendor.

While your Sim is inside the classroom rabbithole, they will have various options available to them by clicking on their portrait, much like the different work options for inactive careers. Click the class icon on the Sim’s portrait to see the various actions they can take in class. Sims can Actively Listen, Take Notes, Sleep in Class, or Chat with Friends. To get the most out of every class, make sure your Sim is taking notes or actively listening. I’m sure we don’t need to tell you that sleeping in class and chatting with friends are not good ways to improve your grades.

If you’re taking a full course load, it’s likely that your Sim will have more than one class in a day, or even back to back classes. Make sure to check the career panel often to keep track of your class schedule so you can budget your time for homework, finals, and self-care effectively.

Ideally, you will want your Sim to attend every single class with all of their homework completed and taking an active role in the class while they are there. This will ensure your Sim gets the most out of their classes and, in turn, gets the best grades at the end of term.

Every course your Sim takes has homework due before every class. When your Sim enrolls in university, they are automatically given a homework notebook in their personal inventory. Sims can complete homework for all their classes using this notebook. Homework takes some time to complete, but Sims with high enough Research & Debate skill complete homework faster.

Sims who stay on top of their homework and pay attention in class will get more out of attending classes and it will have a positive impact on their final grade. Always complete homework before every class and actively pay attention in class for maximum academic success.

In addition to homework that must be completed on a regular basis throughout the term, each class also has a final. Finals are very important and worth a large chunk of your grade. Skipping out on your finals will have a big negative impact on your final grade, so make sure you complete all of them.

Each class will have different requirements for its final. Some classes will require your Sim to write a term paper. Others have final exams and presentations. Look at your class schedule in the career panel to see what’s required of each class.

Exams take place during the last class of the term. If your Sim has done all their homework and attended all their classes, they’re likely to do well on their exam, but Sims can also study for a class using a course book purchased from the university kiosk, a computer, or research station to boost their chances of doing well on their exam.

Don’t miss your final exam! Failing to write the exam results in a big fat zero and will seriously hurt your final grade!

PSST! You can also cheat on your exam by selecting the option on your Sim’s portrait while they’re in the exam… but you would never do that… would you? Getting caught has serious consequences.

Term Papers

Term papers can be written on the computer under the University menu option. A Sim can write and submit a term paper for a class at any point during the term, so dedicated Sims might want to get these out of the way early.

Term papers take a long time to complete, but Sims with high enough Research & Debate skill complete term papers faster. The first draft of a term paper is usually poor quality. Your Sim can submit poor quality term papers, but f they want the best grade, they should spend some time editing their paper before they submit it.

Term papers can be edited until they are outstanding quality. You’ll receive a notification telling you that your term paper won’t benefit from any further editing once your Sim has increased its quality to outstanding. Scrolling over the term paper option in the computer’s menu will tell you the quality of the term paper.

When your Sim is satisfied with the quality of their paper, they can submit it using the computer.

PSST! You can also plagiarize your term papers by selecting the plagiarize option on the computer… but you would never do that… would you? Getting caught has serious consequences.

Presentations

Your Sim will receive a presentation board in their personal inventory at the start of term for any classes that have a presentation requirement as their final. Presentations function similar to term papers; your Sim will need to compile all of their material on the board, then refine the presentation board until it’s suitable to present in class.

To start, drag the presentation board out of your Sim’s inventory and into the world somewhere, then choose the Capture Information option on the board. Your Sim will spend some time compiling all their material for their presentation onto the board. When they’ve finished, they will have a poor quality presentation board. You can see the board’s quality by hovering over it.

Sims can improve the quality of their presentation by refining and organizing it, and asking other Sims for feedback on their presentation. They can also practice their presentation. Practicing presentations builds the Charisma skill. Once the board cannot be improved any further, you will receive a notification informing you that your Sim’s presentation board looks great and that continuing to fiddle with it won’t improve it any more.

When your Sim is satisfied with the quality of their presentation, they can go to class with the presentation board in their inventory and present it. Presentations do not take place during regular classes; your Sim must click on the class rabbithole and select the presentation option. Presentations can only be given during the day. Your Sim won’t be able to present in the middle of the night.

Final Grades & Starting a New Term

If your Sim has done all their homework, attended every class as an active participant, and completed all their finals with outstanding quality, they should have no trouble getting an A+ grade in every class. However, perfect grades don’t come easy. You’ll find that your Sim has little to no time for extracurricular activities, organizations, or socialising when they are taking 4 classes and trying to achieve an A+ grade in every single one of them. University is definitely a rewarding challenge in The Sims 4 , just like in the real world.

Since grades aren’t given out until the end of term, it’s up to your Sim to take a proactive approach to finding out how they’re doing in their classes. They can visit their professors during their office hours or email them on the computer to get an idea of how they’re performing in their classes and how they can improve.

Once all coursework has been submitted, your Sim will be free to enjoy themselves (for once) while their final grades are being processed. Once the final grades are in, you’ll receive a popup with all your final grades for each class, as well as your overall GPA.

From there, you can choose to enroll in another term right away, or take some time off before starting a new term. If your Sim has any scholarships, they must enroll in a new term immediately or they will lose their scholarships. Tuition costs for the new term will be handled at this point as well. Sims can pay with household funds or take out a loan to pay any tuition costs for the new term that scholarships don’t cover.

Your Sim will also be given the opportunity to make different housing arrangements at the start of each new term. They can choose to stay wherever they are currently living, or move somewhere else. This change does not happen right away. Your Sim will have about a day left in their old residence, which gives them an opportunity to pack up any personal items they may have purchased for their living space. A small “Packing Up” event will occur a couple hours before the move to remind your Sim to gather up their things, too.

As long as your Sim continues on the path to success they started in their first term, all their future terms are bound to result in perfect A+ grades across the board. Keep doing that homework, working on those finals, and paying attention in class!

How to Give a Presentation in The Sims 4 Discover University

Keep an eye on the time!

In The Sims 4: Discover University, you’ll find various coursework types that propel your student sim to success in their classes. While some may ask you to prepare term papers, others will ask you to give presentations or take exams. This may sound simple at first, but there is some important information to note before moving further into the school year. If you’re interested in learning more, continue reading to discover how to give a presentation in The Sims 4: Discover University.

Before you can give a presentation, you’ll have to make one! To do this, head into your character’s inventory and look for the presentation board. When you’re ready to begin working on it, place it anywhere in the world and select the board to find “Capture Information”. Click on this to start creating your presentation.

Once you make the presentation and select the board again, you’ll immediately find multiple options:

• Ask for Feedback
• Refine and Organize
• Practice Presenting
• Give Final Presentation
• Put in Inventory

Typically, your presentation will start at a low quality. While you can still present it, your grades will be as high if you refine and organize it. Make sure to do this before giving your presentation if you want to maximize your chances of getting an A grade.

When ready, click “ Give Final Presentation ” to head towards the appropriate university building. Your character will bring the presentation board with them and perform over the span of 1-2 hours. Make sure you do this between 8 am-4:30 pm on a weekday, or else you won’t be able to give the presentation.

Once you complete this task, you’ll finish the course’s primary objective. Just make sure to keep an eye on your homework and attend class to maintain high grades.

Get Back Your Presentation Board

This mod still seems to do it’s job but since the resources it uses have been updated multiple times, you should not use it. You can try using it at your own risk to get a new board but after you did so, please remove the mod again

Did you lose your presentation board? Me too. Now you can get it back by emailing your professor. Click on a computer>University>Email professors about progress…then select the class you lost your presentation board for. You will get a notification about your progress like normal but it will also add another presentation board in your inventory.

How to do your homework in The Sims 4

Graduate with good grades by staying on top of your teen Sim's schoolwork.

Whether your younger Sims are child prodigies or avid ditchers, chances are, you've dealt with quite a few popups encouraging them to do their homework . It's easy to forget about their homework, lose it, or even sell it by accident. Plus it's just time consuming to complete (and uneventful to watch), making it all around difficult to keep Sims' grades up if they have virtually any other responsibilities or hobbies.

Despite being a pain for a lot of busy Sims, homework is crucial to getting your kids good grades and boosting their skills. Or, if your older Sims are in university through the Discover University pack, it's absolutely necessary to avoid getting that terrifying academic probation warning at the end of a term.

Here's everything you'll need to know about doing your homework in The Sims 4, including how to do it at all ages, how to get new homework if you've misplaced it, and how to speed up the process.

To get a child or teen Sim to do their homework, open your Sim's inventory, locate their homework book (it'll be orange if your Sim is a child and blue if they're older) and click the "Do Homework" option. If you're tired of your Sims doing homework in weird places—mine always go straight to their parents' offices—you can also drag their homework from their inventory, place it where you want in the house, and click on it to "Do Homework" there instead.

As your Sims work their way up the educational ladder and become B students, they'll earn the option to do extra credit after their usual homework, which you'll do in the same way as regular homework and will deliver a helpful boost to their school standing.This process is a bit different if your Sim is in University via the Discover University pack. You can still find their homework in their inventory, but just like in real life, any Sim in university will have a much heavier homework load with homework for every class. Depending on the class, they'll also have final exams to study for and term presentations and papers to prepare, so make sure to get a head start!

Besides completing their usual booklets, there are a few extra ways for younger Sims to get their homework done that come with different packs. If you have the My First Pet Stuff pack, your child Sims can complete their homework by interacting with a hamster (or other hamster-esque pet) and clicking "Study Rodent," which is an especially adorable interaction to watch. I'm a big fan of giving all my kids pet rats and hedgehogs so they can get their homework while bonding with their little friends.

If you have the Parenthood pack, every Monday, your grade school and high school aged Sims will come home with school projects. To do these, you'll want to drag them into the world and then interact with them. You'll get to choose between working on them carefully or sloppily, and other Sims can pitch in as well to speed up the process (and even win the project's owner some extra credit).

Where'd your Sim's homework go?

If your Sim is missing their homework book, here are a few things that might have happened to it:

• It might have been stashed in the family inventory in Build Mode
• They left it at an entirely different lot
• You accidentally sold it (for a whopping 1 Simoleon!)

If you can't find your Sim's homework for the night, it likely wasn't a teacher's act of kindness and you'll need to buy them a new booklet. Sims won't get new homework when they head to school again. You can replace missing homework by using any bookshelf and clicking the "Purchase Books" option and selecting homework. If your Sim is in university, you can also buy them a new homework book via the kiosks found around campus.

How to do homework faster in The Sims 4

There are also a few ways you can speed up your Sim's homework times, which is especially useful if you're attempting to raise a well-rounded kid by squeezing in other after school activities. The best way of doing this, though, is simply by doing your homework as often as possible. As your Sims' grades improve, this option will change to "Breeze Through Homework" and eventually "Dominate Homework," allowing them to knock out their homework a lot faster.

Having your Sims' parents help them with their homework is also always a good idea—it'll speed the process up quite a bit and allow your Sims to bond in the process. If you have more kids than older Sims in the household, you can always invite over some adults from the town to help, which is a little weird in practice, but hey! It works.

If you're playing with Discover University, the Study Spot lot trait helps students of all ages do their homework faster and lets them work for longer without getting tired. Giving a lot you're living in this trait is always a good option to save on travel time, but if you'd rather not change your own lot's traits, the library in Britechester comes with this trait and is just a gorgeous spot to study in.

Lastly, having some Simanite (a crystal from the Crystal Creations pack) can help your Sims get homework done faster.

The ring bear quest guide.

As you explore the Media Naranja Park in Ciudad Enamorada in The Sims 4 Lovestruck expansion , you may spot a crying blue bear. They’re called The Ring Bear, and they’re upset because they’ve been cursed to keep their bear costume on forever. This page will explain how to find The Ring Bear and complete their quest in The Sims 4 Lovestruck.

(Screenshots in this guide are from a build that is not final and subject to change)

The Ring Bear Quest Steps

While we have a more detailed walkthrough below, here are the steps to complete The Ring Bear quest in The Sims 4 Lovestruck:

• Find and speak to The Ring Bear in Media Naranja Park in Ciudad Enamorada.
• Choose "Ask About Sadness."
• Fish the ring out of the heart-shaped pond.
• Examine the Strange Ring.
• Ask The Ring Bear about the ring.
• Search the fountain for clues.
• Ask The Ring Bear about the odd markings.
• Look for clues at the mural in Vista Hermosa.
• Rub the ring.

How to Start The Ring Bear Quest in The Sims 4 Lovestruck

To start The Ring Bear’s quest in The Sims 4 Lovestruck expansion, you need to speak to them in Media Naranja Park in the Ciudad Enamorada world. During the day, you’ll find them by the fountain in the center of the park or by the heart-shaped pond north of the gazebo. At night, they're usually sleeping on one of the park benches or walking around, crying.

Talk to The Ring Bear and select the “Ask About Sadness” option. They will tell you that they're sad because they've lost their ring - AKA they threw it in the nearby pond out of anger and want it back. You’ll need to fish it out for them.

How to Complete The Ring Bear Quest in The Sims 4 Lovestruck

Go to the heart-shaped pond north of the gazebo and click it. Select “Go Fishing,” and your Sim will cast their rod into the water. It might take a while (and you may catch a few fish!), but eventually, your Sim will fish up the Strange Ring.

Despite what you may think, don’t take the ring back to The Ring Bear just yet. Instead, click on the Strange Ring in your inventory and select “Examine Ring.” You’ll get a notification pop-up telling you there are some gnomish markings on the inside and that The Ring Bear may be able to read it.

Return to The Ring Bear and select “Ask about Ring.” They will read the gnomish language and tell you that it says something about a fountain.

Go to the fountain in the center of Media Naranja Park. Click on it, and select the “Search Fountain for Clues” option, and your Sim will look around the fountain. After a few seconds, you’ll get another notification pop-up telling you they’ve found more markings and that you should speak to The Ring Bear again.

Find The Ring Bear once more and click on “Ask about Odd Markings on Fountain.” They will tell you that it says something about a wall of some kind. The wall in question is a mural featuring two lovers in the Vista Hermosa neighborhood.

Open up the world map and travel to Vista Hermosa. You’ll find the lovers’ mural to the left of The Lounge. Interact with it and select “Look for Clues on the Wall.” You’ll receive a notification telling you that the ring can be activated by rubbing it.

Click on the Strange Ring in your inventory and select “Rub Ring.” The Ring Bear quest will be complete, and you’ll unlock the Magical Ring in Create-a-Sim. You can also use it by clicking on it in your inventory and selecting “Activate Powers” to activate the “Ring Rizz” Moodlet. The Moodlet is active for three hours and makes romantic social options have a greater effect. If you don't want it, you can sell it for 5,000 Simoleons.

...But wait, there’s more! Don’t you want to know who’s under that weird bear costume? Find The Ring Bear once more and force them to tell you about their costume by selecting the option to ask them about it multiple times. Eventually, the person will unmask themselves and explain why they decided to don the bear costume. We won’t spoil it, but enjoy the explanation!
