To finish your character’s homework, select the book in their inventory and click “Do Homework”. They’ll spend an hour or two reading this book, which is the visual indicator that they’re finishing their homework. Once your child or teenage sim is done, a notification will appear in the top-right corner of your screen, telling you they have completed their homework for the day. From here, you have the option to complete extra credit, which helps increase the character’s grades.

To make this process a little easier for the child, you can select an adult sim, click on the child and pick “Help with Homework”. Not only does this let the two characters bond, but it’ll help the child sim finish their homework quicker.
