The Sims 4 Discover University: Guide to Academic Success

11 13 19 4 26 20 AM

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

The Sims 4 Discover University: Guide to Academic Success

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.

The Sims 4 Discover University: Guide to Academic Success

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

The Sims 4 Discover University: Guide to Academic Success

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.

The Sims 4 Discover University: Guide to Academic Success

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.

The Sims 4 Discover University: Guide to Academic Success

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

The Sims 4 Discover University: Guide to Academic Success

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

The Sims 4 Discover University: Guide to Academic Success

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

The Sims 4 Discover University: Guide to Academic Success

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!

The Sims 4: Discover University - Research & Debate Skill Guide

Get better at Research & Debate and you can argue with others about your Sims' most passionate subjects.

Quick Links

Research & debate skill overview, every level of the research & debate skill.

With the Research & Debate skill added in The Sims 4: Discover University expansion pack, now, your Sims can learn a little bit more about learning – and how to be more effective at it. As your Sims level up in the Research & Debate skill, they’ll become quicker at finishing homework, more effective at studying, and more.

Sims 4 Discover University: Passing Your Degree Without Passing Out

Spend some time at the Research Machine on either of the university campuses or Practicing Debate in the mirror at your dorm to begin building the machine. By the final level, you can persuade Sims, earn some extra cash, and so much more.

Made available in The Sims 4: Discover University expansion , the Research & Debate skill teaches your Sim persuasive communication methods .

How you choose to use these new skills is up to you - you can manage NPC Sims (which is massively beneficial when living with roommate Sims), coerce others to complete tasks on your behalf like your homework or your dinner, or even to perform assorted social interactions .

To get started with learning the Research & Debate skill, your Sim can either Practice Debate in any mirror , use a Research Machines to pursue the skill, or practice at any podium .

It'll primarily be built at the University of Britechester , as this university offers all four degrees related to the Research & Debate skill, which are Economics , History, Language and Literature, and Psychology .

You don't strictly need to attend the University of Britechester to build the Research & Debate skill, as the Foxbury campus has Research Machines in their Commons building, too.

However, the University of Britechester is home to the Debate Guild, while the Foxbury Institute doesn't have a comparable club that helps your Sim gain the skill at the same time as socializing.

In fact, you technically don't even need to be a university student to pursue the Research & Debate skill - the skill is available for any Sims Teen and up.

Joining The University Of Britechester Debate Guild

Those Sims who hope to build their debate skills on-campus should look into the Debate Guild at the University of Britechester .

Meeting a few times a week, the Debate Guild is only open to University of Britechester students and is a great way for your Sim to continue sharpening their skill and making some friends on-campus while they do.

To join the Guild, you'll need to attend an event of theirs, of which there are several throughout the week.

While you're there, speak to any member of the Debate Guild and ask them to join. From there, like other Organizations, you'll rank up by participating in assorted Organization activities.

At Rank Three of the Debate Guild, you'll unlock a few sweet perks, like:

  • Convincing Professors to Increase Grade to boost your Sim's performance in a class.
  • A new Research Archive Machine .
  • Your Sim can give homework help and study tips to others.
  • The Debate Guild unlocks a cool new Guild jacket .

In all, the Debate Guild is a good way for your Research & Debate Sims to meet new folks around campus and socialize a bit more casually with their peers from the Guild.

Use The Research Machine To Build Other Skills, Too

If your Sim has access to the Electromagnetic Research Archive Machine

These machines can be found in the Commons buildings on both University campuses, and accessed for free while on that lot.

If your Sim has the cash to spend, you can also buy an Electromagnetic Research Archive Machine for your home lot, but it costs §12,000 .

But not only can you build the Research & Debate skill on the machine, but you can also use them to research other skills , too.

Once your Sim has reached Level Six of the Research & Debate skill, they can begin to Contribute Knowledge on the Research Machine with any skill they've mastered.

Doing so builds fame , if you're also playing with Get Famous.

Just be careful not to over-contribute, lest your Sim overexert themselves a bit too hard ...

How To Make Money With The Research & Debate Skill

Once your Sim has fully leveled their Research & Debate skill in The Sims 4: Discover University, they'll have a few options to earn Simoleons using what they learned.

Using the podiums , your Sim is able to either give professional commentary on any subject in which they're well-versed or have professional debates with another Sim for some cash.

Doing so will also offer your Sim some Fame, if you're also using the Get Famous expansion .

This is only available at Level Ten of the Research & Debate skill - your Sim needs to know what they're talking about and how to present a case if they've got any hope of winning!

Additionally, once they've mastered another skill , your Sim will be able to write research papers on any computer about skills in which they're particularly experienced.

These sell for different prices , depending on the quality, but either way, completing one will net your Sim a few Simoleons automatically upon completion .

Helpful Traits, Aspirations, And Other Skills

With the ideal mood for building the Research & Debate skill in The Sims 4: Discover University is Focused , you may want to consider the Genius trait for your Sim.

These smartypants Sims will find themselves naturally feeling Focused throughout the day, which can help them more effectively build the Research & Debate skill.

Since you'll be dealing a lot with other Sims to put your skills to good use, the Outgoing trait can help offer additional mood boosts for the amount of socializing you'll be doing.

And when it comes to aspirations, you can double down on your Satisfaction Point earnings by pursuing the Academic aspiration , also introduced with Discover University.

As part of the aspiration , you'll need to reach Level Seven in the Research & Debate skill, among other things, so the most avid students ought to consider taking it on.

The Sims 4: How To Join The Secret Society

In the table below, we've kept track of everything that unlock at each level of the Research & Debate skill.

The majority of your unlocks are passive boosts to things like reading and studying time, paper and presentation speediness, and more.

Outside of these passive boosts, you'll also receive a number of social actions wherein your Sim can convince other to perform different tasks .

What Unlocks At Every Level Of The Research & Debate Skill In The Sims 4: University

The only thing that unlocks at the first level of the Research & Debate skill is a notification that tells you about using the Research Archive Machine, which you may not have been using when you first developed the skill.

The Research and Debate Skill in The Sims 4 Discover University

The Research and Debate Skill in The Sims 4 Discover University

The Research and Debate Skill is very interesting to me. It's essentially a skill that teaches Sims to learn and to be more persuasive in convincing others. You'll get a bunch of different passive boosts by leveling this skill, a few unique abilities, and can get other Sims to shower, cook meals, or clean up the house - perfect for managing Roommates in The Sims 4 Discover University.

Leveling Research and Debate

The research archive machine The Research and Debate Skill in The Sims 4 Discover University

There are a few ways to level Research and Debate - the cheapest is perhaps using a mirror to Practice Debate. See, here's the thing - the Electromagnetic Research Archive Machine... It's $12,000. So yeah, most Sims won't afford it without cheating in some money. You can get Podiums on the cheap in buy mode under Miscellaneous Activities and Skills - there is also a double podium setup you can use for debates. Of course, you could just travel to one of the University's students buildings where you can use the Archive free of charge. Just not from the comfort of home.

How to Level Up The Research and Debate Skill in The Sims 4 Discover University

You can level up Research and Debate using the machine above, or just practice at a mirror! Put on your convincing face.

The ideal mood for Research and Debate is, of course, Focused. You'll gain +20% faster skill XP by being focused, 40% for very focused. Stack on a couple lot trait bonuses, and you'll cram info like a champion.

Research Machine is the New Death

The new death in Discover University is that when contributing knowledge using the Research Machine too much (specifically that high level ability), your Sim will grow exhausted. If you continue to do so beyond that point, they'll give their life to science. It's not a very exciting death but one very much worthy of warning people about.

Research and Debate Skill Unlocks

The Research and Debate Skill in The Sims 4 Discover University

You get several active and passive abilities by leveling up Research and Debate. These help you complete homework faster, study more effectively, and even finish term papers faster.

  • Level 1 - Research & Debate is all about learning information and then utilizing it-whether that be in a debate or through social influence. This skill can be improved and used with the Research Archive Machine to Research varying topics, and the Mirror to Practice Debating
  • Level 2 - Your Sim can now finish reading books in less time. They can also Debate a Topic with other Sims at a Podium.
  • Level 3 - Your Sim can now complete their homework at an accelerated rate. They can Prepare for Debate at the Electromagnetic Research Archive Machine and Convince other Sims to Bathe or Do a Keg Stand.
  • Level 4 - Your Sim can now gain more study progress while studying. They can now research more skills on the Research Archive Machine.
  • Level 5 - Your Sim has become more persuasive. They can Convince other Sims to Do his or her homework and cook meals.
  • Level 6 - Your Sim can now complete University Presentations and Term Papers in record time. They may also Contribute Knowledge on the Research Archive Machine.
  • Level 7 - Your Sim can now use their persuasive powers to Convince other Sims to Clean house. They can also Convince roommates thinking of leaving the house to Stay.
  • Level 8 - Your Sim can now Write and Publish Research Papers at a Computer. They will also gain skill faster while reading sklil books.
  • Level 9 - Your Sim can now Convince others to Go Streaking. They can also Convince Boss to Give Bonus on the phone.
  • Level 10 - Your Sim can now have a Professional Debate with other Sim on a Podium Pair. They can also Give Professional Commentary at a Podium or Podium Pair. These are great ways to earn a few extra Simoleons.

Passive Study and School Work Bonuses

There are several of these unlocked above, so let's discuss just how good they are! It would appear that the level 3 Homework Speed buff is +25%, saving you at least 15-25mins each time your Sim needs to do homework, if not more. This stacks nicely with the Study Spot Lot Trait which can be put on any lot (and also increases skill gains - it's decidedly overpowered).

Study Speed is increased, therefore your Sim will increase their performance in a particular class much faster. This is all hidden to you, but if you miss class or fail to do homework it can be made up this way by spending a few hours studying for said course. You'll make up some of that time when it comes to making Term Papers and Presentations. The latter can be finished 40% faster. Not just the first stage, but all stages. In this way, Research and Debate is one of the best skills for students in Discover University. Who knew a skill around learning could be so useful to someone in Uni?

Convincing Others

Asking another Sim to do your homework with convince ability from The Research and Debate Skill in The Sims 4 Discover University

"Look this homework's due in 3 hours, and I just don't feel like it. Could you help out a friend?" "Why, of course!" - Convincing others to do things is quite fun, but has a rather long global cooldown. You can't be a pest.

You can only do this every 4 hours (not on a per-Sim basis). You don't need to have met the target Sim in order for it to work, as the Convince To menu is available straight away. Overall, it can be super useful to get other Sims to do your Sim's homework though they won't gain skills. But you have Research and Debate, right, so you can definitely make up for that with a nice skill book.

You can practice debating at podiums, but also have a two-hour+ long debate with other Sims. Winning it gives you a +1 Confident moodlet for 4 hours, which is hardly appropriate given the time sink. Anyway, the main use of the debating wing of this skill is Convince and its use in helping you to rank up in the Debate Guild University Organization mentioned below.

Debate Organization - Britechester Students

The Research and Debate Skill in The Sims 4 Discover University

The Debate Guild meets weekly, Tuesday from 4PM to 8PM. You can ask a member to join, and will then have a planner in the Organizations menu (Hotkey U, exists with clubs with Get Together).

There is a debate organization in Discover University, but I haven't explored it much just yet. You must be a student of Britechester in order to participate.

Meet someone from the Debate Guild, and you can ask the other Sim to join. Then manage its tasks and schedule on the Organizations panel (chat bubble icon in the bottom right interface). You'll get tasks, and gradually rank up. It's actually worthwhile to pursue this, because I saw there's a very, very expensive reward for reaching the highest rank. Something that's unattainable for a poor student interested in R&D! I won't spoil that for you.

Contributing Knowledge

Contribute Knowledge makes money with The Research and Debate Skill in The Sims 4 Discover University

You can make money with the Research and Debate skill. Probably about $300/hour, assuming you have something of value to contribute!

When your Sim gets higher level, they can use the Research Archive Machine to contribute knowledge on one of several skills, including Research and Debate, Painting, Charisma, Handiness, Logic, and Robotics. Having skill in these in addition to your Research and Debate Skill helps to improve the amounts you make. It takes a couple hours and gives about $600 at max level, maybe a little more.

Convince to Do Homework

While useful for getting another Sim to knock out your homework and freeing up some of your own Sim's time, this ability has a whopping 20 hour cooldown but seems to be per class .

Use the Research Archive to learn about ghosts on campus and, when a member of the Secret Society, learn about that Organization's origins. You can read about their origins in the link below, if you don't mind spoilers.

"Contributing Knowledge" three or so times in a row will make your Sim die of overexertion! I queued up the action a few times and then ended up killing my Sim :(

Yep, it's the new death included in the pack.

hi, anyone experience the skill to convince other to make homework not work well? they take book then put again in inventory, they not refuse. tried without mod. bug or 20 h countdown or other

Gravatar

My research and debate skill is level 10, but I can't seem to make people do what I convince them to do, they keep refusing. Is there some tips for people not to refuse?

This skill just seems really buggy. Try quitting out of your game and deleting the localthumbcache.package file from your TheSims4 folder. And sometimes doing a Game Repair from Origin can really help with glitches etc. However I think this skill is just not expected to work 100% of the time even with the skill maxed, you should be seeing more successes than failures though at Level 10, if your Sim knows the target Sim well.

Gravatar

Well, I don't know if it was taken out or whatever, but there is definitely NO option for my sim to practice debate in the mirror at her home (she's already graduated from University if that makes a difference).

Gravatar

The Sims 4: Discover University - How to Pass Exams

In The Sims 4: University, the coursework can be intense if Sims don't prepare, so here's how to study and take all the university exams.

Quick Links

How to study for university exams, how to take university exams.

In The Sims 4: Discover University , players can have their Sims seek higher education at an esteemed university. Two colleges are available in the pack, the University of Britechester and the Foxbury Institute. The Expansion pack allows Sims to stay in dorms, join societies, take classes, and more. The coursework can be strenuous, especially the exams, without the proper time and dedication.

Every class has a final exam or assignment that Sims must complete that goes toward their final grade. The grading system is more intense than in high school, and exam scores are a huge factor in grades. If Sims fail their exams, they could fail the class and will have to retake it all over again. So, here's everything players need to know about studying for exams and how to pass them in The Sims 4: Discover University .

RELATED: The Sims 4: High School Years - How to Graduate Early

The coursework is relatively the same regardless of which university players choose to send their Sims. Sims can take up to four classes over seven days, each representing a specific Skill. Sims will have daily homework, just like in high school , and a final assignment that determines their overall grade for the semester. There are three kinds of final assignments:

  • Final Presentation

The Final Exam is the most straightforward but also the most unpredictable if procrastinated on. To study for the exam , Sims must ensure they regularly practice the Skill for the course. Additionally, they should study on a computer or at the Electromagnetic Research Archive Machine found in Build/Buy mode. Click on either machine and locate the "University" tab. From there, select "University Coursework," and the option to study for any classes with a Final Exam will appear. Players will know their Sims is prepared for that exam whenever they receive a Confident Moodlet. Finally, repeat the process for any other Final Exams.

On the last day of the term, Sims will automatically take their Final exams during their scheduled class time. Unfortunately, they sometimes become tense or nauseous due to testing nerves, so last-minute studying isn't always possible. Make sure to arrive on time to class, or Sims will have a higher chance of getting a low score. However, courses with a Term Paper or Final Presentation require more hands-on attention to pass their finals which must be done before the final term day ends.

Submit a Term Paper

There are classes in Discover University that require students to submit a Term Paper rather than take a Final Exam. Sims must use a computer to write their Term Paper, which should be done well before 6 PM on the last day to leave room for editing. From the "University Coursework" menu on any computer or laptop, Sims will find the "Term Paper" option if they have one that semester. After selecting "Term Paper," Sims will be faced with writing a term paper or submitting a plagiarized one. Nevertheless, there is a chance they will be caught plagiarizing, and it is impossible to get an A using this method.

Writing a Term Paper will take a few hours, but Sims with a high Research and Debate Skill work faster. Once the first draft is complete, the paper can be edited to improve its quality. Lastly, remember to submit the term paper on the computer whenever ready before the end of the term.

Give a Final Presentation

Sims may also be tasked with giving a Final Presentation for their final assignment. At the start of the term , if any class requires a Final Presentation, Sims will get a Presentation Board sent straight to their inventory. To prepare for the presentation, place the Presentation Board somewhere in the world. Then, click on it to pull up the "Compile Information" option, and Sims will add documents and pictures.

When it is done, they can organize it or practice presenting it to another Sim to increase the quality. Sims will know their board is as perfect as it can be when they get a pop-up saying any further editing will increase the Skill rather than change the presentation. To submit the presentation, click on the board and choose "Give Final Presentation" between 8 AM and 4 PM on weekdays. All final grades will be announced at 6 PM on the last day of the term.

The Sims 4: Discover University is now available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

How to Write a Term Paper in The Sims 4 Discover University

Don't forget about your homework!

how to write term paper sims 4

You’ll encounter several coursework tasks as you complete your degree in The Sims 4: Discover University. Some classes will ask you to complete final exams, give presentations or write papers to show your academic prowess. If you’re interested in learning more, continue reading to discover how to write a term paper in The Sims 4: Discover University.

To begin writing your term paper, you’ll have to find a computer. If you live at home, make sure you have access to a computer or a local library. Similarly, if you’re living on campus, you can use the computer in your dorm room or head to a library.

Once your character is on the computer, go into University > University Coursework > Term Paper. From here, you can begin working on the assignment! After completing it, you can either submit it as a low-quality paper or edit it.

The quality of your paper will help determine your final grade. You won’t get a high grade if you submit a poor-quality term paper. However, editing it until it is of outstanding quality will significantly improve your chances of getting an A grade or higher. Whether or not you spend an extra hour or two to edit the paper is entirely up to you.

Not all of your courses will require a term paper as their primary objective. Instead, you may have to take an exam or give a presentation to boost your grades. With this in mind, don’t be surprised if you only have to write one or two papers during the entire semester!

The Sims 4: How to Get an A in University

If you really want your sims to struggle, you should send them to University. This is one of the hardest expansion packs we’ve gotten thus far for The Sims 4, and it’s well needed.

Having your sim attend University is simple, just go and hope for the best, however, if you want to get an A in University, you’re going to need to put in some work.

While other students will be at keg parties and attending soccer games, you’re going to be at the library or the commons studying into all hours of the night.

If you want to graduate with honours and have your sim get the best possible grades, you should follow this guide to get the most out of going to school.

In this guide we are going to talk about the importance of choosing your course load, attending your classes, doing homework, and making sure to do your end of term work.

Watch The Video

Did you know we have a Youtube Channel ? We make videos to go along with these articles and how to videos, as well as some gameplay stuff. You should definitely subscribe to us on Youtube !

Choosing Where to Live

It may not seem like choosing where you’re going to live for University matters much, it’s just where you sleep. However, there are certain factors that make living off campus on your own a better option.

First, you’ll spend less time cleaning up after other sims when they are messy, which can waste precious studying time. You also won’t have the annoyance of people in your room, or on your computer, or walking in on you while you’re showing like what happens in a dorm room.

Second, living off campus will give you access to a full kitchen on your lot and you won’t have to travel to the University commons just to get every single meal which will save you tons of time.

Finally, living in your own home means that you can give it the Study Spot lot trait which will help your sims pursue their studies and do better in their classes.

If you want your sim to graduate with honours and get all A’s, you should probably live alone, but it is possible to do in a dorm or shared housing.

Choosing Your Course Load

An important factor to consider if you’re trying to do well in University is how many classes you’re planning on taking.

Your sim has the option to take 4 classes, this can be 4 core classes or 3 core classes and an elective. An elective is just a fun class where they can gain a skill that is unrelated to their major.

You can take an elective every semester if you want, as these courses still count toward your degree and they will just give you some new skills that your sim doesn’t yet have.

You don’t have any say over which core classes you’ll be taking for your major, but you can choose how many you want to take. You can even just take 1 class a semester, however, this means you’ll be in school for most of your sim’s life.

Now, if you want your sim to get an A in University, you need to really think about how much work you want to do. If you take a full course load you’re really going to struggle to get straight A’s and still have your sim’s needs be met.

What is a good number of classes? Well, I recommend taking two regular classes and then one elective for a total of three classes . This means that you’ll be in school for 4 terms, or 20 days. You may want to turn off aging because this will be the entirety of your sim’s young adulthood.

Taking 4 classes is a lot and essentially means your sim can’t join any after school activities, organizations or anything else.

Going to Class

A simple fact of life is that failing to go to your classes each day, is going to make you not do as well at school. You won’t fail just because you never attend class (although it is a huge factor), but you won’t get an A either.

You must attend every single class for your all of the classes you’re taking if you want to get straight A’s. Also, you need to be on time for every class, it’s rather simple for you to be late if you live on campus so make sure that your sim isn’t doing anything that could distract them from leaving on time.

Sometimes when you live on campus, your sim will attend class early which is a great option to make sure that you’re leaving on time. All the sims will wait outside the building with their little homework notebooks and it’s absolutely adorable.

You also want to make sure that your sim is in a decent mood before they go to class so they aren’t distracted or in a bad mood. You can even pack a snack or grab a to-go snack from the coffee cart for a quick pick me up in between classes.

Being Active in Class

Although classes in The Sims 4: Discover University are rabbit holes, you still have the option of changing how your sim is learning in that class.

You can click on the little briefcase on top of your sim while they are in class and you’ll be given the following options:

  • Attend Class Normally
  • Chat with Students
  • Actively Listen
  • Sleep in Class
  • Leave Early

Some of these interactions are going to hurt your sim’s grades including: sleep in class, leave early, and chat with students .

If you want your sim to do well, you should choose either actively listen or take notes as these can help. However, this will also decrease your sims fun need quicker than just attending normally.

Doing Homework

Once your sim is enrolled in school they are going to get a black and white homework notebook that you can find in their inventory. This notebook is essential for doing well in University.

You’re going to have homework for every single class that you’re taking that is due before the next time you attend class. This means you need to start your homework before the term actually starts!

Your sim may arrive at University on a Monday, but their term won’t start until the next day, but their homework needs to be done before class. So after your sim has settled, you need to start working on their next day’s homework.

Homework takes a few hours but if your sim has a higher level of the new research and debate skill they will finish their homework quicker which is extremely convenient.

Doing Coursework

Every class that you’re taking will have daily homework, but will also have one larger task that you need to do throughout the course of the term.

There are three different types of coursework your sim may have: presentations, term papers, and final exams.

Preparing Presentations

One of the tasks your sim may need to complete is a presentation . When your term starts you’ll get a presentation board in your sim’s inventory, it’s a giant green board that’s empty when you get it.

You’ll need to drag this item out of your sim’s inventory and place it somewhere on their lot so they can work on it. The first step is to compile all the information on the board, when this task is complete the project will look like a mess.

While you’re working on the project you can hover over it to see the quality, if you want an A we need an excellent or outstanding presentation! At this point, it will probably be poor.

The next step is to organize the board and refine your information until it’s a better qualtiy presentation. You can also ask other sim’s for feedback before you do this to get another perspective and make it even better quality.

Once the project is as good as it’s going to get your sim will get a notification that they are done editing the presentation and continuing to refine won’t do much other than give them more knowledge for the class.

You can still practice your presentation to improve your charisma skill , I suggest you do this at least once if you want to get an A in your class.

Once your sim has practiced their presentation and it is excellent or outstanding quality it’s time to present. You can only present from 8am – 4pm on weekdays, so you need to plan accordingly and it needs to be presented before the last day of classes.

To present, you click on the project and your sim will be sent away into a rabbit hole where they will be gone for around two hours doing their presentation.

Writing Term Papers

The next option your sim may get is to write a term paper, this works pretty similarly to the presentation where you need to complete the paper then edit it and submit it on the computer.

The nice thing about writing papers and doing presentations is that you can get it done right away and don’t need to worry about it every day until the term ends, you can write it in the first day of classes if you want!

A sim who has a really high research and debate skill will finish their term paper much, much quicker which is really helpful. It may even be useful to plan ahead for this and get your teen sims to work on this skill before they age up and attend school.

A term paper is written on the computer under the University > Coursework section. You will spend a few hours writing this paper and it can be done in more than one sitting. There’s also the option to submit a stolen paper, but this is not how you get an A!

Once you finish the first draft of your paper, chances are it’s going to be poor quality. You’ll need to edit the paper at least once, maybe twice until you get a notification letting you know that you aren’t going to be able to make it any better.

At this point, continuing to edit the paper will just give you more knowledge but is really a waste of time since there’s other classes to focus on. At this point you can submit your term paper.

To check the quality of your paper before submitting you can hover over the submit button and it will let you know what level it is so you don’t submit a poor quality paper.

Studying for Exams

When you see that your only coursework for the semester is to take final exam , you may feel excited since all you have to do is write the exam. Well, you’re wrong! You need to study all semester.

If you want your sim to just do okay, you can send them to the exam without any preparation. However, if you want them to get an A, you need to study.

There are a few different ways to study for exams. The first is to click on a computer and under the University section you’ll see university coursework , if you click on that you can see the option to study ! You can choose the class where you have a final exam and this will be helpful.

You can also study using the new research machines that are found in the commons or at the library. You’ll see a study for … option.

Finally, you can purchase a textbook for your courses at one of the kiosks located in the quad at the University. This is also where you can buy items to decorate a dorm room! You can also purchase these textbooks from any bookcase, they are going to cost you §700 though!

If you really want that A in a class with a final exam, you should study at least twice for it whenever you have a chance.

Getting Your Grades

Once you’ve attend your last day of classes and finally finished all of your coursework, your sim will be given their final grades after a few hours. Hopefully, these grades will be filled with A’s since you’ve now learned how to get an a in University!

Final Thoughts

If you have any other questions about how to get an a in university in the sims 4, let me know in the comments and I’ll be sure to add it to the article!

I've been playing the Sims since the first game was released when I was only 5 years old. It's been a huge passion of mine for two decades and I've loved every single minute of it. I also love dogs. And grilled cheese sandwiches. And I think me and Bob Pancakes could be friends.

is there an ideal mood for taking a final exam? thanks

My sims always seem to do well when they are focused

Do you know if it matters at what point in the “term” you submit the paper or present the presentation? like do you get a better grade the quicker you do it or the closer you do it to the end of the class (like when you have the most knowledge from the class)?

I honestly have no idea, I just always make sure it’s excellent or outstanding quality before submitting but have never paid attention to the timing

I wondered about this too, but found out it doesn’t matter how early you submit it. Now I try and submit mine all before term starts!

My Sim maxed her Charisma and Logis skills while at High School and she just started her first term in uni and her research and debate skill is at 8. Will this affect her negatively in getting good grades? I ensured she worked hard at High School so that she could get into a distinguished program. But will her maxed out skill levels now be an issue.

No, it will not be an issue. It makes it easier to get excellent-quality papers if the skills you have maxed out are needed for the course.
