Sims 3 how to prank school

After the first day, Sims will gain a full letter grade if they go to school with all homework done, and in a good mood. Sims go to school on the school bus. If teen or child Sims miss the bus, they will be penalized for missing a school day. If a car or helicopter [ TS2:AL ] is available, older Sims can take children and teens to school, and teens can go on their own. Apartment Life also gave child and teen Sims the ability to walk to school, even if a vehicle is not available.

Sims who are walking, driving, or being driven to school must leave the lot less than one hour after school begins, otherwise they will be considered late. Sims can also be enrolled in private school by inviting the headmaster and suitably impressing him with good food , a guided tour and the right social interactions. The hours are the same, but needs are put under less strain and all students change into a default school uniform before leaving for school.

Public school and private school share the same school bus. Random rewards can be dealt out around 30 game minutes before the end of a Sim's school day. If FreeTime is installed, children and teens may receive hobby chance cards at this time. Children whose grades linger at F for several days may be taken away by the social worker and won't return to that particular family, but may be adopted by another one.

Teens will not be taken away for an F grade, but if they have a job they will be fired regardless of their job performance and the number of days they have missed. They will also not be able to attend college until their grades improve. If a child is adopted on a school day, he or she will get a free day off, and will not be penalized for missing school.

This is because adopted children arrive at 10 AM, after the school bus has already left. However, if the child walks to school [ TS2:AL ] or is taken to school, he or she will be counted as having been late. Likewise, if a toddler becomes a child after 8 AM on a school day, he or she will get a free day off.

If Seasons is installed, children and teens may get a "snow day" if there is heavy snow on the ground in the morning. The school bus will not come on a snow day.

If a car or helicopter is available, the "go to school" menu options will still be available, but students will not be penalized for not going to school. It's possible for teens to get a fear of going to school. This happens when a teen has to watch over a baby or toddler when there's no adult on the lot. Children and teens go to school every weekday, barring holidays. Older Sims can also use the school to attend a painting class, get a job in the education career track [ TS3:A ] or enroll in university.

Children attend elementary school from am to pm, while teenagers attend high school from am to pm; the earlier end time exists to benefit teens who have part-time jobs.

Teens who are not employed will still be let out at pm, which can be used as a good opportunity to get their homework done. Both school types share the same building. Unlike previous games in The Sims series, children are not taken away from their families for getting an F. The school bus will automatically appear to drive students to school, although Sims can opt to get there via other means, such as by biking or driving.

Players can choose from a number of sub-interactions while the Sims are at school. Sims can be instructed to slack off, work harder, or meet and socialize with friends. Once school ends, the school bus will appear to drive them home, although this interaction can be cancelled if players wish to send them somewhere else. Sims can now receive detentions at school.

If they are caught sleeping in class, copying homework tasks the player can assign kids while they're at school or busted when pranking the school outside school hours , they will be kept behind after school for a few hours, which can interfere with part-time jobs. Sims are less likely to receive a detention if their grades are higher than a "B".

While staying back late, the student can choose their tone but they will not see any improvement in grades or performance; however, if a Sim's mood is low, their grade might decrease. When detention is over, the school bus will not appear to bring them home, and the Sims will need to get home on their own. Children and teens may bring home friends of their age after school.

They can also be invited over to another student's house to play. Students who go to each other's houses will live within a reasonable distance from each other. The closer the other student, the more likely the invitation is.

Children also bring home homework every school day; failure to complete homework will result in them being penalized, and they may receive a detention. If a child or teen does not have a high performance at school, the player will not be able to choose their new trait when they grow up.

For the Sim to have good grades, they need to be at school on time every day, and must complete any assigned homework. Both children and teens will occasionally be given the opportunity to go on a field trip. The player will be asked if they consent to the student going on the field trip. If the player consents, the student will attend school as normal, but will be taken out of class during the day and driven to a rabbit hole somewhere in the world , along with a few other students of their age and their teacher.

Dialogue notifications will occasionally appear while the class trip is inside, although the player has no control over the outcome of the field trip. After the field trip concludes, the Sim may receive a souvenir in their inventory. If the Sim had any afterschool activities, they will be excused from them, but will not be excused from part-time jobs.

If the school has been deleted then children and teens will stop going to school. This is the only way to not go to school, and is only possible in Windows and macOS as consoles do not have the ability. Also, if the player is controlling one ghost teen or child, they might not be signed up for a school. However, if the school is deleted then children and teens appear to be forced age up badly because they haven't been to school, but if an adult with a high enough logic skill tutors them, their grade can go up, and allow them to age up well without having to go to school.

If Generations is installed, children and teens can be enrolled into boarding school or an afterschool activity. Teens can also attempt to prank the school after hours. If a meteor hits a school, then all sims attending will die. Schools make a come-back in The Sims 4 , but not as rabbitholes like in The Sims 3.

They're like jobs, as Sims will walk towards their lot's spawn point and disappear until school for that day is over. In order for a child or teen sims to improve their grades, they'll have to go to school with a positive emotion Focused is suggested as it says so in the school panel , completing their homework , doing extra credit work, working hard at class, and get extra performance boost from chance cards that randomly pop up while the Sim is still at school.

These chance cards may give a large performance boost, a medium performance boost, a small performance boost, and the same goes for performance losses. School starts at am and ends at pm, and if the Sim doesn't show up for school as expected, at around am, their principal will call the Sim who is missing school and inform them that if they keep missing school, their grades will suffer.

Even though the Sim is considered missing school by then, they can still be sent to school by selecting the Sim, clicking on them, and selecting "Go To School" for kids or "Go To High School" for teens. Also, while at school, Sims cannot get mortified, hysterical, be taken away, or starved to death. The needs that the Sim gains while at school are, social, fun if slacking off , hunger, and bladder. There are no disadvantages when a teen or a child has the lowest grade possible, except from an embarrassed moodlet.

If a child with the socially gifted trait , or a teen reach enough mischief skill, they can have a partner in crime, and plan with them to do mischievous things at school such as throwing geeks at the lockers, flooding the school, fill the class with plastic water cups, etc.

Teenagers can pull off these pranks on the homes of other residents. These can be initiated by clicking on the target house. If the teen gets caught by the residents, they will be warned or be escorted home by the police, where they will be grounded by their parents. Teenagers can also prank their school in a variety of ways. Getting caught pranking the school will result in both a detention from the school, and a grounding from the teen's parents.

As the fairy progresses with fairy magic hidden skill, they unlock new fairy tricks that can be performed on other Sims. Playing them on other fairies or witches are susceptible to getting backfired on the prankster. Pranks return again in The Sims 4 and are found under the mischief social category, with the exception being the prank call.

While some basic pranks are already available to Sims, most of the other pranks are acquired by raising the mischief skill. Although pranks are usually successful, target Sims who have either a high mischief or logic skill are able to stop pranks, causing them to backfire. Pranks can also be considered as a funny interaction, if the target Sim is in a good mood and the current conversation is going nicely. Children can also pull various pranks on other children and can gain more pranks by raising their mischief skill, after mastering the social skill.

When either an adult or a child Sim reaches a high mischief skill, they can become partners in crime with their friends. Both Sims then have the possibility to prank their workplace or school in variety of ways. The prank will happen when the Sim has gone to work or school, and have either a positive or a negative outcome. The Sims Wiki Explore. Recent posts Game news Community news.
