school projects
Do your sims finish them? My teen sim has a school project she's been working on all week and there's no timer count down when she's working on it. Will she finish it or is it something that can't be finished?

- My sims finish them just fine.. They never do them automatically though and I have to direct it myself. Same goes with homework. You might have a bug?

Thank you. She's been working on it but she lives alone and has a garden to take care of. I barely have enough time to take care of her needs because she's having moods and she's slower at doing things than I'm used to. This is my first time playing a teen.
The projects do take a long time to complete. My current sims is an A student and a genius and it still take almost all week working each day.- Thank you. I haven't been able to work every day on it.

That sounds like a lot?
With a parent helping I usually finish them within a day."Darren;c-18157075" wrote:

I prefer to have my sims do it alone, because it helps to build their skills more than when others help, or at least I think it does.- They do take a while, but mine usually finish them in one or two sessions. I find they are great for family bonding exercises. One of the parents or older siblings will assist on them and raise their own skills while getting to know the younger at the same time. Probably shaves off some time with their help too.

Yes, I can see that approach has other family play advantages.- I have a save that's teen dominant and they get school projects every Monday. Regular homework takes about 2 sim hours. Projects vary, if they do them alone or have help. Without help I'm going to guess about 3 sim hours though I can double check as I'm in my teen load currently.
Once they're an A student you no longer have to do homework every day to keep the A but it's still a good idea to do the projects on Monday or regular homework once in the week so the grade doesn't start to slip with the various prompts that may give them a slight loss in performance while at school.
Journaling takes about 1 sim hour.
The project could be bugged if it's taking that long to complete but you can sell them for 80 (finished) and 100 (never worked on) and buy them from kids activities for 100 and each has a skill so if you want a skill that's more in line with your sims goals etc.
Otherwise you can try to debug by shift clicking the project. I've never had one take a full week to complete but only a few hours. I'll update the exact amount of time when I can.
Once my students are A grade I sell projects for the 100 every other Monday (helps with bills) and do homework instead on the Mondays I sell projects. - I usually have multiple family members work on one project together until all the projects have been done if there are multiple kids, or I might have the kid/teen take the day off school to do it. If I want a kid/teen who doesn't care about schoolwork, I usually delete the project.
