What is going on with failing classes?
I had a sim who had an A-. The next term she had 2 classes and was on top of everything. All homework done, papers and studied on top of it. Then it was over and she got suspended. I don't understand ...

One of my sims also failed her elective. She handed in her term paper on time, and the quality of the paper was Outstanding. It was the Wellness elective and my sim's Wellness skill was level 6, so I have no idea how high it would have to be for her to get a good grade. It was her first term at university, so it's not like the class should have been very advanced.
This is why I don't understand why the devs made the class progression invisible. If I don't know why my sim is failing, how am I supposed to prevent it? Just give me a progress bar like with careers so I know where my sims stand. I don't even mind if they fail, I just want to know how and why.
Yeah, all this studiying system is so mysterious... I kinda like it, but at the same time it's frustrating. I would think skill level 6 is high enough to pass... Maybe not with A grade, but not failing either?
Is your sim doing a distinguished degree? Or even for regular degree requirements are that high?
I noticed that when my sim had skill level 7 and emailed her professor about grades, professor said she's a good student. Then she developed her skill to level 8 and become a "stellar student" (and also passed her exams with A+).
Yes, she was doing the distinguished Biology degree at Foxbury. The other two were doing distinguished degrees as well, though, and they passed with flying colors. I guess the other commenters are right that the grade is tied more to leveling the skill; I distinctly remember that the other two leveled up their skills several times from doing homework and other activities. The sim that failed leveled up her skills for her main classes as well, but not the skill for her elective. So that would explain why she got A+ for her main classes despite missing a few classes and some homework, but an F for her elective despite doing all the homework.
I wonder how it works if your sim is level 10 in the skill they need.
Guess it's time to play the game and do some testing!
