What is going on with failing classes?

So, I have the same problem for some reason. My sim has high skills, on the last day of class she had all of her homework turned in, and had taken the exams, yet she still got F's in all of her classes. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

I have not experienced this in my game. Grades are work and it should be that way. Glad it's not simple. There are many factors that go into earning a good grade! I still wish they had better lifetime rewards for completing a degree along with the pay boosts!

I just googled this problem, I have these twin sisters one good and one evil. I'm trying to master everything in game with them. Maxing all skills, all carriers, all educations and of course all aspirations. I've come a long way without trouble, but by now I've run into 2 problems and both are linked to uni-pack.
Problem 1: My good sim is suspended from school from failing twice. I did everything correctly and have her skills maxed out. But she is failing anyway.
Problem 2: My evil sim cant get "evil" deviance aspiration. One of the bars she has to pass is being promoted to level 4 in her Crime career. The problem here is that she has a degree in Villainy, which removes the crime career when looking for a job and replaces it with level 7 Criminal - Boss branch.

My brain is melting today. :(

That happened to me also. I created a sim with highest level of Robots, Rocket Science, Programming, Logic & Research. Got her to do all her homework & go to all her classes but she still got a probation from the University. Her course was Computer Science, it should have been a breeze instead of getting in trouble. I tried with my other sims with different courses & skills but came up to the same thing.
So, now I just go into the trait codes & give my sim a selected degree & not even bother with them going to University.

I'd use the cheat to get past that point in the aspiration - there's a genuine bug that is keeping the completion of the task from being recognised. But, I'd also put in a bug report or 'me too' if it already exists.

As for the grades - someone suggested in a another thread that it might be related to elective classes. If you've already maxed out the skill, you can't improve and fail?

All three of the Sims I've put through university have had nothing but A+ marks, but I've never had them take an elective. One Sim just started her fourth distinguished degree (she's independently wealthy due her connections to the Motherlode clan, and after a short spin at paid employment, has decided to become a Perpetual Student). But, at least she's good at it.

I was in luck, someone called my sim and asked if they wanted to start on level 4 criminal career, I did. Nothing happened at first but when she was getting a promotion at work the aspiration level box checked :smile: I'm still working on school, gonna save the file before graduation trying my luck. Normally I never cheat past "bb.moveobjects on" or save file for do-overs. I just love playing the game and facing whatever challenges comes my way.

I tested and I’m pretty sure it has to do with skills being maxed.

I think the game just does whatever, my sim is maxed skills and does everything she is suppose to and gets A- or B it's random but makes no sense

I noticed that too!! My sim is doing a distinguished degree in culinary arts and she’s maxed out in cooking AND gourmet cooking but she will still got a C and a B and 2 A’s. Presentations are always outstanding and so is the papers. She’s rarely ever late too.
I don’t get it.

It must be a glitch that EA need to fix. My sims skills are at the level they need to be, she attends class, she does homework, she does presentations, she studies, she does her term paper, she does everything and she's still getting Fs.

Grades can be roll of the dice. With electives I've had both good and bad grades on sims with all sorts of skill levels but think if you go up a level in any skill related to the course that helps with the grade so if maxed cannot get this. Definitely grades go down if late to a class and that's worse on campus as if you don't leave from home at least an hour ahead of time you never get there on time. Grades are definitely improved by studying at home and taking notes in class.
