What is going on with failing classes?

Boy, these posts don't speak very well for this game, at least the one's I've read. I admit I haven't read them all, but it makes me not want to play this pack. In sims 2 and 3 my sims were A students. I liked it that way. That's what I did when I was in college. I don't like this business of failing a class and not knowing why.

My Sim married her roommate and discovered that he didn’t graduate with her because he failed his classes and had a D- average. I was like, “okay” and resolved to get him a good degree so he could come back from it. Did everything- he wrote his term papers, did presentations, homework as soon as he was assigned it... he failed his classes.

I thought it could have been that he moved off campus and the game wasn’t registering him as attending his classes and midterms, but seeing that I’m not the only one with this issue, it’s kind of ???

I don't think so. I've sent several sims through at least one term of university, they've always emailed the professors since that's the only way to judge their progress, and they've all gotten A+ on every course.

So that's not it. Too bad. I'm kinda anxious to catch the bug, too, and knowing what to avoid to not get it would have helped immensely.

I just experienced this and I'm confused and kinda annoyed. My sim did two classes, a mandatory one for Language and Literature and a Wellness elective. He got A+ in the mandatory class and got an F in the Wellness class, despite handing in an outstanding term paper, attending every class and never missing homework. He even emailed the professor to be told he was "passing the class". So how on Earth does that result in an F?

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 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 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.
