Hey y'all!I am currently playing with the Price family in Copperdale and I am having the darndest time getting the one or two, usually Sidney and/or Savannah to do their homework. It's not that they don't have homework to do, they do, but it's just not available to do. I don't know what happened. I follow them to school, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Sorry that it's taken me so very long to get back to this post! I completely forgot all about it. I did end up solving this problem pretty quickly after by myself. It was because of an outdated mod. It was the Better Education (I think that's the name) mod by adeepindigo. I have since fixed this issue for myself, but if you would like to keep this thread open for those who play without mods, I have no problem with that! Thanks for your help!

My sims don't have the option to do their homework?! (HSY)

@FreeToBeMae In the sims personal inventory there should be a blue book. Select it and click "do homework". If your sim doesn't have the book, go to the bookshelf or computer - purchase books - homework books (or children's books).

Hey yeah, but I did. If you look at the pictures that's exactly what I did, but the only options that there are no options to do homework.

@FreeToBeMae The top picture has the option to do homework. Is that the inventory of the child? The book needs to be in the chilf's inventory. Does the child have the correct book?

I apologize, I don't think that I explained this correctly. I tend to do that sometimes. So there are three teens in the one household, only one of of the three has the option to do homework. All of them have homework books (the blue ones). If you'll look at all three pictures, you will see a difference. So for Kevin, in this example, he has the option to do homework while Sidney does not. Here is the difficult part that I'm having trouble explaining: So when I click on Kevin's homework book, he has the option to do homework, Add To Favorite, and put his homework into the world. While when I click on Sidney's homework book, he does not have the option to do homework. Instead he only has two options: to "Add To Favorites" or "Put In World". Savannah is having the same problem as Sidney. I have no clue why this is happening. and day-to-day It's usually random. The day before Savannah had access to do her homework, but today she doesn't. They do go to high school in person, so I'm not sure if it has anything to do with that. I've tried to buy more homework books and replace homework books they had (the blue ones), I've also tried putting their homework out in world and it won't let me do it whether inside or outside my personal inventory. But nothing has worked so far. Let me know if you need more information or more pictures.

@FreeToBeMae Hello! Try to debug the books not working.
Open the cheat string (Ctrl+Shift+c) and tape: testingcheats true
After that press Shift+click on the book and then choose the debug option.

Maybe @Bluebellflora can help the both of you, I don't own a MAC, I don't know if it's different.

The game has the same features on Mac and Windows. Only technical issues would be platform specific.
