In The Sims 4, completing homework is essential for Sims looking to excel academically. Failure to do so may negatively impact their school performance. For those aiming for high grades and an A before advancing to the next educational level, focusing on skill development and regular homework completion is crucial.
This guide will assist players in recovering lost homework in The Sims 4, a common issue that can arise throughout a Sim’s academic life, be it in middle school, high school, or university.
Locating Homework in The Sims 4

Typically, homework can be found in a Sim’s inventory after returning from school. However, it’s plausible for Sims to inadvertently misplace their homework while working on it at home. If a player shifts or deletes the furniture where homework is located, the assignments could be lost or relocated to the household inventory.
Before concluding that the homework is irretrievable, players should check the household inventory in Build Mode. If the homework isn’t located there, it’s likely that it has been permanently lost, necessitating the purchase of new homework materials.
Steps to Retrieve Homework in The Sims 4

If a player’s Sim has genuinely lost their homework, repurchasing it is required. To retrieve homework in The Sims 4, players need to interact with a bookshelf and select the “Purchase Books”option. With a variety of books available, players should click the drop-down menu located at the top left of the Purchase Books interface and choose the “Homework Books”option listed at the bottom.
Within this section, players can purchase several types of homework, including:
- Grade School Homework
- High School Homework
- Soccer Team Playbook
- Teacher’s Padfolio of Student Homework
- University Homework
Once purchased, the homework will be stored on the Sim’s household bookshelves. Players can access it by interacting with any bookshelf in their home, taking the book to use, or adding it back to their Sim’s inventory.
