    Sims 2 Problem with term paper

    SnappiTheSimmerxxSnappiTheSimmerxx Posts: 180 Member
    in The Sims 2
    My Y.A sim had 90% of his term paper done, and when I tried to make him do his term paper, he did just 1% of it, and then when I tried to make him do his term paper again, the option just wasn't there, it disappeared, I need help???

      Try influencing someone to do his term paper for him?

      That happened to me once or twice. Not sure why it happened, but I just sold the computer and bought another one and it fixed itself. (you don't loose any progress, and if you need extra cash to get another one just sell a dresser that is in one of the dorm rooms :D That's what I did anyway, they don't really need or use them :p )

      I had the same incident at least once. It just came another Want not fullfilled as the term papers were not needed to pass the exam anyway.

      Have you checked by going to a Community lot, like the Library, and see if the option is available on those?

      Plus, a great reason to go to Community lots in Uni is they can go to class twice and get credit for it. IF they go near the time of their classes. I will do that instead of turning the season to Fall (where they learn everything faster). :)

      *If class is at 9am send them to a Community Lot about 7:45am and they'll go to class there and when they get back home. )

      I've had that happen a few times. I never used influence because they would just get mad and leave after.

      I was actually asking for myself because I have had the same problem and dislike the influence system so was wondering if there was an alternative.

      The assignment method worked for me.. You should keep doing assignments until next semester, then it will get solved and you'll be able to make the term paper again.

      How's their mood? When they aren't too happy they stop doing so and well, who can blame 'em haha

      I find usually in The Sims 2, the interaction would still be there, but your Sims would say "Can't you see that I'm in a bad mood? I don't feel like it" when you asked them to do it. My issue is that the interaction wouldn't even be there. And yeah, I cannot blame them for stopping their term paper after a while. I like to joke that I never write a term paper in one session, but I force my sims to do it.

      If you have OFB and someone knows how to make snapdragons... those are what I'd use to finish term papers.

      My simself is currently having a less-than-illustrious career as a novelist, and term papers and novels seem to take something close to the same time. (Which is ludicrous - real life experience of mine shows that a novel takes much longer than a term paper... ) Snapdragons help. As does having a decent computer so it doesn't break halfway through.

      Since I'm treating term papers as something that sims only do if they're in certain majors, this usually doesn't bother me.

      What are snapdragons outside of flowers? Sorry, you've introduced gameplay I'm unaware of yet :flushed:

      In my cases, it seldom has anything to do with mood. Sometimes, I stop their writing term papers, for instance because they should go to class.

      Snapdragons are a type of flower craftable with the flower bench from OFB. Being around one raises a Sim's motives. Unless it's an evil snapdragon, those drain these motives instead.

      Snapdragons are a type of flower craftable with the flower bench from OFB. Being around one raises a Sim's motives. Unless it's an evil snapdragon, those drain these motives instead.

      Specifically: they're the most difficult flower arrangement to make with the Open For Business flower arranging station. They raise a sim's motives (except energy) no matter their aspiration, and do it fast enough to deal with all except the most draining activities, so drop one next to a sim's computer and they can literally write term papers until they pass out. (Their aspiration will still go down, but if they want to write a term paper, that's their problem. It also doesn't go fast enough that I care, compared to the grades boost and the aspiration payout for writing the paper.)
