In a previous post, we showed you what you can do to help your Sims complete their homework faster. But I recently came across a different homework-related issue that’s been bugging many users for quite some time.
Many players complained about their Sim’s homework suddenly disappearing from their inventory. Unfortunately, getting it back is not that obvious.
In this guide, we’ll explore why that happens and how you restore your Sim’s homework.
No, we’re not going to play Sherlock Holmes here.
Let’s dive right in!
Why is my Sim’s homework book missing?
Sims often drop their homework books on the floor. They rarely put their homework books in their inventories after doing their homework. As a result, they can’t find their notebooks when they get to class.
The quickest solution to find missing homework books in The Sims 4 is to look around the house or dorm.
If you’re lucky, you’ll quickly come across your Sim’s homework book and put it back in their inventory.
But sometimes, you won’t be able to find it.
Don’t be surprised if non-controlled roommates leave their homework books on the study table in the dorm.
What to do if you lose your homework book in The Sims 4
Buy new homework books
You can buy grade school and university homework books for $1.
To buy a new homework book in The Sims 4, click on the bookcase or computer, select Order Books, and buy the homework book you want.
If you’re buying a new homework book for a child, have an adult purchase it. Then put the book on a table for the child to pick it up.
If you’re playing The Sims 4 Discover University and your Sim’s homework book is missing, you can buy a new one by clicking on the bookshelf.
If you’re on campus, you can go to the campus kiosk and purchase the homework you need.
Delete or sell your bookcases
Other users suggested that selling or deleting your current bookcases and buying new ones could solve the problem. Sometimes, your bookcases might get glitched.
This often happens when you move a Sim to a new household and bring their furniture and bookcases with them. Replacing the problematic bookcases should fix the problem.
Check other Sims’ inventories
Your Sim’s homework may have accidentally landed in the inventory of another Sim.
Many players confirmed they found their Sim’s homework in someone else’s inventory.
Answering your homework-related questions

Do Sims in The Sims 4 University do homework?
Sims attending university in The Sims 4 Discover University do homework regularly as part of their class assignments. Lazy Sims that refuse to do their homework will get bad grades and won’t earn a Distinguished Degree.
That’s it. I hope you were able to get your Sim’s homework back.
Happy Simming!
