Certain Homework Activities Not Available on Objects (Possibly Age-Specific Bug)

  • Game Version: 20250701.5443.W

  • UID: N/A

  • Platform: Steam Windows

  • Mods: Removed (issue occurs even with all mod files removed and mods disabled)

  • Hardware Specifications & Operating System (OS version, CPU, GPU, RAM, storage…):

    • Windows 11 Home 24H2, Intel Core i7-12650H 2.70 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB VRAM, 32 GB RAM 4800 MT/s, 1 TB Storage
  • Issue Date: August 13, 2025

  • Details: Certain Homework Activity interactions are not appearing on objects for my Adolescent Zoi. Not sure if this bug is specific to that life stage, as I haven’t tested it with Teen Zoi yet, but I didn’t experience this issue with Child Zoi’s assignments.

    • The two Homework Interactions I’ve seen that are missing from objects so far:
      • Prepare an Original Song
        • Checked on the Standing Mic, the Table Mics, and the Computer. None of the objects had the interaction appear
      • Write Entry in Plant Observation Journal
        • Checked on every single plant pot in the game, and the option does not appear. Whether the plant is grown or not does not make a difference.

Both of these activities previously appeared/worked for my Child Zoi, but after she aged into an Adolescent, she can no longer complete them, and her grades are suffering.

Hi @LazyTaco,
We’re aware and looking into this issue. We’ll provide any updates we get in this thread.
Thanks!

I was just about to post the same. For me all the homework activities related to the microphone do not work as the relevant options are not available on the microphone. I tried looking through all the activities on the Zoi himself as well as bookcase or computer but nothing.

Yeah, I really hope this issue can get resolved soon because not being able to complete homework is very annoying.

I meant to mention this a while ago, but the “Write Entry in Plant Observation Journal” interaction did reappear for my Zoi on certain plants, such as some of the plants in the Bliss Bay Funeral Home/Cemetery.

Could we possibly get clarification on which plants do and don’t have these options, or maybe the option can be added to all plants? That would make it less confusing.

Hi @LazyTaco,
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience.

I have an issue of a homework that says “write report on local volunteer activity”. I tried the computer, doesn’t show up “homework” or “write report”

Is this a bug?

If I remember correctly, any computer should show you a task with either “community sth” or “volunteer sth”, when you click on the homework category :thinking: Which computer of the various ones in the game have you tried this with?

I was using the library computer. I went to critical thinking, I don’t see “community” nor “volunteer”. I’ll show you a picture.

Oh, I see. Usually there should be a different category (when scrolling down sometimes) called “homework”, where you’ll find all possible tasks on the computer. I’m not sure if this is only possible on computers in the household or at the library too :thinking:

This is how it looks in one of my households:
