I just bought the University expansion, and I am having the same issue. No matter if they attend all classes, do all homework, term papers, presentations, etc. they flunk with a D or an F every time. I am extremely frustrated with this!!

Failing grades at University since update

[ Edited ]
★★★★ Novice

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.60.54.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Discover University; Cats and Dogs; Seasons; City Living; Get to Work Outdoor retreat; parenthood; spa day; Spooky stuff; vintage glamour
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Load a save with a university student on the last day of term, who has all required skills, homework, final exams etc and is on track for good grades
What happens when the bug occurs? I loaded my save with two off campus uni students on the last day of term at 3pm; one is finishing his first term and is a young adult, the other is just about to age up to elder and is finishing her second term. She had an A- GPA in her first term. The last time I played (2 days ago) they were both up to date with all requirements and had emailed their professors for updates with very positive results. The elder had a slightly worse score in macroeconomics but had been studying, and the young adult was doing well in everything. When I load the save game and get their grades, both fail or nearly fail on several courses. I've reloaded several times and invited professors over, the elder is doing very well in one course but on the cusp of failure in macroeconomics. The same for the young adult, he gets an A in one class and an F in another.
What do you expect to see? Grades in line with their performance and with what the professors previously told them
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The latest update as of January 2020

When you're Sims go to class are they attending class normally? If so change them to take notes every time they go to class. I was having a problem with a Sim with all maxed skills to get decent grades and making her take notes every time she was in class got her A's and she graduated. I hope this helps.

@Lapin_Demoness I submitted a post exactly like this as well. It was fixed for a while and went back to being messed up. Now my sim is on academic probation for no reason. She should be on honor roll. She failed the same class twice despite doing everything right and all skills maxed out. Really hope they fix this soon it’s super annoying!!

I am still having this issue.  

This pack was a waste of my money.

Yep, this is still a major issue for me, too. I'm super frustrated, to the point where I'm ready to just cheat them degrees.

 

Despite doing everything right, my students also keep randomly failing. Sometimes they do okay in a couple of the classes but fail the others. Poor Julia Wright (married to my sim) just failed 2 classes and got an A- in the other. She's now on probation. 

 

This has been happening ever since December's patch. I'd hoped last week's update would fix it, but nope. Even started a new game with Tiny Living and hoped maybe that would fix it, but nope.

Can anyone who's still having this issue possibly share their save file with me, to help us investigate? Much appreciated!

I just started playing University and my sim got a D in a class that required a term paper, even though he attended all classes, did the homework, and had and submitted an "outstanding" term paper. His other grades were Bs and As for that term.
