My adult sim won't help their child with homework.

When I go to make my adult sim help her child with homework as the child is working on it, the option simply isn't there. I remember being able to before I took a six month long break that I ended just yesterday. I really need her to help her child with homework, otherwise she can't complete her aspiration!

I have no idea what to do, and I have no clue what caused the bug. The mom is permanently stuck on this little aspiration level (help child with homework 3 times) until the bug is fixed or I can figure out a way to force her to help with homework by some obscure trick.

@Lilac1606 Please use this thread for the toddler issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Sims-can-t-help-toddlers-to-potty-or-play-blocks/t...

Could you edit this post to just be about the homework issue ?

For me that still works fine. Did you make the Child do homework and then click with the mom on the child ?

You can cheat the aspiration level with: aspiration.complete_current_milestone

@crinrict Edited the post to get rid of toddler stuff.

Yes, I did the child do homework and then click with the mom on the child.

@Lilac1606 Did you try if it's limited to this Sim or if others have issues too ?

[crinrict]

@Lilac1606 Are you still having issues with this ?

I'm having the same issue, and I wonder if it's because the kid is a genius and doesn't need the help.

[crinrict]

@IrishFire Does it work with a child that isn't a genius ?

[IrishFire]

I'm not sure! This is the first time I've picked up the game on this new machine, and the family's first kid.

It did start spontaneously working, when it didn't before, and it only works when the child is already doing homework.  They can't ask for homework help, and the parent can't offer it unless homework is already in progress.

@IrishFire yes, that's how it works.
