How Do You Fill Out Reports On Sims 4

Okay, let's talk about something near and dear to my Simming heart. It's filling out those reports in Sims 4. I bet you're thinking "Reports? Seriously?"

Yup, reports! You know, the ones for the detective career, the scientist career, or maybe even the education career.

Detective Career: The Case of the Missing Motivation

First, you arrive at the crime scene. You have to investigate.

Then you dust for prints. I find it funny when I accidentally dust the toilet. I swear, my Sim is a professional.

After that, time for interviews! Everyone is a suspect. Even the toddler? I am joking.

Here's my unpopular opinion. The reports feel... random! I mean, I find all the clues. I interrogate everyone.

But the report still says, "Needs more evidence!" Like, seriously? What more do you want from me, Sims 4?

It's like the game enjoys seeing my Sim get the wrong suspect. The suspense is killing me!

Scientist Career: Eureka! (Or Maybe Not)

The scientist career is all about inventions. Some of them are really useful. Others are... questionable.

Then comes the experiments. Mix chemicals, analyze plants. The usual.

My favorite thing is when the invention explodes. It never gets old.

But again, the reports! I invent the coolest ray gun. The one that transforms things.

I fill out the report, detailing its amazing powers. The ray is amazing.

The response? "Interesting, but lacks practical application." Seriously? Turning your neighbor into a toilet gnome isn't practical?

I think the game has a very different definition of "practical" than I do. My Sim is just trying to have some fun!

Education Career: Grading Papers and Pulling My Hair Out

The education career is a new one. I teach kids and teens. I make sure they have a good education.

There's lecturing, grading homework, and dealing with troublemakers. Just like real life, except way more pixelated.

The problem? The reports are about student progress. How do I accurately gauge that?

It's like the game wants me to be a mind reader. I have to guess if little Timmy is understanding quadratic equations.

I try to be fair. I really do. But the reports always come back with, "Room for improvement."

I think the game secretly enjoys watching my Sim stress out over lesson plans. It's a conspiracy!

Tips for (Maybe) Surviving the Report Grind

Okay, I'm no expert. But I've learned a few things. First, over-document everything! Take pictures! Write down every little detail! Pretend you are writing a novel.

Second, bribe the report grader. (Just kidding! Though, wouldn't that be fun?). Make sure your Sim has a good relationship with their boss.

Finally, accept that sometimes, the reports are just going to be bad. It's the Sims 4 way. Embrace the chaos!

Maybe one day, the game will give us more insight into how these reports are judged. Until then, I will keep filling them out.

And I will keep complaining about them. Because that's what Simmers do best.

So, tell me, am I alone in my report-filling struggles? Or do you also find them strangely frustrating... and hilarious?
