To do homework in Paralives, your Para must use a computer after receiving a school assignment. Homework is fully digital in the current Early Access version, so you will not find books, notebooks, or inventory items.
| Homework Requirement | Where to Find It | Who Can Do It | Important Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| School homework assignments | On any usable computer | Children, Preteens, Teens | Homework only appears after school assigns it |
| Homework interaction | Computer interaction menu | Student Paras only | Option may say “Do Homework” |
| Multiple class homework | Computer submenu | Older students | Some classes appear separately |
| Completion deadline | Usually within 2 in-game days | All students | Missing homework may affect grades |
| No homework showing | Wait until after school | All students | Assignment must first be generated |
Where to find a computer in Paralives
Most starter homes already include a computer desk setup. Look for:
- Desktop PCs placed on desks
- Library near the Town Hall
- Family office rooms
- Shared living room computers
If your household does not own one, open Build Mode and purchase a computer plus desk setup. The homework system currently depends entirely on computer interaction.
How to do homework in Paralives
Step 1: Wait for your Para to return from school
Homework only becomes available after a child, preteen, or teen Para attends school and receives an assignment. If no assignment exists yet, the homework interaction will not appear on computers.
Step 2: Click on a usable computer
Select any powered computer inside your household. School-related interactions are attached directly to the computer instead of inventory objects or books in the current version.
Step 3: Choose the “Do Homework” interaction
Inside the computer interaction menu, look for “Do Homework” or a class-specific homework option. Some Paras may receive assignments tied to individual subjects.
Step 4: Let the Para finish the assignment
Your Para will sit at the computer and complete the homework automatically. Avoid cancelling the action midway or the assignment may remain incomplete.
Step 5: Verify school progress afterward
Completed homework can improve class performance and grades. Paralives currently uses a traditional letter-grade system ranging from A to F.
Why the homework option may not appear
Several players have reported confusion because homework is not stored physically. If you cannot find the option:
- The Para may not have received homework yet
- The Para might not be enrolled in school
- The computer could be unusable or inaccessible
- Another Para may already be using the PC
- Para may not have children who could receive homework
Community reports confirm the interaction only appears after active school assignments are generated.
