What happened to "Write Term Paper"?
Strangel:
I'm having a similar issue with my newest dorm.
I started a set of sisters out on renting a property so I could set it up the way I wanted, then switched the lot to "dorm", exited, re-entered, etc. BEFORE I switched it to dorm, they could write term papers, do group research (or single research), save leftovers.. AFTER I switched it and re-entered, there were no such options on plates, computers, and bookshelves. I didn't notice it until I set all three on Rampage and caught one of them frozen in front of the bookcase with the icon flashing faster than a strobe light. I've been having them do multiple assignments and then cheating the "Write Term Paper" want on those that get it.
I haven't played any sims through Uni in a while, but I remember after I put in Seasons, even the dorms were capable of saving leftovers. I made a point of stocking a dozen bowls/plates in each dorm for after-hours parties and mid-study snacking.

Just to throw a different wrench into the gear, but i've never had the 'Influence term paper' glitch UNTIL installing Seasons. I've never played the Vanilla Base game tho, started with University/FFS/Base at the same time. Added NL (still no glitch). Adding Seasons and the glitch showed it's ugly head (Patched). No Pets/BV EP.
Actually, that's the same wrench. :D Both the turning Autumn glitch, and the borken influence are due to Seasons. Influencing term papers came only with Uni (think about it ;)) and worked fine until Seasons, which is the highest EP I have. I s'pose it's perversely reassuring that nothing has changed with BV. ::)

If you are using Monique's computer, that can cause it too.
No, I'm not using that. Come to think of it, I do have a hack that lets teens move out that's enabled on the computer in addition to the newspaper, but since I'm bumping into known issues here I doubt that's the problem.
Strangel:
In mine, term papers have returned, but not so the leftover saving and group/single research.
seelindarun:
I don't think your term paper/leftovers issues are from the same bug. Did you change lot zoning while the lot was occupied? If so, that might have been the cause. I change lot zoning all the time with no problems, but only on unoccupied lots.
Loss of term papers from changing seasons to Autumn, and by influencing a playable while on a different lot, are both EAxis bugs. They are reproducible in a vanilla game (no CC) without using any cheats at all. I tested it before hunting for a hack conflict.
