Grades and Aging
Dopp:
Using the aging off cheat, turning Sims immortal (vampires etc) or switching off aging using Insim prevents teens and children from improving their grades unless some arcane formula is followed. Somebody on MATY mentioned Inge released a hack that switches aging off but allows grades to improve. I tried it but it also seems to freeze grades. Exactly what causes these frozen grades and how can I unfreeze them while keeping aging of?
J. M. Pescado:
Frozen Grades is caused by the "first day effect". If you freeze a sim's age immediately after he transitions, his grades are similarly frozen. If you allow a day to elapse so that nobody is on the first-day-immediately-after-transition (8,15), grades will function normally. This is why it is important for a toddler to never transition such that the very next day is a school day.
Dopp:
So I should always time transitions on either Friday or Saturday, amiright?
Also, I assume that if you used elixir of life or otherwise reset a Sim teen/kid back to zero days elapsed, his grades would freeze again? This seems to be happening to me. I switched aging back on and their grades went up to B+, but I reset their ages over the weekend and installed Inge's no aging hack. Their grades froze solid again.
Inge:
The no aging hack cannot affect school grades. Not sure if the ageing off cheat can.

Does this only apply if someone is using some sort of aging off cheat? Or do you mean even in normal non-cheating gameplay?
