Grades and Aging

The no aging hack cannot affect school grades.
It seems to freeze grades in my game (or contribute to freezing grades). The situation was one where I swtiched aging back on and the teens went up from C+ to B+ on Friday, then I installed your hack and reset their ages. This immediately froze their grades again. Removing the hack and allowing them to age one day allowed normal grade increase to resume. I'm using CAS teens and I don't know if that makes a difference.
J. M. Pescado:
The aging hack does not affect grades. However, age itself affects grades in a completely seperate code. This particular "effect" is actually deliberately coded into the game for some incomprehensible reason, as a specific penalty. Since an aging hack thus never allows a sim to advance beyond that penalty day, same as Aging Off, the penalty continues to be applied and their grades never increase until you change their day.
Dopp:
It all makes sense now. Thanks. I'll just let all my CAS Sims age one day before installing Inge's hack, then make sure I age all subsequent generations up on appropriate days to avoid the penalty.
Inge:
Tunaisafish found where the problem was and I have made a seperate fix for it at http://simlogical.com/slforum/index.php?topic=1952.0
The reason I decided to make it seperate is that it is a problem that could also affect players who are not using my no-aging but are using SimBlender or InSimenator to alter days left etc.
It was just a stupid pointless bit of code EA put in so that lack of homework would not mean they had actually done some. However, since the grade increase is only going to occur while a kid is at school anyway, why the hell wouldn't they have got a grade increase just by doing their work *at* school well?

Is that what the motivation for that piece of code was? I found it ages ago, and always wondered what on Earth the purpose of it was, but given that it was obviously intentional, I left it alone. As for "lack of homework not meaning they had actually done some", that seems like a bizarre interpretation. I'm not sure I follow, given that lack of homework DOES count as homework being done.
