Grades and Aging
Inge:
Well in the new attempt to appeal to "hardcore gamers" that was introduced with Sims 2, getting your sims to do their homework is regarded as a mini-challenge. So they try to make sure the sim can't get good grades without doing it, even down to making sure they can't accidentally get a good grade just because there is no homework due to them not having been at school before.
The amount of hassle this causes for people with aging off, or who use other age cheats, just isn't worth it though.
I am keeping it as a seperate patch as it will not only be useful for people who use my particular no-aging patch. Also some people who do use my no-aging patch will wish to get round it in different ways, such as using SimBlender to move them on by one or more days. Then they won't be forced to have a more complicated hack than they required.

I play with aging off constantly, and grades do rise.
Inge:
Well that's why I kept it seperate. Not everyone will want to have it, if they are happy without

If your sims are frozen on their first day of the life stage, then you are not getting the 'homework' part of the grade change calculation applied. Install Inge's patch to fix that. There are other factors of the calculation such a mood that are taken into account.
Before I found the homework bug, I had a household of orphans where grades were permanently frozen at C+, irrespective of mood.
I think they start at C so there might have been one increase. Still looking into that part. It might be a an EA bug or another subtle conflict with the mods I use.

I didn't see a "homework" part. There isn't any homework involved in that particular grade penalty, it was simply "If current day = day 0 of age category, NO SOUP FOR YOU!".
