This is why it is important for a toddler to never transition such that the very next day is a school day.

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

This is Awesomeland rules. For normal gameplay, when your toddlers transition is of minimal effect. It's ridiculously easy to get up to an A+ after just a couple school days. If I didn't have hardergrades and avoid directing child skilling apart from what they have wants for, all my simkids would be geniuses.

Zazazu, is this the hack you're using? Which version do you use?

Ah, I see.  Thanks for the clarification.  I have noticed that if you age a toddler up during school hours on a school day, you'll get this stupid "spawn missed school and lost a grade" and their grade goes down to a D!  I was shocked when that happend, but when the sibs got home from school, the newly transitioned child (the one with a D from "missing school") scrolled on wants to "do homework" and "learn to study".  Sibs had all leared to study already, so I had mom teach the "new" child to study with his brother's homework!   :D

Yeah, it's really very easy to get an A+.  What does that harder grades hack do?  Does it make it so kids/teens actaully have to do homework every single day?  lol  I usually have them do all thier homework anyway, since you can't delete it even with moveobjects once they got to uni.   :-\

Not exactly. I get it here.

Gastfyr, never age spawn up during school hours. I usually age right at 6 pm or when they are at an appropriate tiredness level to go to sleep at the proper time once they transition.

And looking below I see why Pescado has the grade woes he does. I always prompt aging and don't let them do it autonomously.

So I should always time transitions on either Friday or Saturday, amiright?
Friday/Saturday/Sunday are all good. Alternatively, you can force premature transition after 1500 (school out) but before 1800 (age-up) on Mon-Thu, resulting in the subsequent loss of a day at 1800, putting you at 7 days and thus avoiding the penalty.
