Unable to go to school & no school bus?

Yes this did occur in Riverview. I have yet to play a family in Sunset Valley so I don't know about the school bus there. I have not seen a school bus in TS3 yet at all.
I think this may be an issue with Riverview, then, as when I started playing The Sims 3, I played Sunset Valley and had no problems with the school bus or sim-kids skipping school; it's only after starting a new game in Riverview that I have experienced the tardy sim-children issues.

I played Sunset Valley for about a week. I've been playing Riverview ever since. I always have the school bus show up for the family I'm playing. Kids in other houses ride their bikes. And I don't have to switch lots to tell them to go to school.
The only time I have to worry about someone not getting to work or school is when some stupid sim decides to visit at 6 am and the sim that isn't leaving for work/school is chatting with the visitor. They don't seem to want to quit talking and leave!
Maybe you need to try the fixall cheat. I don't know if it will work for the bus problem, but it helped me with another problem I was having, so it's worth a try.

Thanks ElviraGoth...I hadn't heard of the fixall cheat. I used that resetlot cheat at someone's suggestion and all the kids in my family started going to school again but still no bus. They all rode their bikes and then when teenagers and I assigned them cars, they drove those. However that cheat seemed to bork the relationships panel. When I click on the relationship panel, it doesn't necessarily show me the relationships for the active sim. When I click on family, sometimes the active sim is there and I can tell by who's missing, who's relationship panel it is. If I click back and forth between all and family it eventually shows me the panel for the active sim. Also every sim in the family seems to have lost many of the relationships they had but the last square in every family members panel is a solid red square with no relationship and can't be adjusted positive or negative.
Also "move out" is borked. As each teen becomes a young adult, I wanted them to move out so eventually I'm left with the one child I decided to actually continue on with. If I select "Kick out", the sim disappears and never shows up again. When I tell them to move on the phone, I get the usual screen but it wants to give the sim moving out ALL of the family funds leaving nothing for the rest of the family and I can't accept it unless I make the sim moving out the active household.
coconnor - I thought about saving the family to the bin and putting them in a restart but the story that was playing out was too good and I doubt I could "force" some of the things that have occurred autonomously. I also figured they would lose relationships, skills, etc. So I am suffering through since this was the first time ever in Sims I was trying to play through several generations. It's frustrating at times but I' managing.
