No parent in college cutscene
V:
I have a small dorm that I put in just so that I get the cut scene for each teen. I named it something like, "Starting Point". I put in Inge's Stay Things Shrub and activated it so that I don't have to refurnish after each move. Immediately after the cut scene I save and exit and move the new YA to one of the actually working dorms.
I only did this because I like the cut scene. 8)

My hereditary household on campus is a frat, so my Sims have to move into a dorm first!

I've always had the cutscene play - whether the 1st kid or the 5th!
I have a dorm that I put the teen in to get the cutscene, then move that one out and put him/her in another, already occupied dorm. If there's another, then I put that teen in the same empty dorm for the cutscene again, move out, etc. I've been doing this for a long time with no problem.
I don't use the stay shrub because I don't need to. The stuff stays there anyway. Even when I thought it would disappear, it never did.
I just sent another set of twins the day before this happened with no problem. I'm thinking one of this set of twins may have a problem, though.
Both of these guys were in green asp when I sent them to college. One of the two would show a red hourglass above his head at the end of the cutscene when I put him in the dorm I always use for the drop off. So I exited without saving, moved him back into the bin (he stays a teen when you do this), and tried putting him into another empty dorm, one of the 4 I use for playing. He had the red hourglass here, as well.
So I decided to try a new dorm I had just gotten ready (already on campus, I just put some things on the lot to prepare it for use), since these two are the first of the 4th generation heading to college, and I'm trying to keep them separate from the 3rd gen college kids who are still there. Still didn't get a parent, but he had the regular hourglass, indicating he grew up well.
What's funny about that is the fact that I name the dorms after the founders of the hood - Forrest Green Hall, Stone Blue Dorm, etc. Without thinking about who would be going into this dorm, I had named it after his (well, their) paternal great-grandfather. So he has the same last name as the founder the dorm is named after.
The other twin grew up well no matter which empty dorm I put him in, but I didn't get a parent for him, either. I guess their parents just don't care!
Another thought I had was that these two were "conceived" on campus when their father was alien abducted using the EDS. I had to suspend the pregnancy with the Insim, and when Dad graduated and went back to the family home he popped out right away. I have a suspicion that this may be related to that bug from whichever EP it came with - OFB?
And the dad married the girl who was the result of the first abduction via EDS on campus I had. She was born at Uni and I had to teleport her to the family home when her dad graduated. (Didn't do it on purpose, they met at college and fell in love.)
Ah, I do love my sims! They make their own story lines without any help from me!
