Seasons: Plant sims
maxon:
Yeah, but then some kids would barely go to school at all. I prefer having them out of the house for the day. It's bad enough they're home at the weekend.
Edit:
In fact, just doing some sums: without modding anything (like age lengths and season lengths)-
If you have
1. a toddler age-transition on a Friday evening
2. summer starts (for 5 days) on the Monday
3. child therefore has summer vacation starting Monday
4. autumn will arrive the following Saturday when the child is not at school
5. the child will have aged to teen on the Friday anyway
Which means the sim will never go to school as a child. In fact, any child who aged to child at the weekend would not go to school as a child with a summer vacation mod providing the summer started on the Monday. I'd guess you wouldn't be able to give them just a few days off during summer unless you maybe used the coding which allows snow days?

Here's a question, can NPCs become PlantSims? I noticed my gardener spraying my plants... Should I fire and stop hiring gardeners, or can they spray without consequence?
Also, can Servos become PlantSims, and is this a BadThing?
amjoie:
Why not just pop in a "no school anytime" mod, and pretend you are homeschooling. It would work for summer vacation, also, but might be a hastle to have to restart (after taking it out and putting it back in, seasonally).
The mod I have is from Carrigon, who is now over at Simlogical (Inge's revived site), but you have to register to see her stuff, otherwise she's invisible. Carrigon's no school mod for Pets is officially verified as working in Seasons.
I agree it would be nice to have a mod that automatically excused the kids for the summer, but I don't know how that could be implemented. I'm not sure it would be possible to season-link it. (And some people think summer vacation is unnecessary coddling of children -- at least those who are no longer required to go out into the field to work on crops from dawn to dusk, which is why schools used to be closed for the summer.)

Not to mention then you have those accursed little monsters running around underfoot, and I'm like, "Shouldn't you be in school?"

Hmm, I see your point. Would it perhaps be possible to have a mod that would give them say, one weekday off in the middle of the summer? Or of each season, for that matter--that way you'd also have Spring break, Christmas vacation and, I dunno, Halloween or something.
