Sending townie teens to uni

<< < (2/2)

SaraMK:
I think the first thing to do is to make sure the teens are actually marked as teens in SimPE. I read somewhere that batch-creating townies can cause weird things to happen. In fact I think there was a thread here somewhere with someone having a problem sending townie teens to college too. A quick search didn't bring it up, but I'm almost positive it was here in Podium or You Broke It.

Nevermind, here:

And my original thread reporting the problem in December...

I've used workarounds to get the two teens into uni that I was interested in, I'll start checking simpe when I locate another.

ETA: Target located - Jill Sims.  Does NOT show up in the send sims to uni menu.

Family instance: 0x7FFE
Treat as: Female
Life section: Teen
Remaining days: 14
Species: Human
School type: Public
Grade: C

Checking in simpe, I find that the downtownies that can be sent have days remaining as 0.  Which would appear to be a possible solution, except for the fact that the NPC that can be sent also has days remaining set at 14.

Ness:
Double posting because the modify button is lagging like mad.

I borked the hood in simpe - not sure what I did, but after I'd been in there, the hood wouldn't load, and would completely terminate the program.

I've now been through 3 test hoods checking out the problem.

Hood 1:  Townies created, Uni attached, townies could go to uni.
Hood 2:  Uni attached, Townies created, townies could go to uni.
Hood 3:  Uni created, Uni played for a bit, townies created, townies could not go to uni.

The key seems to be in whether the uni has been played before the townies are created (which is what I had done with my now dearly departed hood).  Can anyone confirm the situation with Hood 3, to see if this problem is reproducible?

JenW:
I tested Ness' scenario #3, and I got the same results. I played a Sim through uni, created townies, then went back to the uni. No teens were available to send to college.
