What would cause a teen to not go to school?
myskaal:
I posted this over at the InTeen forum because that mod is the one that made this idea possible to begin with. I thought, though, that with the variety of people that come here I may have a better chance at finding a solution:
I'm attempting to complete an experiment (of sorts) that I had started a few Xpacks ago and never finished. The goal was to populate an entire hood playing Legacy style with the added twist of starting the founding sim out as a teen. InTeenimater and the ability for teens to live on their own is what made this possible to begin with. Having long ago given up that hood (along with the entire game) I no longer have any reference point and created a spanking new hood and fresh off the CASboat sim for such purposes.
Ok so, with the sim modder the sim is aged from adult to teen. Their grade, naturally, is set as an F. The teen starts at the full 14 days but just in case I've also intalled the No Adult Teens flavor pak. The problem I'm running into is that the sim just will not get on the bus to go to school. I've made sure his mood is entirely green and have even tried adjusting his grade up to C with no change. The action just disappears from his queue - no matter where on the lot he is standing. I've had him run right up to the bus doors and then clicked for him to go to school. The action disappears and he wanders off to attempt to read a book...
Now I don't think this is an InTeen issue (unles something has changed since the last time I tried this). When I did the experiment before I had InTeen and the teen had absolutely no trouble going to school starting from day 2 (Tuesday) when the bus showed up. He followed to auto-queue just fine.
So I'm hoping maybe some tossing about will pull out a clue as to what's making this particular teen *not* go to school. Any ideas or little/well known facts on what would make a sim teen ignore the bus queue?

I haven't played with this all that much mearly wanting in my game because if i actualy want my teens to be whores i can ..seems i mearly just want the option but don't actualy use it.
So its probably the fact that he's an indipendant teen and that the code for this had to be tweaked so the game saw them as "adult" try temporarily moving in an adult and see if it changes or if that doesn't work, setting the adult as a parent using the insim tree, and see if it changes anything. This is mearly testing my theory however.

Do you have syberspunk's harder grades? If so, make sure it is the inteenimated version you'll find in my forum section. The normal version can cause conflicts with the inteen.
Also, the college admissions flavourpack cannot be used together with no adult teens.

Problem solved.
I have the InTeenimated Syberspunk's harder grades in and that, indeed, was what was causing this. I think it has to do with the grade level and his inability to afford any logic building toys, though, rather than an actual conflict. I think it's coded that way on purpose - which is fine, just makes it impossible to start a teen off going to school in this fashion.
Anyway, temporarily removed to get this kid rolling. Thanks for the replies!

Hrm... I don't have InTeen and I haven't looked at the InTeenimated version of my harder grades hack... but... as far as I know, the hack shouldn't prevent sims from going to school. It might prevent their grades from improving if they lack the required skills... but it shouldn't make the interaction of going to school drop out of their queue. ???
I would definitely make sure you have the appropriate, most updated version for your EPs then.
One of these days... I plan on starting a separate account on my machine for an InTeenimated game. I just never got around to it, but perhaps I will now that I have a new puter. I think I might just reboot my Legacy Game with InTeen.
