Excellent - thanks.  Would you mind if I posted this on another newsgroup?

My dog doesn't have complete bollocks - what are you saying?

Re: Bugger this backwards!

Is this physically possible?

Yes, basically - though the adult females always seem to default to that horrid burgundy shirt/tan trousers combo when you delete skins.  I removed Numenor's windows last week for some reason or other - oh to speed up loading because I wanted to look at something quickly - and when I went into a lot where I'd used them, they'd been replaced by the shop windows.  I exited without saving, put the windows back and they were there again when I went back.

I didn't say dog's I said complete.

Yeah I agree - I would really like grad students and mature students - being both myself I suppose.  And things like clubs and politics would have been great - there's a mod in the making maybe?  As an idea, it has lots of potential but I think you're right, Maxis did fudge it somewhat.  I too use Inteenimator but the only pregnancy I had there was when I forgot to switch on the birth control (how real is that?).  Oops.  Anyway, it worked fine and mother and baby are back in the main neighbourhood and have now (had to) move in with his parents till he graduates.

Complete bollocks - go on rip me

pfft

Speak for yourself - some of us are still there.

Tee hee - yus, I cudn't agree more.

oooo - Snap - I'm not grading a pile an inch thick.

Yup - I've just checked the original Inteen documentation and looked in my folders and indeed the noadultteens pack is missing.  So I've put it back and problem solved.  I knew if I asked here someone would be able to point me in the right direction.  Thanks everyone for your help.

Yes, thanks Sagana.  I just thought of that and came back to say so to find you'd all been talking about it.  I've been having a clear out recently and I have problems with nervous twitching (it's a neurological thing) - it's not at all unlikely that I grabbed the file while looking at the Inteen folder and moved it by accident.  I installed Inteen a really long time ago and although I did read the documentation then, I can't remember even a quarter of what it said (memory problems are also neurological thing!!).  I'll either have to try and find out where I moved the file to or dig out the original zipped download and reinstall it.  I love inteen - it's a cracking hack.

That's odd - I installed Inteen absolutely ages ago and only noticed this effect in the last week.  I've been having teenagers go to school right up until they left for college until now.

Thanks for all replies.  You're probably right but how it came about I don't know.  Blast.

OK here's the problem:

I had a teenager who stopped having the option to go to school (public).  When the bus came (for her younger brother - a child), she didn't get prompted to get on it and when I selected her a tried to click on it, I got the 'no actions possible' message.  I thought she was just bugged and as it was a Thursday and she was due to go to college at the weekend, she just stayed home for a couple of days and then went off.  Her A+ rating didn't drop.

That was fine.  As I said, I thought it was just a bug for that sim.  BUT I then went on to play another household with three teenagers and the problem repeated itself but with only one teenager - the oldest.  The other two went off to school just fine.  I have been trying to work out why.

I checked with SimPE (again because I did that with the girl too) and yes, he is coded as a teenager - he's shown as a teenager in game and has all the normal teenage options and information, wants and all the rest - he has an A+ rating for his (private) school and a teen-elder job. 

I wondered whether it might be a hack or a conflict between hacks.  I admit I have several hacks in my game - well, alright quite a lot of hacks (though I bet not as many as some of you).  Or is this a known bug that in all my avid reading I have simply not come across?  I pulled out all the most recent hacks I had installed but it made no difference.  I have been all over this site (and others) to see if there is anything I missed in the hack descriptions but I can't see anything that is related (except maybe Inteenimator conflicting with something?  If a female sim becomes pregnant, her schooling is suspended till the baby comes).  I did think about Inge Jones' school hacks, which can affect the school bus, but haven't yet installed them in my game.

I have made some progress though.  Noting that this teenager was the oldest of three (he had 7 days to go till he aged - I normally run my teenagers for their full time) - and that it was just before she went to college that I noticed the other teenager stopped school, I changed his age with SimPE making him a day younger.  Bingo - off he went.  So it's something related to age.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?  Or have I missed something?  It was a lot of effort getting him in to private school and, as far as I'm concerned, he's damn well going to go.  Thanks for any help.

I agree Mrs C is cool but is there any way to let your sims have interactions with her - like pranks or pokes?  Those are often the only options I get when I click on her but the instruction falls out of the queue.

I would love in game census reports. 

There's a banking computer by Monique over at MTS2 that lets you get mortgages for your sims (adds to the bills), the sims can invest money and donate to charity.  Combined with JMP's no 20KHandout hack - I find I can keep the sim poorer for longer.

Here's an irritatingly smug suggestion.  I test anything I put in the game without all my other Downloads in.  If I DL a set of something (and like a lot of people I don't DL much nowadays), I make a collection of the set while I'm testing it.  That way I can find the parts of the set easily when I want them again.

oooh - I've only just read this thread.  If you still have them Issy, can I have them too?

Whaaaaaaat?  Damn - I didn't get anything like that when I killed the 8 Jack Thompsons.

I want to be admonished.

And then you can ressurect them again - if you pay enough they will come back as normal sim beings.

My one and only zombie is called Jack Thompson.

Does this assume that all twins births are fraternal twins of different genders?  I have only ever had one set of brother and sister twins.  I've not had many twins (I don't use a hack) but of the six I have had (and can remember) all except that one were boy-boy or girl-girl.  Three of these pairs were identical.  I know they aren't identical in game terms but I have to dress them differently to tell them apart.

Thanks for everyone's advice about the tokens and other stuff in sim memories.  I just thought I'd pop back and mention one real oddity with this though.  I've just started a new sim in my neighbourhood called Bob Newbury (yes, that one).  I made him a janitor of a block of flats.  I've literally played him for three sim days and that's not long to get a lot of memories.  He has one token in there with this description:

Token - Misc Skill (owned by Therapist)

I really can't think what that is about.  He hasn't bottomed out with his aspiration (yet) BTW.  In fact, he's been quite happy and pretty social too (he's just met Betty).

Can I ask something(s) here while we're on the subject of the contents of the neighbourhood memory?

I have been deleting memories that don't belong to anyone - I figured that if no-one is owning up to them, they can't be that important.  And then I have also been deleting memories without a subject for a similar reason - can't be that memorable.  And then there are those memories that belong to the sim I am looking at but are an invisible copy of a memory they already have - I'm assuming they have had that passed back to them by some other sim.

But what about all those tokens for 'foods cooked well' and 'foods eaten'.  Can I get rid of those?  And also various other oddities.  I get the pregnancy modifier token now and the attraction markers and the furious and furious reverse stuff, but what about the Tokens for Misc Skills and why do they all seem to have the Gastronomique Podium Marker in the memories - sometimes more than once?  And what's the personal wealth one for?  Sorry - I probably shouldn't ask in someone else's thread but my fingers are itching to delete some of this.  Please tell me I can.

Yes if you put a phone on a community lot (not a pay phone AFAIK), the option is available.
