Force Teen Graduation?

Is there a way to Force Teen Graduation?

My teen drank the anti-aging potion (deliberate) but I want her to graduate high school so that she can attend college. Is this possible?

Ty!

You may want to look into this discussion: Can I make a teen sim go to college? - nraas

The (mostly superfluous) graduation feature from Generations doesn't actually have much to do with it, by vanilla standards it's purely the age restriction getting in the way. With the mod adjustments mentioned in the link above, you can bypass that entirely.

There aren't very many ways to do this.

One is to remove all schools from the world, then that removes the requirement that children and teens need an education. That is, of course, not likely what you want.

Another is to enroll the teen in Home Schooling (Careers mod, Schools module). They still have to do and submit homework to get a passing grade for high school, but then there is no attendance requirement to conflict with a Uni course schedule.

Other than that, teens have to go to school. Graduation (meaning the diploma granted upon completion) and the ceremony thing are for Young Adults, not Teens.

Yeah I'll have to do the home school thing then.

I'm also seeing Sim > MC > Intermediate > Career > 'Days off school'
- Does that mean university too? (I could set that to 999 if it's only for high school)


(ty for your answers ^_^)

Have to admit that I hadn't thought of using MC to grant the teen 999 days off. That couldn't include Uni as Uni Student is actually a career of its own and there's no state (world) mandated law to attend classes and lectures. If the Uni student doesn't show up as scheduled for any reason then their academic performance tanks, but they don't get into trouble beyond that. It's worth a try to see what happens.

This thread is reminding me of one of my favorite on-stage comedy routines.

"What's the matter with you? Didn't you go to high school stupid?"
"Yeah, and I came out the same way!" :P

Lol.

She went to high school for like 3-4 weeks until I realized that she'd never graduate. Next time I won't half-ass scan read random info...

Updated: It's works. I gave her a day off of school, the bus didn't come, and she went to university. It's a done deal, she's a freshmen in college (communications)! She's also written two horror novels!
