Kids and Teens won't go to custom school

Post by MangMang327 » July 26th, 2019, 11:53 am

Hello,

I installed some custom schools for my kids, and every time I enroll them and it's time to go to school, the action of going to school will just vanish as if I cancelled it. It happens to every custom school except for the default one and home school (obviously). This are the custom schools I installed.

If they don't go to school it will say that my kids are skipping school

Well, the obvious things first (sorry if this is too obvious), but you have both the NRaas Careers mod and the Careers School add-on module in play? And do these things also happen if you enroll a teen in one of the custom private schools that comes with the NRaas mods (e.g, Arts at the Community Theater or Science at the Science Center, etc.)?

Also worth checking, if you have StoryProgression set to regard these schools as private, might the sims in question have "bad" formal outfits standing in for uniforms that should perhaps be replaced if they are unable to spin into them?

If none of that helps, this might be a better question for the creator of the custom schools. They were only just recently released and am I sure they would be able to help and would love the feedback.

Hi
This is a old thread but I've been experiencing the same issue for a while but with the custom schools the mod comes with (arts, music, science) I can force the child or teen to go to the school using master controller > intermediate > careers > go to school which is why I just let it be but I'm currently doing a scenario where I'm jumping between households so I can't apply that fix at the moment. I've tried the fixes you've mentioned above evening reinstalling the mods but no dice . Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance

I'm having the same problem as MistyHunter997. I've used the theatre school a number of times without many problems, but this is the first time at any other school than the standard one. I just enrolled my teens in the science academy (they aged up Fri and Sun) but wouldn't go to school on Monday. Tuesday morning, they still wouldn't go to school, which brought me here. Using master controller > intermediate > career > go to school finally got them on their way. Am I going to have to do this every day?

With storyprogression, did you set this too
Options: Careers \ Options: School \ Considered Public School ?

MadDoctor61 Some of the science centers in the game don't work for me with the mod's school system, specifically all the texture variants of the science center you find in Sunset Valley or many other towns. The students will always cancel the automatic push and have to be sent there manually. They will also cancel any first manual push you did before the automatic one triggers and only honor the second one, so that isn't an option, either.

The only workarounds I know of are, either, disallow science centers as schools, or use a different science center rabbithole, like the one from Sunlit Tides or the combo ones with hospitals.

I just tried looking for that setting and couldn't find it. Do you go through City Hall or the Science Facility?

I wonder how that will work with Jynx's Rabbit Hole Rugs in the custom lots I'm working on for my new world?

Sorry to be a pain, but I can't find it. The FAQ says the same thing you did.

I've tried:
City Hall/NRass/Story Progression/
Science Facility/NRass/Story Progression/
Sim/NRass/Story Progression/

Can it be that you don't have Storyprogression Careers module installed? StoryProgression

In the mod documentations all options of a mod are listed and shortly explained plus information if a module is needed
