This is related to the following threads:

 

The issue is the same in the files.  There is no check to see if the social is age appropriate or if the social should be performed.  Instead of having multiple threads for each instance, I am consolidating them into one.  These are the basic issues.

 

  • The convince social can be used on toddlers
  • The convince social can be used on children to perform actions that are not appropriate for their age group
    • Cooking
    • Do a Keg Stand
    • Do Homework
    • Streak
  • Sims can convince other adults and teens who are not enrolled in University to do their homework.  The asked Sim will pull out the homework and it will disappear.
  • Sims can convince household members to do their homework.  The asked Sim will pull out the homework and it will disappear.
  • Sims can convince multiple Sims at once to do their homework for the same class.  The Sims will do the homework all at once.
  • If there is no counter available, using the convince > cook option will cause the Sim to get a drink of water or a salad.  This option should be grayed out if there is no counter available.  The food they get shows work lunch.

When the Sim is convinced to complete an action that they cannot do the Sims may reset or do nothing.

 

The image below shows the convince social being used on a child Sim.

The tuning files don't have checks when it comes to the convince actions available to Sims.

 

The below pictures shows the food when convincing the Sim to cook.
