[NEEDS SAVES] [HSY] Can’t follow teen sims to highschool

[ Edited ]
★★★ Newbie

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 25.52
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them, including high school years
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure
What happens when the bug occurs? Teen sims automatically go to highschool alone and there is no option to follow them
What do you expect to see? An option to follow teen sims to highschool
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

I removed all mods and custom content and “repaired” the game in origin. All other high school aspects seem to work, just can’t go to school with my teens.

Marked as Solution for Visibility. This is still an open issue.


 

I'm currently not sure about this issue.

 

There seem both mod related and non mod related component.

 

Please make sure to remove or update your mods.

 

Please remove any mods. The thread for this is here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-and-Mod-CC-Issues/MOD-RELATED-Teens-still-go-to-rabbit-hole-school/m-...

 

Possible Culprits:

 

  • Mods (like any mod that already added a school)
  • You have follow not turned on on the career tab
  • The first day might not work. Depending of when you enter the game, the game might already be locked on rabbithole. Try the next day.

If you still have this issues with all mods/cc removed and it still happens on consecutive days, please send me your save game.

 

If your issue is mod related, please use the other thread if you can't find the culprit. There have been a few mentioned there. Any posts about mods being the cause will be moved over to the other thread.

Good Luck

Same.  They just go to school like normal.

This makes the absolute main feature of the expansion pack WORTHLESS.  

How can you sell an expansion pack and BREAK THE FEATURE IT ADVERTISES.

HI @BreeJean97 @Lapin_Demoness 

 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

 

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

 

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

 

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

 

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • ConfigOverride, if you have your own configuration files.
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Good Luck

★★ Guide

Side question: Is "Enable Follow Messages" set to On, or Off? - If set to "Off" they just attend school as before the new expansion pack.

 

Under Career Panel.

I've marked it by a red arrow on my snapshot.

@nunezj23 @Mbibiaz

have you both tried the factory reset described above and tested a new save ? Especially if the school menu looks like before.

Sorry if this sounds little silly, but have you tried playing till the next sim day? For me when I loaded it was monday and all of my teen sims went to school without asking me... Next day everything worked normal. Standard smile

@BreeJean97 I’m happy I’m not the only one with this issue. They gave me the option at first and after I exited the game and came back it was gone.
