Re: [HSY] [DU] Aging down Sims in CAS causes issues with degrees

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.90.358.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? High school years, cottage living, snowy escape, eco lifestyle, discover university, island living, get famous, seasons, cats & dogs, city living, get together, get to work, dream home decorater, journey to batuu, realm of magic, strangerville, jungle adventure, spa day, outdoor retreat, paranormal, laundry day, fitness, vintage glamour, movie hangout, luxury party, courtyard oasis.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I encountered the bug when my teen sims aged up due to the aging bug, after installing the high school pack. They got a notification saying they either graduated or dropped out and got the coresponding traits. I returned them to their original ages using testingcheats and cas.fulleditmode. They however kept the graduation/dropout traits (couldn't remove them) and at least the ones with the dropout trait didn't get the option to go to highschool (don't know if the trait is related).
What happens when the bug occurs? Some of my teen sims do not get the option to go to high school. The careers menu is empty, they don't get the option to go to school or to enroll back into school (I tried to see if I could enroll them again by searching for an option to do so in the careers menu, the computer, I tried letting them just do homework as I saw this in another post (but they can't)). I also can't seem to be able to remove the traits they got upon aging.
What do you expect to see? Either teens should be enrolled in high school autmatically or get the option to enroll again when they're not. Preferably I'd also like to be able to remove the traits they mistakingly got.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After I installed the highschool pack

My teen sims aren't enrolled in high school after I aged them back down. When they aged up due to the aging bug they automatically gained the traits 'graduated' or 'drop out'. I changed their ages back to teens in cas, but at least those with the drop out trait aren't enrolled in high school. I can't get them to enroll back in or have their traits removed.

    @ChantalcMaria I'm going to merge your report with another thread on something similar.

    Seems that aging down Sims causes issues with the degrees.

    Happened to mine, too.  Super frustrating.  Aged up because of bug.  Used CAS to age back down.  No option to re-enroll in high school.  


    Saw on a different page to try to delete the “dropout” trait (not hopeful) so I’m gonna try that first before I just create another family member (and hope they don’t fall in love with one another).

  • Same thing happened to me. Did the cheat code work? If so could you tell me it?

  • Same happened with me! Try to find something to fix this issues but its hopeless. Could u hmu here if u find out how can i put back my sim to HS. Thanks a lot!

    I have an answer that worked for me — once you have the cheat bar pulled up type: traits.remove_trait trait_hsexit_dropout 

    Now it has my sim as a hs F student.  I’ll take that. 

    Removed the 2 fears associated to the drop out with satisfaction points and buy the fear gone potions (2 for me)….
