The thing is, the kids and teens get on the bus, I check every one and make sure their lazy plumbob is actually on the bus, but sometimes when I look later they're standing outside of their own home not in front of the school and their stats say skipping school while their grades plummet.
I guess I'll be using the boarding schools and the school choices in the NRAAS mod more often. It's not that many kids/teens actually. Just three or four that I first started having the problem with then it was just two of the teens. Most of them have aged up into young adults, but I still worry about the issue occurring again.
I experienced had occasions where I found them skipping school and they get in trouble by an adult in the house. One time I even had the grandma (who lives with them) stop her work at the school, go outside, and scold every single one of her grandchildren that was waiting outside of the school to get inside. The hold up that time was the grandma taking the time to scold them. Lag doesn't help much either. Of course, I let all of them off by cancelling the moodlet.
I have motives on static so the toddlers shouldn't need to be picked up at all. I don't understand why everyone wants to pick them up as soon as they age up. No one wants to pick up the toddler who is almost child age which is strange. They just insist on cancelling out everything and picking up the toddlers who just aged up, but then they just stand around and do nothing. This issue seems to stop when I put a book in front of the toddlers.
I had the eldest toddler playing in the backyard while everyone was enjoying playtime on spooky day, (no trick or treating anymore most of the time they succeed at one house and the rest are either unoccupied or no one is home or the game crashes), and when I sent them inside to go to bed I forgot to have someone get her too. When I realized that I forgot her, the sim I sent outside to get her autonomously put her down three times and I had to repeat the command each time before they would actually carry the toddler inside and put her on the floor and not on the ground.
I guess I got used to the toddlers climbing the steps in sims 4 and forgot that it's not in sims 3. But that's okay. No I don't miss playing sims 4...much.
