Hi all!I've looked back at the last ten pages or so and couldn't find a similar question.Okay. So my Sim family have three children, one girl and twins, a boy and a girl. Before the family had the twins, the girl went to her ballet club on Monday's, Tuesdays and Thursdays with no problem. However, after the twins were born and then started school, she wouldn't go. Her sister went with no problem, but she'd stand around outside the school for two sim hours, then cycle home at 5 o'clock with her sister.Now, she's a teen and the twins are still children. I enrolled her in the Drama and Debate clubs. So she starts at her first day of High School on the Friday and is supposed to have Debate club after school, but she won't go. Instead, she caught the taxi home.Anyone else having this issue? If yes, has anyone found a way to fix it? It's kind of annoying :( Thanks in advance!

It has something to do with Field Trips. When they have a field trip day, they don't have their after-school activity, this is normal. However, sometimes they get stuck in permanent field-trip mode, and this causes them to not go to their activities nor take the bus home from school. It also happens if, say you have a teen and a child in the family, if the teen has a field trip but the child does not, the game still sees the child as being on a field trip too, so they don't attend their club. It's a weird glitch and is kinda random, sometimes it doesn't happen at all. Installing twallan's Error Trap will, I believe, correct the issue when you reload the game.

I thought it was just me! :cry: Same issue, my now teen sim is supposed to be in the art activity, and on those days, she exits the school, sits on the sidewalk and does her homework, then stands around till 4. Same thing as a child with ballet. And If I click on the go to after school activity at that point, it says that she must attend class before activity. :roll:

Yeah, that's exactly what I've been getting. And it's only the eldest. Her sister goes to her ballet class with no problem. It's so irritating :cry:

I've only ever had this issue in Barnacle Bay. Never in any of the other towns. It's probably totally coincidental, but it's not the first time I've had issues only in that world :?

THEY WOULDNT GO IN!and then they came home, then got in trouble D:They keep missing school even though I sent them!

Not attending after-school clubs :(

I've had the same thing happen to me. I think it's a bug when you have more than one child in school.

i have noticed if you let them go on field trips and are signed up for after school classes they no longer go to them canceling school trips will keep them going to them.

It's definitely the field trips. I don't think I'm going to let them go on anymore trips, they're messing with the clubs too much :?

I fixed it, for anyone else experiencing this I installed:

Twallan's OverWatch, and Twallan's Master Controller
they can be found here: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/
(I also have his Story Progression, and Debug Enabler mods installed)

I deleted my cache files, info on how to do that here:
http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Sims_3_Delete_Cac
he_Files

I loaded my most recent saved game and clicked on a computer in my Sim family's home.
First I selected NRaas -> OverWatch -> Settings -> Clean up Situations = True.
Second I selected NRaas -> Master Controller -> Town -> Reset Everything.

I'm having this same problem myself. I was able to get both of my children to quit their afterschool activities in scouting, idk if having them resign up will fix it, but I'm gonna try that. If that doesn't work I'll try that replacing the school thing.

I hate mods, so I really don't wanna have to use that solution. They cause too many other problems in my games most of the time, so I refuse to use them. So if this doesn't work I'm gonna need some more help on fixing this problem.
