"School not in session" bug

My sim child in suddenly unable to go to school - when I try to send him, I get the message "School not in session".

I googled this problem and found some older forum threads. Apparently, this is a bug that happens either after sims travel, or after you add a new sim to the household (this checks out - there had been no travelling in this savee, but I did add a new sim to the household using NRAAS MC the previous sim day.)

The solution I found , suggested by @igazor , was to use NRAAS Debug Enabler and "Fix homeworld". I did that , but unfortunately it didn't help.

I also tried the solution some players mentioned: to evict this sim to the clipboard and move him in again. This didn't help either.

I also tried resetting him, but nothing changed.

Does anyone have an idea what else I could try? I'm thinking of enrolling him in boarding school as the last resort, but I prefer him to go to regular school if there's a possibility!

  • I had a field trip get stuck and had overwatch fix the stuck situation which fixed it so they went the next day.I also would add a second school if I needed to though I make sure it's near the end of a session before saving as and exiting the game.

    Update, in case someone with the same problem finds and reads this thread: "Fix homeworld" did work, I just needed to wait until the next school day, like @igazor said! ( @Goulsquash , I didn't see your advice on salvaging the current day on time, but thank you!) That meant waiting for two days because the next day was Spooky Day, but after that the school bus arrived and everything was fine - for me, at least. I don't think the child sim was happy about it - I think he had been enjoying this bug!

  • I like the way in which the (imagined) truant officer is sitting in the police car in the background to make sure this one gets on the school bus as he should. ;)

    Hahah, after noticing the police car, I thought this school bus is escorted by the police for some reason :lol:
