My teen sim won't stop sneaking around nor will he learn to drive

I think it is the sneaking that prevents learning to drive. I tried resetting him. He got in trouble so much for going to school while grounded that he never stopped sneaking even when he was no longer grounded.

    Random thing to try that might do something.

    1. Open your cheat console
    2. Type in: testingcheatsenabled true
    3. hit enter
    4. go to the sim and while holding shift and ctrl down - click on him
    5. choose edit sim
    6. make him a different age and exit CAS
    7. he'll be all distorted - so reset him (assume you know how to do that)
    8. then go ahead and do exactly the same process above - but make him a teenager again

    Has he stopped sneaking around?

    Does he still have a moodlet related to being grounded or something like that? 

    Maybe try moving him out via edit town and then back in. 

  • The moodlet has been gone for a long time. I have edited town, I have moved the whole family. He still sneaks around like he is in trouble. I have reset him several times too. 

  • Move him out and back in via edit town. That should reset the sneaking.

  • I did that already. he never quit sneaking. His prom glitched and he skipped it even though the game acted like he and his girlfriend went. He still will not learn to drive as well. He ages up soon.

  • He finally quit sneaking after he missed prom. He still won't learn to drive but he will grow up today and I don't feel like struggling through his teen years again. Thanks for telling me that cheat. I did not know about that one. I know building cheats but since I build more than I pay I am clueless about most Sim character cheats.

  • I have tried this many many times, makes no difference either. Wish there was a mod to correct this. moved houses, reset more times than i can count, lost a trait because of the age up and back down(got it for nerd influence) edited whole family in town mode as well. Idk what else to do.
