One of my adult Sims reached lvl 6 on mischief skill and got the option on his phone to "play hooky".
As I kow play hooky means bunk of school OR work in the US. Since the translation in the German version is "Schule schwänzen", bunk of school, I´m confused.
I´ve read that this option is for Teens to bunk off school.
I want to know how play hooky is meant in the game. Is it for Teens only, than it is buggy because my adult Sim has gotten the option.
Is it meant for sims from Teens age, f.e. to bunk work too as an adult Sim, than the German translation is missleading.
Thanks and greetz 😉
Hello @JochenWeiss
As @crinrict say its meaning is somewhat wider in English.
Verb. play hooky. (idiomatic, US) To play truant; to avoid (informally: skip) school, work, or other duties (stay away from these without permission or an excuse); to skive (UK). Plenty of people played hooky from work to go see the movie on opening day.
Some times certain verbs simply can not be accurately translated to another languages.
