Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Take a class at university that requires a term paper to be written. Edit the paper until it is outstanding quality, then submit it. Wait for the end of term.
What happens when the bug occurs? Despite attending every class, doing every homework assignment,studying, going up three skill points, and submitting an outstanding-quality term paper, I have had a Sim experience an unexplained failure in the class. Yes, an outright F, with an outstanding-quality term paper.
What do you expect to see? Sims should not fail a class when they haven't missed a single beat, submitting an outstanding term paper on top of that. It's as if the game isn't recognizing when a term paper has been submitted.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
There was another thread on this issue, and it was supposedly resolved. But I don't think it was, since I just had a Sim experience it, so I'm re-opening the discussion. I have since deleted the file in question, but I do think this needs attention. My Sim did everything right, including submitting a term paper of outstanding quality. Despite this, however, they still got an F in the class somehow. I've marked this as an occasional bug because, in a previous term with a class that required a term paper, this did not occur. If it helps, the specific class that this occurred with was the photography elective.
I have yet to see this occur in regular exam-type classes or classes that require a presentation. So far, it has only happened with a class that requires a term paper.
