[OPEN] [DU] [HSY] Teenage uni students can't tutor

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.93.146.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a teenager graduate high school early and enroll in university while still a teenager
What happens when the bug occurs? Teenagers who have graduated early are unable to tutor others at the classroom buildings, like other university students can.
What do you expect to see? Teenagers who are enrolled in university should be able to fully participate in aspects of university that don't include adult situations - tutoring is not an adult situation.
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 

When playing a teenage sim who graduated from high school early, I enrolled them in university, and discovered they can't tutor at the classroom buildings. I can kind of understand not letting teenage students join clubs and organizations specific to university, but if they've got the skill levels, they should really be able to tutor. I then replicated the glitch in a completely mod free game just to make sure, googled and found others who have had this issue on reddit, but also couldn't find an active bug report related to it by searching 'tutor'.

    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    What is your current game version number? 1.75.2.2310
    What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? City Living, Discover University, Get Famous, High School Years, Nifty Knitting, Romantic Garden Stuff, Seasons, Tiny Living, Vampires, Vintage Glamour Stuff.
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? With the high school years pack make a teen sim graduate early and apply for a university and when you do that, go to the campus for whichever one of the two you picked and press on one of the buildings that the sim goes to and there’s usually supposed to be a tutor button there but it isn’t there for teens, only adults have that option.
    What happens when the bug occurs? It doesn’t let teens tutor in the university with the Discovery University pack.
    What do you expect to see? The tutor button to be an option for teen sims to pick, just like the adult sims can do.
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

    As a teen when applying for a university and when you press on any of the buildings that your sim goes to for class, the tutor option will be missing, and it only happens for teens and not adults or elders.

    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system?  Unsure.  I believe this is more an overlooked thing than anything caused by more expansions. 

    I should add that this is a requirement for my sims aspiration, which she will be unable to achieve now without running a cheat code, which I really don't like to do.

    Also would be nice if she would stop getting invitations to Prom while she is in college.

  • I find myself in the same situation, and it's been a year and a half since the original post.

    EA, will this get fixed?
