i've been playing without mods/cc the whole time i've had HSY and occasionally see this issue. there doesn't seem to be any particular thing making it happen, it's purely random. it's also happened when i sent a sim to the exam prep

Not sure if this is applicable since you said that you had removed your mods. Started having this issue after I used MCCC to slow down the game speed. Along with sims not able to attend class because it was careers day, lunch duration was set to something outrageous, like 18 hours. Seems to be some sort of time sync issue. Once I reset the game speed it seemed to fix the issue.

it says career ! and if I click it, looks like sim gonna do but it automatically canceled,

Was there any fix for this issue? This happens to me with all my teen sims every Friday which I think is supposed to be examsThe whiteboard just says career and my sim can't go to class and then it says they failed their exams! Which is really annoying. I've tried without mods and I still get the bug

I just got this glitch today. I was able to "fix" it by hitting shift and clicking on the board and picking attend class.

@Sninja96 Ahhhh the careers thing .. I've seen that in a game I tested. I'm not sure where it's coming from, Did it ever work ?

At what point did you remove the mods ?

@nimarellisto Did you also have 'Career' Showing on the white board ?

@crinrict Yes, career is showing on the whiteboard. Clicking it briefly adds it to the sim's queue and then it disappears.

@nimarellisto Thanks. It's certainly weird. I was able to replicate it on a save with removed mods so it seems to be persistent. Don't know if the user messed with the time though

Hey just wondering if you or anyone else seemed to find a way to fix this glitch? I tried canceling events such as love day, deleting the whiteboards and replacing them and even removing cc/mods & the glitch persist. I actually didn't get it when HS years first came out, but after the August 30th update that was supposed to fix things.

@littlemix1014 I haven't found a way to fix this, unfortunately

Do you have it on all teens ?

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I haven't had time to test it out with other teens in my game but yes, I get this glitch with all my teens. It's super annoying and didn't start until the August 30th update. I'm not sure what to do about it. Makes it impossible to really even use the highschool years pack, because a key part of gameplay doesn't work for me.

The "default" display name for the Whiteboard interaction seems to be "Careers".
The game then overrides this name with another one depending on what class is scheduled or if it is exam day.
It tests for:
Exam Day
Exam Prep
Art Class
Business Class
ComSci Class
Foreign Language Class
Arts Class
Math Class
Science Class
Social Studies Class
It seems the game is not recognizing, in some circumstances, what type of override text to use. There could be a variety of reasons for this. It would be helpful, I think, to know if this occurs during a specific class/exam, if it's always during a specific one or on every day the sim goes to school.
Regarding the mod issue, it is true that some mod settings that affect time-flow will sometimes interfere with in-game schedules. This may cause the game to fail to recognize what class is taking place. It is possible that this time miss-alignment persists in the save even after mods are removed from the game. Because of this it would be helpful to have confirmation when the issue occurs in a save that never had any mods.
@nimarellisto's tip for resetting time may help with saves that had altered time-flow.
