Re: [FIXED] [HSY] Prom not appearing in calendar/Prom works anyways

Product:The Sims 4


Platform: PC


Which language are you playing the game in? English


How often does the bug occur? 100% of time.  I've have 2 different zip files with saves in them, however site is not letting me upload them.  One file has a clean save by itself with repaired game & mod/CC free.  New households with Teens were created especially to test.  This one prom shows on calendar; however my Sims do not have prom interactions to be able to ask someone to prom or make promposal sign.

The second one has several save copies with various teens in households.  I had mods in originally & aging turned on.  I removed the mods, did clean reinstall/repair of game, added saves with no mods in, and turned aging off.  None of these saves have prom on calendar, and have no prom interactions.  I've followed teens to school & ensured principal was still alive.


What is your current game version number? 1.111.102.1030


What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All expansions, game packs, & stuff packs.  All but 1 Kit.


Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Open any of the save files I have, and look at calendar and interact with Teens.


What happens when the bug occurs? Prom is not showing on calendar in saves of second zip; first zip prom is showing on calendar, however my teens cannot do any prom interactions like ask to prom or create promposal sign.  Teens have full friendship bar; and high romance bar and still have no options to ask anyone to prom.


What do you expect to see? For Prom to be on all teen Calendars & for my teen sims to be able to ask others to prom or create Promposal sign.


Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? For the first file with only 1 save no.  Also completely removed Electronic Arts folder and repaired game.

For the second file with multiple saves, I had mods in.  However after researching this, I removed them completely, cleaned caches, repaired game, turned aging off & Prom does not show on calendar for any of the Teens.


Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Unsure as I've only started actually playing Teen & HSY pack recently.

When I first started playing HSY with teens about 3 months ago, max, l I had no problems at all with prom. Then recently I noticed prom was not on the calendar for my main Teen active household. After looking at the other forums about prom missing, I turned aging off, however it is still not working.

Then on completely fresh save in 1st file by itself, with an entirely new household with Teens in them (2 separate families), Prom is on the calendar, however, no prom interactions are available for the teens in either family to ask a fellow student to prom, or make promposal sign.  I've been researching & testing these saves and different scenarios for the last 48 hours, and no one else seems to be having these specific problems.

I've taken out my mods, repaired the game, tried other saves and it is still not appearing.  I have no idea what to try next.

    Does the issue occur in any household with only one teen?

    There is a current issue with multiple teens enrolled in HS and it would be good to know if this is related or not.

    @Firestaar1 Since there's multiple different nuances for prom not working: Does it take place in the end even if you can't do invites and it's not appearing in the calendar ?

    These is the issues that have already been reported

    For prom not being on calendar, yes.  I tested multiple saves with different scenarios trying to find a pattern and good work around.  In one save, my teen sim was "independent" teen living on her own, still in high school.  No prom on calendar.

    For another save, I used the sim mentioned above and moved another sim in with her (they were related in a different save), and made that sim her mother in case it was something about the teen being independent that the game didn't like.  Still no prom option, and only one teen.

    Just in case it was simply that Teen that was affected, I loaded up another save (I always make multiple saves) that had a different teen in a household, with family members.  No prom on calendar.

    2 additional separate saves I loaded up had multiple teens in the household, all going to school.  1 save has 3 teens; the other has 2.  Again, no prom on calendar, not even hidden by other events.

    None of these saves have prom interaction options.

    Now, I want to add the first save from completely new households created to test, on repaired, mod/CC free game, aging off; last night after made initial post and moved Electronic Arts folder out again, both the teens in my testing households had prom interactions. 

    This is with and without current MCCC in as only mod, since I know there are many players who use this mod.

    For the second file I have compiled with several saves, it does not even with aging turned on or off.

    For the other file with only 1 save from fresh folder, repaired game, no mods, brand new households & the one I have going currently with MCCC in, I don't know yet as it is still 2 days away in my game.

    I've reviewed the threads you posted (thank you), and none of them actually addressed a hundred percent what i have going on.

    It's actually SO weird.  Because I have all the saves mentioned above now in my saves folders.  The complete fresh save I've been playing still has prom showing on calendar and now my sims have prom interactions *knocks on wood*

    The other saves with the various scenarios- in the same folder as the other save- prom is still not showing up on calendar, and my sims have no prom interactions.

    @Firestaar1

    Would you be willing to share your save with me ?

    If so, please zip your saves folder and upload it somewhere like dropbox, googledrive or OneDrive and PM me the link.

    @Firestaar1 Tested one of your saves. Did you join the Sim for school or just send him alone ? I was unable to attend class with the Sim.

    That second thread I linked seems to have turned into a collection report and is not what it originally was so maybe it would be best to just merge this and adjust the title.

    Don't know what's going on.

    Hey Crin, sorry for delay in response there's been a LOT going on.

    In the file with only one save, I was able to join him in going to class.

    The file with the other saves same thing, just prom still will not show on their calendars or prom options for any of those saves.

    @Firestaar1 Check the lot make sure the active lot is correct or your have problems, the multipurpose room is just a copy of the community projects lot.

    @Firestaar1 So you didn't have the issue where just 'career' was showing on the white board instead of being able to join ?

    Can't remember which save that was but I think it was the one you sent alone.

    Will discuss with CM if they want to merge with the other thread.

    Surprisingly no, I was fully prepared to not be able to join him on Friday as in some of those other saves I sent you, when I tried to send him to school on exam day I also only received career as an option, which I've also reported here.
