Re: [OPEN] [S] Kids/Teens get option to go to school on holiday

Did you try a factory reset yet ?

If not, try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

  • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
  • Tray Folder
  • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
  • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
  • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
  • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    But like I said,  I don't know what caused the issue, so I most likely won't be able to recreate it in a new save. So I don't see the point in a factory reset.

    You can test with your current save after the reset. Just put your save back but nothing else and see how it goes.

    They might not go the that day so make sure to play through at least a few days to see if it triggers them to go the next or the day after that.

    I’m having the same problem but on ps4. I see a lot of pc advice but nothing I could do for me. Any idea on where I should look or what I should  do. Regardless of how many times I press go to school nothing happens. Work days also turn into holidays automatically. I only have the regular sims delux, city living  and seasons

    Well then I just found the solution to my problem. Turns out it was because there was a holiday but for some reason the sims team decided to put the 'go to school' button there even though its a holiday and you can't go to school. Maybe they should fix that so someone else wont have to spend ages trying to figure out why they cant send their kids to school. Cause just before theyre about to go to school it says 'Holiday' instead of 'School starts in -' but then when school should start the 'go to school' button appears but clicking it doesnt do anything.

    There's a known bug where work days turn into holidays but it's best if you created a new thread for that for console @Randolf_Miller

    @LantisBo So the next day it was fine or do you also have the issue that all work days turn into holidays ?

    I realised that that may be the problem so I made a new save and added a holiday where you get a day off work/school and the same thing happend so that must be why. The next day should work fine.

    HI @LantisBo 

    yeah, that doesn't sound right and like a bug that should be fixed.

    Could you edit your error report (first post) to add that bit of info you just found ?

    I'll add it to the list on the next round. Already forwarded.
