Created households not showing up on high school?

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Steam-PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.90.358.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except most kits, Werewolves and Weddings and Batuu, Fitness, Luxury, My First Pet, Paranormal
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I guess making multiple teen households go to high school in the same save
What happens when the bug occurs? Only one other original teen not in current household shows up to high school
What do you expect to see? I was expecting to get more than one other custom household teen that doesn't live with me to go to the same school
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. The high school expansion was downloaded

‌

So I made my main household and split it so that the main sim teen I'm playing as also had a cousin going to school with her. The cousin lives in another city and yet attends school just as I wanted. But then I made another household in the same neighborhood full of three teens to populate the school with my own creations, and yet now they just don't show up? Why? Has anyone figured out how to make it work? It recognizes lockers as being owned by the other households.

I tried to join the teens for both households to see if maybe I just needed to get them all through the door for some reason but no.

I also tried getting them to meet out of school and then going back to school the next day, but nothing. Even if there's a cheat or something, what could work??

@VDKH You can only control which Sims from your own household are sent to HS. Any NPCs that show up are random.

Or did you see somewhere that played households are supposed to show up as NPCs all the time ?

I can't get my other played sims to show up at the high school in High School Years.
This is really annoying as it's limiting customisation - I don't want the current students to be the only ones that show up.
Please can someone help? Is there a way to spawn your other played sims within the same save?

I downloaded the new High School Years pack, and I'm really loving it so far (minus the bugs), however I'm kind of confused why the teens from my other households I created are not showing up at the school. I'm also not sure if this is even considered a bug or if it's just how the game is. I was really hoping to be able to make my own teens that would act as NPCs in the high school ☹️ Does anyone know a way around this other than editing the pre-existing sims?

I've tried to find an answer on my problem everywhere, but it doesn't seem to be a problem anybody else have.
I want other teenagers than just the townies to visit the highschool but they just don't show up?
I already tried to place them in a household and not just letting them live in the world but sadly it does not make a difference.
Has anyone had that problem? It is not really fun to play that way ☹️

@heidivicks same, i don't know if they did that on purpose to limit the amount of students allowed or what, but it's really annoying.. patiently waiting for a mod to fix it

@heidivicks Yes, I was wondering will they have more students attend the school? It so tiny and it isn't realistic at all. I hope they change this

@novacanova I merged your post with the thread on this

I don't think it's a bug at this point but it's good feedback for sure.

I talked to another player and she told me das she was able to create Sims and they would automaticly come to the highschool, she just put them in a household.
I mean If you only could play with the normal NPC's from the world where's the point of the expansion pack?
