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??

    @TrinityNoel25   Hi!  I thought I might mention that I had some success getting my created teens to spawn by going to Manage Households and deleting some of the premade teens.  If you don't want to delete them, you could try using the cas.fulleditmode cheat to age them up.  Depending on how many unplayed teens are available, the game may still generate NPC teens to fill the classrooms.

    That being said, I personally use a couple of mods that I think work well in tandem to get some of my created teens to spawn.  We're not allowed to link to mods here so you'll need to do some googling. :-) 

    - High School Years Tweaks mod by Simvasion.  It basically tweaks the tuning to favor your teens' high-level friends to spawn at the school.

    - More Students at High School mod by ksuihuh.  This mod has three versions that allow for 18, 24 and 40 students.  I like the 18 students version because it fits the in-game classroom size perfectly; 9 desks per classroom, 9 students per class.

    I did some googling myself and there is another mod that looks interesting called High School More Class Mates by Aramiteus which is on the nexusmods website.  This one appears to be a bit more complex with multiple features that includes choosing who your sims' classmates will be.  Another one that is available on CurseForge is called Choose Your High School Classmates by konanhurry.  Maybe you could do some more searching and find others that would suit your needs.

    EDIT: After reading a bit more about the Classmates mod by konanhurry, I noticed they shared some insight about some game requirements for the teens that spawn.  I'm adding their note in a spoiler here.

    Spoiler
    ATTENTION! High School school days require several Core NPCs, so you also have to assign the role to them.The school requires: A Mean Sim; A Chess Club Member; A Cheer Club Member; A Football Club Member and a Computer Club Member. If the Sim you plan to assign to these roles hasn't joined the club before, although they'll become a member of the club, they won't show up as core Sims. So you need to load into their family for them to show up as core Sims.

    If you do decide to try mods, I always suggest testing them before committing to make sure they don't break your game or make changes that you don't like.  Please use the "save as" feature in game options to create a safe place to test mods and to keep your current game in tact, just in case.  If there are no issues, you can just continue using the test save but if there are problems, then at least you can go back to your original save.  Hope this helps!
