[HSY] Can't do extra credit while having fear of failing grades

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.107.112.1030 DX11
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a teenage Sim with D or F school grades and the Fear of Failing Grades
What happens when the bug occurs? The fear can only be conquered by doing extra credit work, but the only option on the homework book after completing normal homework is to do make up homework
What do you expect to see? The task to conquer the fear should be available, whether the fear is changed to require make up work, or the available option on the homework book when having a low grade is changed to extra credit.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

I encountered this while doing the Troublemaker scenario, where the teen sim starts with F grades.

    @richvh Yeah, doesn't sound like a bug. Bit restrictive maybe but I don't think there's a bug here.

    I'm moving this to game issues but please make a new report if you have troubles getting rid of the fear after asking for the extra credit work.

    The fear clears as soon as you start the extra credit. You don't need to even start homework before asking for extra credit, but do need the fear, which usually triggers well after the end of afternoon class, when ordinarily the teen would have already gone home or to extracurricular activities. If the timing of the fear triggering could be tweaked to consistently trigger during afternoon class I think it would be much better.

    A couple more issues I've noticed that you might want to split off:

    1) You don't lose grade progress when you join, even if you skip both classes and all tasks. Sending alone can cause you to lose grade progress if you choose to Make Friends or Slack Off during the school day.

    2) Grade progress gain is slower when you Join than when you Send Alone, and seems to only increase from completing tasks at school. Doing homework (regular, extra credit or make up homework) does not seem to affect progress at all. My teen took 4 days to get promoted from F to D Joining every day. In my opinion there should be an effect on progress at the beginning of the school day depending on how much homework was completed.

    @richvh Just make a new thread per game bug. You can also use the feedback forum. The second one sounds more like feedback to me.
