HSY/Parenthood. grounded flaw.

So I discovered today that a teen sim that is grounded cannot go to school from leaveing the house cannot attend an active day of school. I have not tested for inactive yet but either way it's bizzar.

I feel like no compatent parent would ground their child from school. And it does more harm then good by falling behind in school. 

Is this an oversite a bug or done by design? because its annoying. Does anyone know of a mod or work around that fixes this issue. If not could someone make one?

  • Seems like the simplest, and most obvious, workaround is to stop grounding your Teens. Aren't there other punishments you could use? I almost never use punishments in TS4, even though I do have Parenthood, because it seems more like punishing myself than the Sims.

    The alternative would be letting the grounded Teens go to school without joining them. I don't know if that will work but it shouldn't take very long to find out.

      That would just take away story telling elements and would be boring.
