@EA_Cade But this is breaking Long gameplay. My Teen sims can only go to school for 4 weeks. The rest of the calendar is completely empty, and they're no longer going to school. Why are teens called teens when you make them adults by default?

@NyxValkoinen wait what?? what's this about going to school for only 4 weeks? D:
- CommodoreLezmo3 years agoRising Vanguard@siirysiir This is my other issue with High School Years on a long lifespan ☹️
- siirysiir3 years agoSeasoned Ace@CommodoreLezmo this is huge and why haven't we seen any documentation on this? Like what does this even mean for people who play rotationally?
- CommodoreLezmo3 years agoRising Vanguard@siirysiir Your right It is huge but haven't seen or heard much on the topic. My family's have very long lifespans as I switch between long lifespan and aging off completely. If I keep High School Years in my game after 4 weeks of school my teenagers will then have a long time without school before aging up. For story purposes I might have had a teen start University early (great feature to implement with university one positive) but that wouldn't be every household. I switched to the household of the twins older brother as someone commented the HS events wouldn't show on households without teens, so then I'd be able to edit holidays on the weekend again. I'm not sure if it's because their related but all the HS events still remained on the calendar. My final straw was sitting an exam on a Friday and a bug caused all Sims but my Twins to stand by their desks and not take the exam. Kind of broke the immersion haha. I've disabled the pack through Origin now and will hope the Sims team will either rework the settings for long and limitless lifespans and undo the calendar restrictions. As this is a feature not a bug however I'm not holding my breath. Modders may also find a way to fix this but that doesn't help the console players of the community. Without the pack enabled my calendar works fine and so am happy but equally sad to lose the build/buy, CAS items and to have essentially spent money on an expansion pack that isn't flexible and breaks how I play my game. I don't play many other games but think I need a break from The Sims 4. I know it's 'just a game' but am genuinely disheartened, pathetic I know but I was so so excited for this pack. More than I'd be for a long time.
- NyxValkoinen3 years agoNew Adventurer@siirysiir School is only 4 weeks total. Meaning that on Long span, teens do not continue going to school after those 4 weeks. At least, not for me, and I tried multiple times with multiple different teens. So for the rest of the Long lifespan, they just exist. No school, but can't get a full time job, can't go to college already as a teen, etc. It feels like if you managed to get a mod to stop teens from going to school entirely, like something for a Rags to Riches for them or something. But this isn't a mod, it's apparently an "as intended feature" of the new pack... Even when it makes literally zero sense.
