High school years has issues

So is this happening to any other player since day 1 when I got this pack and changed my phone case it keeps coming back up in que every time I travel or load the game .

And is prom every 2 weeks ? My sim has graduated twice from HighSchool and goes back every Monday.
  • why do these release new packs when they are so glitchy and destroy our playable base game? Super annoyed right now i cant even play because sims keep dying and it freezes all the time.

  • I can't get to prom in my game. Have gone beforeso not sure what the problem is, but this time, my sin gets the call fro that pre- prom het together, says yes, then nothing happens qnd prom apparentlygets skipped too and then his boyfriend gets mad because he didn'task him to go. Tried another time, asked boyfriend, he said yes, and still there was no way to go to prom .

    I don't know about the returning thing, but my Sim is labeled a Drop Out upon aging up! Prom is every week. I wish I could go in and change out the decor — or at least the color scheme to make them different. In my own head the first one is Homecoming. The ones in between the first week and graduation (if only it would happen in my game) would be Sock Hops, such as my school had every week, and the final one prior to Graduation would be Senior Prom. I know EA does it this way to include a Prom for all of the incoming Teens in a player's game. But, if I title them differently, it doesn't bother me quite so much.

    Do a game repair.

    Same suggestion as above. My Sims got the word to go to the Prom while they were at the pre-Prom party. Don't know what happened in your game. Do you use Mods? If so, try removing them from your game and see what happens. I'm learning, the hard way mostly, to do a game repair after a patch. Best of luck!

    @ignominiusrex If you have Get Famous, check to see if the talent show is overlapping with prom. I've heard you can remove the talent show from the calendar when it pops up but another workaround is to change all lounge lot types.

    @GalacticGal You can edit the auditorium where prom is held. I don't know if you're familiar with the Eco Lifestyle community lot but it works the same. Each event has a different phase of the lot you can edit such as career day, prom, and graduation. You can do this through manage world like any other lot.
