Well. As a notorious rotational player with over 20 household in my main saved game I am experimenting with a fresh testing game. I have 2 played household in it at the moment both living on University grounds. One is attending Foxbury and lives in a dorm and the other, the Best Friends household (pre-mades that came with the new expansion) is in the other University and in their own dorm as well.
I started playing the Best Friends through a half a week and I did have them do a lot of work on their courses, finish term papers and do all their homework on time. They only needed to finish exams (for those courses that stipulated it) and one of them had a presentation to do. Then I left them and created a new Sim because I really wanted to try the Physics extinquished program in Foxbury because ROBOTS!! and my Lex Luthor got accepted and I am working on him now.
Reading this thread made me abit annoyed because I thought that those households that I enroll at start of term and leave alone will finish off their schooling (might only have to pop in once in a while to re-enroll them into the next term which is what I am testing.
Today, I went back into Best Friends and immediatly I get a pop up to re-enroll them, which I did, chose their courses, made sure they stayed put in their dorms and payed their intuition or got them a loan when needed (really have no accepted scholarships). I saw that they both got A+ for the finished term.
Now I am back to Lex and am going to play him throughout leaving the Best Friends alone for this term and see what will happen. I am hoping they will get a pass and at least an average grade and not a fail and a chuckout :/
I also noticed, may not be insignificant, but when I was in 'choose world' I noticed that by Britechester it only says that I have 1 played household even though I have both Best Friends household and Lex Luthor's household (2 seperate played households). In my other games whenever I have more than 1 played household in a world it says exactly how many households I have played in each world. For instance Willow Creek is 9 played, Oasis has 5, etc. Maybe a bug?
