Teenager Scouting/careers issue

My sim's kids have all been scouts both as children and as teens. This time was different though. When my sim's son aged to teen he went on to high school as expected, but what was also expected was the scouting would remain. It didn't. I got a message that stated that he quit the scouting career. Naturally, I had him rejoin the scouting career, but he quit school as a result.

I have MCCC installed and I used the command option to have him resume school, like I do when they're not in a household and I move them to one, but the same thing happened: he quit scouting.

This is discouraging because his younger brother is also in scouting but is still a child. He only needs a few more badges to to get to the top.

This also happens if they start any other teen career.

Is this a bug or glitch?

What happened to going to high school and having a teen job?

Also, isn't scouting considered an after school activity and not a job? Why is it under jobs when they become teens?

Please help.

  • Think it might be s bug in your game. I’ve just had 2 children age up into teens. One is a scout, the other goes to drama class. Both aged up with no issues and are resuming where they left off.
  • So in MCCC theres an option to make it possible for teenagers to quit school. When I had this enabled, taking up either scouting or a part time job would cause my teen to leave school. It was either or. In MCCC i disabled the ability for teens to quit school and that fixed the issue.

    Is this a new issue with MCCC, or an older one?
  • @luthienrising It's not really an issues I think more like by design. If teenager quitting school is enabled they're can only going too hightschool or an part-time job but not both. And I'm using the option only when I'm playing a Challenge like Runaway Teen, Big Sibling.

    Okay. How do I disable the quit school option?
    I want my teens and children to stay in school. Quitting school is bad that is, unless their parents can send them of to military or something. That being said, I miss the boarding school option.

    @purplexbutterfly, how do they get into drama class?

    I didn't have a problem with this before the Nov patch. But now I'm having the issue where my Sims go to school as teens or do a "career" . And if I have him rejoin he loses a grade. Cause he was a b student and it starts him back at c
