Will my Child or Teens be taken away if they have bad grades in the Sims 4?

I know that they will become Embarrassed after school if they have an F, and I'm also aware that a B or an A grade will start you in the career 2 and 3 levels ahead. Will my kid be taken if I have an F? I want to play a evil, horrible child challenge and want them to skip school.

I know in the Sims 1 they will be sent to military school if they miss 2 days of schooling and taken away by the Social Worker in the Sims 2.

I've heard very mixed claims. Will they be taken away or not in the Sims 4, if their grades are low?

Edit: I've never tried this myself and I'm curious to see. I don't have High School Years installed.

    Totally agree @ignominiusrex .
    Anyhow vampire school ought to be at night! It's inhumane asking the poor precious vamplings to go out to school while the dangerous sun is up.
    Inhumane? In-something...

    That's one advantage of "graduate early" in the high school pack. The teen can't start an adult career quite yet but they can spend their time doing other things.

    I've tested this out. Yes, children DO get taken away if they flunk school!

    That's one thing I would change if I could: this dictatorship feeling the game gives when it comes to school, making it something so life and death how a kid does in school, and in sims3, that cursed curfew automatically inflicted even if I habe a family of vampires and of course the kids can stay out past midnight!

    Making grades cause for removal from family is ludicrous. School =/= education and there should always be a choice.


    My favorite thing about social services is that they delete the child from the game after they take them. So it's like they kill your child if they get bad grades.

    I wish you could choose to reinforce "bad" behaviour with Parenthood. I also wish that the curfew from the bulletin board did not apply if the child or teen is away in one of the vacation worlds, because as it stands you have to remember to switch it off before the family goes away.

    Good to know that it can be switched off if the player doesn't want to delete it.

    I don't want to play household with control freak parents. I get caring where they are and what they do but there have to be exceptions like a teen can work a night job on weekends, or be doing independent study instead of attending school. It's not as much fun playing families if the kids are never around, and when they are, there is little time for anything besides homework.

    I want to play a family of treasure divers on a houseboat traveling the globe, for instance.
