Before I begin I want to just say again I'm not trying to report a bug, so please don't move/delete my post. I have noticed that posts that bring up bugs die an early death in this forum so I just want to explain that the only reason I'm describing the bug is to ask the community for help with it, not to report it.With that being said.The bug where your sims just will not complete the exams instead getting up for water, or to throw the football, or do do push ups... has anyone modded a fix for it yet? I have two sims going to school at the same time so it's a real chore requeing to take the test over and over again... so annoying.I figure it's a better bet looking for a mod then waiting for them to fix it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

My sims kept getting up too. So I tried clicking on them and other things to see if I could find anything. When I clicked on the chalkboard it said take exam so I clicked it and she did stay and finish the exam. Before that she got up repeatedly.

I don't recall having that bug. Perhaps, I was just lucky, else it came later than when I played HSY.

I don't think any of the bugs were solved after High School Years was released. The December "update" only fixed the Mean sims bug, but it sounds like they were unsuccessful, and even that wasn't fixed. There were no other bug fixes since then. My sims still stand up and leave during exams. Hopefully we get a substantial update this month.

2022 wasn't the strongest year for bug fixes, so no I wouldn't say "it's safe" considering your current gameplay. Sadly I don't think the game will ever return to a state that's "safe" to play, no matter how many or how little packs you own. The bugs continue to grow with every patch and pack release, while very little gets fixed in return. I don't see this changing.

You could just send the high schoolers to school on their own (rabbithole) on Fridays and you'd never have to deal with exams, you'd still have the pier and prom and all that, and you could play your game again?

Sim will not complete their test (NOT A BUG REPORT)

That's what I wanted to suggest as well. In Addition, you could Just click in the whiteboard and choose Take Exam again when the interactions cancels out.

I have never had that bug. It's weird how some people get some bugs and other people get other bugs. Have you tried repairing the game? Maybe you'll become someone who doesn't have that bug. Or don't go to HS with your teens, just send them on their own? You can turn off the option for it to ask you to go with them.

I've not gone beyond Cottage Living. Everything I've read about packs and updates since has been nothing but a horror show.

I play rotationally and have 5 families, I got them all aged up to have 1 or 2 teens in each family, so when the expansion came out I could send them all to high school. So while the pack is broken.. my game is kind of unplayable. I know it's unplayable by choice.. but I feel my reasons are sound... I don't want to mess up the rotational gameplay.

You can always just send your teens off to school by themselves and just keep up with their homework can’t you, like you could do before HSY can’t you? That way you still have the town of copperdale to play in, and the furniture, clothes and things to use in the pack. I read that one person sent the kids to school by themselves Monday and Tuesday and they would come home with a oroject. Then they would follow them to school Wednesday through Friday. I wonder if you kept up with homework snd stuff if you could just send you teens to school by themselves on Friday.

I’m not one to talk though, I have taken a break from the sims for most of December 2022.
