Sims 4 children and teen stuck at school but are at home can not play them.

I am having this same problem and the "leave school early" solution seems to be the most prevalent suggestion for this issue. However, I cannot have my Sim leave school early because that button does not appear. You can see on the attached picture that my other Sims who are at school or work have two icons showing but Max--my stuck Sim --only has one. Because the game thinks he's at school, he was not prompted to leave for school and "Go to School" is not an option when I click on him.

I have tried restarting, resetting him, and moving him out of the house, but he remains stuck "at school."

Any ideas?

Are you using mods in your game ?

If so, try removing them

Thank you so much.  This is the only correct answer!!!!!

Hi @MajikalMayh3m

Have you tried restarting the game and maybe travel somewhere ? Not sure if you can travel though. If you can't try moving the sim out and back in via household manager.

So even after moving out and back in they're still at school ? That's indeed a bit strange.

Can you try what happens if you use testingcheats and then shift-click on the Sim to age him up ? You don't have to save the game, just to see if that makes a difference.

Maybe the whole thing has something to do with your teen living alone (although that is possible, there might be issues)

when your sim goes to work the little lunch box/suitcase click on that and it should appear 

P.S: if this does not work i have no idea
