[DU] Bad university grades regardless of performance

I'm not sure when this started happening, but I sent a sim to college pre enchanted nature update and now post, and both times at the end of the term, they will be failing at least one class and be put on probation regardless of school performance. I was playing with mods pre-update, and now without, either way I have the issue. I sign my sims up for four classes at a time to get university out of the way asap. With the first sim, When I was put on probation, I thought it was a fluke even though I had done all the because I missed homework once or twice, but still submitted and presented the projects and studied for the exams, then she eventually graduated.

The sim I'm playing with currently missed no homework, did all the work, and studied for the exams all while usually under the effect of a charged simanite crystal. She was put on probation last term for failing one class with a D. This term, I signed up for four again, made sure all of the work and studying was completed, especially with my little crystals, and she failed two classes with F's meaning I have to wait until I can retake those to classes so hopefully she can graduate.

With both sims, they were going to university from home. Once or twice I had an issue where playing a sim in the household who was off lot would result in the sim that was already at class, skipping it. The post-class notifications don't seem to be taking account for the work the sims does at home because it's almost always "[sim] did enough work to squeeze a decent grade out of the class, but she noticed other students learning more proactively." Nothing I do to prepare (or not) for class changes this notification. The only time I got A's on the report card were for when a sim had to take makeups and their workload was only one or two classes. In those situations, the notification was still 'decent grade" and I never got the "passed with flying colors" or "studying confidently" moodlets at exam time. 

Seasons, also seems to be messing up the term dates. If I'm not careful about when I enroll, the sim may only have to go to two of four classes because a holiday could fall right before a weekend and then it says I don't have class for 5 days, but the sim goes anyway?

  • I keep getting the message that mine did the bare minimum even though I make sure they do all their homework, get their papers done by the first day (I submit mid term), and do my presentation by mid point as well.

    This is a super frustrating bug. Makes university completely un-playable. I can't believe this isn't upvoted more. My sim is doing all his homework, submitting outstanding term papers, has skill levels of 8+ related to his classes, and is still getting Fs and getting suspended.

    Imagine if you have just bought his pack for a holiday sale and had no idea.
