Title: adults going to school Post by: Ellie on 2006 January 16, 18:49:43 I have a funny bug in my game, adults with a car in the household can go to school with it ;)
They have the options to go to work AND go to school. When I send them to school, they act like teenagers, returning at 1 o'clock. They even bring homework, but it's not clickable and disappears after a while. And they had this dialog box and earned a skill point. This seems to be a harmless thing, possibly a hack conflict or something.. I just think it's funny :) Has anyone else had this? Title: Re: adults going to school Post by: BlueSoup on 2006 January 16, 18:54:20 Nope, never had it or heard of it. Do you have Inteenimator?
Title: Re: adults going to school Post by: Ellie on 2006 January 16, 18:56:00 yes, I have the latest version of it.
and tons of other mods.. Title: Re: adults going to school Post by: BlueSoup on 2006 January 16, 19:01:54 The reason I asked is because it is designed to enhance teen life so as to simulate some aspects of adult life, from the posts I've read here about (and the RTFM for that mod itself). I don't have it, but it sort of sounds like this is perhaps a conflict with that mod and another one you have.
Have you tried removing some hacks to test to see if any conflict? Title: Re: adults going to school Post by: simmiecal on 2006 January 16, 19:06:24 It sounds like what happens to teens near the end of their teen years when using Inteen. Read Jase's documentation and it explains all this.
Title: Re: adults going to school Post by: jase on 2006 January 17, 01:28:45 It's a side effect of the Bad Townie bug (see the documentation for symptoms and instructions on how to fix it). The bug causes InTeen to think the adult is a pregnant teenager and if you have the back to school flavor pak installed, it will allow adults affected by this bug to go to school.
Title: Re: adults going to school Post by: Ancient Sim on 2006 January 17, 01:30:13 I have this option too and I have Inteen. Before it was updated, I had adults actually go to school (they were more or less forced onto the bus), but now they just have the option and I've never clicked it. I'd actually like to see something made of this, so the adults could go to evening classes and maybe study for a degree if they didn't make it to Uni. I know a lot of people would like to see this option in the game.
Title: Re: adults going to school Post by: seven on 2006 January 17, 02:02:18 You're on to something Ancient. That would be an interesting option -Night School. It's been awhile but I know it's been talked about. I don't know if anyone has looked into it seriously, though.
Title: Re: adults going to school Post by: Ancient Sim on 2006 January 17, 12:18:10 I think it would be a great addition to the game. OK, I know we can add the want slots easy enough, but I'd much rather do it properly in-game if I could. After a while the game becomes very tedious if everything is too easy, I prefer to work for things if it's possible. I'd really like this option in the game.
Title: Re: adults going to school Post by: cwieberdink on 2006 January 17, 13:10:37 Ancient that is a great idea! My hubby has been going to school for many years to finish his Masters degree. He works during the day, goes to school at night. Sometimes it is just one night a week for several hours, but there have been two or three times a week classes that lasted an hour each.
