In Testing:Teens To Young Adult Without Going To College

[aelflaed]

Fresh lot, CAS sims, see if the seasons advance normally. Okay, I can do that.

Looks good. New lot from the bin, new CAS sims. Aged teen up to YA at the end of summer, advanced to autumn normally.

I'll play some more in case it acts up further on, but so far, so good. Anything else?

(edit) Played a while longer, autumn advanced day by day as it should.

Okay, so it is something with the AL version that's interfering with the season days and seasons.

Keep testing for another full season and see if it will change seasons if you can. If not, that's okay.

Thanks for the feedback.

Season changed from autumn to winter, no troubles. You're welcome! I'm glad to have the update, a little testing is small exchange.

[Chaavik]

Okay, the AL version is working as intended with the season and day changes. I am assuming no one else has any issue with this newly updated mod for FT.

Thanks for all the help!

Make sure to offer chicken and grease to our benevolent creator, Mr Squinge, for updating this mod to FreeTime. Oh and beer will be great as an offering to him!

[Squinge]

mmm Beer

[aelflaed]

chicken, grease and beer offered aplenty. Thankyou Squinge!

[Squinge]

Your welcome

Forgive me if my question is redundant, but I have no idea how to make them go to their final exam. I clicked on the cake and it said final in 2 hours, but 4 hours went by and nothing.

[Chaavik]

Try clicking on your Young Adult, selecting College... and then choosing Go To Final. That should get the lazy Young Adult going to their finals like they ought to!

[Squinge]

Thanks Chaavik I was looking in the AL thread trying to find the answer, lol

[aelflaed]

However, I think they still might not go to the exam unless the semester timer has been spawned.

[Squinge]

I was thinking that too but I don't use this mod much too busy doing requests, lol

[Chaavik]

The two differences between FT and AL versions are the YABirthdayCake and TeenToYANoCollege mods that have to be adapted for Apartment Life because of the new apartment lots.

The Semester Tester is spawned off the Sim by shift+clicking the Sim, choosing Spawn... and then selecting Semester Tester. This one allows the college clock to run down to 0 and automatically send Sims to their classes. As for the Finals, they will go to their Finals, but if they get another message about going to their Finals, ignore it or cancel the current action in their queue, and they will return from their Finals successfully if they have good grades.

The only way to make this work is to type boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true and then spawn the Semester Tester. Then type boolProp testingCheatsEnabled false in the window after hitting Shift+Ctrl+C.

The College Adjuster from TJ works fine with this. I don't know about AH's College Isn't Free Series since they appear to work only for Apartment Life. Best to ask him about whether they will work with FT or not.

Sorry for the annoying questions but will the nomemoryundeucated.zip work as a stand alone? I'm not so worried/bothered about having YA stage sims who go to work/live normally but I really want to be able to pick and choose which of my sims get to go to college and which don't and would prefer to send only a small percentage, but I resent the fact that if I don't send them, they cry and moan and get a bad memory about it in my world not everyone wants to go to college, pretty much only knowledge sims would get a bad memory IMHO. I've been considering uninstalling the University EP because of this, but if your no memory file works alone this would be brilliant as the sims I choose not to educate can quit moaning and get on with it.

Also your initial post says it doesn't work with Apartment life but the last post in this thread implies that it does and that it is freetime that is the problem, I'm a bit confused?

EDIT - sorry I've just seen your compatability list which actually answers both my questions, didn't see it before.
