i made this hack after a i upgraded to ofb, which forced me to remove alot of hacks, apparently the sideeffect of one of them was teens didnt goto school, which i liked alot, so i made my own hack that did just that, it should be compatible with all versions upto ofb, i dont have family fun so i cant check the bhav but i doubt its any different, this is the first time ive uploaded a hack/mod so be gentle :P

DUDE! this mod is just what I need, thanks for stopping the boredom that inevitably occurs when all the teens are gone.

Thanx alot!!!this should make things atun bettr

good to see someone liked it, lol, after 3 weeks i thought it was a flop, this is the first actual hack i made from scratch so the only one ive uploaded anywhere, ive wanted to make others but im not quite good enough with simpe yet.

Very nice!

This is great! I have two teens who really have no business attempting to go to college, and school just depresses them. Time to send them to work!

Since it is likely the question will be asked at some point, this mod should work as intended with InTeen, even though the behavior is reported as conflicting.

Oh good, I was worrying about that. :D In that case... this is an excellent mod! Thanks!

Normally, InTeen cuts teens loose from school at 18, where they become "independent" and can do pretty much everything an adult can (move out, get married, take jobs from the adult career track, etc).  The effect of this mod will just inhibit go-to-school for teens so they never attend school (as designed)...everything else that happens at age 18 with the InTeenimater should occur normally.

Windows 98 should have a care however, because packages are not loaded alphabetically as they are in Windows XP.  The only way these 2 mods will play nicely together is if bobcatben's mod loads after the InTeenimater.  On those computers with FAT32 file systems (namely Windows 98 ), the load ordering of packages within a given folder cannot be guaranteed.  The easiest way to ensure proper loading is to place this mod in a subfolder, so it's guaranteed to load after the InTeenimater (which always belongs in your root Downloads).

Duuuuude!  So awesome! :thumbsup:

Thanks for this!!

infact if you have inteen you dont even need this as they allready dont goto school as teens.

There is a small difference.  With InTeen, they stop going to school at 18, whereas with this mod they stop going to school altogether.

isnt 19 days when they turn adult tho... i did have inteen along time ago but i took it out cause it was so bulky and changed a ton of stuff, and i remember them not going to school ever as a teen with it, thus where i got the idea for this.

The Person Age field in Person Data is not an absolute age.  All teens are "16"...all adults are "19".  The game only uses this field to distinguish one life stage from another.  It doesn't actually hold the sims age.  In fact, it doesn't even reflect the number of "game days" leading up to that life stage (there are 11 days leading up to the teen transition - not 16).  Age Days Remaining / Age Duration / Days in Prev Age, are better measures for absolute age.

The Sims use a measure of 1 sim day = 1 year, so the teen years span from age 12 to 25.  Adulthood stretches from 26 to 54, and elder years from 55 to 69+ (depending on aspiration score).  So 18 falls at a time when the age bar for a teen shows 7 days remaining - or half full.

If your teens never went to school, it was probably a bug :^)  But now you've made it a feature *lol*

It stops asking on Screen "sim... Needs to think about College.." message too?

no, it just makes them not need to goto school, to the game they are still in school, but there are no school days.

question: If i have a lot with a sim that I changed from adult to teen using the insimenator and then used your mod will the teen go to school still or will it change?

This has to be the world's smallest mod - 0.4kb? LOL. That alone made me think there was something wrong, but if it's been in circulation for a year and 1400+ downloads with no report of problems, I'll give it a try.

Not knocking your mod. I'm just picky about them - knowing they change functions in the base game makes me nervous (probably because I don't understand how it is accomplished, and my ignorance always makes me nervous).

thanks now i dont have to juggle school and work you have been a big help for me and my game :D

hehe, its small cause it only overwrites a single bhav function, specifically the one that tells the game if a certain sim goes to school that day or not.

its got more then 12'000 downloads on modthesims2.

Great upload.

I really like this one too. Thank you.

Thank you! It is a very good idea!

Great idea but quick question, does this affect the abilty to become an over-achiever ?

Umm how do you know if a sim is 18?
I'm so very confused.

I dont think you can tell, they're just a teenager til their time is up (in sim days)...

Thank you..

InTeen stops school and makes most of the adult things available to teens when they have 7 days left as a teen. That is about half-way through the teen cycle. They still are shown as school students, but they don't go to school and can have adult jobs, etc. I've not tried to see if the "take XXXX to school" option for driving is available or will work once this has happened, however the school bus no longer comes for them, and they can still go to college before they become full adults after 15 days as a teen.

Umm . . . yeah.  Not really what I want to see, thanks (why is there no report button . . )

Er, there is, and who are you reporting?

Anyway, on to my question... can you CHOOSE whether or not your sims go to school?  Because I might want some of them to.  And also want to repeat the previously asked question about whether this affects the ability to be an overachiever.
Sounds great though!

thank you

 3yay 1rock 1rock i love you i hate school
