Just wondering exactly how to get around this?
My teen is a "rebel" and keeps getting grounded, which is fine because that's just who she is. But the problem is that when she is grounded during the weekdays, she can't go to school because her parents won't let her. Is there any way to let her go to school without apologizing to the parents?

You'll have to apologize I guess... I don't think there's another way around it without cheating.
Wait, what??? Grounded sim teens aren't allowed to GO TO SCHOOL?? But I know from experience that IF a Child/ Teen is late for/ skips school they get scolded by the adult sims so...
But seems stupid that the grounded thing blocks going to school, no grounded human is ever prevented from going to school, the only thing they are ever 'allowed' to do as far as leaving the house on their own...
Of all the things, THIS takes the cake for being outrageous/ unheard of!
I'll bet if you do keep your teen sim from going to school she'll just be in even more trouble... You can't win with your Rebellious teen.
Yep, they get in trouble either way. :?
It's coded so that leaving the lot is the trigger, but someone didn't think to add an exception for going to school. There had to be some way they could have coded this - maybe based on school hours?
If you use testingcheats, you can Shift+click on the moodlet and eliminate grounding for that time completely.
The Moodlit manager too, I should think... No? If the 'grounded' this is a moodli (never had a grounded sim this far...).
The moodlet manager could work, but doesn't always - keeping in mind that it sometimes backfires, leaving your Sim worse than before.
Yeah but that seems to be only when the beam hits an object, bounced off... Also sometimes it seems to do nothing but moving said sim's spot and trying again usually undoes the damage. I have my sims using it 24/7...
One of my teens had to sneak around for a whole week to school, and she'd just get more grounded for going, and there weren't enough chores to get that kind of forgiveness so, yeah. Try it, I hope it helps as it helped me

Well... needless to say as soon as I woke the teen up she got scolded and grounded. I still managed to get her to school and when she got home she was scolded again. She then threw a fit with her parents and wanted to sneak out after curfew, so at night when the parents were sleeping I sent her out. She was arrested immediately, so another yelling at.
Next morning snuck out to school, immediately harrassed when she got home by her father so she yelled at him. He tried to console her and she had a tantrumous fit in front of him and was in deep red with 6 negative moodlets. Again she wanted to sneak out after curfew, so I sent her down the road at night when the parents were in bed and then sent her home again after a little while. Parents psychically knew she had gone out and she got yelled at and a negative moodlet for sneaking out.
So now, police and parents are both psychic in knowing where your kids are and you get in an infinite loophole every time you go to school you'll get grounded and grounded and grounded. Stupid.
EDIT: can't spell! Ding-dang it!

It is a bit silly it goes that far. But I do like that parents notice and react to their children's behaviour.
Of course the entire grounded for skipping school so you can't go to school and you get into more trouble either way was probably not intended. But there is also some realism to it even if provided for accidentally -- at some point, some teens are going to feel like they will get into more and more trouble with the parental units no matter what they do (it's just not fair, no one understands me, and angst-driven tantrums like that...) My relationship with my own parents as a teen in real life was great, but even I felt like that sometimes.

Really? That's an option, how did I not know that? Thank you for the tip!
