  • I made a post detailing a few bugs in High School Years and for some reason it was closed, not sure why as there was no negativity in the post whatsoever. I did have a few questions on the suggested "work arounds" though, so .. since the original post was closed I'll just toss those into this new one. So for the bug where…
  • If you occassionally send your sim to school without following him then your grades would go up. If you follow your teen sims every day then they never will, at least in my experience. I tried it on a new game with no mods and even on a fresh install and that seems to be the case. I might be mistaken though, if you found a…
  • I've had bad experiences with MCCC, it seems to cause more issues then it fixes unless you micro manage every little feature of the mod.. To be honest I can live through the social bunny and the grades not going up, it's the leaving class during test taking that aggravates me the most. If I could find a fix for that one, I…
  • THANKS, I have yet to last a week while playing high school years before one of the other bugs I mentioned causes me to give up on playing before a fix. I'll try to suffer through the other bugs long enough to see if Social Bunny actually updates after a week. A very productive response, tyvm.
  • Yeah I'm not trying to report a bug, all these bugs were reported days after release. I was looking for information on either actual work arounds or mods that might allow me to play the game without pulling out my hair.
  • Since release the pack has been unplayable. Every friday for test days, the teen sim will sit at the desk to take the exam, then immediately get up and leave the class room. This happens on every test day, with every teen household sim taking a test. When you have more then one sim taking the tests it gets even worse. This…
  • I quit playing after high school years came out because of the bugs, I was just wondering if enough of the bugs had been resolved to confidently say it's safe to return? The bug that broke the camels back was my sims getting up and leaving class in the middle of EVERY exam.. it's like it was coded in for them to stand up…
  • I play rotationally and have 5 families, I got them all aged up to have 1 or 2 teens in each family, so when the expansion came out I could send them all to high school. So while the pack is broken.. my game is kind of unplayable. I know it's unplayable by choice.. but I feel my reasons are sound... I don't want to mess up…
  • ps. I KNEW that I should have waited a couple of years before buying ANY new Sims expansion... every time I break down and buy a game early I have to remind myself of my rule. **golden rule of gameing** Google the game a week after release.. if there are a lot of bugs being reported..... WAIT TO BUY IT.... *sigh* another…
  • Ty for the suggestion, but turning off automony to fix a bug feels like breaking a feature I like *automony* just to make the game function... I don't consider that an acceptable solution. I'd rather shelve the game again and wait for a proper fix... looks like years instead of months again... but that's a typical turn…
  • ty for the reply, shelving the game again *sigh*
  • I understand this thread is focused more on the non-high school lives bugs, but do you know if the bug where your sims would leave class during exams has been fixed? It was so bad in my game I actually had dificulty completing tests at all.. they would try standing up like 4 or 5 times during each exam... Quit the game due…
  • I've actually had good luck recently with the forums so I figured I'd give this little bug a try as well. Has anyone found a fix or developed a mod to address the issue of Sims constantly interupting their queue to attend class with odd things like using the computers, or exercise equipment, or just getting up and doing an…
  • Might as well get this one out there as well, how about the achievement where you are supposed to "sneak out of the house" .. I have the window and the ivy trellis both on the lot, confirmed to work.. yet I've gone through three teens now and have never been invited to a party for which I could "sneak out" for... any…
  • I think it even makes the lot look better... the sun rays were really washing everything out
  • Okay for anyone else having this issue "I think" I found a solution. MTSDisableDebugSunray also showed up as Remove Eco Lifestyle Sunray due to green footprint. It seems the problem wasn't with the Sage Estates but rather with the Eco Lifestyle DLC, the sunray seems to get stuck on somehow.. this mod just permanantly…
  • Landgraabs ... Gotta live the high life
  • I want to make a correction, I called the fear a "perma" fear and I think I was not correct. I still think it's bugged, and the fear stuck on the toon for a LONG time, but it did eventually go away. I think what finally made it go away for good was completing a few other fears after the issue, then the "fear of the dark"…
  • My sim got "Fear of the dark" which I promptly conquered. A few RL hours later it magically plopped back onto my character, this time the fear had undergone extensive training and had returned new and improved. It was so effective that it even terrified my poor sim outside in the middle of summer day during a heat wave.…
  • The amount of bugs in the patch are the most I've ever seen with the sims. Saying that, out of the blue, after this patch my game performance shot up. I have one lot in particular that is very crowded and spinning the camera used to cause the framerate to drop, that's not happening now ... which I'm very pleased with.…
  • I was scared to log all the way in but the aging bug warning message is no longer showing for me when I launch. Has it been patched, because I didn't notice Origin loading in another patch? *Edit* and I never ran into the new "fame bug" ... should I wait longer or is it safe..... Two game breaking bugs in the latest…
  • AHHHH so they did give an ETA, I'm glad to hear that, tyvm for sharing that.
  • I was a little surprised I hadn't seen an update since they took down the warning, I mean it seems irresponsible to leave a bug which has already ruined people's games for any amount of time. So just in case I missed a background update I decided to log in to see what happened. Sure enough ... all my elders died instantly,…
  • awww a peanuts fan <3, Love Snoopy *edit oops, can't give a <3 to snoopy without also giving one to <3 Scooby <3
  • Technically if you are fine with normal lifespans then the biggest of the bugs isn't going to be a problem.. You can also switch to normal lifespan and it fixes the aging bug. For those of us who are on rotational games though ... switching to normal doesn't work on rotational, it just goes by to fast if you are playing…
  • When you hear "they ran out of time" ... it kind of clears up why there are so many bugs... obviously this was rushed out the door huh? *edit* Half finished features + tons of bugs ='s rushed..... I think so anyway
  • All they have said thus far is "we are aware of it, no ETA".. so .. no ETA, sounds like it's not much of a priority for them. So this might take awhile. *edit* and with them removing the warning before fixing the bug... I suspect quite a few people are going to lose their games ... scary stuff
  • All I gotta say ... is thank god I didn't buy this one... definitely waiting for it to go down in price. I mean by the time it does it'll be right about the time it gets fixed ... so kind of a perfect solution.
  • Wow.... the aging bug, the fame bug, and now this needs bug... what did they NOT break? *edit* Next they'll bug out woohoo and all our sims will be eternally depressed LOL
