Getting Expelled

Teen sims who are sent to detention more than once now have a chance of being expelled from school. Each subsequent detention will raise the chance of being expelled by 5%.

Sims with bad grades (D or F) or who are Rebellious, Hot-Headed, Mean Spirited, Evil, Inappropriate, or Insane have a higher chance of being expelled.

Expulsions last for 7 days, after which teen sims will be automatically enrolled in school again.

The length of an expulsion can be shortened by having a teen sim “Attend Alternative Classes” at the school rabbit hole between 8:00am and 4:00pm.

Each class lasts 2 hours and subtracts 1 day from the sim’s expulsion.

Teen sims will be scolded and grounded for getting expelled.

Appealing Expulsion

Another method to end an expulsion early is by having a sim aged Young Adult or older in the active household go to the school rabbit hole to “Appeal Expulsion” under the new "Administration Office…" pie menu option.

There are four ways to appeal an expulsion: Appeal, Intimidate, Influence, and Bribe.

Appeal - Available to all sims, except for those with the Coward, Rebellious, or Dislikes Children traits. Other traits will either increase or decrease the chance of success.

• Increased Chance - Ambitious, Brave, Charismatic, Family Oriented, Friendly, Genius, Good, Lucky, Nurturing, Perfectionist, and Schmoozer
  
• Decreased Chance - Absent Minded, Grumpy, Hot-Headed, Inappropriate, Insane, Loner, Loser, Mean Spirited, Neurotic, Shy, Socially Awkward, Unlucky, and Unstable

Intimidate - Available only to those with the Evil or Hot-Headed traits, Vampires, Werewolves, Fairies, Witches, Mummies, Genies, Ghosts, Aliens, and those in the Criminal career. The higher the career level, the better the chance of success.

Influence - Only available to celebrity sims. The higher the celebrity level, the better the chance of success.

Bribe - Available to all sims as long as the household has more than §5,000 in family funds.

Expulsions can only be appealed once.

However, the “Bribe” option will always be available.

If the expulsion appeal is successful, the teen can then start attending school again with the baseline C grade.

If the expulsion appeal fails, the teen sim will have to either wait out the expulsion or “Attend Alternative Classes” to speed up the expulsion timeout.

Contraband Checks

Teen sims will also now have contraband checks at the end of each school day. There is a 60% chance of getting caught by school staff with contraband in their inventory, and certain traits will either increase or decrease this chance.

• Increased Chance - Absent Minded, Clumsy, Loser, and Unlucky
• Decreased Chance - Rebellious, Evil, Kleptomaniac, and Lucky

If you have olomaya's Smoking + (Mild Teenage Delinquency) mod installed and a teen sim has cigarettes, a vape, or fake ID in their inventory while at school, they will have their smoking related objects confiscated and be given detention.

If you have PJSim's Let's Get Drunk Mod installed and a teen sim has alcohol in their inventory while at school, their alcohol will be confiscated and they will be given detention.

If you have MonocoDoll’s Vile Ventures mod installed and a teen sim has drugs or drug paraphernalia in their inventory while at school, the police will be called to arrest them and they will be expelled from school immediately.

Once arrested by the police, the teen will be taken to the police station and stay in a holding cell for 12 hours.

Teen sims will be scolded and grounded for getting caught with contraband.

Dropping Out

Teens can also drop out of high school at any time under the "Administration Office…" pie menu option at the school rabbit hole.

Dropping out will lead to teen sims getting punished, but the level of punishment depends on the traits of the adults in the household.

Teens can be punished strictly, moderately, or lightly.

Strictly - Ambitious, Bookworm, Disciplined, Genius, Perfectionist, Proper, Snob, and Workaholic

Moderately - Dramatic, No Sense of Humor, and Over Emotional

Lightly - Good, Nurturing, and Family Oriented

If a teen sim decides to enroll in school at a later time, they can do so under the same "Administration Office…" pie menu option.

Enrolling in school will also help teens improve their standing with adults in their household.
