Ian has now met Jack Gill and quickly made friends with him. I have little doubt that Jack will share his infamous views on education with Ian. At one time Jack worked quite hard at school and got his grades up to an A+. At that point however, he decided that school had nothing more to offer him, and stopped going. Instead he started going to all-day nightclubs, and persuaded his live-in boyfriend Ravi Bertino to do the same. If asked, Jack will tell you that, "Ravi and I are students at the University of Life." I'm sure he'll soon be telling Ian that he's got all he's going to get out of school, and Ian would do better to stop going to school completely, and to go to fun venues instead, including of course PaintBoyz, the all-day nightclub just for gay teenage boys. I suspect Ian will be tempted, but I think he'll decide to keep going to school at least occasionally, both to please his dad, and so I can try out the scenarios I mentioned above; I'll see if I can get him to get into the carpool before it leaves, even when he's brought homework back from school. The vacation days and the bicycle should still be enough to make sure he keeps his job!


I had an automatic 'oh, no' reaction when I heard that he'd met Jack Gill lol.

Recently began to play Pleasantview from MeetMe2TheRiver's cleaned neighborhoods.
The hood starts out with 133 character files.
After exiting I found it now has 154 character files !
I didn't make any new sims.

Just to clarify, I have all of the cheats enabled that prevent unnecessary spawning.
Does anyone here know the reason for the population jump ?
thanks for any advice.

Any child or teen with that school symbol in their queue as they get off the bus and walk to place the homework down is not considered to be home yet. If someone doesn't have a social worker mod and parents get home a bit later and the child is walking to his her desk you can move the desk to keep them walking, so avoid starting the 'child is alone timer'. I am guessing Andrew's teen took too long walking to where he places down his homework so the car pool left as you said because 'he wasn't home'.

Ex out his queue Andrew and he should drop his homework and go straight to work.
Today the carpool definitely arrived before Ian got home from school: the car arrived first and the school bus stopped behind it.

I asked Ian to do as Jo suggested: he left his homework lying on the grass, and walked forward and got into the car, so he must have arrived in plenty of time for work. I noticed that he got into the back seat of the big saloon car, rather than "riding shotgun" with the driver. When Ian got home from work, I rewarded him by giving him a desk. Nearly all my Sim kids (both children and teens) do their homework squatting cross-legged on the floor. When I say I "gave" him a desk, I have to admit that it was his dad who paid for it!

@Charity : Well, Ian did go back to school, despite meeting Jack Gill. You may be glad to hear that, when he was talking to Jack on the 'phone later that day, I noticed that Ian disagreed with several things that Jack said. He and Jack are friends, but it seems this boy has a mind of his own: he doesn't just slavishly do everything that Jack says.
