It is automatic without the cake.

Teens in my game automatically transition into YA's unless I grow them up myself to adults.

huh ... not sure I like that ... I thought it was agin to ya only if the cake was used .. I don't want all teens to go to collage and if I forget to age before 6pm .. it just makes it messy to fix :/

EDIT: So I went back to the mod page to read and see if I missed somethin .. this is what it says:

How To Play:

Basically, what you do to age teens to Young Adults is to go into Buy Mode and buy the cake. Place it on any counter or table. Direct your teen to the cake and select Age To Young Adult. The teen will then age into a Young Adult and get a new UI panel showing the Freshman first semester. The Sim's clock does not start. You need to use the Semester Tester to Start Class. Then the Young Adult's clock will run down from 72 hours to 0 hours as if he/she is on the dorm lot. Play your Young Adult through college and when you're ready to age your Sim after graduating from college, buy the cake again and use the Age To Adult option.

When you do return to your Young Adult's home lot, you will find that you have to Start Class again on the Semester Tester to continue counting down your Young Adult's college clock.

nothin 'bout it bein autonomous .. hmmm

You could pause the semester for them and then play TS3-aging style, where being a young adult is a life stage on its own, instead of being reserved and used exclusively by enrolled college students. Once they get older (say, 15 Sim days), you can age them up to adult and move on. If you age them up, I believe they don't receive any college memories (graduated/dropped out) so unless they received the memory about having left for college, you can pretend they are what they are - simply adults that are young - with no mention of college at all.

There don't seem to be as many staff members actively moderating the forums as there used to be. I'm not sure which mods have modding privs on which forum now, there's only one mod with a listed forum to moderate. But anyway, mostly we click the report button when we see spam or rude posts, so the mods are alerted. And having too many pictures in a post isn't quite the problem it used to be (when the rule was set, a lot of people were still on dial-up or metered connections, whereas now even a phone will handle a page of images with ease). I remember on my old ISP back in ~2005 having to wait for a few minutes for images to load!

Large images also stretch out the page elements, hence why I spoiler big ones outside of the pics forum.

There is a picture size rule too, but not sure that's enforced now, either. I know Tashiketh has limits on image size built into the upload tool, or at least file size.

This is what I was askin 'bout .. as you can see in the pic there is no cake present .. it was all autonomously .. I didn't wanna post pic here till I did the update in *What's goin on in hood" thread

.. Dustin had a want to go to college, but I hadn't planned on sendin him.. he was only a c student and in the criminal career but seems game had other ideas 1st with the robbery and then him growin to YA without the cake .. I just went with it and switched it current storyline .. but I still think it's odd that he aged to YA autonomously and w/o the cake when there was no mention of that bein a thing (that I saw)

Yeah, that's why I mentioned Lamars mod on Discord. I thought they had one that did that.

That's why I ultimately removed this mod. It was a pain to have to manually age up all the teens who don't go to university with the blender, and it sucks that the teens to adults don't get to have a normal party and grow-up. I used to use the mod more in the past, but in my current hood, no one was doing the college at home AND only about 1/3 of my sims go to uni, so it wasn't worth it anymore.

(If you do remove it, you will get a bunch of testingcheats errors about deleting majors when you load lots in your hood, but it's fine after that)

You can use the cake to force them to age up to adult (or that it says) ... and there is a mod now by whoward that allows for a teen to Y/A party before agin

i think I'm gonna keep it as I do like it .. now that I know it'll happen I'll just need to age any teen to adult at 5pm and not wait and let them age at 6 .. or if it happens will need to force them to age to adult and remove the college memory ... it's a pain, but since I like the rest of it .. I'll accept the bad with the good
