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:


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.

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)

I saw and responded .. I don't have Lamare's as it's said to not work with inteen .. I use Squinges mod



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

It isn't the college pack, I have used that for years, unless it is clashing with something.
You can also use the simblender to age to YA.

What builds body faster? Having someone give lessons? What about yoga and ? I've never used them.

Yes, it's supposed to happen. There's actually a few separate mods in the pack. (I didn't realize this either.) Make sure you're only installing the ones you want. You use either Teen To Young Adult No College EP8 (if you have AL; I believe there's also a Seasons version) or YA Birthday Cake to age teens to young adult. You don't need both files. Teen To Young Adult No College EP8 will automatically age every teen to YA while YA Birthday Cake is a hacked cake that allows teens to age to YA and YAs to age to adult and graduate. So if you don't want all your teens to automatically become YAs if you don't send them to Uni, just install the cake. That way you can control who you want to be a YA in the main hood.


ETA: the absolute fastest way to build body is to learn the Physiology skill and then use the glitch to instantly learn body skills. Perfect for those sims I want/need to have Body skills but don't actually want them to work out or get fit. If you have a fix for the glitch or think it's too cheaty, though, not sure. Idk if different objects have different rates of skill gain, but in my experience the exercise bike is a decent way to skill up. Yoga I haven't done in a while, but that's probably cuz I feel it takes a while. I save it for sims that seem like they would actually do yoga, instead of sims who just need the points. Tai Chi is faster than yoga, iirc. Oh, the punchin bag and obstacle course career rewards are good too! Having someone train you on either of those is a fast way to earn points. (When I play Pleasantview I let Daniel train Angela on the punching bag for the scholarship and that can be done in a weekend.)

Thanks for that explanation as it didn't say that for the download (or if it did I didn't understand stand it as such).

Since I got the College at home hack I let all my teens age up to YA. Those that wouldn't go to University just do something else. That way they're not missing out on a whole lifestage because they aren't going to Uni.

I prefer to give them a few extra days to keep them all the same age ... don't want them to have the memory of goin to college if they didn't go

I thought that they only got the memory if they graduated.

not if they use the home college .. or at least mine got it upon agin to ya

Does anyone know if there are any problems using Two Jeff's Mod No-indoors Kicky Bag with Bon Voyage?
