children's homework is not automatically picked up by the game by default. at least my child doesnt. I have no mod effecting homework or school or children either. so they may have changed it, but it is annoying having to tell my child to do her homework everyday, and then to put it in her inventory.. also kind of annoying when the sims leave their tablets everywhere >.<

I'll occasionally have a child who drops their homework, but the game's code is supposed to make them pick it up and put it in their inventory in normal circumstances - it was only teens that they missed setting that up for. If children are dropping their homework a lot, then it's probably some other problem with the game or a bad mod that needs updating which is causing them to reset and drop what they are carrying.

This mod has been checked and no changes are required for the latest (August 8) game patch. Apparantly, EA still does not consider teens dropping their homework constantly to be a bug.

Hi Scumbumbo can you check this mod, my teenagers are leaving their books out since the December 2015 patch.....Thanks

edit: actually it is the younger kids leaving the books out and not my teenagers.... Argh this silly game and its patches (still love it though).

They are all leaving their homework books out. I have to keep buying new ones as I can not find where they are leaving them.

EDIT#2
I took this mod out and homework books are again being put into inventories. I have not tested with teens yet as I am waiting for them to age naturally....LOL my real life teens never put stuff away so why will sim kids be any different...

After the December 2015 patch it appears that both children and teens are now leaving their homework books out. This mod was such an amazing help. If you update it, you'd be my hero!

Agreed -- especially with the Do Homework Together interaction in groups, children tend to leave their homework books all over the place -- I had to send my Sim over to his friends' house to get his workbook after I got tired of continually having the adults in the household buy him new ones. If you could tweak this just a bit that would be awesome. Thanks much!

Looking into it. I've patched the teen homework interaction with the latest changes and I'll test for a bit to see what the result is.

The result is that it behaves just like the child homework now. They get up after finishing the homework and throw the book to the ground and run away from it (mild exaggeration).

The good news is that after rewinding the code back to pre Dec. 4 I was able to get things working, and then by adding the changes one at a time found the offending bit of code. Fixing it could be a whole other matter, but I won't put much time into trying to figure it out. It might have something to do with the cafe venues, and I don't have that expansion much less intend to spend money on it.

New version has been released. Since it fixes both teen and child sims leaving homework lying around, it has been released under a new name: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=571132

The current version 2 here can still be used if your game is not patched with the December 4, 2015 game patch or later.
