I didn't like the "3 strikes and you're out" expulsion system in high school. I like that there are consequences but I found it too heavy-handed considering sometimes the strikes happen because the game just bugged out, and there's no coming back from it - even if you delete the expelled trait, your sim just keeps getting expelled everyday. So I made this.
How it works:
If your sim gets 3 strikes, they get suspended for 24 sim hours (if they get suspended on a friday, it will be 72 sim hours). They'll be given the "suspended from high school" trait, kicked off of the high school career (and any afterschool activities they're part of, just like with expulsion) and won't be able to re-enroll.
At the end of their suspension period, the suspended trait will be removed and they will automatically be re-enrolled in high school but will have lost a grade. Their strikes will be reset to 0 and they can resume at school as normal.
If they get another 3 strikes, this time they get expelled for real. No coming back.
...
Ok there is a way to come backbut you'll need the XML Injector installed to do it. Self-click the sim and under the High School pie menu, there is a menu called High School Strike Resets. Inside that, you have the option to reset strikes (only available if the sim has more than one strike) or reset suspension (only available if the sim has come back from a previous suspension). If your sim has previously been expelled before installing this mod, use the reset strikes interaction if you want to remove the expelled trait and/or stop them from getting suspended immediately they come back to school.
