A teen (any age)[[Teen]] can and will run away from the main household, when the particular teen has negative [[Relationships|relationships]] with the other members of the household, and has few or no other friends. When a teen is preparing to leave a message will pop up in the upper-right hand corner letting the player know. Then, the teen either walks or runs off of the lot. The [[Memory]] associated with a teen running away is usually red but may also be green depending on the Sim and their relationship with the teen. While running away, a runaway icon will appear on their picture. Being gone does not affect things like school grades.
After a little while, the teen will realize that he/she doesn't like anyone on the lot and has no friends. There will be a message on the upper-right hand corner basically saying that he/she's going to leave. Then, the teen either walks or runs out of the lot. Her parent(s) will then have a memory icon of their teenager running away. It is (usually) red.
If a player wants the teen to return as soon as possible, the parents of the teen must report the runaway via telephone to the police. Doing this will increase chances of the runaway being returned by the police. If the teen is reported ''after'' twenty-four hours, the chances of being returned by the police decrease to about fifty-percent. If the teen is returned by the police, he/she will not runaway again for more than twenty-four hours. If nothing is done about the run away, the teen will return home one day before they [[Grow up]], and will not runaway again.
Then, a runaway icon will appear where the school icon for the teen would usually be. Although the teen is gone, this does not affect his/her grades.
If nothing is done about the run away, the teen will return home one day before she grows up, and she will not runaway again.
If he/she is wanted to return as soon as possible, the parents must report the runaway via telephone. You will then have a very large chance of her being returned home by police. If the teen is reported '''after''' twenty-four hours, you will only have a fifty-percent chance of him/her being returned home from police.
If the teen is returned by the police, he/she will not runaway again for more than twenty-four hours.
To avoid having your teen run away, make sure he or she has high enough relationships with all members on the current lot.
