Running away: Difference between revisions

A [[Teen]] can run away from the 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 [[MemoryMemories|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.

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 [[Services|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 [[Birthday|Grow up]], and will not runaway again.
