Delinquent Teens (Patreon BETA)

***Please note that this is a BETA version. If you have any problems, please, please let me know!***
Now your teens can be a little more... rebellious. This started out as me simply trying to make the runaway scenario and became, as almost all my mods do, more...
Now your teens can runaway (as a rabbithole or scenario), rebel in ways big and small, legal and illegal, and potentially get caught along with possible consequences from simple grounding to being sent to juvenile detention centers. What will your rebellious teen's fate be?
What It Is
This is a mod that adds a new scenario related to mischievous teens, the ability to run away in a rabbithole and play the family, as well as a school infraction and juvenile justice system. It adds consequences if your teen sims are caught misbehaving whether that's pranking in school or tagging in the street. Will they receive an in-school suspension or just a warning, be ordered to complete community service hours, or sent to a juvenile hall?
How It Works
Teenage Miscreants Scenario
Note that the mold breaker must be female and the carbon copy must be male. This was the only way I could force them into their roles but I'll keep tweaking!
Teen Runaway Rabbithole
This was made for those who didn't want to play a teen as a a runaway in a teen only family. If you want to keep playing your family but just want your teen to runaway, now they can. Your teen can choose to run away while still being part of the family, in a rabbithole. Their family will definitely react to the runaway both when it happens and upon their return. Each day while your sim is on the run, they will encounter a situation for you to react to.
They will run away for 5 days before returning. Upon their return, they can potentially be welcomed back by the family or yelled at. After they come back from running away, they can runaway, again, if they like.
Their parents can also report them as a runaway and they may be found by the authorities and brought back earlier. If the authorities bring the sim back, they might cite the teen with a status offense. If that happens, the teen and parents will have to attend court-mandated counseling together to try to repair the relationship and work on the underlying issues for why the teen ran away.
Caught Rebelling
Your teen Sims can now get consequences for being caught stealing/swiping objects that don't belong to them, pickpocketing other Sims, setting fire to objects, picking fights with sims, tagging/graffiti public areas, hacking online, cheating on tests/stealing test answers, pranking other sims, peeing or woohooing in public, and possessing illegal substances or being under the influence of illegal substances. Note that this mod considers all drinks from bars, kegs, ping pong tables, and all beverages consumed at bar venues without BMD Juice Lot trait to be illegal.
Doing any of these things can land them in hot water!
Some integration with other mods, including my own, will also occur: getting caught driving without a license(SimNation Travel), taking illegal substances across international borders (SinNation Travel and Basemental Drugs), getting caught criminal mischief at a bonfire (Dynamic Teen Life), cutting class (EO, Preteen, Private School), and possession of prescription drugs not prescribed to teen (HCR, Dental Care, SimImage, and Basemental Drugs). Additionally, integration for Lumpinou's upcoming Law and Disorder will be included as it develops.
Delinquency and Consequences
At School
Teen Sims who are caught at school or at home will have options open to them. School may be lenient and only require a warning or extra homework, or an in-school suspension or detention. In some cases, they may expel the student. In cases where the infraction is more serious, schools may be required to report the incident to law enforcement.
At Home
At home, parents have new socials in which to discuss their children's behavior, kick them out, argue with them, express compassion, or listen to their problems. Parents can also discipline their children for misbehaving and rule breaking if Parenthood is installed. There's a slim chance that parents/guardians might turn their teens in depending on the offense, the parent's reaction to the behavior, and their relationship.
Law Enforcement
If, however, law enforcement catches the teen they can issue a warning or for more serious offenses, take a Sim into custody to be processed/booked or issue a summons for a hearing. For some Sims, after being taken into custody they will be released to their parents/guardians but depending on the crime and previous misbehavior they may be required to remain in police custody until their hearing.
Hearing and Disposition
Hearings take place at 9am on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays. A hearing will be need to take place to determine sim's fate. The teen can either go with a public defender or hire a lawyer. Hiring a lawyer can help sway the outcome versus a public defender.
Sentencing/Disposition
After the hearing, the disposition/ruling will be determined. Teens can either be found not delinquent (not guilty), delinquent (guilty), or have the ruling delayed while they complete terms of the court. If the teen is found delinquent, they can be sentenced to community service, fines, parole, delay or revocation of driver's license, a juvenile correctional center, and/or court-ordered programs. A teen will then have a juvenile record. Repeat infractions will influence the outcome of their consequences.
Having a record can affect if a Sim gets scholarships or university offers, driver's license possession, school enrollment, and more. Depending on if it's a first offense or a lesser crime, some Sims may have their case dismissed or only get warnings on a criminal record or have their final ruling delayed while completing court-ordered community service with the chance of dismissal.
Court Ordered Conditions
If your Sim is found guilty and issued anything other than a warning, they will have to complete court-ordered conditions to satisfy their debt to society. Each court-ordered condition has a time limit and must be completed within that time frame. Not completing within the time frame can result in penalties including probation, community service, or juvenile hall, but usually just a fine.
Possible Conditions include: Fine, Restitution, Community Service, Driver's Safety Course, Anger/Behavioral Management Class, Alcohol Education Class, Counseling, Confiscation of Driver's License, or Probation which can include a Curfew, a School Grade condition, Drug Testing, and Substance Abuse Treatment. The option to complete the court ordered conditions is available on the phone under the general pie menu.
Aging Up
Once a teen ages up to a young adult, depending on the seriousness of the crime, a teen can petition to have their record sealed. For minor offenses, juvenile records are automatically expunged and not follow them into adulthood. If the record is sealed, it will still be available to law enforcement should the Sim be caught in another crime, but it will not keep the newly young adult from getting jobs, going to university, etc. This will be integrated with Lumpinou's Law and Disorder mod as it develops.
Note: Sims in juvenile hall do not age for the length of their time on the inside.
Compatibility
This mod is Base Game compatible.
Packs Highly Recommended: Parenthood, City Living, Get Together, and High School Years.
If your sim does not have the packs or mods that include some possible infractions, they simply will not be able to be caught doing those things.

Hi. I have a teen that was arrested and I paid for a lawyer, however the court day never happens; it's been multiple sim days. The parents and teen get the hearing moodlet but a court day never pops up.

Teens can't drive cars they don't own unless borrowing it.

Hey! I'm having the same issue as Hollbeck ^ I re-downloaded Deliquent Teens and SimNation Travel and the "drive to" is grayed out. I can click "travel to" but everything is grayed out as except for "travel to bar", once clicked it's grayed too.
adeepindigo
under the court ordered programs
Paige Engelhardt
Love this mod. Can't figure out how to make my teen do the community service. Where on the Sim or the smart phone do I find it?
I just redownloaded everything and it's still greyed out and won't let her drive anywhere...
adeepindigo
You need to update your version of SimNation travel...
How can they drive without a license? The "drive to" option is greyed out because they don't have a license

oh nevermind it popped up. yay

my teen has gotten in trouble twice now for pickpocketing, it gives me a court date, made me pick the expensive lawyer since the zero was already assigned, but the option to go to court doesn't pop up. My sim is in the fancy expensive school that starts early, could that be conflicting?
Khaoula Offishal
hello will there be a french translation please ?, thank you
adeepindigo
Swiping isn’t the only kind of stealing. They can autonomously pickpocket too. And your sims aren’t arrested every time they do a crime. It’s like a 1 in 5 chance but probability is variable so they could just be unlucky.
Is there anyway to reduce the chance of my sims being arrested? I have twin teens and both have been arrested for stealing multiple times even though they never swipe anything?
adeepindigo
No your sim has a set number of community service hours that has to be complete. They won't come back unless they finish all of them. That usually isn't something you want to happen in one sitting so they'll stay doing the community service until you cancel it or they finish ALL hours assigned, whichever comes first. When you send to complete more hours it'll subtract from whatever's left.
mrscoker08
Hello, my sims has community service and every time i send her to do it she doesn't come back unless I cancel it out, and she never finishes it. Is this a known problem?
adeepindigo
There was nothing to unlock. I had to manually add the files to this post and today was a late day for me; they should be there now!

You need the pie menus. Install them and the mood pack. They are both listed as requirements of the mod.
Kira
hi, im having a little problem. when i add the mod in for some reason it makes my sims interaction pie menu not show up. do you think it's conflicting with another mod?
I downloaded everything needed for the scenario, yet it is still not popping up, but the mods are (run away from home) etc, just not the scenario. Pls help
adeepindigo
Yes, just you. And yeah they haven't been removed from the household so the game still knows they exist. Just get a nanny.
Everytime my teen runs away i can only report them missing when they get back, is this just me? Also it counts the teen as still home when gone so when the mum goes to work they baby will not go to day care (1 adult sim, 1 teen sim, and 1 baby)
Granny
Wow! This adds so much! Thank you!
can caregivers discipline like parents do? in my game, the grandparents are taking care of the teens and i'm wondering if they can punish them too
adeepindigo
It’s listed in the mod description 🙃
