phone option for teen is now similar to adult, and so they have the Call Mom option instead of Grandma (pre-teen)...

so yeah, Call Mom when Mommy is just next to the teen physically... :lol:
So funny and true to life! :lol: My teenage niece does this to her mom, but she uses her cell phone to do it. :lol:

So far this week, I have baked croissants, read the big book of stuff, planted strawberries, planted pumpkin, done an all-day session of ice hockey... and I'm sure there are others that I've forgotten. It also wanted me to have a Teen waste a day on the couch, but I had to skip that so they could practice their music!

Is it just bad luck, or is anyone else noticing long goals being more frequent?
I had similar goals yesterday, croissants, big book of stuff... considering i have only 1 day left, i have no choice but to skip the goals... :|

Gardening goals complete right after entering the house. So we cannot do it before the goal shows up. This way it counts, when we get a sim eating plant :)

Before the last key goals started, I had to plant garlic between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Then plant pumpkins, wait the whole day for play Cowboy between 5 and 7 p.m. (I got 1 LP/each) followed by a few short goals, strawberries (1 LP), eggplant, diving for a special medal (needed uncountable trials, but I got another LP) 3 sims have a deep sleep (counted at the beginning, 1 LP), wait for daily mail for 8 hours. I got my key *phew*

My current goal is Tai Chi in park at 7 a.m., the text clearly shows "morning". But it did not complete at 7.20 a.m. :( I'm pretty sure it will complete at 7 p.m. like before the teen-update.

I think you cannot skip those goals, so you won't get the Highschool :(

Possibly this helps:
Your sim will only lose 1 level of his profession. If you change a scientist, you get this level back with playing chess ->10 minutes instead of 3 hours with a telescope for the same progress. If you have to level up the politican, use the soap box ->15 minutes instead of 3 hours with a mirror. If there is a higher level politican already, the "reach lvl 2" completes at once.

Watch a movie at midnight...

I work early everyday so it's almost impossible for me to be up at that time and even if I am I'm not thinking about playing The Sims :D

So I had to skip it... *sighs* it's the only goal I have ever skipped or finished with LPs. For the others I've waited for days... even weeks. For example, one day the goal was "Add a Sim" and I had to wait like 2 weeks to pass two levels cause I didn't have any unlocked sims xD.
I'm on Facebook! Just ask ;)

I have this goal now...The 'movie at midnight' goal is very annoying
Never, never am I awake at midnight...not if I want to get up at 6am the next day!

You could change your time zone so you can do the goal on time and don't have to skip it.

I just had that goal and was going to do the time zone thing, but I had so many other issues going on with the sound problem and teen idol and whatnot, that I just skipped it this time. Didn't want to take a chance on messing everything up more than it already was. Next time, I am definitely doing the time zone swap, to see if it works. I can't be up at midnight, since I get up at 5 every day in RL!
I think, therefore, I Sim! (Or I did before they told me to "harvest" them)
