I have these 2 sims in an apartment.Ones a single mother and the other is a teenage daughter.The mother and daughter is best friends so I had the teenage daughter ask the mothers premission if she could go out and the mother said yes she then acted like she was walking out of the building then goes and sits on the couch.I tried again and same thing.

Isn't the teen suppose to leave the building and go on downtown?That didn't happen.

if a sim asks permission to go out.
you should click on the phone and choose "go out" or something and pick a friend to go out with her and pick her up. same thing for sneaking out.
