Note: the teen will remain part of the household.

You can setup a generic lot or send the teen to a community lot with the Runaway Teen non-goaled event.

For Teen Sims, self click on them and select the Actions menu. Click to Enable Troubled Teen. This will give the teen a needed trait.

With the Troubled Teen trait your teen Sim will have a new social menu with the same title. These are all mean social interactions and will further ruin any relationship you have. Making the teen even more motivated to runaway.

These are interactions you can use with a parent, guardian, and other teens at school. So your teen can be troubled in any situation.

Computer Interactions

The troubled teen will have access to a variety of resources before they runaway. These are optional for storytelling.

How To Run Away From Home
Self click the Teen and select "Decide To Runaway" from the action menu. This will give the teen the Runaway Teen trait.

This trait unlocks a new social menu "Street Survival". When the teen is roaming around they can use these interactions.

Optional:
Runaway Teen social event. This is a non-goaled event that'll last for 24 hours. Otherwise just roam around as you like.

While the teen is roaming around, you can close the event and switch over to the parent Sim for the missing person's gameplay.

Parents And Guardians
When you have a teen runaway from home you can switch to the parent and have them use the computer to file a missing person's report. This will give them the Missing Teen Trait and unlock social interaction to help search for them.

To get the missing teen trait, use the computer, missing persons menu, and "Report Missing Person To Police".

You can go to other Sims and ask if they've seen the teen.

Teen Coming Home
When the Teen is ready you can return home. Optional, use the disable Troubled Teen to remove all traits and set the teen back to normal. Return home.

The parent can post the teen as found on the computer missing persons menu.

Out of all your mods this is the only one I had to take out. For some reason the game would load I click on a family I want to play it would just kick be back to the world map. It wouldn't let me play a household. I did the folder method I have them organized. When I took this mod out my game worked. Outside of that ALL YOUR OTHER MODS WORK FOR MY GAME. STAY AWESOME.

This mod is working fine for me. Sounds like you have an old script file in the folder. If you have the older version of this mod remove it or check for script files. This mod doesn't have a script file to make that happen.

Technically I believe you can remove them from that family and get their own household.

It's so in depth! Thank you for making it :). Can this only be used for sims who are specifically 'teens', or can I tag a 'young adult' / 'adult' with the runaway teen trait? It's just that there's a a lot of gameplay this could afford a sim leaving an abusive familial or domestic situation, or a cult, etc.

just teens, the next update of the mod I try to remember to allow other ages.
