Sims 3 University Glitch!

Hello,
So my game has that glitch where your sims goes to graduation in university and the ceremony end part way through, everyone is kicked out and no one get the physical diploma or the extra trait slot. And you can go back in and finish the ceremony. I have checked other pages to try fix it. But once this glitch happens the only things that's worked has been uninstalling all of the sims games and reinstalling, things like getting to the annex early, being right beside the door etc don't help. Uninstalling and reinstalling just sims 3 university doesn't work. I had the game over a year before it started happening to me. But since then I can only put one sim through university and have them graduate as they should before the glitch happens. I know I sound dramatic but its kinda ruining things for me. I don't want to have to uninstall all games every time just to get university to work. I have created my own neighborhood and don't want to loose it, my sims, the stories or everything else I have done.

Please has anyone found a now fix or can suggest something that might help me out with this plight? I like the extra taint slot and the parties etc at university so I tend to send sims to University a lot (Well I did before the glitch and want to again) but seriously only being able to do it once before the game bugs out is so frustrating and kinda zaps some of the enjoyment out of things when you get to graduation and it wont work.

Please note I am not tech savvy either so if you have a fix for me please have clear instructions for me to follow.

  • Thank you for the help guys. When someone does have the time/patience could they write down the steps for recreating the game file and what files I would need to move back etc, just so if I need it, the instructions are handy. I will just use to mod suggested in the meantime when it bugs out again.
  • This information might help you to understand what is in the Sims 3 folder we are all talking about.

    I have already written out all the info you need on making a new sims 3 folder countless times but I can't find it now. I'll make a video about it instead so I can find it in future. That might take me a couple of days. I'm too tired to even think about it now having had very little sleep for the past few days and it is already past 8 pm at my place now.
  • Thank you for your help. I am in no rush for the instructions, I havn't sent my sims to university yet so I have no idea if it has glitched out or not. I appreciate the fact you're willing to help at all so I certainly don't expect you do it until you feel like it/up to it.
  • Just to let you know ... I've started the video but l won't get it finished for a few weeks as I've got to go away for a cojple of weeks and won't have access to my computer while away.
