High School Graduation

Recently have gotten back into playing Sims 3. I have played multiple saves and multiple families. And every family with teens, I've had issues with graduating from high school. I've played with and without mods. Regardless of what I try I cant get graduation to pop up. I know it happens after the teen ages up and usually happens on the weekend. I've tried googling for help but have had no success. Is it a lost cause or is there something that will fix it. Everything else that happens at city hall seems to work fine. I just don't wanna keep having my teens not graduate. Can anyone help. Thanks in advance. Let me know if you need more info. Sorry if this problem is posted already.

    PCB82​  Please make absolutely sure Generations is in fact loading when you play.  Packs deselecting themselves is unfortunately a common occurrence.  One easy way to tell whether Generations is present is to look for a baby stroller in Buy mode.

    As for the game not working right, it happens, and I don't know why in this case, but you're really not missing much, just a day off from work and a moodlet for the new YA and the parents.

    I have everything for Sims 3 minus a few store items. I just played the Hart household. Bebe starts as a teen close to aging up. I got her an A and on the honor role. She aged up early in the week and I kept playing. 4 days into young adult she had still not got a graduation prompt or anything. I know it's a trivial issue, just bugs me when the game doesn't work righ.

    PCB82​  Do you have Generations installed?  Graduation comes with that EP.  It's also automatic, usually a day after the sims age up.  They'll get a prompt to go, to change into their robes and the like, and the whole household will get the day off from work/school.

    Without Generations, sims don't graduate, they just move onto being adults and are able to get jobs and do whatever else they want; there's no need for a diploma.
