    Student Sims will no longer be labeled as Graduate after completing the Graduation Ceremony. Congratulations!

    Fixed in Patch 1.63.133

    Please be aware that this fix most probably doesn't affect already bugged NPCs

I have the same bug in a different way. My sim married a sim who had completed their 12 credits but had not graduated yet and is perpetually stuck as "Graduated" but can't graduate. If there was a way to force graduation or even remove their progress so far (I don't mind re-taking it) that would help. I've saved more times than backups at this point and can't roll back, and I'm using mods.

UPDATE: after a bunch of looking around, I was able to follow Carls Sims 4 Guide's DU page under "University Cheats (Requires Mod)" and used the All Cheats Mod's University.Graduate cheat and the Graduation Tomorrow notification popped up immediately. At the end of graduation, the sim returned home and the game crashed. I followed @crinrict's instructions here using MCCC (the most up-to-date version!) to delete then re-add their marriage and that seems to have fixed it so far! No more crashes, and my sim has his degree and level 8 career at this point. Bit of a journey but hopefully that helps someone!

    I have this problem with my Sim's fiancée, I even tried the cheats mod like was suggested and even after going to graduation, she didn't get a diploma so far and is stuck as a graduate on the school menu. She was a NPC (Delilah Kendrick) that my Sim dated in college and I moved her in after they both graduated, or "graduated" in Delilah's case. ☹️

    Well, the next day she got her diploma, then I tried to get her a job as a musician and then it wouldn't show up in the job menu, so I saved and quit to see if it would show up then.... but then I got an error code. 102:ee24dd4:4e6f578f D: So there goes that save file, I suppose...

      @NumeroLetter Could you send me your save. It was fine for me when I tried this.

      Which cheat did you try ? The graduation one ?

      Do you have a backup ? The game makes automatic ones too but they get overwritten each 5 times you save.

      I had the same thing happen when using the all cheats mod and the graduation cheat. I graduated the sim but when I went to manage worlds to switch households, I got a loading screen and then I just took me back to the world map and gave me that error.

        @bettybee17 Did you just use the cheat or also did the second part with removing/readding relationship ?

    @xpeachsweettea Thank you. This was my exact problem word for word and your solution fixed it. Seems that this one is fairly common judging by all the responses.

      I had this bug with my played Sim that never was a NPC when the map for traveling opened exact the time I got the final grades on the last day (6:10 PM or something like that). Afterward I never got the message for the graduation ceremony to be soon or even the invite to attend it what result that I also not got the diploma. Adding the degree via both possible cheat didn't change that I couldn't join for a new degree in the University or that I can join the Jobs at the higher level.

      With a new character I found out that the Graduation invite all sims to meet at 10 AM at the entrance of the sportbuilding of the University and start the graduation ceremony at 11 AM the day after your last class day.

      ( I no longer have the save with the char that got the bug also I initial reported the issue in this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion-and-Feedback/My-Degree-is-Worth-Diddly-HELP/td-p/8446336/page/2 )

        Please keep in mind that most NPC sims in University are enrolled in University, but do not go to class, this allows the game to put whatever they want in there.  The only person that actually goes to class is your played sims, the NPC are just window dressing, if you move them in before graduating the npc sim will not get the diploma, because they did not complete all the course requirements for that degree.  In order to get a NPC sim that graduated your need to wait until after the graduation ceremony is over and for off campus living wait until the college class tab disappears, this indicates you are no longer enrolled in University, find sim and ask sim to move in or get married, University NPC should come with a random degree. For University Dorms wait until the University Kicks  you out of the Dorms before you invite said sim to move in or get married.  If you do this before game will display a error as you entered dorm with 1 sim and left dorm with 2 sims, since all sims that live in dorms must go through the special enrollment menu.

      @katelinwdavis The graduate one ? You'll need a twistedMexis allcheats mod. But it seems to cause issues later on.
