Hey all,I was having the same problem with a recent grad. She'd finished a Bio degree from Britechester with an A-, but stupidly I switched to a different household before she actually finished the ceremony. I didn't even know about the picture thing, so I'm a little irked with myself about that!Anyway, I realized that her hat wasn't coming off.I DID manage to get it off via MCCC:Click on your be-hatted sim and follow this path: MC Command Center -> MC Cheats -> Cheat Sim Info -> Mood/Buff Control -> Remove BuffYou'll be looking for the buff: buff_University_Graduation_CapOnce you click that, it should immediately go away. I hope that helps!

@LeahBray1992 I just had the same issue. Couldn’t remove Graduation Cap even with MCCC. I just travelled back to Foxbury Commons and the Hraduation Caps disappeared when they got there. Bought them back home and they have all gone. May be worth a try. Sorry, obviously if they were at Britechester you need to take them back to their commons to remove the Grad Caps.

Same thing here. He appeared outside, and the action bubble for "Attend Graduation" kept appearing but immediately disappearing before he could do it. He wouldn't actually go into the building, and then a bunch of other graduates spawned outside and they talked and took pictures but never threw their hats or anything. Also at Foxbury!

If your sim is in the graduation robes and you cancel the graduation event and send them back home your sim will be unable to remove the graduation cap.What happens when the bug occurs? The sim is stuck in the graduation cap and it appears on every outfit in game but not in CAS which makes it impossible to remove.What do you expect to see?

I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure My sim went to his university (britchester) graduation but instead of going inside to the rabbit hole graduation ceremony he just sat outside for ages talking to other sims so I just sent him home instead, but now he won't take off his graduation cap!!! I tried to changing him into different outfits but the hat is on every outfit, I even tried to edit him in CAS but in CAS its just showing him as normal without the hat so I can't delete the hat since there isn't one (super annoying) and when I exit CAS he's still wearing the hat. I tried debugging him, I tried going back the university but now when I click on the "graduation" building it doesn't give an option to "attend graduation," I tried googling it but only one other person seems to have this problem and so far its still unresolved! This is the third generation of my sim family and this sim is one of my favorite sims but he looks so dumb with the hat on that it makes the game unplayable for me! Please help!!!! ☹️(((((((

Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.61.15.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? ALLSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1) Sim living on campus gets married, moves off campus, starts family but still goes to university full time. 2) Last day of university falls on a Friday, calendar shows graduation at 11:45am following Tuesday (no holidays on this day.) 3) When notification pops up to attend the ceremony, click YES to attend.What happens when the bug occurs? The sim gets transported to Britechester, gets put into auto gown, other sims/townies in gowns shows up, everyone happy then those townie sims vanish into building but yours does not, you can hear the ceremony is going on but there is no way to start the rabbit-hole event, you just stand there (you can interact with townies and objects so you're not frozen, you just can't start the ceremony.) There is no option when you click the building to enter the ceremony (only to put up or take down banners). Soon those random townies show back up minus their hats and everyone disperses while you're still standing there in full ceremony gown and cap and there is no mention of the ceremony, you don't get the photo or degree... nothing, it's like the game takes you to where the vent begins but it doesn't actually DO anything nor registers you as a graduate once the event takes place without you.What do you expect to see? I expect my sim vanishes (goes into rabbit-hole event) to graduate then comes out with photo and diploma. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure As mentioned in description I get transported to the building (above) when I click yes I want to attend my graduation ceremony, and she is put into a cap and gown automatically, other sims (i'm guessing from her class???) show up also in cap and gown BUT my sim just hangs around, she doesn't vanish into the rabbit-hole event like the rest of her class does, clicking on the building gives me no options to attend the ceremony (only hang banner's, take down banners or attend eSports[greyed]) so she doesn't finish graduating. I've waited around and nothing else happens, her classmates reappear and then just go on their way but nothing happens to her. She doesn't get recognition as having graduated. She never gets her diploma, never gets her graduation photos nothing. I've waited it out for a fortnight even and nothing. Since my sim is unable to actually progress through the ceremony she isn't recognized as having graduated so I'm unable to get ahead with the job I was targeting and I have the option to apply for university all over again (via computer) like I didn't just go through the whole process even though my [j] shows this...So frustrating and confusing and I regret buying this because this is the first time I've sent a sim through university only to have the graduation bug. I don't know what to do to fix this.I had no mods during this process, I did try installing a mod cheat when I tried different steps to see if it would force the event to start (arriving at university early for one example) to see if it'll fix it for me but nope that mod/cheat didn't work so removed that. I've also done the wholeeeeeeeeeeeee troubleshooting steps you normally request like uninstall/reinstall, remove folders to repopulate new files, go back to an older save etc etc. Nothing fixes this. I've tried moving back onto campus (she is off campus), I've tried attending by myself, with friends and family and nothing helps.I've read other bug threads and my bug is slightly different because1) she doesn't freeze2) she gets the invite to join the graduation (most graduation bugs are about people not even getting notified, I do get notified.)3) the graduation does take place (you can hear it) inside the building, I'm just standing outside unable to get in there.4) I have no mods installed 5) I haven't changed any of the buildings. 100% confused and unsure what to do now.EDIT: So obviously a glutton for punishment tried one. last. time. Behold my sim singing to herself while everyone else gets to graduate ☹️ ☹️ ☹️OH, also forgot, when I just let the days roll by past the non-graduation day my sim permanently wears her cap.... poor girl, living in hope/denial she'll graduate.

@LeahBray1992 For me, they come out and throw their hats into the air, after that they don't have any hats on anymore.

Did they not throw hats for you ? Which Uni did you attend ?

My sim just graduated from University and attended his graduation ceremony. After that I had him move back in with his parent sims. He was still wearing his graduation robes so i made him change, but the cap won't disappear? I disabled mods, restarted my game, and had him change into every outfit he has. When I went into CAS the cap never showed up? Is this a glitch or am I doing something wrong? How do I make him take off the cap?

@kasssally1 I merged your post with another thread on this.

Did yours actually attend the ceremony ?

My sims has the same problem. She didn't attend the ceremony. Her needs were low so she returned home instead and missed the ceremony. Now I can't remove the hat.

@LeahBray1992 I just had the same issue. Couldn’t remove Graduation Cap even with MCCC. I just travelled back to Foxbury Commons and the Hraduation Caps disappeared when they got there. Bought them back home and they have all gone. May be worth a try.

Sorry, obviously if they were at Britechester you need to take them back to their commons to remove the Grad Caps.
