WOW! I was all ecstatic for my Sim to finally graduate. The big day had come! The game couldn’t give a single plum about it though. No splashy animation a la finishing a life achievement. No cap tossing. No automatic party. Why isn’t there a quad event/celebration? Even though I was right outside the building, dumbo Sim kept self-cancelling the Attend Ceremony action that I dang near missed the thing. It was a huuuuge letdown!

I agree the graduation is very disappointing. I prefer the way sims 2 handles it best. You have 72 hours to finish up, gain more skills and friends and have an actual graduation party.

Yeah, its a little meh. And my sim just went back to her dorm after, wasn't she suppose to move out? Did this happened to you too?

@Corvinow yea she went back to her dorm. I think it’s supposed to be that way - you get a little time to pack it up and then ship out. It’s super anti-climactic though.

They will toss their hats, right after they got out of the gymnasium... It’s fast and easy to miss tho

@Phantasi33 oh yea, a karaoke spot would be fun! I threw a party at her parent’s beach house which was pretty fun. I’ll definitely try a public lot next time as the keg is kind of....not very fun. Had it out at the party and nobody but my Sim was using it. They need to add a “Call to Drink” option on the keg like they have on the Kava Bowl from IL.

I was afraid to kick her out by myself and lose her diploma, but I guess I'll just find her a place to live. Thank you!

@RexZheng I definitely missed that! I’ll have to keep an eye out for it next time. Also I’m going to prepare a list of ways I can make graduating more exciting so I’m not so disappointed next time!

Maybe throw an after graduation party at a bar or karaoke spot

Yeah, there wasn't much to the graduation. I wish they would have at least added the option to throw an actual graduation party.

Hm, shouldn't there at least be a "throw graduation party" in the event planner? It would still be fun if it took place a few days later after leaving campus, as the graduate could actually arrange that party in any world and would still have the other students in their contacts.
