Is There a Graduation Ceremony?

Wow I never knew there was a pre-graduation party. Even in the live stream, they said there wasn’t a new party type added. I’ll have to keep a look out for it next time!

Keg parties are new.

Technically there is a ceremony, WE just aren’t invited to go :( We can meet our sims afterwards for the hat toss (which I missed because I didn’t know where the front door was ?)

My principal forbade us to throw our caps at my high school graduation. The poop. He all but ruined the day I had worked so hard for. Oi!

No graduation ceremony and there is no option to throw a graduation party. They just throw the hats at the door of uni and that's it. :\

Hey, that works for me. I'm more concerned because I know they'll have to leave the Dorm pretty soon, either way and their younger sister is still in the hands of her kidnappers. :open_mouth:

I mean given the low number of sims graduating with yours, a real event would look lifeless.

There were only 6 sims, including mine, throwing hats in the air in my game.

It was quite sad.

Not all students are on the same track as the Sims you control. I may only have the three brothers. I'll have to wait and see.

I know a lot if you don't play supernaterals, but for those that do, be very careful about letting a vampire attend graduation. My dude almost died because the game considered him as outside the whole time. So he would have burned up if I hadn't clicked on the mailbox and cheated his needs.

Yeah, and the game also considers vampires outside when they're giving presentations. I had to act fast repeatedly to prevent Vlad from frying. (And he's thin-skinned, too.) Basically, I'd quick travel to a dorm or different lot immediately after he emerged. That was the most stressful diploma to acquire yet, lol.

I still go there, even if we can't go inside with our sim. It's nice seeing them group up with other graduates before entering, all wearing their graduation attire. Afterwards they still wear their robes, and you can go to a community lot to celebrate if you like. My sims still wore their robe when returning back to their hometown, so you might even throw a party there, but there's no set up / "throw grad party" event offered by the game. But hey, it's not that hard to gather a few friends at home or on town. I never bothered though, playing rotationally it's actually a "phew done" when they graduate, rather wanna go on playing other events.

You may not have the option to throw a Post-Graduation party, but you're invited to throw one the night before the graduation. I took the option and my Sims despite being terrified for their younger sister's well-being, had a blockbuster of a party. :)

Thanks, I had no idea! I'll check the calendar next time someone graduates. Feels like it will happen in a few RL years, lol :)

Yeah, it was great! My Sims had a good time, despite their situation with their missing younger sister.

It didn't show up on the calendar. I got a pop-up in game saying my Sims were graduating the next day and invited me to give them a party. I found it under Events, that you can add in the calendar. It's a goaled Event, just so you'll know. Have fun!

Yeah, I found that my younger two Sims stayed outside when their older brother and the other four Sims graduating with them went inside. The two just stood there chatting. Don't know if it's a bug or not, I had no way to control them, either. It was strange, much.
