Interesting. I allowed the youngest Teen in my household to go ahead and graduate early, and she got nothing but accolades thrown her way. Now, so far no graduation ceremony, but she never got the Drop-Out moniker either. Unlike her older Teen brother who slogged his way through until he aged up just to be branded a Drop-Out. Now, he was able to go online, (I checked) and could, for 250 Simoleons, get his diploma so he could find a descent career, but since he's already a Global Superstar making Simoleons hand over fist, why bother? It's just annoying to me. I removed questionable mods, that I thought might be interfering and rolled back to just prior to his aging up, and yet he still got labeled a Drop Out, despite his checking on the computer the night before to learn he was carrying Straight A's! So, you tell me.

I use a fair number of mods; mostly my own I've made. And I've found that when a new pack comes out, easily 75% of the things that aren't working right are bugs in the pack, even without updating the mods. There are just so many errors in packs like High School that they don't even compare to what mods or even outdated mods cause.

That drop out business, who knows? It may even depend on how you choose to graduate early. I did it on the PC, but I think you can do it by accepting the phone call invitation to graduate, too (which I'd modded off, because I was sick of getting it every day). Maybe with the call you don't get the drop out bit.

• If you have a table (or other surface) under a bunk bed, the objects on/attached to the table disappear when you load back into the lot. I have seen it happen when I've the pre-September purchase exclusive objects and the new computers on my lot.
  
• Graduation ceremony is a mess. I had the valedictorian give speech, then the principal gave a diploma to the valedictorian, then that was it. I had to direct my sim to get her diploma because otherwise she would miss it.
  
• I do love seeing Social Bunny posts from the siblings on the same lot. You're having a pillow fight? No! You're eating a meal with your family!
  
• My teen goes to the school and gets a call from their their parent asking their child if they should try for baby. I don't know if I want a sibling right now, I'm trying to learn at school!
  
• Teachers aren't there because their décor preferences. Students skip classes because of their décor preferences. It's worth skipping classes because this table is beautiful/ugly. Priorities, man...
  
• A child with no maxed social skill goes into the Ferris wheel and gets their Mischief skill boosted. As social need wasn't maxed, nothing actually happened...
  
• Why can I take romantic selfies with siblings? With Moschino stuff, sims that were related cannot be put in romantic pose when you take a picture of them.
  
• People report sims randomly getting expelled. People report grades never raising. The cheat to raise the grade doesn't work anymore.
  
• Excuse me, why can't children use photo booths and play with footballs? They can in previous games!
  
• Sometimes two sims go to the photo booth to take a photo. They'll never get a photo...
  
• If you want to make a grown-up room, don't use a door. Use that escape window instead!
  
• I sold a Trendi outfit for 5,555,555 Simoleons! I won this game!
  
• Trendi outfits that are for sale are being used as a sleepwear.
  
• If there's a fire drill before lunch, you won't be getting that lunch anymore!
