Not sure if MCCC is messing with graduation or if I'm just not understanding how to trigger it? I'm currently playing on normal lifespan with custom settings through mccc, and my teen has gone through about 30 days of school. He ages up today and I haven't heard anything about graduation other than the constant offers to graduate early. I want the ceremony at the auditorium though, I don't want just the boring "you graduated!" popup.Is the game supposed to trigger the graduation ceremony on its own? Has my custom aging settings messed it up? Just looking for some insight. (: Thank you!

As soon as your sim ages up, their graduation ceremony will be scheduled on the next Sunday.

I have to make a correction. On the next Sunday. The Sunday first calendar system confused me (I use Monday first system).

Welp, careful. The graduation ceremony ages other teens up. It's buggy anyways...As a rotational player, I think I'll skip them...

She's finished 2 teen aspirations and gotten max level in an afterschool activity. I even had her get max in a side hustle. The option is still grayed out and tells me I need good grades and high skills to graduate early. Do you have to max them all? That seems a bit of a stretch if I had aging on and normal lifespan.I don't know. I have constant phone calls about graduating early. This is annoying. I said NO, so why does my game want to force it on me?

Well unfortunately, I went ahead and let him age up and graduation still never appeared on my calendar. ): Though it sounds like that was a good thing anyway, because his younger sister is in high school now and I don't want it aging all of her classmates into young adults.

P. S. What time is graduation?

6:00 PM on Sunday. It will be marked on your calendar. If you don't get a pop-up notification to attend it, open up the calendar and click "Go to the Event".

I believe it is two whole years, spring to winter twice over. I am currently playing with the aging off because I want several of my Sims to experience the high school years, then all age up together.
I had one Sim graduate early. At first she got a notice that she had dropped out, but then she got another notification that said she could attend college early. I moved her out of the household to put on hold because the other teen I had in the household is going to go through the entire experience until graduation.I looked at the calendar today and there are no more school events listed after 2 weeks time, so it's almost over. It is pretty long and grueling.

When does it happen? My sim ages up soon so I wanted to make sure she won’t miss it.
