I went back to my Main Save, as I needed a break from Cottage Living. I deleted some of the saves back up to their Third Term of Uni, since I rushed the game trying to get to a certain point before the new EP was released. Silly me. I just discovered something very interesting about this new calendar. I clicked on the Graduation event, which opened up on the screen left panel. It not only gave the times of the ceremony for each of my seven Sims, but, on the left side of the screen was a blank heart. I found that by clicking it (just trying to understand what it meant) it would fill in.What does this mean? What is the significance of it?Please, and thank you, in advance.

If it fills in I think it's to mark the event as favourite.

I tested with the holidays and Sims gets a sad moodlet from skipping (cancelling) a holiday even if it’s favourited or not. (I had hope that it should be affected, not all Sims should be sad from skipping halloween…).

I was wondering the same thing. Too bad no one seems to know what it really does (if anything).

All seven of my graduates went to their ceremony. Nothing different from any other time, so it leads me to think it doesn't really do anything at all. Hopefully, someone who knows will step up and answer the question. :)

I just googled it and yep, it's to mark them as a favorite so that you can keep track of them with the favorites filter.

Is it favourite for that household or all households in that save or...?

I don't know. I was next to each of the graduates' name. Makes me wonder had I not filled in the heart by clicking on it, if those unmarked wouldn't have graduated despite having 12/12 credits?

I guess it's only for the same reason you can favourite items in inventory: to use a specific filter to filter non-favourites out and see the favourites only.

For what purpose, though? So, it's favorited? I don't get why it's even there. What, will the game eliminate those Sims set to graduate, if you don't favorite them? It's bizarre, if you ask me and so very unnecessary. EA, please concentrate of critical aspects of the game that need tweaking and stop patting yourselves on the back for adding innocuous items.
