Ok granted I play with aging off but we should have a graduation ceremony when your sim graduate early or have the player to choose a graduation ceremony themselves in the calendar. I had my sim graduate early but no highschool diploma then they said she dropped out of highschool and if she wants her diploma you have to get it online so I went online no diploma??? So my sim is going to college early I guess lol. My thing is players should have the option to choose the graduation ceremony. Graduation doesn't work apparently for aging off and that's wrong imo.

I aged my teen sim up to young adult, and the following Sunday was her graduation ceremony, which is at the same auditorium as the prom and career day. Important to note is that while it did show up on my calendar, I got no pop-up at the time of the ceremony, I had to actively go into the calendar and send her. I also had a bit of a glitch or bug where she wouldn't change into her cap and gown.I believe that graduating early deliberately removes the option for a graduation, I'm not sure if you're supposed to get a diploma for that still or not, but you are supposed to get a "graduated early" trait that gets you career bonuses or something.

@GalacticGal Yeah the only perk from graduating early is getting a "graduated high school early trait" that gives a career boost.

My Sims just went to the graduation at the auditorium in Copperdale and now she can't wear anything but her graduation robe. I already made a post about it in the AnswerHQ. So my advice is: Do not attend the ceremony.

I wish i'd found this sooner lol! I am still playing with new saves to see how it all works before I go to my other saves, and I am probably on about week 4 or 5 in game, and I have used the potion of youth to stop her aging up so I can see a graduation hahaha! I feel silly!

If you go to the Graduation ceremony, you can actually have your sim go up and get a diploma, even if they've graduated early. In my test play, I had one sim graduate early, and the other age up and graduate.I never got a notification about graduation starting, but I went to the auditorium right around 6pm on the Sunday after the second sim aged up and was able to have both sims go across the stage. (I clicked on "receive ceremonial diploma" for both of them, because I didn't trust the game to not bug out.) I'd have to check their inventories, but I believe both received a graduation picture too (tip - change the first "everyday" outfit to the cap and gown if you want them in the picture.)This was before any bug-fixes from this week's patch too.

Where is the graduation ceremony???

I know this might sound stupid but when you say the Sunday after. If I age up on Saturday on Sunday is the ceremony. Or is it the next Sunday. I was really bummed out to on the graduation ceremony. Really the only bug that I experienced.

If you age up before midnight on Saturday, your Graduation ceremony is the next day. I'm unsure of the timing between midnight and 2 am (because 2 am is the "end of day" for holidays and such)

Basically I saw James Turner do this in his Let's Play and tried it and it worked for me the same way.

It's annoying that there is no message informing us that it's time for graduation. There are messages for prom, why not graduation? I waited and waited the Sunday after my Sim grew up.
I think I also saw a message saying something was coming in the mail? Nothing came.

I've been able to attend graduation ceremonies with two of my sims.

Graduation is shown in the household calendar but not in advance, only on the Sunday it takes place:

Shortly before 6 pm there is a pop up:

If you agree to go to the event, you can choose some of your household members to go with you.

I'm sorry that a lot of you have problems with this feature.

Edit: The pop up won't appear if you leave the lot/the game in between.
