Sorry for confusion. I tried testing with the existing save with mod enabled and disabled. I also tried with the new save without mods first and then enabled mod later.
I normally played multiple households and generations so I tried play rotationally in the new save file and return to the same one. There is no issue with the new save file so far with and without mod since I only play with one of my household.
I'm guessing it caused by switching to another one of my household where also has another Valedictorian who graduated around the same time as well (not the unplayed pre-made one like on the screenshot I sent earlier).
The main difference between my existing save and the new save (both mods enabled and disabled) that I noticed: (see the next reply bc it said Content Not Published)
