Other than that I have no idea, I don't have the pack.
From what i've seen yet, the graduation event seems to be available when you age your Teen Sim to Young Adult, that means your Sim will most likely not get the graduation event while being a Teen. BUT there is the option of Early Graduation and your sim will finish the school while being a Teen, so MAYBE there is a graduation event for this as well (Unfortunately i wasn't able yet to make a Sim to "graduate early", so i'm not sure if there is a graduation while being a teen in this specific case.)
Now there is a thing about the graduation event and it can be bad for someone who play with "Aging - Off".
When the graduation happens and your Sim attend it, the game will select some few teens from your School to attend as well and those Teen Sims from your game will age to Young Adult automatically (even if seconds before the event all of them were still a Teen Sim)
You can of course avoid the Graduation event in order to avoid the non-playable Teen Sims from aging.
So is it bad for who plays with "Aging - Off"? It depends on your point of view.
Eventually all of the Teen pre-made Sims from your School will become Young Adults, because of too many Graduations from your Playable Sims and so the game will start to generate new families in "Other Households" (Dad, Mom, Children and Teen - Sometimes only Teens alone, from what i've seen in my tests) and so there is always going to have new Teen Sims in your Save/School, thanks to the graduation event.
Eventually Culling will take care of those families and remove them from the "Other Households" or at least some of them (if you play your save long enough, the culling will happen for sure). So take care if you have any important family in the "Other households" and move those important Sims for the "My Households" tab.
For me it was a good thing the way devs made the Teen Sims age in Graduation, but it would be nice to have some way to block some non-playable Teen Sims from aging without some interference from me.
ohh i see i see so as long as i dont do the early graduation it should be an endless highschool for the sim?
Yes. If you early graduate, i think your Teen Sims wil leave the school permanently.
If you want your Teen Sims to stay in school forever, simply don't age your Sim to young adult and also while being a Teen, cancel the Early Graduation option when the times come.
I think the only problem is when you do a rotational gameplay and your Teen Sim from another house/family, could potentially show up in the graduation event, but i'm yet waiting to see this happening, since i have too many Teens in my save and it will take a while.
I see, This could be a bug and can be fixed later or is already fixed idk since it was still early access. :)
Yeah i just saw this video and it seems the non-playable Sims remained Teen. I could be wrong, but i think this recorded gameplay was pre-patch and they changed it, because for example, there is also this video here
https://youtu.be/aA7iYGfKJik?t=775
take a look at time 12:55
This video seems to be after the patch/official launch and in this case some Sims are also Young Adult, for example the new teens from the pack. Molly Prescott and Sidney Price. I think it will be this way for everyone now.
it took me a while, but 7:38 briefly shows that the graduate is not a young adult, but actually a teen from Fantayzia's video. And so, this contradiction actually surprises me. The unplayed sims are apparently teens as well during the graduation ceremony from Fantayzia's graduation version.
Yes. I think that's because after the launch, the devs changed it, made the Teens become Young adults in the grad ceremony and that's why there is contradiction between those two videos.
I think this way makes more sense tbh.
Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to that question yet with 100% certainty since I do not own the High School expansion pack yet mainly because I am still waiting for EA to fix the bugs from the most recent update, but I am assuming that graduating early still does not allow permission to attend the graduation ceremony or even get a high school graduation diploma. This could be because of a bug or because EA made this intentional where the pack does not allow you attend the ceremony or even get a high school diploma when graduating early because of getting good grades at high school.
The UK has secondary schools which are the equivalent to high school in the USA, typically kids sit the GCSE tests on various subjects and if all the learning they did paid off over the years, they'll get their grades back and celebrate if they are good grades (anything at or above C grade is good - to Americans that's: GPA - 2.0). Usually kids are 12 years old when they arrive and 16 years old by the time they sit their tests, so by September the kids return to school to get their grades and that's it, they graduated early with no ceremony.
However some kids can remain in school for two more years in what is known as sixth form(Junior and Senior years in America) because their grades are advanced enough to be allowed to be taught even more challenging subjects.
High School in the USA is not a lot different except that kids arrive at 14 years old and sit their tests when they are 18.
So i'm wondering if it's an intentional design choice? so by the time the schooling comes to an end in the game, it would be assumed that the kid has built up enough credits to make it through to University on a high grades, plus learning various skills to a reasonably good level. by this point they are right at the end of their teenage years so they can be enrolled just after they age up.
Where as other students who didn't do so well in school graduated early and don't get accepted into university, so they go on to live a regular life, and then they age up a few days later, get a job and that's that. Although it's not the end of the world to not have the highest education.
I have a feeling that "MAYBE" a Teen Sim doing a early grad will not get a grad ceremony for sure... BUT the graduation event could show up if you age this same Sim to Young Adult. Of course it's just a expectation, i didn't had time yet to check if this is going to happen.
