Not graduating university/no degree

★★★ Newbie

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
What is your current game version number? GP03: 1.assets.live-gp03.199
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get to work, seasons, island living, discover university, cats and dogs, my first pet, toddler, parenthood, realm of magic, vampires, kids room, journey to batuu, dine out
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Sim graduated university; no notification about graduation and did not receive diploma.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim doesn’t have anything to show for degree.
What do you expect to see? Sim should be able to attend graduation and receive diploma/degree.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure 

So I had my sim go to UBrite in the distinguished culinary arts program. He took 4 classes each term and achieved an A+ GPA. His final class for his final term was on a Tuesday. Important to note: I had him living at home rather than on campus as I couldn’t figure out how to save the game without possibly losing the whole family. 

When he came back from class I saw his report card but nothing about attending graduation. I checked the calendar and there has been nothing in regards to graduation. I took him to UBrite and Checked the buildings to see if there were any prompts, but there were not. It’s now Thursday in the game and he still hasn’t received any notification about graduation or his diploma. 

when I look at the culinary jobs it’s only entry level. I can’t enroll him in university anymore, but under the career panel it shows class schedule and says “term days left: this sim has graduated. No more terms to attend”. 

i have 3 other sims

@crinrict I’m not sure if this matters but I’ve had the game open and paused for a while, while doing some digging to try and figure it out.

Also is there a way to share my save file without social media or a USB? I don’t have social media but I can manage to get a USB later on but I don’t know how that will affect the file.

@crinrict Second question that I just thought of; I have an external storage drive in my ps4, is it possible to take that, plug it into my computer (like you would a USB) and get the file that way?

I saw in the forum that someone else that had this problem fixed it by reloading a saved game file.  Unfortunately I did not have a recent save game file to use and it has been some time since this happened. I just went on to other things and just recently came back to it.  This is my completionist character. She has maxed all skills, almost all aspirations (can't defeat the stupid mother plant!), is working through the careers-maxed about 8 so far, but has only successfully received one degree. This is the second one.  I have to fix this.  I can't start over with a new completionist character.

Re: No diploma, can't enroll in more classes

★★★ Apprentice

Wow I thought I didn't recieve the diploma and the photo because I cheated by making my sim complete all the semesters, I just played through the first one, then I changed households to play with my main family but returned to the sim in university once I got the notification of the graduation ceremony. There was no ceremony at all the only thing that happened was that moving out event to get the sim's things and that's it and once she moved out, I didn't get the diploma nor the photo. But I haven't tried re-enrolling her yet.
