Woot! Graduation Day!
BUT
Dad was at the fountain of youth trying to get an extension on his life. Eventually he arrived home rejuvenated, leapt into the cab with the rest of the family and away they all went.
Granny, Great Granny, Mum, Dad, little brother and toddler sister. (I had been playing with ageing off for weeks, and when I restarted it everyone got old at the same time.....)
Why is it every time one of my sims graduates there is a starving, exhausted toddler screaming their head off throughout the ceremony? That was not the worst, however.
Just before the graduation reached its grande finale there came a familiar doom laden sound. Great Granny turned grey, began to float, there was a crash of thunder and Grim Reaper arrived. Within minutes all that was left of Great Granny was a grave stone, and a very very unhappy toddler sitting on the pavement screaming her head off.
The doors began to open when - again with the familiar sound of doom. Granny also turned grey and ghostly, the reaper returned, did his stuff, and lo, there were TWO gravestones outside City Hall.
The graduate emerged, collected the gravestones, Mum collected the screaming and by now filthy toddler and changed her diaper, and they all went home wailing loudly over the deaths. Some graduation day.
Incidentally - what music do you hear in the US when your sim graduates? I am in the UK, and the background music playing during the graduation ceremony is "Land of Hope and Glory" something I'm sure that is not played in the US or any other country where sims are graduating.

Makes you wonder how that got to be the #1 graduation pick, with so many stately marches in existence?
And for all of the tragedy of your Sims' special day...it's FUNNY! :-o
Well, the game waits for me to throw a party, has all the elderly NPCs show up and die. Last party I threw, three sims died!
Aging is weird in the Sims 3...
