    Day 27 Saturday

    Miranda had a lovely snow filled day with cuddles and new experiences. It is one day before graduation :) (I checked and all of the students that were in school with her are now young adults, so I think they might be at the graduation with her ;)
    Miranda woke up early and did all her morning routines

    She then painted a little bit and then thought of trying something different.

    Ice skating :) First off it was hard, but Miranda got the hang of it.

    Then she had to run home when it started snowing a bit too much

    Arriving at home she made herself some dinner when there was a knock at the door

    Kiyoshi came for a quick visit, he missed Miranda

    Something went wrong, although all her classmates are young adults the graduation never happened. I will wait one more sim week and see what happens. Looks like its buggy in my game :(

    Day 28 Sunday

    So the calendar never showed graduation, but when I googled it, it said that a pop up will still come up the first Sunday after aging up. None of that happened though, so Miranda just had another normal chill day today. Kiyoshi did come to visit though, which was nice. Not sure what to do now mmmm ???
    Miranda woke up all excited for her graduation today.

    Ok, after some googling, it says that the graduation ceremony should appear on the Calender on Monday, the sims needs to be a young adult for a week before it shows. Lets hope that is the case. One more week of not doing much for Miranda then LOL. Will load my game just to check if it shows Monday morning when she wakes up, not enough time to play a full day again ;)

    edit to add

    There you go, it's there, I guess I will work on her skills a bit this week before starting uni and attending her graduation ;)

    Lindsay didn't get a high school graduation, but she pretty much went straight to university. Good Luck!
  • JojoMOMSTERJojoMOMSTER Posts: 1,957 Member
    Maybe she could start Uni then do grad as a homecoming?

    @mcrudd - I saw something about a glitch with graduation and the Talent Showcase. What I had to do was change all the venues that were lounges to bars or nightclubs or karaoke bars in all worlds. Some items may have to be added, such as a tv, but most have all the stuff necessary to change them. I hope this helps. :)

    When I had a run-through with a test sim, this is what happened, graduation never came and then I read about the conflict with Lounges. When I changed them, no problem. I am still kind of upset about her friends in high school that didn't age up to YA for graduation, but it looks like all yours did. I think most of Ali's friends were still stuck in high school waiting for that graduation ceremony! lol
  • mcruddmcrudd Posts: 11,696 Member
    @NRowe aww poor Lindsay, how dare the game not give her a graduation ceremony.

    @JojoMOMSTER its all goods, she will work on some skills this week, I have aging set back to long after her fellow classmates aged up. So should have more than enough time :)

    @SoulGal7 thanks so much for that tip, I will change all the lounges to karaoke bars (I like those) I think the reason Miranda's fellow class mates aged up is because I used short age span and waited until the day of her birthday, that way she was not aged up too early as the game tries to have the ages matched with your actual sim's. Then once she aged and her friends aged, I changed it back to long aging. Well that is my theory LOL. Gonna load my game now and start changing all the venues that are lounges now :D
  • mcruddmcrudd Posts: 11,696 Member
    Gosh never realized how many lounges there were. Changed 7 lounges into 7 Karaoke bars now LOL. Super glad I did not have to change bars, there are much more of them LOL. Anyways back into my game to start her day 29 :)

    Day 29 Monday

    Miranda had a nice relaxing day, just working on her debate skills and also joining the penpal community. She decided to work on the research and debate skills as she heard via other sims that it helps you a lot once you start university.
    Miranda woke up this morning with a plan to start working on her final aspiration for the challenge

    A nice warm bubble bath and some brekkie to start off the day

    And lets research and debate

    Miranda recently joined the penpal community, it is lots of fun, she has one postcard from Riverview, sounds like a nice place.

    @mcrudd - Day 26, 27, 28 & 29
    Day 26 - Ha! Ha! Gown's getting tight? I was thinking that maybe Miranda and Kiyoshi had a "little fun" and that was the reason for the weight gain. lol Probably all those not-so-healthy food choices. And, it's true? Ice cream makes your sims lose weight? Oh very cool. Must be a certain flavour. teehee Woot! And Miranda got her acceptance letter! Look at all those choices! That kitchen does really look good. One day, I am going to force myself to make rooms with everything in them instead of just the bare minimum like I normally do! lol

    Day 27 - Sometimes I get too focused on a challenge and forget about doing some fun things. Ice skating is so great! Ahhh...Kiyoshi missed her. That is so sweet and they build a snowpal together.

    Day 28 - That face that Miranda makes when graduation doesn't come is hilarious. Like...hey, my calendar told me it was tonight. I bought a dress and everything...and now I have to wait a whole week! Sheesh! Yes, fun and games with sims 4 bugs. lol Let's hope we see her graduate soon. And, yes, I love those karaoke machines and my sims singing. Way too much, too. I could spend too many sim days just having my sim sing those karaoke tunes! When they get good, Iove to hear how their voice sounds like and how they sound with other sims. I think one of my fav packs with the Sims 1 was the expansion pack Superstar. I loved having my sim sing.

    Day 29 - Good that Miranda is getting a head start on her Research and Debate skills. Might as well work on those skills as she waits for her graduation. Will she be staying in her house or moving into residence? I just find that the pop-ups for activities seem to come when they are in residence vs. stay at home. She is looking so great, and sweet, that she has a video chat with Kiyoshi. :)
  • mcruddmcrudd Posts: 11,696 Member
    @SoulGal7 Hahaha no no no, little babies will wait till after university and when our infants arrive ;) I think she is eating too well hahahaha. If you craft diet ice cream with the ice cream machine then your sim loses weight, Miranda had to eat two bowls to get nice and skinny. Wish we had that in real life. I saw the ice skating rink through her window so thought it is something different to do. Oh my gosh Superstar and making magic were my favourite sims 1 packs too. I used to have pen and paper to look at the judges scoring so that I could figure out what my sim had to do to advance in superstar, was not that easy LOL. I thought of leaving her at home, but after watching your gameplay, I might just move her into one of the university campuses.
    I am hoping to play a bit later, my health has not been the best and I am seeing the cardiologist for a stress ecg on the 14th so am weaning off my beta blockers which is making me very tired and my resting heart rate is way to high so I can hardly move around then it spikes. I might play after a short power nap.

    @mcrudd - I am so sorry to hear about the problems you are having with your heart. I do hope that everything will be alright soon :) *hugs to you *
  • NRoweNRowe Posts: 7,877 Member
    Sorry to hear you haven't been well @mcrudd I know all too well about tests and hospitals and being sick.


    New chapters up on Lindsay's story. So excited for the latest developments.
  • mcruddmcrudd Posts: 11,696 Member
    Thank you so much @SoulGal7 and @NRowe, I am hoping they will find out what is wrong soon and start the healing <3

    Day 30 Tuesday

    Miranda had another chill day, guess a few of those are going to come until graduation LOL.

    Thank you so much @JojoMOMSTER and @mightysprite <3

    @all going to load my game now.
  • mcruddmcrudd Posts: 11,696 Member
    Ok, so you guys know what Miranda does everyday. Wakes up, uses bathroom, has bath, have breakfast, does a painting, sell it and then practice debate, talk to a penpal, request a postcard and have dinner, talk to Kiyoshi unless he visits and then bed time, so just imagine all of those. I am going to play through to Sunday morning, and then update ;)

    Day 31 Wednesday , Day 32 Thursday, Day 33 Friday, Day 34 Saturday as above :D
    Will play now and then update Day 35 :)
  • mcruddmcrudd Posts: 11,696 Member
    Oh my gosh guys, Sunday just started in my game and the graduation ceremony is no longer in the calendar :/
    Will just play it out and see what happens ;)
  • mcruddmcrudd Posts: 11,696 Member
    Day 35 Sunday

    It was a huge disappointment for me, with no graduation happening, why even bother having packs that the features never work :( Anyways for Miranda it was a fun day, she had Kiyoshi over and got lots of new penpals. She had her own private graduation just her, and then enrolled into university. I have moved her into a dorm room where there are two beds, but I locked the door for everyone and I am going to change it with the buy cheat and then it will be her own big room, I mean come on she used to live in a big house. Seems like that is gone too, never played just one sim going to university and it sold her house automatically I think, anyways time to just complete this challenge and get it over with.

    @mcrudd - oh so sorry that this did not work for you, so no graduation. Bummer :( Well, at least all those teens aged up when Miranda did. So, I got part of it, and you got the other part! lol What I did so Ali wouldn't lose her house is to have someone stay there while she was in uni, I used her friend Liam (Maxis made sim) & just temporarily moved him in, and then when she moved to Moonwood Mill, just then moved household & all her belongings came with her.

    She looked great in her high school graduation robe. I love her dorm room with all the pics. So cool she is going in for Culinary Arts. (I had to fake grad pics with Jacob for uni, so all is good.) There must still be a graduation glitch for high school.

    That face that Kiyoshi makes when Miranda tells him she is going to uni...it's like...what...you're going to Britechester..when will I see you again? Great update!
