How can I graduate an adult sim from High School?

Why you age them to move them in? I add newspaper kids in everytime my hood become short of playable kids and I do it by "add to family". They don't lose their NPC characteristics and should be much easier for you to find out what they are hidding. Maids included this way, when they die they get the maid status back instead of "unemployed". Looks like Inges teleporter from TS2.

Slymenstra:
Another thing I noticed in my game all the NPCs look exactly the same.  Give this one to the fire gods and try with a new papergirl? 

I have moved in paperboys and I did not ever see them acting differently or showing signs of any special traits.

In my game every time I start a new instance of Sunset Valley, Dustin Langerak--a married adult with two children--is listed as an elementary school student. I haven't attempted to do anything about it because the first time it happened I was interested to see if he'd try to ride the school bus with his children. He didn't, and I was kind of disappointed, but nothing else unusual happened, either. Dustin was able to get a job and go to work on schedule, and the "elementary school student" thing went away on its own. The next time I started a new version of Sunset Valley I checked in on the Langeraks again, and sure enough, Dustin once again believed himself to be an elementary school student, and once again, the situation fixed itself without any intervention from me. So you might want to save the game--just in case--and try playing the sim through a few days to see if it'll fix itself.

Doc Doofus:
Oh well... I understand there isn't supposed to be any hidden traits or behaviors of ex-newspaper-carriers, but I wanted to see for myself.  It just intrigues me that there are some NPCs in this game that have fewer traits than others.  It makes you think something must be going on there, but I guess in this case, there isn't.

I'd still like to graduate her from high school though.  I guess down-aging and up-aging is the way to do that.  She's not part of the chosen family anymore (I moved her out, into her own house), so maybe I'll just let her live the rest of her life as a high school student.

I think the fewer traits that some NPCs have are just random. Like how sometimes if your have a near perfect pregnancy you can pick two traits and then you'll end up with five later on, or if not just four.
