ETA: Still can't get YAs to graduate, unfortunately. I threw a grad party for the sim, and afterwards she just stood there doing nothing. So I used the debugger and it said 2 things fixed, and I could get her to use the phone to 'Return to Pleasantview', however she still stood there doing nothing. So I used the debugger again and it fixed 1 thing, was able to use the phone to 'Return..' again, and the same thing happened again, over and over. Eventually had to boolprop her out of there because her Aspiration was falling below Platinum.
Don't know what's going on, but detonating the move-out controller doesn't seem to fix the problem. :(
This happened to me with the very first CAS I tried to graduate when the EP was new. She took her final exam and finished, but this is when I first experienced the 'Trance-Stance'. I thought maybe it had something to do with that particular house being left empty, so I brought in two more CAS students. My stuck Sim remained behind for 3-4 more terms with her housemates. She did the cooking for them and read for skill. I tried everything I could think of and as long as she didn't use the phone to call home or throw a party she was fine - I did not have any mods or hacks in my game - played straight from the box. If she tried to move out by computer, I received a message that said another Sim was trying to move out and to try again later. I finally had to move the three out and into the bin and then move them immediately back into the same house. She transitioned immediately and the game proceeded as expected.

When I click the debugger I get different items on different lots. Some options are fairly obvious but others aren't. What does "Reroll randomized sim" do? And there is one about stuck bills that has appeared on several lots but as far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with their bills, other than not having paid them yet. The one lot that did seem to have missing bills did not have the stuck bills option. I could not find unpaid bills anywhere on the lot but got the notice that the repo man was coming. And I got the slowdown bug from it. After using boolprop to delete the stuck vehicle they kept trying to come back and kept getting stuck so had to vacate the lot.
Marvin Kosh:
As long as you have bills, there is the capability for them to get stuck, I think.
Randomise Sims is a tool that you need to use before, for example, a Sim childbirth. The random table for Sim personaliities is not very random, so this actually runs along a good few entries by creating and then discarding Sims. Any Sim child that is subsequently born should have a different personality to his/her siblings. However, in order to discard Sims, your lot must exit to the Neighbourhood and not save, so save your game beforehand ;)
hedgekat:
I've never had any particular problem with personalities for born-in-game sims. Often several in the family may have the same zodiac sign, but their allotment of personality points is usually pretty random. I've heard lots of people complain about "clone children", with all the children in a family looking identical. I've had this happen a few times but think it is more likely to be due to strongly dominant genetics. Have only had it happen with children of townies or npcs.
What is bothering me more right now is the majority of newly generated npcs and townies all having the same personalities. They are nearly all popularity-Aries. Can Randomize Sims fix that?
RainbowTigress:
One of my sims had several children who all looked alike. I thought this might be due to dominant genetics, but skintone does not have a dominant gene in the Sims. Since the mother has skintone 3 and the father has skintone 1, then there should have been children with skintones 1, 2, and 3. Only after using the randomize function did I get a child that was S1 with facial features that were different from the other siblings and more like the father. The child still has black hair and brown eyes, but that is to be expected since those are dominant genes.
