One of my sims had the "graduate 3 kids" want fulfilled when only two of her kids had graduated. Nobody else in that neighborhood had graduated yet. In her memories, she had two memories of each kid graduating. The first would be "Nicholas graduated summa cum laude" and, a few memories later, the second would just be something like "Nicholas graduated", without listing honors. I'm not sure what generated the second memory, but I did move each grad from one lot to another soon after graduation, so maybe that did it? Also, maybe it only happens if the kid had a 4.0.
Anyway, I love the bug, because it means a sim with that want only has to have two kids, and because the specific sim it first happened to died between when her second and third kids graduated, so she died happy and platinum.
This happens in my game a lot. Not with all Sims, but most. I always delete the second one, because it makes them look as if they had a lesser degree than they actually had. I have no idea what causes it, but it's a pain, because the memory has to be deleted from all family members and anyone around at the time as well, otherwise it'll get passed on to all and sundry.Anyway, I love the bug, because it means a sim with that want only has to have two kids, and because the specific sim it first happened to died between when her second and third kids graduated, so she died happy and platinum.
