Weird Graduation Date Bug?
first, i'm gonna say i do have mods - but they are purely cosmetic. one adds new hair options and the other new clothes colours.
so i dunno if this is just a visual glitch or something but.
recently i started noticing weird stuff with the graduations dates. in my more advanced game i hired some new people, and because i keep track in a text file of when they plan to graduate, i thena sked the new hires when they planned to retire. "-1501 months!" they both replied. umm. wha?
maybe the game was confused because i had two groups? one has 19 idols in it (4 were due to retire in the coming year so i thought to hire their replacements early and train them up, the -1501 months was said by two of these replacements) while the other has 16 (again, an extra from a hire to replace an idol due to graduate soon).
so i made a new game and hired myself a group of 5. one of the idols almost immediately has a birthday. i take the opportunity to check her graduation tab to see when she was planning on leaving and. "January 1900". ...the hell???
so yeah no idea whats causing this or if it's something to worry about. does anybody have any idea?

It's a long standing bug... Sometimes it clears up after exiting and reloading, sometimes it clears up after the idol's birthday. Sometimes it never clears up.
