    I mostly play like a control freak xD I've never even had a Sim expelled from college, only on academic probation once or twice :O But sometimes I don't make them learn certain skills, e.g. cleaning when they're very sloppy, that helps me not have all 4.0 GPAs. Once I thought one Sim would get expelled, I just left her alone to do her own thing and she still passed with 2.3 GPA... well, ok then :D
    Sometimes I follow their wants to go for a certain major, but I've noticed that popularity Sims *always* want to major in political science, so that's a bit boring. I mostly choose the major for them, according to their lifetime want if it's a job, or based on their skills to make it easy for them (or harder, if they're knowledge Sims).
    I might "steal" some of your system, especially for Sims that seem unsure whether they even wanted to go to college. I really need to let someone be expelled one day xD

    I adore Uni in Sims 2, cause theres a great work/play balance. Like my sims can be A/B students and still romance and find partners and party. They really feel like theyre growing up and finding themselves. I have been going by wants lately, and so Ive been having more probation lately, but I also have been going by like lifelong drive and family expectations (and I do follow ‘complete senior year’ or ‘get on the deans list’ as a go ahead) so so far no actual drop outs.

    I don't like uni because it feels way too American for me with the frat houses and such. I get The Sims is a game made by an American company. I don't mind the option of having frat houses and even a university with them. However, out of the three unis available, two features frat houses and they are a huge part of the neighbourhood. LaTour Academy also feels less developed. But it feels like, for you to truly enjoy the uni experience in TS2, you have to play them or else, you just cater to your sim's needs and help him gain his skill points for his grades.

    • @mywatchdoesmath4669
      @mywatchdoesmath4669 3 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I will say, one major downside to frat/sorority houses is having to control EVERY SINGLE SIM in that household. Between juggling my sims needs and having to keep seven other sims from flunking out, my sims may not get the necessary skill levels or develop the useful hobby skills I'd like them to have by the time they graduate. Then, you usually end up with a bunch of sims clogging up your town bin after the other sims graduate, but rarely do I have any interest in continuing their stories or playing with them any further once my sim has graduated. Oh, and for the love of GOD, never be friends/pledge with any members of secret societies. They will be on your doorstep EVERY night to take your sims to the secret lots. It got so bad on in one house, I just started deleting doors so they couldn't take anyone.
      I do like frats/soroties for the pure chaos of having different personalities interact and like the grind of getting the frat/sorority to the top level, but unless I lock it in or I think it'll fit in with my sims storyline, I usually leave them alone for all the reasons listed above. Or if they do join, I make them live anywhere but the frat/sorority houses. It can get overwhelming.

I binged the whole TS3 Pleasant view season 1 and 2 but it seems like most of the other uploads are streams and that's too long for me. Do you think you'll edit more let's plays in that way? I understand if not since I know you make other videos that require editing too and probably get more views (which are really good too btw I recently found your channel and looove it, it's made me want to go back to the older games as soon as I get a computer again).

    I like college although it can get very long sometimes. I like your style of playing it and I may give it a try later on. We'll see if I'm brave enough to let them fail. Also, right now, I'm playing a prosperity challenge so I want as many to graduate with high honors as I can get for the points but afterwards I may go with the wants system.
    LOL at all the woohoos. I have a greek house that has a hot tub (and I have ACR) and I've had to actually remove the tub because of having a couple in danger of freezing to death because they couldn't stop woohooing in the hot tub in Winter! Gotta love those 3-bolt sims. Great video as always.

    I play university in a similar manner but most of my sims pass because I have rules about them getting in to uni to begin with. 4 scholarships (Including badge scholarships) are needed (unless the parents are rich enough to pay to let them in) and a lot of my kids are quite skilled up by then due to my double ageing mod. Other Young Adults might do college in the main hood, own a business, do odd jobs or whatever else they want for the 10 days that I have them be young adults. Some start families. All my teens become YA if they attend uni or not as I play it as a life span. Added to wants in uni I may allow some sims to romance profs or hack grades rather than work for them.

      @@PleasantSims I age kids not doing college at home on the simblender because it gives no memory of UNI. If they are going to do college from home I use Squinge's YA cake as it adds the memory.
      I also use a mod that allows them to get jobs and another to allow the job panel to show. The downfalls are having to manually count days since they have the uni UI and sometimes they try and go to class even with the UNI clock not advancing. Sunrader has the semester tester like a small pile of books. You can start the uni clock on that.

    Don't forget also that if you have a romance sim with a lot of romance wants or a popularity sim with relationship wants, you can always build relationships with your professors. I sometimes have my romance sims with a LTW of "Woohoo with 20 sims" pass their classes by sleeping with their teachers XD

    In my current hood I play 4 days per family each round, but for Uni I play 8, because it makes more sense, because if one twin went to college and the other didn't, why should the college one get extra lifespan? Although I use the elixir for some sims I want to live long. 8 days isn't that long for me with Uni because I usually fly through it on 3x speed and never play in dorms

    My style has changed since I started watching you! I now do something really similar to this and it is super fun. Only I also play with a mod that lets my young adults live at home to study and go to school or just experience young adulthood for those who don't end up going to college. Because not everyone wants to go to university. Or they want to go or feel bad about going because they have to help their family out with financial responsibilities (looking at you Dustin Broke). I have another mod that lets young adults get full or part-time jobs so if they do stay home they can go ahead and start their career or work while going to school.

    This has given me some inspiration, Sims 2 University is my favourite Sims pack of all time and while I've always loved the challenge of maxing everyone's progress bar, it got to the point where I was able to fairly easily make 10 sims max their bar simultaneously, so now its time for something new just like this!

    I've a question though and I can't for the life of me find the answer in your rules or in your videos, so maybe you or somebody from your viewers can help :)
    How exactly do you adjust the money the sims have when they have already graduated from college? Do you use familyfunds cheat ot do you withdraw money before they leave college?
    I'd appreciate some advice

    TS2 Uni has a special place in my heart. I could'nt afford Sims at the time and pizza hut had a deal with TS2 + Uni free. I went halves with my then bo in the food and promtly went in search of what I later found 'shader 2.0' as I had no graphics card either. Speed 3 was like a half of 1, but so worth it.

    I love these gameplay ideas! I've always "helicopter mom"-ed my college sims, making sure everyone does all their homework and has all the skills they need to get an A+. But I think I'm going to try your method of only working on skills if my sims roll a Want to do so, or if they start doing a skill-building activity autonomously. I'm also going to download a mod to make semester length shorter, because those 72-hour semesters make it WAY too easy to get a passing grade, especially in autumn.

    Firstly, I meant to mention it in the last video but forgot so I'm going to say it this time: I love your new hair! I liked your old hair too but change is good :). Also, I tried to get Sims 2 ultimate set up using a lot of the mods in your list but it kept crashing at various intervals (one was at the initial camera flyby in a neighbourhood and another was when I tried to create a new sim). After five hours of fighting with it, I gave up, deleted everything and uninstalled. LOL. I'll play vicariously through your videos. Besides, I'm leaning toward your gameplay preference of letting the sims decide their futures. It makes for some really curious and interesting gameplay (with some unexpected results at times). :)

    Ah this custom university is cool, I'm using it in my game too, but I did my own not generic dormies. My Sims need to pay for every year of uni, so if they have probation, they need to pay (borrow from parents) even more. But most of the time they pass and finish collage. Grades depends from aspiration and their character, if they are lazy they not gonna finish with A. And if they fail, most of the time it's because it fits my story xD I really like your custom clothes btw

I use your rules and mods except I use inteen for college pregnancy. Angela almost flunked out and now she’s pregnant. Lilith didn’t even make it to college, she got pregnant with Dirk’s baby in high school. Now she’s cheating on Dirk with Gavin Newson and I’m shook (I put the Newson family from the bin into my orphanage and when the kids befriend another kid in the neighborhood I let them grown up together). I’m having so much fun and I have you to thank for that Cindy.
