Hey @EnglishSimmer. I'm glad you and others found it useful to have a look at the details. I just now go to look up whether you made this or not and you've done a fantastic job summarizing the information. I'd say most people are ready to jump in after seeing this, as I'm not aware of any benefits to going too deep into things like Selvadoradian Culture for the arts history degree. It's as you said for the most part - if you want to do some side trip or maybe make use of particular skills for other reasons it may be handy. It seems tuned around getting a D student into the programs, which means anyone who hits level 3 in a few of them is probably going to max out their odds of getting accepted.
As a Biology student, I find it hilarious that you need gardening skill. Because you ask me how a molecule is formed in a plant or how it travels and gets in and out of cells, how the roots are able to take in water and nutrients. Sure, I know that stuff (or I can easily check my notes). But tending an actual garden?? No idea, never heard of it.
Carl’s Guide is fantastic. He is the go to source for info on all things Sims. His TH-cam channels pretty good to. His videos are more “how to” and info and less “let’s play”. Thanks for showing him some love and giving him the credit.
I had the parent sims bribe the university with 2 000 simeleons (for real, it reminded me of the tori loughin drama ^^ my sims family is a rich one). For one daughter it worked, and for the other it backfired !
I have played teens, done the Scouts thing and A grade at School, I usually like to get a wide range of skills across the board, and then do more for the ones I really need, But also had YA Sims skill up and get offered all the distinguished degrees too. I love that we can have an elective skill 😁
I've been going to Carl's guides for information since Sims 3. I honestly don't think he'd feel like you're plagiarizing him by doing this video based on his guides. I think he'd enjoy seeing his knowledge put to good use, especially since you credit him.
I got my painting writing charisma and violin skills up to level 7 and maxed my photography skills and I still can't get a distinguished degree in the art history and or fine art like wtf do I need to do
Are you looking in the right college? I can usually get them degrees in fine art I believe with a high painting skill in brichester, with a sim that didn’t “grow up”. (Meaning I made them and played a few sim days and applied for scholarships)
Do you know if carl sims guide has an article for how to get scholarships yet? Also i have a save file with sims i would having relatively low skills, but come from a great family and had great grades in grade and high school and they each got accepted into at least 5 distinguished degrees at each uni each. This was helpful though! Sounds like theres way more to it than the surface implies. Thanks for sharing the guide!
So I know how many skill points my Sim needs to get INTO a degree, but how do we know how many Skill points are REQUIRED to keep earning an A? Clearly skill level comes into play somehow in the grading system, because you cannot simply go to class, do some homework, and complete the final/paper/presentation. Your Sim can still fail. Has anyone cracked the grading code yet?
I have Charisma, Comedy, also the Acting skill at level 10 and it still won’t let me get the Drama distinguished degree at Brichester -.- sooo can you explain that...?
Im still confused my sim has finished university with the language and literature degree how to i use it . Do i just apply for a job in law and it will go up fast or is there a way i have to do it
On the job list, it'll have the regular jobs and then it splits up the actual careers that are effected by your degree. So don't put them in the normal one, look for the separate track
Carl’s Guides are amazing. Thank you for giving him some attention!! I hope it drives people to his site.
I'm glad you like my work. Finding EnglishSimmer shared my site is a pretty cool way to start my day.
I know! His videos are really helpful.
I check his site first if I want to buy a pack

Carl's Sim Guides Carl thanks for all you work, you are an awesome asset to the community!
My sim had a A in school and got accepted for every distinguished degree in both unis
Cool lucky you
Cool I didn't know maybe I can use this thx
How
A in high school?

omg i clicked on this thinking it was actual university tips. guess i’m going down the sims rabbit hole now!
My Sim is 6 credits into a distinguished Villainy degree and I can't wait to see all the things I can use it for.
Carl’s Guide is fantastic. He is the go to source for info on all things Sims. His TH-cam channels pretty good to. His videos are more “how to” and info and less “let’s play”. Thanks for showing him some love and giving him the credit.
I absolutely love Carl's guides, I haven't even got University yet and I've read up on it!
Love all the quality content, but more importantly, I just noticed the Cosima Pop Figure in the background and totally fangirled all over the place!
I had the parent sims bribe the university with 2 000 simeleons (for real, it reminded me of the tori loughin drama ^^ my sims family is a rich one). For one daughter it worked, and for the other it backfired !
Clara omgg how?!
Bella B Ok UPDATE after some research : your parent sim has to be wealthy AND famous for the option to appear. It’s so realistic lmao
Clara thankyou! i actually have a famous sim with quite a few children, maybe i’ll try it out on her teen sim when she ages up 😁
You should also link his TH-cam channel “Carl’s Sims Guide” :)
She did! Thanks, Jaycille :)
I love Carl's Guides! But I also needed it via audio because I'm playing sims as we speak on another tab! xD
Hi from Brazil! 💛💚 This was so helpful! Thanks for making this videos, I really love your channel.
At first the drama degree got me confused af :P
Saffron Bloor how come? i haven’t tried it yet so i wouldn’t know

Thanks for making this video! I didn't know Carl's guide was complete for Uni yet! :D
This is great thank you, I've only ever been accepted to distinguished degree britechester art history and fine art

Carls Guide is the only site I trust 😂
Needed this!!
Just here to say that color looks amazing on you 💜
So helpful, thank you!
I sorta wish they added a archeology degree
carl's youtube channel is great too!
Yup! I put it in the description 😊
Thank you so much for this video! = )
Do you know if carl sims guide has an article for how to get scholarships yet?

Jazmine'sSim He does now have an article on scholarships! It is part of the article that lists degrees and how to get into them.
Hi! I love your videos omg! Love youuu xx
I hate how you can't redo degrees. I completed a distinguished degree without honors, and didn't have a backup save. =/
So I know how many skill points my Sim needs to get INTO a degree, but how do we know how many Skill points are REQUIRED to keep earning an A? Clearly skill level comes into play somehow in the grading system, because you cannot simply go to class, do some homework, and complete the final/paper/presentation. Your Sim can still fail. Has anyone cracked the grading code yet?
What do I do? I can’t even click on the distinguished degree it’s just grey
you’re so so pretty!
I have Charisma, Comedy, also the Acting skill at level 10 and it still won’t let me get the Drama distinguished degree at Brichester -.- sooo can you explain that...?
Will a degree help the acting career get more money as well. I know the gigs are capped
I have the skills for psychology at foxbury, but it still says I can't get in
Can you get distinguish degrees while being in university already??
maybe a stupid question but do you have to be a young adult to go to university? can teens go too?
Joshua Mariano i think only young adults, adults and elders can go
Young adults and up can go, but there is a mod for teens to get an opportunity to go!
upload charlie to the gallery omg
I love you for making this video, I really needed it. :)
I can't find any help for this but how do you find out what degree a sim has?
I want to make a robot army and find out the secret on jefree stars new makeup palate
My sim didt get accepted for the disgustinge degrees and i then bulid up his skills too help him but i’m having trouble reapplying, can anyone help?
Im still confused my sim has finished university with the language and literature degree how to i use it . Do i just apply for a job in law and it will go up fast or is there a way i have to do it
