Once a Sim is done with Uni, can they go back and do a different major? I think that would be cool, but my guess is no...anyone else know?

One of the new lifetime wishes is called "major major" and you need to get 3 degrees to complete it.

It has been revealed that you can go back as many times as you want.As many times as you want, up until you have all 6 majors. You won't be able to go back to uni when you've got all 6.Yes you will. Argus Hulin said so.When your Sim completes all of the majors, I don't think you can go back to University to get more. There's no need to argue about it when two other people besides myself have repeated the same answer.Actually she is correct. I thought the same as you however it was revealed that you can go back to get the same degree multiple times if you wish. Where was this revealed? Do you have a link?

Unfortunately, she didn't confirm that you could re-enrolled in university after you have received all the degrees nor that you can reattempt to complete the same degree. As you stated, SimGuruBritt advised that if you like having your degree, you could re-enrolled in University to have another or all six if you choose to do so.she stated if it was your favorite you could re-enroll for all the degrees you want and you can get all six if choose to. Why would she state the favorite part if that wasn't the case. ;) that is not the same thing as saying you can earn the same degree over and over. And didn't somebody who actually looked at the code that came in the patch say that university travel was coded against sims who have earned all degrees?

It was Zerbu who looked at the code. he talked about it in his first post http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/648030.page

Yes they can. They can go to uni as much as they want and get every major if you wish.

I'm wondering if this will be a new LTW (complete all majors) I might do that with a test sim just to get a feel for it all. Hopefully I don't Uni myself to death :lol:

I might do a Sim who is a "professional student" -- never gets a job, just spends all their time reading and going to school and partying. Maybe have him/her take just the minimum amount of units a term so it takes a long time to get done. Either have a spouse that supports him/her or still live at home with parents, or could be single and earn money collecting or painting or something. Maybe just work part-time when they're not in University, then quit that job and go back for another round of classes. Would be an interesting story idea...

As many times as you want, up until you have all 6 majors. You won't be able to go back to uni when you've got all 6.

I was hoping that if a Sim goes back to Uni there would be Master and PhD level program for those who keep returning. Kind of unrealistic to get degrees in fields that have nothing to do with one another. It can happen but its more realistic and common that a person studies related degrees (in my Sim world).

I would have liked postgraduate courses too. Oh well, when I do my simself I will have to send her on one major for the equivalent of 3 years and then a different one for the equivalent of one year (if possible) then I can pretend she's doing an MA after her BA. :)
