Thanks for providing the link. I remember it from another thread on the forum. 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

Possibly she could have been referring to earlier in the conversation when they were discussing choosing one major over the other (switching from Fine Arts to Business). Luckily, we will have clarification in nine days, if not sooner in the LB on March 1st. :)

Not from what she said. She stated if you really loved buisness degree after you have finished it you could renroll for as many degrees as you like.

This is from Zerbu's patch note code forum that lizbethbear posted the link for:

Sims cannot travel to the university world under the following conditions:

- The sim already has all degrees.

I stand corrected...once you complete all the degrees at University, you can't go back anymore.

Yes, you can go back and get all six degrees *if that's what you want to do*. But you can't repeat the same degree. If you've got a degree in Fine Arts, you can't enroll as a Fine Arts major. You have to enroll in another major. Thus, your Sim gets all six majors and is then through with college forever. It's up to the player to drag it out as long as they want to. Or to speed it up, or to not bother with it at all.

Jarsie I know you can back for multiple degrees. I got that from day one. However Brittany stated a specific major and said you can re-enroll for that degree. She said you can get as many degrees as you want and you could attempt to get them in all six it's crazy but each their own. The way she said it makes me question if it is possible to go back for the same degree. Especially if you listen to what she said and almost said. She started with "If Business really is your favorite degree after you finish it then you can definitely re-enroll." Then she mumbles this part, "Go as many times" then she *corrects* herself and says, "get as many degrees as you want. You can even get all six if you so choose to." She fumbled a bit which is where I am getting that you can go multiple times for the same degree so there is a good chance that it may be a secret they are keeping or she had a Derp Moment. However that fumble is all that was needed for others besides me to see why it would be considered confirmed. Plus no offense to Zerbu the game isn't released yet so him saying he read it in the code doesn't make it confirmed. Without having the actual real game downloaded on your computer you can't read it in it's entirety. The codes for each expansion packs are Unique to that Expansion pack which is why it needs to be downloaded and installed.

Code for the expansion pack is actually added to the patch for the expansion packs. But whatever clearly you want to hear things that were not actually said. He's not the only one who is reading the University code that was added in the 1.50 patch which is the patch for university. Others have read the code too, and found out all kinds of information about death chances with vending machines and murphy beds (which are apparently quite lethal) protests, which look to to be really cool, plantsims talking to plants, and plants implying plantsims moms are acorns, hidden juiced motives..etc etc. If you think that all EP code is only in the EP and not in the patches for the EPs then you are mistaken.

It wouldn't make sense to re-enroll for the same degree if you already have it. That would be like me already having my criminal justice degree and then reapplying for college to get it again.

(taking a deep breath so that I won't shout in the last thread I responded to you about this):

That is not what she said. What she said is this:

If your Sim signs up for a business major, then decides in the middle of the term that he really wants to be a fine arts major, he can either quit or finish the term. THEN he can enroll for the fine arts major. BUT if he decides that he wants that business major after all, THEN after he gets the fine arts degree, he can go back and sign up for the business major until he gets the degree in business. So yes, you can go to school as many times as you want, but ONLY until you get each of the majors. And that's no lie.

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

I have this lifetime wish. I did one major, went home and re-enrolled for a second major. But when I got to the University screen it wanted me to create a new sim.
