Thanks! She has no gardening or fishing skills. I didn't really think about those, maybe that's what did her in. Rip. I'm sending her back to try again (apparently I can't have her retake science so I'll send her for technology this time) so maybe I'll have her chat up with her professors too.
Again if not averse to using mods, I think you could reset her degree and have her try again. I'm also pretty sure that sims can major in the same thing twice, with improved grades being the goal the second time, but I've never had any of mine try that. Not sure if it's one of the mods that allows for that.
For Tech, the relevant skills are Logic and Handiness.
Yes, Uni is flawed in many ways. But do you think the real life versions work perfectly? One of the reasons I am able to approach these challenges with some extra patience and a sense of humor is that I spent most of the summer after my senior year/graduation myself working to convince the office of academic records at my own Uni that I actually fulfilled the requirements to graduate. They had to be kidding (I thought at first), I was just around three classes short of satisfying the requirements for two majors because I switched gears between practical applied mathematics (computing) and theoretical part way through and had credits coming out of my ears. Somehow we landed on I never took Freshman English (nonsense) and half of my transfer credits had gone missing, then to the part where they kept sending Advanced Placement voucher forms to where we lived when I was in high school and taking the AP tests. No one we knew had lived there for years by that time, who knows what happened to the forms.
When I was in grad school, I was once denied a full student ID card and other benefits because I was deemed a part time student by someone who didn't know what they were doing and didn't want to understand the difference between grad school course credits and undergrad.
Too much of a long story, sorry, but yes it does take some patience to work through bureaucracies like that IRL. So why not in the game? :)
