Sim apparently graduated university but I didn’t send them

Do you play with mods? And I’m curious, did she get an extra trait as well?

I am curious too!

I have played with townies in new savegames that already had a university diploma, adults as well as younger sims. I usually have Story Progression on (unmodded game) but have not at those moments checked for any explanation. They had 5 trait slots and the diploma seemed random: not intuitively matched to their traits/skills. Lots of townies/NPC's have diplomas when asked about 'alumnus' 'major' as social interaction. I have no idea why it happens, it would be nice to know, I mean more specifically; it does seem like one of those random features in the game. (Having UL).

Others experiencing it:

Previous active, then inactive child 'getting' diploma:

Edit: I have a problem with apostrophe's.
Edit 2: wrong word..

This has happened to me before when I played a household and then changed households, then came back to original household. Feels really weird!

I have some CC from the Sims 3 Store but no other mods. She doesn't even have an extra trait!
When I went to her son's household, he'd been given the exact same degree with the exact same grade. I guess it just happens sometimes *shrug*

Not a bug or function of a mod. This is normal functionality of EA’s story progression.

Thanks for the explanation. University is still a relatively new expansion pack for me and so I hadn't come across it before.

Just checking, but are you aware this is a TS3 thread? Sims should always be able to register for classes (in a different major if necessary), but TS4 is of course a very different game.

Thanks just did a search for the topic. Going to Sims 4
