Other info: I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled university. I’ve done the DEP thing. Tried a vanilla game and put things back slowly – I suspect an installed worlds issue, but I’m not sure. I’ve cleared cache and even user preferences. I updated the drivers too. It seems like University only works on my newly created sims so far, but I need to try all my old families to state that as a fact.
Problem 1: I took an old sim that was created through a time machine. She is a descendent of EA’s Riverview Jones family. Her job is doing Sing-A-Grams. So, first the house glitched when the llama said he left a package in the family inventory right after loading. I checked and all I had was my family items and a blank icon that I couldn’t select. I sold everything, which worked to remove the icon, and tried to move out, but it said I needed the aptitude test he left in the inventory, so I reloaded.
Problem 2: After reloading, the llama worked correctly and left the bucket, so I did the test and took the goodies and tried moving to Uni. She left, I got the select a house screen and selected a dorm. All I get when this happens is the game taking away the interface like it usually does, but it never goes further. It never zooms in, it doesn’t let me exit, it never loads a new interface. It just takes off the building roof and lets me view it zoomed out to the map. I can move around the map, but do nothing else, so I just ctrl+alt+del. I tried several different houses with this sim but all I get is a stuck map view with no user interface.
Problem 3: So after that, I created a new family and moved a sim to uni. The game zoomed in and loaded correctly and I got to play through the semester. My sim moved home fine, which I thought was going to glitch, but she told me she picked up the bills when she got back, so I went to pay them and discovered another glitch. She has bills in her inventory and they are stuck like the world globes used to be stuck in an old Ambitions glitch.
