This was apparently "fixed" but is actually still incorrectly working.
To test, I gave 4 sims all 4 regular psychology and communications degrees (one from each university, without honors).
Issue #1: All 4 sims could only start the career at Level 1, instead of getting the usual degree career boost being able to skip to later levels in the career track corresponding to their degree.
Issue #2: CommunicationsDegreeBS (regular, from Foxbury) gives higher bonus than CommuncationsDegreeBA (Distinguished, from Britechester)

Could you please post in the bug section? It’s not feedback, it’s clearly bug.
crinrict I hope it’s fine to ask - could you move this thread to the bug section? Thanks!
I did post my comments as a bug report, it got moved to this thread. I agree, a regular Communications Degree should NOT earn higher pay than a Distinguished Communications Degree and they've clearly been mixed up in the code.
I wondered if the "feedback" aspect was to do with the career level starting boost being a bit more complicated, as most other careers split off at Level 4-6, but this one doesn't branch off to matchmaker/relationship counselor until L8.
The only other career I've seen do that is the Park Worker career in Adventure Awaits, so I tested how degrees work there to compare. Unfortunately both careers are inconsistent!
- When I gave the sim a Distinguished Degree in Psychology with Honors, that sim was able to start at L8 in the ParkCounselor track.
- This is consistent with other careers.
- BUT when I gave another sim a regular Degree in Psychology (no honors) that sim was ALSO able to start at L8 in the ParkCounselor track. Not consistent with other careers, which would start at L6.
- My sim with a Distinguished Degree in Biology with Honors was only able to start at L6 Park Worker, before the career branches off to Ranger/Counselor.
- A higher career jump than the degrees currently give Romance Consultants, but it should be L8 like in all other careers (and is inconsistent with the other track!)
- Sims with a regular Degree in Biology (no honors) ALSO started L6. I would expect sims with a regular degree to start here. Distinguished + honors should be 2 levels ahead of a regular degree.
I'll make a report for the Park Worker career issue and wait & see what the community managers would prefer for this thread.

Hello. I didn’t know that… What is CM?
