Re: [LS] Romance Consultant: Degree not helping

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.

Soanad​ if you need administrative help, please talk to a CM. You know I don't work for EA.

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