Seasons Holidays are not integrated w/ Discover University

Which means that your term would last way longer than a week if university accounted for holidays. Or maybe classes are optional on holidays and you can do make up work if you don't go.

I do agree that classes are hard to implement with holidays, but I'm finding that my uni soccer player also doesn't get holidays off of practice, that seems like an easy implementation

Well, EA is infamous for their crunch, so probably not :lol:

This really needs to be fixed.
DU is not only incompatible with holidays, it's incompatible with rotational play. Jump into another household? Your previous Sim won't go to class and will end up on probation.

This "terms are one week, no exceptions" rule really needs to be changed.

I am so sad about it. I was hoping my sim would have the day off to work on her term paper, but alas.

I'm SUPER late to the game, because I just got the DU pack a little while ago, but I'm finding this to be a problem, too! My sim has been working her butt off to do well in her classes, and now it's Harvestfest, which would be fine, except she hasn't made any friends with her dormmates, and is really close with her family. I want her to go home for the day to have dinner with them, but there's no way she can do that without hurting her grades.

Maybe they could add an option in the Holiday panel for if you want the holiday to be a Uni Day Off. There’s some holidays where I don’t really need Uni students to have off, but is fun if I’m playing other households with kids and such.

Its a bit weird because i'm having Thanksgiving in my game right now, my sim has classes but one passed and he didn't get the signal to go, nor did it count him "late".

This is the thing I like least about DU. I think it's a good pack but the lack of integration with holidays is a real shame.

Or, there is now an enormous amount of code for this game now and this got overlooked and should be brought to the devs attention and it can be fixed. ??‍♀️

One would think they’d have some kind of plan when they start creating a pack. Implementing holidays in a school pack doesn’t seem far-fetched to me. If the enormous amount of code in the game is becoming an overwhelming problem, that would mean it is time for a successor.
