Can I quit university?
I enrolled my sim in university, tried it and hate it. I don't want to do this anymore. Is there a way to quit university? Or alternatively - if I leave my sim in university and go play with another household, will my sim go to university and graduate on their own?
@whirliko You can make your sim the active sim, click on their phone, click on the 'work' (briefcase) icon, and choose "Withdraw from Term".
I haven't tried letting the sims autonomously finish a term. but with the amount of supervision and keeping them right on task to study, do homework, write term papers, and work on presentations, I have to say they would likely either fail the semester or do poorly if left to their own devices.
If I wanted to get some sims through in a rotational play I would try one of these:- Turn aging off for non-played sims (or all sims, played and non-played, preferably). I would then experiment to see if each household that you go to has not advanced while you were gone. I would assume not, but as I said, I haven't tested this specifically with DU.
For example, I play with aging off (all). Pregnancy is also time/stage passing sensitive. If I have a pregnant sim and go and play another household, when I return to a pregnant sim's household, nothing has advanced in the pregnancy. I assume it would work like this. Then if you like aging on, you could turn it back on after the sims are done with college. - Move all of the sims that you want to go to college into the same household and have them commute to school from off-campus. Don't have them as roommates/renters (as you don't control 'roommates' that are renting), have them in the household so you can control them all.
I just finished a household where I did this with two full-time students plus 2 part time students who were working full time. I lived with my finger on the pause button a lot, and crawled along through two graduations. It was a lot of work, but I got them through with "A"s and they hit their goals, and I was able to test how this works.
You will need to do a bunch of micromanaging, more so if you have multiple students in the household, but you could get several of them finished at the same time. The only time I went with them was for the graduation. Otherwise I had to stay in the home and send them to class on time and prepared. If I went with them likely all 'heck' would have broken loose in the home front... well, or homework and papers would not be getting done some of the time. 😉
