My Degree is Worth Diddly. HELP.

Deleting files and general cleanup, REPAIRING MULTIPLE TIMES seems to have fixed the issue I was experiencing where my sims wouldn't benefit from their degrees upon taking a job after graduation. Finally, one of my sims to start at level 7 as a professor. I haven't tested the issue with any other sims.

As for the research machine, the file cleaning, multiple repair process seems to have fixed this issue as well. The research machine is currently available in build/buy for purchase for the sim who unlocked it, as it should be. 

So relieved these things are working, now, at least for one sim. I'll test others later, but fingers crossed.

Now, people come to this same sims home and NEVER LEAVE... no way to ask them to leave. I'm losing my patience. They might all get hit with Strangeify, if they don't GET OUT. haha <insert a witchy wink here>

OMG, the bugs... >.< 

I'm still wondering why the initial clean/repair didn't work for me (before my original post) and why it took, in fact, MULTIPLE REPAIRS to correct those issues. /sigh Honesty, IDC, so long as it's working now.

If anyone is having issues with starting careers at a higher level, with a degree, after graduation (I feel for you), try doing what I did (clean files, repair, repair, repair.. ).  This might work for the unlockable availability issue as well. Good luck. 

AND thanks to everyone who attempted to assist me while I was raging with the original issues I was experiencing. 

Pardon any typos or grammatical errors, I'm in a hurry, and I can't be bothered to proof - read or edit. Happy translating!
