@crinrict Perhaps there is a bug with in-game events occurring during a transition to travel or to manage worlds. Just a few minutes ago, I had one sim traveling home just as another sim in the household returned home with a promotion. The notification popped up in the worlds view; "Traveling with...". Fortunately, this sim is further along in his career track so there wouldn't have been any prompt for action. These in-game notifications haven't been an issue before since I've only noticed things like mail being delivered.
I get what you're saying that the lack of an option to change branches isn't a bug. However, I stand by what I said before. Going back to uni just to change branches is less than ideal. I guess I'll just have to hope the developers change their minds and give us an option to change at any time.
You're right about the demote cheat. I went into an older save and tested it on two different sims. In both cases, demote caused the sims to be fired (which by the way gave them both a 24 hour Sad +3 moodlet). When I had them find a job again, the only available option for their careers was the level they had before they were fired.
Thanks again! I really do appreciate your help.
