A Discover University Did You Know Thread

Love this thread! Cannot wait to discover some secrets of my own. :)

pro tip! when your sim first arrives at university, you do need to head to that local kiosk right away.

your sim won't be able to do any homework without buying a "university homework" book from that kiosk. you won't be able to access it through a regular bookcase, and it is not automatically provided.

after the homework book is bought, your sim can stick it in their inventory for all safe keeping. or use that ICYA chest!

this information is very likely available somewhere in the game, or something i missed when i was first accepted into the university... but, i was v confused on how to find my sim's university homework notebook - assuming it might show up in their inventory as the homework books for child school and high school homework do.

alas, they don't. so, i hope this is helpful to y'all! it wasn't obvious to me.

When your sim is going to class they carry their homework under their arm.

When a sim gets a scholarship they do a little victory dance.

When your sim eats too much quick meals, they get a moodlet that says something about not having a balanced diet. This moodlet disappears when your sim eats a healty meal.

My sim never bought any homework. It just appeared in her inventory. The only thing I had to purchase was a textbook and even that's not mandatory because you can pass without it. You probably had a glitch or mod conflict. I know that sometimes teens/kids have this problem with homework, so it could also be related to that.

A few scholarship items: first, my Sim applied for and received three scholarships but had a fourth, additional, “merit” scholarship awarded when she enrolled. Guessing this is automatically added because she was an A student rather than being applied for.

Second, she had options for both the athletic and esports scholarships; she applied for esports but then lost the option for the athletic one. She got the scholarship and when she went to Uni she was automatically added to the esports team. I presume she’d have been added to to the soccer team if she’d gotten the athletic scholarship since she can’t do both teams.

Lastly, she got a moodlet for getting a full ride which is awesome but also a little funny because her household could have afforded tuition easily. ?

Mine was already in her invontery when she accepted her place at college.

Caught in the act this time >:( DEFACING THE FOXBURY STATUE WITH KNITTING HOW DARE.

Yeah, they definitely come in the middle of the night to prank the statue from a rival school. Also, if you happen to be there and catch them in the act (or anyone else) the prank will pretty much fail and they get a embarrassed moodlet as well as the statue being spared. (this time)

I like that they actually show a knitting animation for this too as well.

Did you know that behind the commons building there is a couple of grills and picnic tables that you can use that don't require a loading screen between your dorm and them, it is part of the open world area.

I noticed on the weekends when there aren't classes your roomates will tend to just sleep in. It'a almost 11AM and two out of the three of my sims roomates are still sleeping. They're usually up between 5am and 7.

Your sim hurting for money, but just no time to have a job among all the homework and classes? If your sim happens to finish off a empty cup from a juice keg or just do a good simaritan in cleaning up the cups. You can sell them for 5 simoleons if you're hurting for cash. XD My sim was.

ALSO, if your sim is getting a free ride through scholarships come next term you'll certainly get that money, which is great as my sim only had 45 and upon signing up for more classes I got the money for merit.
