A Discover University Did You Know Thread

My Sim didn't qualify for the Distinguished Degree from Foxbury, so she took the regular major's classes at UBrite until she built her skill up enough. So you can build skills with classes for your major + electives to then qualify for a Distinguished Degree at the other University!

I dont know if this has been answered, but will unplayed housed sims enroll in university on their own? And are unplayed housed sims able to become NPC roommates?

What skill level do you need to qualify for distinguished degrees?

When using the ICYA chest outside of University it comes in nice neutral colours and you can place a Tv on it! (which is great because I love having a chest but i'm often short on space fer one, lol).

Also, I'm not sure if this is a feauture or a bug but when you graduate while being in the "Secret Society" (I forget what it's called; I only figured out how to join on the very last day, lol :sweat_smile: ) you continue to get visited by sprites.

If you use the tab camera mode in Foxbury and go under the map you can find some unused objects.

I can't tell you for SURE, but I believe it was about level 4-5 for whatever related skills apply to the particular distinguished degree. For my particular case, my Sim was taking Economics classes at UBrite - she raised her Charisma, Logic, and Research/Debate skills during two or three semesters. Once those skills got to about levels 4 or 5 and the end of the semester occurred, my Sim was prompted to sign up for new classes. In that pop up window, I changed the University to Foxbury, and chose Economics and the Distinguished Degree was available for her :)

It didn't, actually! Funnily, my husband sim died by electrocution and the same Grim Reaper that lived in my house floated upstairs and reaped him. Then he went back downstairs and listened to music. (Don't worry, my sim was a virtuoso Spellcaster, so it was nothing to bring him back)

Upon my sim being in e-sports and her team winning games she had came back with some power sipping posters, gaming chair and power sipping drinks.

Power sipping Classic and Power sipping INFERNO
Both increase the odds at your sim winning video game tournaments. The latter having a bit more of an effect.

Drinking these back to back your sim will get a dazed moodlet called 'Power Dipping?'

I've read that with a degree your sim starts at level 7 in a career. My sim graduated yesterday, not a distinguished degree but with a GPA A. He started as a Judge level 8 :o I wanted to see if studying distinguished or not has an impact on the level you start on. But probably not?

Also, in his last term my sim started dating Lilith Pleasant and as he graduated she graduated, too.

That's because there's no level 6-7 Judge/PA career (and selecting base branch just ignores your degree). In other careers where this is possible you'd start at level 6 (normal degree) or 7 (distinguished OR honors) while for level 8 you need a distinghuished degree with honors.
