Discover University experiment(s)

Since this time around sims don't gain anything related to their personalities, aspirations, or traits that is exclusive to sims that graduate from Uni and what they get are careers boosts and bonuses, I am curious to see how well off a sim is really after going to uni compared to one that didn't, in the same amount of time.

My plan is to create two identical sims and play them in the same household. One will attend uni (normal degree, not the distinguished), the other will start from the bottom of the career. Then I want to see if in the time that the sim went to uni the other one could achieve the career level that the university attendee will get when graduating and how relevant the degree really is.

I'll keep you posted!

Anyone has tried anything similar? Or other experiments regarding DU? I am curious!

    Thanks for doing this. It sounds very interesting.

    I was really disappointed that sims aren't rewarded any extra personality traits for attending University.
    I think it will make it part of my game play to cheat them through certain aspirations to get the bonus traits and the resulting satisfaction points.

    Most likely any aspirations that I don't plan on pursuing, but could use the reward trait.
    I could also use the satisfaction points to buy retraiting potions to evolve their personality.


    So how are you liking Discover University CK?

    Little update on the twins.
    They had their babies and like I always do I aged them up to toddlers straight away because babies are sueless in this game.

    Look how cute they are!

    Arno Seer is Carla's kid

    Alma Seer-Levine is Marla's kid

    Professionally speaking they are both now on level 8 and Carla is earning 183 per hour while Marla makes 135 simoleons.


    Now, why would you want to sue babies?!
