Do your Scientist Sims go to University?
Do your ‘professional’ and technician Sims need to get a degree in order to have a career in your games? Specifically do your Scientist Sims require a qualification, in your virtual world?

The narrative dictates wether my young aspiring scientists need to sign up for Uni or not. Let’s just say that 90% of the time I’m a degree cheater. I definitely want the degree but I certainly don’t want to do the work.
As for the remaining 10%…there really has to be a valid reason for my students to physically attend college (I don’t find these classes to be very exciting, professor ) but when they DO, my sims always end up joining a secret society (one that’s a little grittier than what the game offers…) and all goes haywire and supernatural in the end, just like in real life.
The students that DO go to college either study robotics or archaeology and I sometimes (always) play as the (extremely handsome) ? professor who’s to bring our ambitious little studious group on a field trip to Selvadorada in search of THE Very Mysterious But Dangerous Artifact... { the secret society very much requires, or else…}.
Some of the students come back home - deadly cursed- others, unfortunately, never return…
Without a doubt our incredibly competent intellectual locates the artifact, manages to rescue himself from all this other pooh - pooh drama and returns to campus, unscathed, as handsome as ever and just in time for the sequel - in which he sets out on yet another trip to The Jungle, this time to track down THE Mysteriously Disappeared Students.
As the man and professor who got these poor kids into this very mess in the first place he feels extremely responsible for their well-being (in truth he just hopes to return and hook up with the Omiscan ”goddess” whom he fell in love with the last time he visited the Omiscan Royal Baths).
This particular sequel always ends on a cliff hanger: after a long and perilous journey our man eventually finds both his “goddess” and his students in Cantina El Arbol del Jaguar, completely fine and unharmed - BUT, as fate would have it- loses consciousness after ingesting too many suspicious looking Omiscan “delicacies” before he wakes up in a temple - with no shoes on and a wee drop of blood on his pinky toe - whilst being surrounded by a crowd of thirsty looking Vampires…
In short: I’ve learned from my own gameplay that a university degree looks pretty on the wall, but a machete is more useful.
