So I'm playing my first time in university and I noticed that my sim still has to go to class on the holidays but she doesn't go to classes automatically like she does on other days. Do I have to make her go to class or is she allowed to miss it for the day? I'm really not impressed with this expansion at all if they have to go classes on the holidays. Sending my sims to classes during Winterfest and other holidays just doesn't make sense. If it's a design choice then I think it might just be enough of a choice to make me not want to play this expansion at all.

I just had a sim in University, and yes they have to attend classes, otherwise, it will hurt their grade.

I think this is something they will need to fix in a patch. For the major holidays, I will probably avoid re-enrolling a sim during that week, sort of like how real universities have breaks.I have a sim whose graduation day is scheduled for Spooky Day but I'll just go ahead with that one.

I'm really not a fan of this. It feels wrong to have my sim go classes on holidays such as Easter. I may just have to reschedule some holidays so they fall on weekends instead. It seems unfair that my students have to get the sad buff from the holidays that they can't take part in.

I just edit the holidays with things they can do at uni and for Winterfest - I put the tree they can decorate and the presents at the commons. It works for me this way - they still go to class but can also celebrate the holidays.

With how short the semester is, I don't see how it would make sense to block holidays off. If you did, you could potentially have a term where you only went to one of your classes once. Versus simulating a winter break by not enrolling around those big holidays, which would play out a lot more realistically where most students go home for a long period of time.I understand why this is annoying for you, but rather than waste your money by not playing the EP I would recommend maybe utilizing a mod to save your grade so you may skip classes on those days.

Find the Commons and your Sim can have a Holiday Meal there.

She doesn't have to go if it's a holiday that has school/work off. That's why she's not being pushed to go to class. Careers work the same way.

On the day of the holiday, it'll show that your sim has the day off work until it's actually time to go. That's when the 'Go to class/work' button appears, because you have the option to send them anyway.
