- I use them for life skills mostly, but sometimes just to further their career.
- Mostly for maxing the required Skill for the career I've got in mind for my Sim at a given moment, but I also use it for other skills that may come in handy later in life.
- I havent played University too much yet, but I d like to use electives as hobbies and possibly making a little extra cash during school year. My sims are taking realism painting, and guitar.
- Depends on the sim. One sim has a superparent aspiration but his family was just starting so he wanted to take a parenting elective. Another sim has a bowling hobby so that's what she took.
- So far I've only had two Sims take an elective class; I just wanted to try it out. But I think I'll probably end up sticking to the main courses. It's easy enough to build skills in their freetime, so I'd rather their classes be focused on the skills for their degree.
But who knows? The right storyline may come along and change that. Like my first Sim that I enrolled, I was going to have him do an elective class for the writing skill, since he's going to be a businessman with a passion for writing. But unfortunately, it wasn't available. Instead I just had him practice writing and work on a couple of books which worked just as well. - It's on a case-by-case basis. I've only played two sims so far, but to the extent that they have taken electives, it has been to build out other interests or to further support their career.
- Currently I allow my sims to take only 1 elective class out of the 12 classes and it is usually something my sim is interested outside of their uni course. So it’s more like a fun hobby course for them.
