It would be that we can set ourselves how many classes you need to finish. I found that doing 12 I maxed out the skills needed and after I got out and started working there wasn't much left to build up other than money. I wish for some growth after University as well.If we could, in the options, set how many classes it could be tailored for everyones preferences.Personally I'd go for 6-8, alternatively perhaps being able to learn skills slower would also be a more fun aspect as I'm always playing on Long Lives and it's just not balanced for it.Anyways, that's probably my biggest (ikr, kinda small) "issue" (well done again, great pack).Anyone else have that one thing they really would like to change?

1) I would like the game to remind us or highlight the last day of class so we remember to turn in our homeworks and do our presentations on time. 2) Sometimes my Sim’s parents came to visit her at the dorm, but I didn’t even know they were there until I happened to pan the camera that way. There should be a notification when family stops by. It’d also be cool if you could “give them a campus tour.”3) They need to add a progress bar for term papers, studying, and presentation preparation. Otherwise it’s just a plumshoot guessing game when enough is enough. For homework, they provide a progress circle in the task queue. Sometimes my Sim completes the progress circle, but keeps homeworking away. If you’re not paying attention you won’t realize they are done. 4) Sims don’t leave for class autonomously on holidays. So you have to walk or bike them over there manually. I’ve heard some Simmers say the class schedule in the “Career” panel should operate like the holiday calendar. If you have Seasons, your classes show up in the Holiday calendar so just use that! I only use the “Career” panel to double-check the class requirements. It would be helpful if these two functions were merged in some way. 5) I cheated a Winterfest tree into the dorm for Winterfest. It was cute to decorate with the dormies. If we can’t get into Build/Buy without cheats, the game should ask us if we want to receive holiday items into our Sim inventory when it’s a holiday. 6) No offense but the NPC dormies are hideous. It took a mo to go through and CAS them all. 7) option to Lock the Fridge à la the lock computer option! I know I’m basically stealing the random food but I don’t want anyone coming to glom it out of my fridge either. I guess I could lock the door but I occasionally like the randos wandering in to say Hi. 8) an “introduce to...” it’d be cool to introduce visiting parents or hometown friends to our Uni pals!9) Keg Party needs “call to keg...” like a call to meal command. Otherwise it’s few and far between enjoying the....juice. 10) ok and single bed woohoo. Edit: add Graduation as an event on the Seasons calendar, please! ?

On the issue of sims maxing out skills, I don't see it as that bad.Sims are now freed up to do other things with their time.This is a perfect setup for a hobbies pack.This would give our sims something else to achieve and hobbies would be a good reliever for negative moods, instead of crying or hiding from the world in their beds.

We just need things tied to them.

Agreed @Wintermist_SWE! Just need more to do with the current hobbies; not necessarily more hobbies.

I wish we could get 2 more trait slots.One halfway through Uni and another upon graduation.

If I could ask for a change with Discover University

I would like all of the following:

Better integration with holidays so student sims can take a day off without a penalty and the class schedule just adds an extra day to account for the holiday.
Pausing students' progress whilst playing rotationally
Stoves in dorms
Extra trait slot for graduates
Term paper/presentation progress bar

Try graduating as a Servo ^^, you won't even get a picture of your servo then, it's a picture of some human. (probably just a bug though)
