Mixology and uni?

Hm, is there anything like a university degree for mixologists in real life? I know there exist skilled bartenders, but many working in bars have a minimum of education. I'd consider that career to be a little less academic than the general Uni stuff, but what would I know...

PS: just noticed that Stylists are benefiting from Uni, so I guess Mixologists should, too.

I mean, yeah agree it’s not a typically career that would require a degree but there’s a degree for Villainy so not exactly going for realism here. I just think it’s odd that some sort of science degree couldn’t go towards that since in real life making drinks can be quiet scientific. There’s all kinds of fancy shmancy bars that have really interesting mixed drinks that use a lot of chemistry knowledge so I just found it odd that there’s not something to boost that career.

They probably overlooked it and will fix it in a patch. I'm pretty sure they intended to cover all careers.

My old college got a beer brewing degree, does that count? ?

There doesn’t seem to be a major for a Professional Athlete, either. Biology is there for Bodybuilders but I don’t see the other Athletic career branch on Carl’s guide.

Ohh... now that is really disappointing. I often do professional athletes but have never done a bodybuilder. Would love to send my athletes to Uni as well :/

I mainly play female sims and like to imagine that they are playing a fun sport but I just haven’t played a female bodybuilder. Hope we will get something for team sport-players as well.

I read somewhere that afterschool soccer activity will help with Athlete career, and e-sports will help with gaming one.

Yep. Soccer Team gives level 6, 7, or 8 on the Athletic career, and Esports Team gives level 7 or 8 in the Esports career. I agree that I couldn't think of a uni major that felt like a Mixology fit. But it could be a career followed while attending part-time, maybe. Or build the skill a lot.

I was looking over the Carl’s sims guide and didn’t notice anything giving benefits for the mixology career. I think that’s odd...I remember reading the gurus accounted for all careers...surely there’s some degree that would work towards the mixology career.

There's a Mixology elective class, but that's it. You could combine with Culinary Arts to get the Cooking level, but it would only give you a boost in the Chef branch. Mixology would still be entry level.

It's also an evening job (like Chef and Criminal at most levels) so is a good one to work while in Uni.

I just tested it and my sim started from 0 mixology skill and got about up to level 5 solely through spamming the "take mixology class" phone interaction on the home lot about 6ish times. I don't know if the exact number of times you take the class to get the "degree" changes depending on if you have mixology skill already but at least I can confirm they DID provide a way to get a boost in the mixology career. I'll test a bit more to find out specifics.
