Mixology and uni?

I'm really confused because my sim earned a certificate in mixology & I have no idea how. She simply came back from uni one day with it in her inventory. She was studying biology with a vet elective. Has no mixology skill, nor did I send her to any mixology classes.

Did she get the mixologist certification trait as well? According to the game files you need to take 11 skill classes in mixology (as there's no other way).

No, but I assumed that was a hidden trait. I don't know if there's a way to check those.

The only skill classes she took were for veterinary. I wonder if there's a certificate for that, and if that's what she was supposed to receive?

Oh, wait. I just realized that's probably what you meant; she must have the trait since it appears under her degree panel. Yup. She has the actual certificate and the hidden trait. No mixology classes or skills. I do still have a few mods so it's possibly mod-related.

I'm sure. She didn't live on campus, she lives at home and commutes to school (so it's all rabbithole.) She left, and returned with the certificate. So it's a bug, I guess. Sounds like you're saying that sims will get a mixology certificate no matter what classes they take... Darn. Oh well. I'll probably report it once I test further without mods. Unless somebody else beats me to it.

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.

I actually got it randomly one day as well. After taking a few elective classes and then charisma class and it just appeared...

I had my high school Sim take some vacation day and do some Singing skill classes. Right before she reached level 10, she got the mixology certification. Maybe it's a bug?
