My sim gets promoted in the same time as finishing their degree.

Career jump for YA, better salary scale, unlock skills, perks?

I'm planning to send my Scientist vampire (who is on top of her career) to the Uni, so that she can unlock the robotic skill. I'm planning to create & clone the servos and starts the Sims world domination. >:)

I guess, this is similar to the RL situation. Some went to the Uni and some not. Why don't we let the Sims to have an option, to enrol or not enrol.

One thing they absolutely should have brought back from The Sims 2 is careers that require University qualifications.

There's no real word yet on what specific rewards will be after graduating, just know that at least getting ahead in careers is one of them (though you could do that already in many other ways outside of Uni).

I also felt like that leaving the new careers open for everyone just means you can completely disregard going to Uni for them anyway (assuming the rewards aren't that interesting), because careers as they are require minimal effort to excel up higher levels, with but a few exceptions. I understand that locking them to having Uni degrees only may not be something everyone would like, but isn't the point of the pack to play through university and work to unlocking such rewards?

Ironically, the careers that least needed a degree: Art, Show Business and the Paranormal.

It's a real shame that the medical career isn't tied to university because of them all, it's the one that most requires it.

Planning to send my vampire sim to uni to get all dem degrees, I want him to be a scholar.

This is what I am most disappointed about. With a potential sign-on bonus, high level entry, increased work performance and additional vacation days - none of which I felt I was lacking - I don’t see the point of going to university. I would have liked to see an additional trait earned and restrictions on careers that make sense, nobody is asking for full-on medical school lasting twice as long. But I don’t know anyone who would see a doctor who had no degree (could they even get licensed?) I don’t care if that’s regressive as we’ve been able to before- maybe they should have released the uni pack first to avoid that. Instead we waited 5 years for something underwhelming.

Imagine if a career in GTW was locked for anyone who didn't also own University. And if suddenly anyone who owns GTW got one of the careers locked because they don't also own Uni.

It was never going to happen with existing careers.

They barely said anything about the boosts and rewards so I‘m guessing they‘re pretty lame.

This is what I want to see:
- Make some careers require a degree.
- Add new levels to existing careers and make them require a degree.
- Give our sims a new trait slot. Make them arrogant and only interact and date other university graduates. Make them annoying know-it-alls. Make them helpful and give free private lessons to poorer sims.
- Give our sims extra vacation days.

This is what I don‘t care about:
- Higher salaries. It‘s so easy to make money in the game. I sent my sim to BB to fish for a couple of hours and she got two gold bars (worth 6k each). I actually cheat and lower my household fund and pretend that it‘s taxes. She‘s supposed to be poor, c‘mon.

It’s way to easy to get money. I think they need to up the cost to get into university. It was only 750 to pay for the classes that term. The problem is there is no reason to make money in the game unless you want to own a retail shop. Sadly much wasn’t explained in the live stream. We can only hope they added anything you mentioned.

I know, I would never expect them to place restrictions upon an existing career, but it's still a shame they didn't have the packs come out the other way round.
