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

I have a relatively new save with a bunch of sims that started off as adults with no pre-existing skills. I have played some of these for 16 days each and just popped in to see where they are in their careers.

6 out of 8 I am comparing have reached level 5 in their careers in Culinary, Astronaut, Business, Athletic, Musician, and Arts Critic. I haven’t exactly been grinding these to the bone since lately I’ve been more inclined to make them do social things in groups or when invited out.

If they can get that far in a full term less time than it would take to go through university, I don’t see much point in going unless it’s for a Distinguished Degree where they would theoretically start at a higher level.

Although, if you enjoy having your sims career hop, I can see the benefit. I tend to pick a career that helps define their personality so it’s rare that I change that.

Earning more money or vacation days doesn’t appeal to me because I have an excess of these things anyway. Hopefully there’s more of a benefit to it than all this.

Good thoughts, and that's exactly what I figured concerning post-Uni rewards; is it really all worth it when you can easily rise up the ranks already as is without the rewards in the basegame and other packs that would already let you start early high up on the career ladder? But after Uni, the purpose of the pack has been achieved and it's back to normal Sim play. Sure simulating life in Uni was always going to be temporary, but there should've been more substantial rewards then what you'll just get career-wise. Yes I'm sure they're quite helpful, but not anything deeply life-changing like say, extra trait slots.
