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

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.

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.

I think rather, it would've made sense if the GTW careers would've been the ones in DU. Requiring a degree and then being active. And instead of GTW, have a pack specifically focused on various types of retail/businesses.

Alas, I do think that they're trying to not lock any careers behind any sort of walls to allow for freedom of choice for players who might not want to do the studying part with their Sims.

I've just decided that none of my sims can be a doctor, scientist, etc. unless they get a degree first.

Dont know much about programming but would it be so hard to have the option like:

IF you have Discover University beeing a Doctor would be unlocked. You still can be a nurse but going further would not be possible.
IF you dont have DU it will work as usual.
This would be a pack crossover that i would like see mentioned and implied.

There are litteraly modders who can unlock certain interactions already, and i wouldnt be suprised if there will be a mod like mentioned above. This low expactions and unrealistic stuff that we have to set in are annoying. Afterall this cost 50Bucks in my country.

2h Livestream and we didnt got to see the rewards after you got a degree, just a simple ''job boost'' answer. I like that robotic isnt just tight to Uni Life and doesnt feel awkward to do in your regular gameplay, when you have a degree, but what it the motivation to go to uni? Left wondering too!

@xamira99 Can you only unlock the robotic stuff when you attend uni though? Hopefully not because it screams niche.

They could have added a setting where the player decides which career require a degree when you buy university. It's not that hard to figure this plum out.

Me too :)

I'm also just going to require university for doctors and scientists from that point on. I would actually like it if they had added a medical school option.

What's the point of going to Uni?

The fun of going to Uni - the proper education - not just winging it. It's a preparation time; learning as designed - again not winging it and learning on the fly. If no school was important why go to school ever - just wing it. Not something I would ever do. I don't want professionals I hired to have less education than I have other wise what is my point giving them my money?

On PC/Macs, it wouldn't be hard. But the game is also on consoles and the fact that they still haven't figured out how to make MFPS work on those tells me that there it's a good bit more complicated to make that kind of cross-pack compatibility.

You can make those requirements for yourself in a pack and just not have a Sim get the kinda job that you feel requires a university degree, while the Simmers who don't want to play that way can have Sims in those jobs without going to Uni.

You need to go to college to become a Nurse - just like doctors do though. At least get a little more realistic about it.

And as I said, players can make that decision while playing their game. No one is making their Sims take jobs that they feel those SIms aren't qualified for. The players who don't care for those restrictions keep their freedom to play as they want.

Thank you, I know that you need to go to college to become a nurse, no need for that link.
