I've been playing Discover University both at University of Britechester and at Foxbury...I notice my Sims are ALWAYS late at Foxbury and are having issues doing well in classes because of it and I had no issues at Britechester.I'm watching them run between classes and notice that while they do RUN to classes to get there on time, Sims are not able to run up/down stairs, only walk. Britechester is pretty flat while Foxbury has so many stairs...it's making my Sims super late to class. Is there any solution to this?I do want to play at Foxbury but this just seems like a huge design oversight.

If you are not opposed to mods, someone created a mod that has a short time limit, but what it does is cause the sim to get to class on time.https://littlemssam.tumblr.com/post/175412396783/random-small-mods-sometimes-mods-are-sooo-smallGo down to where it says Discover University DLC for more information.

Or your sim can develop Wellness skill and teleport. It still takes around 15 sim minutes to do it with all animations, but it's better than just walking.

I use the “go here” about 2 hours before the class starts, and send them to their class building (or the statue in the middle if I’m not sure which building). So far it works to get them to class on time.. the timing might need to be adjusted depending on where they live. Just watch that they don’t try to run off to “chat” or something, I usually have them study their text book to avoid that while waiting.

I just made a borg sim with a flying jet pack on her back & feet so she can avoid stairs.

My sims leave for class autonomously an hour early, I've never had an issue with them being late. Even at Foxbury.

Stairs in Foxbury Making Sims Late?

I decided to create a new dorm at the site of the Foxbury commons, and had a ball making that yesterday. It’s seriously so much closer to the classroom buildings. Can’t wait to playtest it.
First I am going to make a new commons lot in one of the highrise dorm locations. They can just “travel” there in no time, after all.

The design of Foxbury really makes me question if the developers bothered with checking the bicycle routes for the sims. The stairs make the bicycles pretty much useless.

Ok this might be why I don’t have an issue with my sims being late to class. I stopped using the bikes because the animation to get on and off was taking so long my sims were late. This was even worse in Foxbury when they had to get off and on more than once to take the stairs. I don’t understand why they didn’t make a bike ramp right next to the stairs to avoid this issue.

Srrrssslyyy it takes EONS. The only bug in this game I’ve experienced so far is if you’re not hawkeyeing your Sim, they’ll cancel the “Go to Class” from their queue at the bottom of one of the staircases. So then they’re even more late!
