University and rotational players...
Well...I really love that University is coming to town, so to speak but I was wondering how it would/will affect rotational players? For instance, do I have to play out the household until enrolled Si...

So I've done some testing on this and I've got good news.
Setup:
- Family of two (played household), one went off to college to a dorm.
Experiment:
- Switched back to the house at home after starting the semester, lef the student sim alone.
- Played through a three week period.
- Loaded back into the student sim.
Results:
- Classes and such get simulated up until the end of that semester/period
- Immediately upon loading, you're asked if you want to renew and continue
- Through that whole time, sim remains a college student as you'd expect from the perspective of other households.
This means as long as you play through the full semester and leave before the prompt for the next semester appears, you should be good to go. Just remember to leave aging off while you're doing college shenanigans. You could even create a whole student body of played households attending university until the end of time, forever stuck in their first semester.
