University is driving me crazy!
It feels like I’m in the actual game attending university and it’s so frustrating! My sim only gets to bed at 4, she’s barely eating because she has to rush to do her work, and she’s barely meeting an...

While I enjoy University it drags on too long for me. I know how to have my sims can graduate with A or A+ GPAs, but it's a slog. So in the past I've used a mod that reduces the number of credits. It works very well.
However, for my latest sim I decided the mod was too cheaty, and she was going to have to slave through the 12 credits, living at home. But this time, I tried something different. I'd make sure she did the presentation, wrote the term paper, both of excellent quality. She'd go to all the classes and exams, but I would never, ever direct her to do the regular coursework.
I hoped with this laid back approach, she'd be able to have fun and hopefully scrape through with a C average. Occasionally she would autonomously start working on her homework, but would never complete it on her own.
It didn't end well. She finished the term with something like a B, C-, D, and an F, and was put on probation. Because she failed a class, she now needed 9 more units, and therefore couldn't complete her degree by the end of the Young Adult stage. Ugh! I have no choice now, but to have her drop out >:)
