Even with aging off university takes too long. I can get mods to make the work go faster, but it still takes forever if you do 2 classes per term. So I might have to have my sims max out the relevant skills before I even join university, starting as a teen, so I just breeze through it with 4 classes per term instead, and see if it's more enjoyable. In just can't do 6 sim weeks of university, it's just too much while also trying to max out skills.

If you do this then your sims wont be able to show an improvement in their skill building while they're at university and they'll fail their course. I found this with the photography skill, my sim had maxed it out beforehand from a previous semester, and then kept failing the classes even though he did all the coursework. I think part of the marking system is to show an improvement in skills whilst you're doing the course.

This is incorrect. All of my Supersims who had all skills maxed before beginning uni breezed through with A+ Getting there on time, taking notes in class, doing home work and completing any term papers or presentations to a high standard are what matters.

Really? I had a sim maxed out in photography, went to all classes and did all homework and coursework, took notes in classes etc, but kept getting an F in each module that focussed on photography. He kept retaking the class and would get an A+ in everything, but always an F in photography. I assumed it must be because he was already maxed out?!
