University Takes Too Long!

Turn off aging while you're at university. It's the best solution. Or at the very least, make it a long life span.

Not to mention, it gets really boring and repetitive after a while... Still haven't been able to complete it with a sim of mine because I get so bored of it cos it takes so long :''D Now my main family's mother is almost there...

I think it is designed so that you are expected to start uni when you are YA. I don't think it is worth it though because it is so easy to get promotions anyway. But I do like that they learn a lot of skills when they are studying at the university.

I agree they made it a bit too long but it's a heck of a lot longer due to bugs or issues with gameplay in that it may not even save your progress between gameplay. At least, that happened to me as a few of my Sims (ones already at uni) for some reason kept losing their progress and/or kept stating that they only two more classes then, four more. What??!! They also suspended two of my pre-made Sims for no reason since they had A's and B's, they were forced to move out with no money and they couldn't enroll for about a week in real time, not game time!! NOW THAT IS WAY TOO LONG. Don't know if they will shorten the terms, but they can at least fix the bugs or problematic issues with saving game progress and suspension issues. I hope.

Fair comment. But that would be cheating since I'm doing a legacy challenge lol. You have to do it on normal lifespan too.

I'm playing a legacy on Normal lifespan, and I turned aging off. Maybe it's cheating, but the alternative is to cheat your Sims out of their youth. This way it doesn't hurt anyone.

Has Pinstar updated the Legacy challenge rules to deal with Discover University yet? In the Sims 2 and 3 aging was basically frozen for all concerned so I would expect some allowance in the the Sims 4 version of the challence that sims are aging at Uni unlike previous versions.

If he hasn't accounted for that difference remember the rules allow you to use one potion of youth per sim although that won't help the OP as she allowed the sims to age to elder.

Thank you, I didn't know he allowed it for University in 2 and 3. I'm guessing it is the same for 4 then. I will do this is the future. :)

I found this on PinStar's website regarding the Legacy Challenge and new packs if anyone else needs to know.

"NOTE: This challenge will not be updated past Seasons (unless something groundbreaking is released) as we feel that the rules are already incredibly long and are getting difficult to maintain both for us and the people that play the challenge. Any expansions, game packs, and stuff packs that are released after Seasons can be used in the challenges and you can play them as you see fit."
