What are your university pet peevs

Distinguished degree, raised a teen all thru school to get all A's, made sure she finished out the bar at A as well, then she got all A+ grades in uni (after being accepted into the distinguished program bc she had all her skills) and ended with a GPA of A+ only to still get only with honors and starting out at level 4 career.....took so much time to make sure she left the whole world alone to study and do her work and get good grades and all thru school to uni and still no distinguished degree.....

Npc sims who go the uni don’t properly graduate and can’t re enroll into uni for another degree or get any perks from their first degree. I hope this gets fixed soon. This happened to my sim’s boyfriend

Yeah, if you want to play the pre-made households or other NPC sims the best thing to do is probably to favorite them and then not enroll them for a second term so you can play them later. That's what I am doing right now.

Mine are the lack of integration with holidays and the difficulty with rotational play. I do still love the pack though. The stove situation is annoying too but I got the mod for it. :)

Secret Society game play.
Basically recycling Island Living game play of serving island ghosts to gain their favor.
Only now it is bizarrely sprites. Not the stuff of college secret societies I think.
I do like the mechanic of ranking up in the organization though.

I tried it out, but I won't be using it.
It's just making your sim a slave to sprites.
I will use Get Together Clubs to create my own secret societies.

The Builderchild Society and their headquarters will be relocating from the Sims 3 to The Sims 4.
Only better this time using Get Together. I think I will have three chapters. One for Young Adults, one for Adults, and one for Elders. Sims will move to the other chapters as they age. They will all meet at their headquarters.

I honestly not feeling a university vibe in this pack like I had in the sims 3. And also the town is rather empty, like where are the students? Especially the middle neighborhood.

That's a good question because the game is generating a lot to haunt my dorm.
Why aren't all these sims strolling around the campus. My favorite dormie roommates moved out and new ones replaced them.
It would be nice to see them around the campus more often. I created a movie night club so I can call them over all at once.

The most irritating thing was having my sim join a household with a total random - and getting notifications like "random levelled up in robotics". I really don't care. I have absolutely no interest in this person.

The stove thing in student housing. Was this due to randoms setting the thing on fire? It's irritating and is odd when the dorm ends up with plates and plates of fancy food being cooked somewhere. No-one uses the fridge and microwave as the place is piled high with montecristo sandwiches etc.

They are always late for classes.

It's still American not English. I was hoping for better. i hope we can mod away the worst bits.

The Castle being decorative and you can't even visit it :(

I wonder if the food thing is different from game to game, maybe depending on the personality of those random NPCs? In my dorm, where I play 5 active students, there were turkeys and pink cakes for the first few days, but now it stopped. The NPCs still might bring a few plates, but more like the small biscuit cakes and other simple stuff. My students actually go hungry for hours, and only one room has a mini fridge, and yesterday I had to unlock their door so that all the others could help themselves instead of starving. I don't see a point in getting them all a fridge, besides it seems to be possible to place the one I got in the common area.

My students are rarely late for class either, in fact I think they leave too early. I do keep track on them, and occasionally they get stuck in front of the class door, but they normally get thee in time by themselves. This is in Ubrite, I guess Foxbury might be another story...

And I took it for granted the castle would be unlocked if joining a certain organisation? I never tried though, yet, so I have no idea.

My sims have only lived off-campus so far so I have not tried the dorm-life yet but I find Foxbury commons to be such a lonely place. This huge building with maybe 2-3 sims in it other than mine. I use MCCC to get more sims into every lot so I am used to having activity around my sims. I am going to rebuild that lot to something much smaller, with a little garden outside, so that it feels more fitting for 4 sims being there in total.

Auto graduating. The enrolled households that I don't play with, automatically graduate. That was a let down to me. I wish I could turn that off in the settings. Just like you can turn off the auto aging for everyone in the neighborhoods. I wanted to send multiple sims to university at the same time. But when I was finally finished with sending everyone. It turned out some were already on probation for failing the first semester. I hadn't even played with them yet at university.
