'Apply to University' Not Appearing

After the recent update (04 of June 2020) the option to 'Apply for University' does not show up on the computer, mailbox, or phone.

I am known to use mods, but even with them removed and deleting the Resource.cfg file, the option does not appear. I've encountered it with a CC computer and a base game computer.

If it helps, I had used the Computer Security Settings for only one Sim to use it but removed it upon encountering this issue.

Thank you!

@BlackjackWidow I'm so sorry, I thought I removed this post. Repairing the game fixed the issue already. Thank you so much for your help anyways!

Hi @BitterClover - Can you please test in a new save with a fresh game folder? First, exit The Sims 4 completely & then copy your entire TheSims4 folder to the desktop or somewhere else where you can easily find it (default location is C:\<YourWindowsUserName>\Documents\Electronic Arts). This is only a backup, you shouldn't need it for anything more.

Then, rename TheSims4 folder in Electronic Arts\Documents to TheSims4_Old.

Launch The Sims 4 from Origin and it will create a new TheSims4 folder with none of your old saves or mods/cc in it.

Start a New Game - you can skip the tutorial and just use a random sim for testing. Move them into a house and see if you still have the problem.

If the issue is gone, you can start copying your files back following the directions here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/READ-FIRST-Troubleshooting-your-Game/m-p/3621199#Resetting

If you still have the same issue, please let us know. Happy Simming!
