Issue Description:
Several packs that include filtering or selection criteria for Sims — specifically Clubs (Get Together), Customer/Target Audience filters (Businesses & Hobbies), and Role Requirements (Adventure Awaits) — are missing university affiliation (Brightchester vs. Foxbury) as a selectable option. This prevents players from creating clubs, attracting specific customer types, or setting role requirements based on which university a Sim attended or is enrolled in.
Expected Behavior:
University affiliation should appear as a filter option in:
- Club requirements (Get Together) — alongside Age, Career, Traits, Skills, etc.
- Customer/target audience selection (Businesses & Hobbies)
- Role requirement criteria (Adventure Awaits)
This would allow players to create University-themed clubs (e.g., "Foxbury Spirit Club"), attract customers specifically from one university to a business, or require certain roles to be filled by graduates of a specific university.
Steps to Reproduce:
- For Clubs (Get Together):
- Open the Clubs panel and create a new club or edit an existing one.
- Navigate to the Requirements section.
- Look for any option related to "University," "University Affiliation," "Brightchester," "Foxbury," "Graduate," or "Enrolled Student."
- Note that no such option exists.
- For Businesses & Hobbies:
- Open the Business panel for a owned business.
- Navigate to customer/target audience selection.
- Look for university affiliation filters.
- Note that no such option exists.
- For Adventure Awaits (Role Requirements):
- When setting up role requirements for a getaway or event.
- Look for university affiliation as a criteria.
- Note that no such option exists.
Actual Result:
University affiliation (Brightchester vs. Foxbury) is completely absent from filter/requirement menus across all three packs. This includes:
- No "University Alumni" or "University Student" category
- No specific "Brightchester" or "Foxbury" options
- No "Graduation Status" options
Affected Packs & Features:
| Pack | Feature | Missing Filter |
|---|---|---|
| Get Together | Club Requirements | University affiliation |
| Businesses & Hobbies | Customer/Target Audience | University affiliation |
| Adventure Awaits | Role Requirements | University affiliation |
Additional Notes:
- The Club system in Get Together includes many detailed requirements such as Age, Career, Marital Status, Financial Status, Traits, Skill Levels, and Celebrity Level . University affiliation is a notable omission given that university attendance is a significant life state in Discover University.
- This appears to be an oversight in cross-pack compatibility — the university affiliation system introduced in Discover University was never retroactively integrated into the filtering systems of earlier or subsequent packs.
Workaround:
None. Players cannot filter or require by university affiliation using in-game tools. Manual tracking of Sims' university status is required.
Impact:
Moderate to high. Players cannot create immersive university-themed clubs, businesses that cater specifically to students of one university, or assign roles based on educational background. This reduces cross-pack functionality and limits storytelling potential.
