15 ⛦ Who Ca💛n Attend University?
All Sims from young adults and 💧upwards can attend university. This🅰 means that mature students are officially in-game. However, university life doesn't just begin at young adulthood as there is preparation to do beforehand.
꧅Sims have to apply fꦍor university and being accepted onto the more prestigious courses will require good high school grades as well as a decent fluency in other skills, preferably in the area you wish to study. Working hard as a child and teenager will pay off when you send in that application.
14 What Caᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚn You Study?
There is a range of different degrees, thirteen in all. Both universities offer basic and distinguished degrees. However, ☂the distinguished degrees, which offer greater rewards, are split between the different universities, with seven offered at Britechester and six at Foxbury.
The available subjects are Art History, Biology, Communications, Computer Science, Culinary Arts, Drama, Economics, History, Language and Literature, Physics, Psychology, and Vi♌llainy. If you cannot get onto, or choose not to take, a distinguished degree you can take a normal degree in the same subject at the other university.
13 ♉ ꧋ How Do I Get Onto A Distinguished Degree Course?
Each degree has different req꧒uired skills but acceptance onto distinguished degrees just seems to require some skills at level 3 or above. While working on the skills relate𒉰d to your degree of choice is more beneficial it isn't required.
We suggest working on skills that you'll need in your sims future career or on useful everyday skills such as cooking. The game is just looking for sims that spent some tꦫime working on skills in their teen years.
12 How Much Does I🔯t Cost?
The cost of university education is tied to your course and accommodation choices. Courses are charged by the module, with sims being able 🦂to study up to four modules per term, including an elective if they chose. Expect a full-time courseꦬ load to run into four figures, with accommodation costs on top.
It should be not🌠ed that university accommodation costs are per term (one in-game week) and include utilities, cleaning services, and cafeteria food. If sims wish to spread the cost of time and simoleons they can choose fewer classes for ꦛa part-time option.
Payments can be made in three ways. The first is directly from household funds. The second is via a student loan, which your sim will pay back with interest after graduation. Finally, you can be awarded a scholarship to cover part or all of your costs. Scholarships are✃ based on skills, location or household income.
11 How Do I Get A Scholars𒅌hip?
To apply for a grant click on your mailbox or a computer and select university. Then you caಞn choose to apply for scholarships. This will bring up a list of which scholarships your sim can apply for.
Finall꧑y, you need to 💙click apply and then wait for an answer. If you're successful the grant will be taken off the amount you owe once you begin your first university term. You can apply for grants as a teen, although you cannot apply to university until your sims reach young adult age.
10 What Types Of Scholarships A𓆉re Available?
There are six different types of scholarships and which ones you qualify for will depe꧂nd on your sims backgr🃏ound and skills.
Distinguished scholarships are for those on these courses, while skill-based scholarships a🀅re for any sims with high skills. These two are likely to cross over. For those going into university later in life, there are career grants for those with established careers and sports or e-sports grants for sims involved in these area𒀰s. Finally, there are need-based grants for poorer sims and residential grants, that vary depending on which world your sims live in.
9 ꦉ 💯 What's The Difference Between The Two Universities?
Each university has a different focus which is reflected in their distinguished degrees and societies. Britechester is a more traditional🎐 looking campus that offers distinguished degrees in humanities and the arts. As well as a Spirit Corps they also have an art society, debate guild and plenty of places to paint.
Foxbury is more modern with a focus on science and technology. Their distinguished degrees are focused aroun🐻d these areas, as is their robotics club. They also have ♔a Spirit Squad and Brainiacs honor society.
8 Can Friends And Family Visit ꦓThe Campus?
Yes. Unlike in previous packs, 🔯the world of Britechester is a normal world, which can be visited and lived in. The left and right of the town contain a common building and 2 dorms for the university in that area. The main town in the center can be fully customized, with players able to build any type of lot in it, including residential buildings.
All sims can visit either campus, regardless of university attendance status. The only restrictions are that campus-specific dorms can only be lived in by students from the corresponding𓆏 institution. All dorms can be fully edited from ꩲthe world map or with the free build cheat but this will affect accommodation costs.
7 Are The Classes Rabbit hole🦹s? 𒉰
They are. However, there are other tasks that you will need to do which aren't. Each class has three elements. The first is attending classes, which are rabbit holes. The second element is homework, which is done from a book in the same way as hi🌠gh school homework. Thirdlyꦇ, there is a variable element, finals.
Finals can be a term paper, which needs to be written on a PC, or an exam, which needs to be attended. The final element is a presentation, which needs to be prepared. A presentation board will be added to your sims inventory and they must design and practice prese♍nting for the best grade boost.
6 🅺 How Easy Are The Final♌s?
Finals aren't too dif🐽ficult but do take time. If your final is an exam then you'll need to take notes in class and study before the last class. This is probably the easiest of the three options.
Presentations use a board, that will be in your sims inventory. After you've created your presentation you'll need to edit and practice it in order to improve ꦚthe quality. Finally, you'll need to present it during school hours. This is the most difficult option.
In the middle are term papers that you need to write and then edit before submitting. You'll need to do these on a computer so if you don't have one then a trip to your campus' facilities will be require⭕d.
