A 100 ways to make Uni interesting!

[joandsarah]

Good for you Jilly! How did you find it?

There are still things I haven't done with the game yet such as fulfil certain LTW, gain all holiday mementoes or make a combined creature.

I was pleasantly surprised. When I first got Uni, about a hundred years ago, I sent too many in a group & had them all in the same dorm, so all I ever did was send them to class and have them study or skill. After that, I think I abandoned those poor sims there & never went back.

Once I figured out to divide them up into different dorms, I could spend more efforts on their freetime instead of it all being their class time. That made it much more fun and laid back.

I'm really glad I gave it another shot!

Make over every walkby.
Make a vampire through college!

I love Greek Houses more than dorms, but that's great that you got them all through Jilly! Which things did you find most fun? I used to hate toga parties at first, but now I've got my 'success formula' for them, I adore smustling Greek Houses. ;D

I'm back with uni for a couple of weeks, graduating Jamie and Daryl, so this was good timing as always, Jilly.

Oh, and I promised eons ago that I'd add all the Psych majors to the other thread - I have 18odd of them copied down ready to put onto photobucket in a huge collage! ;D

[jillyson]

That sounds fun!

There's still a ton of stuff I want to do there - I had the streaker, a cheerleader, and the llama mascot all marry my sims and move into my PV town. The Llama girl still wears her costume all the time.

Good ideas, Puddin! It would be really hard to get a vamp to all those daytime classes!

You wouldn't have to go to class if you did your assignments, or term papers and chatted up with your professors.
So, you can add pass college without going to class.

Jill, so glad to hear you discovered the joys of Uni!
Smaller dorms are best for me. No more than 4 playables on a lot. I tend to keep my YAs in dorms until their junior year and then I move them to a rented house. I haven't played with the Greek houses much.

[jillyson]

I didn't know you could pass without going to class! Do you mean actually chatting up the prof, or "chatting up"?

[holleyberry]

You get class credit for befriending, and then going a step further and making them "happy" as well.
Yeah, no need to go to class, as long as you have enough credit doing assignments and term papers.

[joandsarah]

Chatting up under to covers is the easiest way to keep those prof's happy. You may remember that's what Vincent did, although he found one who was young and pretty. I think one of the old hags would be rather more eye gouging.

Yes, that's what i meant
I actually didn't know you could get credit until Vincent did that. Didn't you have one of the uncles sleeping with a professor too?

[joandsarah]

Vincent is the uncle.

[amylu1988]

Yeah I remembered Lottie doing it the most, although Vincent did come up with the idea. Personally I've never had a sim do that, most of mine just do assignments while I shoot plot with the others, so they get 4.0s relatively easily.

[joandsarah]

Either I am forgetting my own story or you're mixed up Amylu, as far as I remember Lottie did nothing but go to class as I played to their wants entirely last go through. It was nail biting as I wasn't sure if everyone would pass, but it was more fun than doing term papers. No one rolled any want to flirt with a Prof, but one or two may have rolled a friend want which I fulfilled, that would have helped with the grades. If you mean Evil Lottie then yes she did. Evil Lottie is Lottie's clone. She is still at Uni.

I think Lottie did one term paper as she had rolled the want. Then she found her love and she stayed true to him (And yes I forget his name too. *head desk* ) I think she graduated at about 3.4

[amylu1988]

Yep, I originally typed 'EL', then changed it to just Lottie, forgetting to add the Evil in. She's still at uni, poor girl!

I knew that!
