A 100 ways to make Uni interesting!

[joandsarah]

Tell you what even with the adjuster and sending them to exams a day early, uni is still too long! I had fun for up to about half way through to about second year, now I want it done with.

For some reason, some years seem to drag, while others fly by. I guess that's like RL!

[joandsarah]

That's very true. Senior year went by very fast and I almost wished I had a few hours more. They have graduated and moved into my first starter home and now have a baby boy. I should put up some picspam.

[jillyson]

But of course you should!

It's the opposite for me. Their freshman and sophmore seems to fly. By the time it's senior year I am done with them. That's why I rarely have Graduation parties.
Then I mve them back to the neighborhood and they sit until their turn in the rotation. By that time, i'm like "Yeah, I miss these guys!"

I find I got attached to "townies" that were aged up and sent along with my sims to uni. I got to know them and I never expected to move them back to town and put them in rotation.

This thread makes me wish I had Uni :/
And makes me want a Uni expansion pack for S3 even more

There are far better EP's if you don't have them all yet. The best things about Uni is the cow plant ~I don't know how I could do the 26 baby challenge without that. The resurrecting phone and that your sim gains more want slots. I think there may be a problem also downloading lots from any of us with the uni EP as well. But game play wise I think seasons and AP added more.

[jillyson]

AP was my fave, but that was because of the magic.

I should be sending my next round of PV kids to Uni this weekend, and I never had a grad party, so I'm putting that on my list of things to do! (Is that on the main list?) *runs to check

[joandsarah]

Did you download the adjuster? You can make the terms shorter.

[holleyberry]

All those little hacks you use are extracted from the Insiminator. It has that education adjustor to fix grades, make a session longer, or shorter that sort of thing. I think I end up with two day sessions. I usually get them to their A= and then set the final for a couple hours later.
My favorite EP is probably NL. I loved sending my Sim out of the house on dates and such.

I was too wiped out to get any playtime this weekend - hopefully I'll get some time during the week after work.

I'm playing sims through uni again (not gen3 yet unfortunately, I'm not that far ahead) and still so grateful for this thread! Senior year is dragging for a certain abducted Psychologist and I just want to finish the chapter now...I know, toga party! ;D

I'm having the hardest time getting Lilith Pleasant to meet someone she's interested in at Uni. She's in her last semester there, and still no luck. I keep sending her to Uni community lots & have her scope for someone, but she never gets more than 1 bolt, if that.

I was hoping she and Orlando Centowski might hook up, but they have no bolts. She doesn't like the Tricou boy, either, which was my second choice. She had 1 bolt for a girl, too. I could go that route, but I'd like her to choose "on her own" without me selecting for her, and I'll have to choose her gender preference. She doesn't seem to have one.

The only one she heart farts is Dustin Broke, who had to drop out because he knocked up her sister, Angela. They had a shotgun wedding, and an adorable baby boy. So Dustin is out.

I think today I'll call the gypsy for her.
(Thanks for that suggestion, Holley!)

[holleyberry]

She could like both girls and boys. The gender preferences are percentages, so she could have a 62% Male/ 38% Female thing going on. There's no rule that says she has to have just one anybody either She could be a closet Romance Sim. I never understood why Maxis made her Popularity anyways.
