20. Teens Jump to University

This incredibly entertaining mod is similar to a feature of the High School Years expansion pack! If your teen gets an A in high school, he or she may be able to graduate early and go straight to university! 

The chances aren't great, but genius sims have a good chance. Your teen will see a pop-up window with this opportunity. 

You don't have to do this if you haven't finished watching your child grow up! You can simply decide to keep your teen in high school, and his or her life will go on as usual.

What’s Fun About Teens Jump to University:

• Teens with an A grade may be able to skip high school, giving them the opportunity to complete university sooner
• Genius teens have a high chance of skipping high school
• Fun pop-up system
• Gives you the chance to experience a feature of the High School Years expansion pack, even if you don’t have it

19. Genius Teens Can & Enroll to University Anytime

If your teen Sim has the Genius trait, they can now apply and enrol in university at any time! This includes the time right after they start high school.

What’s Fun About Genius Teens Can Apply & Enroll To University:

18. University Costs More

If you want to make university more difficult, this mod is for you! Some players felt that the original price of classes (240) made the game too cheap, and certainly not realistic. 

This mod drastically alters the prices of classes, totaling 30720. Elective costs differ. Vampire Lore, for example, is the most expensive class (5200), followed by Gourmet Cooking (4000), and Piano, Violin, and other artistic classes, Handiness, and Flower Arranging are the least expensive (1500). 

You then repay the loan in the same manner as you would in real life, gradually but steadily! The page linked below contains information on how to change the prices yourself.

What’s Fun About University Costs More:

• Make your game more financially challenging
• University is far more realistic with these increased costs
• Altered payback of loans, which is like real-life.

17. University Rejection Letters

This is an extensive mod that brings the concept of a University rejection letter into fruition! Without this mod, almost every sim will get accepted to university, no matter what.

Now school grades and certain traits and skills will impact upon whether your sim will get that exciting acceptance letter, or the feared rejection letter. Traits such as goofball, lazy, clumsy, childish, and hot-headed will increase your sims’ chances of getting rejected.

To increase your chances of being accepted, make sure their Charisma, Logic, and Writing skills are at least level 5. Don’t worry if you get rejected, though - you can always apply again after some time.

What’s Fun About University Rejection Letter:

• Not all sims will receive an acceptance letter - they'll have to earn it!
• Acceptance is contingent on grades, traits, and skills
• New rejection letter pop up and moodlets
• Can apply multiple times after getting a rejection letter
