University Life allows Sims who are aged Young Adult and older, the ability to pursue their academic dreams. While all adult Sims can enroll in University, having workforce and skill experience allow them to receive promotions, credits, and scholarships. Sims who choose to complete an aptitude test, have a chance of receiving University Credits and Scholarships. There are many factors that contribute to a high sub-score on the aptitude test, and not every Sim will receive bonuses.
Sims with more career experience and skill levels, are more likely to earn Partial or Full Scholarships. Other Sims who may have built a strong knowledge in certain areas, but not in others, may only receive credit bonuses and no scholarships.

Points and credits vary, and are determined by the factors mentioned earlier. When Sims select a two term enrollment, they will receive simoleons. The Aptitude Test can be taken infinite times, and does not require that you attend University immediately after.

Sims who do not receive any Aptitude Test bonus credits will have to attend at least three terms to complete a degree, assuming they opt in for the full 18 credit term. Sims have the option of completing a minimum of 6 credits per 1 term, or doubling down for a two term session worth 12 credits.
No matter how you choose to mix and match the credits and terms, Sims will not receive a degree unless they accrue 48 credits. Each University term equates to one game week. The more credits your Sims apply for, the less time they will have to party and socialize on campus. If your Sims are dedicated to their academics, it would be best to throw them into a two term, 36 credit enrollment.
Having the funds to attend University are the largest factor to consider. When Sims receive scholarship funds through the Aptitude Test, they will be able to use those funds towards their education.
The scholarship funds are also used toward the rental of a home, or expenses while on campus. When deciding how to split your funds when scholarships are not given, always remember that while living in Dorms on the University Campus is free, you will still need to account for any expenses you may incur.

If your Sims prefer not to live in dorms, they can rent a house in the village around the University. The rent paid for these private homes are paid for the entirety of their stay in one go.

Thursday is practical class day, depending on your degree you do various things.

All these classes increase your degree progression, but just following classes is not enough you do have to study on the computer or with fellow Sims.
Another way to increase your degree progression is to use the special degree equipment that you get when from the start of your university time. There is also the fact that a degree has direct inpact on career progression and salary.
This Expansion Pack adds a LOT of gameplay, if you are a player this pack is definitely worth getting. The social groups, new skills, going to university, the new careers are all very fun and give a lot of playing time.
For builders the new apartment lots and dormitories are a good reason to build large houses. There are also a lot of new entertainment items that will help decorate the large houses. For me personally the only downside to this expansion pack is the loading screen to the University Town. And I find that loading the university town takes unusually long on my fast computer.

A feature new to the series in The Sims 4: Discover University are elective classes. They are side classes that Sims can choose to study alongside their degree that helps them to build up one associated skill.
They are assessed the same way as the degree classes, and count towards the 12 credits sims need to graduate. A sim can only have one elective class per term, and cannot choose an elective class if they have already chosen four traditional degree classes that term. There is one elective class for the majority of the skills in the game. An elective class for a particular skill will only be available if the player has that skill's associated content pack installed.
For example, players without The Sims 4: Seasons will not have elective classes in flower arranging available, because that skill is part of the pack. Elective classes are useful if a sim wishes to build a skill that is not included in the base game or Discover University , but would make sense for the degree they are studying. For example, a sim studying Drama without any elective classes can only be assessed on the charisma and comedy skills, because the acting skill is exclusive to The Sims 4: Get Famous.
With elective classes, a sim studying Drama can choose an acting elective class alongside their degree to build the acting skill. Similarily, a student studying Culinary Arts may wish to pursue a baking elective class which is exclusive to Get to Work. However the player is free to choose any elective class, even if it is irrelevant to their degree. The Sims Wiki Explore. By stocking fish, a new type of fish is introduced in that pond.
