I have experienced the same thing. There are rugs there but named "purrfect". This could be because at some point Misty pulled her rugs out of everything offering them by request only. I really have no other explanation but it's a good idea for anyone using home Unis to check the rugs.
@ritaxis .. not in game right now but I have them enroll in University in the Admin building and the object/books appear and my sim attend classes working towards their degree according to schedule. Perhaps there is a difference between playing EA's Uni and Homeworld. I will retrace my steps when I go into the game.

@ Calista I'm not terribly sure but the mod has some text written for it that should be showing somewhere. I have to track down where.

@ Tangie it causes script errors in the filter system I created and also breaks exported Sims if they have it at the time of export. I don't know of sp issues. Overall rough around the edges mostly due to EA's design choices.

@ brappl but what I'm saying is, are you enrolling them in the education major you can download from here? If you're enrolling in the EA ones then yes you get objects.

The Misty rugs appear with the "Purrfect" name in the catalog and tooltip. Have you checked them in live mode?

I have tested by placing the Salmon Woods University into my build & edit world (a flat, empty world I exported from CAW), along with a residential lot with a sim. Without placing the rabbithole rugs myself, there is only one map tag on the lot, the student union tag, because that's the lot designation. There is no option available in map view except to visit. Once I edit the lot and place the rabbithole rugs in myself, the map tags for all of them are showing, and my sim can enroll. Also, in my game, the rugs are titled "Administration Center by Misty," "Annex by Misty," etc. The thumbnail of each one is an icon representing whichever rabbithole each one is for, but once they're placed they look exactly like the Purrfect rugs. Maybe Misty made some changes to them since some of you added them to your games. They are a new addition to my game, downloaded within the last 2 or 3 months, as is the Salmon Woods University lot.

@Chain - For gosh sakes, never looked at it that way. I've been so used to playing with downloaded careers I never gave it a second thought that Homeworld Uni was different. I guess my sims have always been educated by EA. Perhaps that's why they all have performance issues in their jobs, lol. Thank you for clarifying that for me.
@ritaxis - my experience is/was the same as Calista's with Salmon Woods and also a Uni lot downloaded from another site. The rugs were there but they were not the official Uni Building Rugs. Once those were deleted and replaced with Misty's rugs everything worked just fine.
