Academic progression and career progression

Post by Tommee1 » November 25th, 2020, 6:56 pm

I recently stopped career progression for the inactive family caste in my game. But now I am wondering if that will also stop the academic progression of the students attending my home world University. Does anyone know?

Yes it is considered a career by the game so if you have progression turned off for those they shouldn't progress.

It's a holiday weekend in some parts of the world. No one is thinking about school and the papers they have due next week. :)

Okay, I have never played a Homeworld Uni myself. But since the answers from more experienced players aren't flowing in yet, wouldn't it really be a matter of testing -- on a spare game save or off to the side, stop career progression at the Sim level for a few inactive Uni students and watch their academic scores. If they change up or down after a sim day or two, then I would have to say the setting doesn't apply to Uni academic progress. Or is it really more complicated than that?

It may be difficult to see their exact scores, so you might have to switch active households around before the test to take a reading and then again after to compare.

Hi Igazor, it has been many years since I last played sims 3 and am trying to remember alot that I had forgotten about these mods apparently LOL.

Thanks for your response, I may just have to wait. I play with the speed slowed down, epic life span, and increased Uni term to 2 weeks. LOL I'm sure people will be back in here before I get to the end of a term.

I will still keep an eye on a Uni student to try and see what is happening.

I have lots of home world Uni's, I have never played with career progression turned off for my inactives, my thoughts would be no your inactives won't progress because Academics is a career.
