Change University Students

Post by Althestal » July 11th, 2023, 4:16 pm

Hi all!

I have sent many sims to University over the years and am getting very tired of seeing the same faces for each playthrough, and especially for each generation. I've searched as best as I could through various forums and haven't gotten much info so...

What's the best way of changing the students/sims that live in the University world? I'm happy for them to be randomly generated or have them all be made by me but if there is a guide to erasing all previous students and replacing them with new townies that would be awesome! <3

Somewhere before the noon Meet and Greet on that first Sunday, use MasterController to Totally Annihilate the world's sims. Uni World does not by default have a City Hall on which to run the command, but the Admin Bldg should be the substitute for that structure.

In theory, the game itself will generate new sims to be the next term's uni students. If it doesn't do that on its own, you run the risk of your actively controlled sim being the only one going to classes and there being no professors -- you will know this for sure by Monday morning. But another option is to engage StoryProgression and its Rapid Immigration feature to repopulate the world (it will use vacant off-campus residences exclusively), MC > Add Sim to put at least some of them into dorms and the frat/sorority houses, and MC again to assign them the Uni Student career and major. Professors are also Uni Students but at Level 2, so those can also be arranged manually, at least one per major.
