Is your sim tired of routine work and gray life? Nothing brings him pleasure? Send him to the university, where he can feel all the charm of student life: from fun parties to sleepless nights for textbooks. The Sims 3: Student Life add-on will help you!
Where to go to study?
Admission to the university is available to Sims who have reached the age of "Young." However, we recommend that you begin preparing your character for admission from school. After all, all skills and grades will affect not only the learning process at the university, but also the size of the scholarship! A Sim can choose a faculty based on his own preferences, career plans, or by chance. In order to make the right choice, in the project "Sims 3: Student Life" there is the possibility of passing a special test. You can go through it in high school, or you can use the "University Welcome Set".
Note that the cost of training in different faculties is significantly different. The most expensive one is “Business,” the cost of studying at the Faculty of Physical Education is the least expensive.
University entrance and loans
In order to go to university, you need to use a computer or phone. Before leaving home, the sim will have to choose the direction, duration of training, number of credits. Let's consider all these points in more detail:
- Options for the diploma. Everything is simple here: the sim selects a faculty and upon completion of training receives a diploma of this faculty. By the way, if you want to finish several faculties, the sim will have to do this one at a time.
- Studying time. In Sims 3: Student Life, sims are offered two options - one or two semesters, which are equal to one and two weeks, respectively. This parameter affects how soon your hero returns home - right after the exams or will remain uninterrupted for the second week.
- Loans Filling out the application form, you can choose three options that determine the level of difficulty of training: 6, 12 and 18 credits. In order to get a diploma, you will need 48 credits. That is, by choosing a larger number, you will most likely complete the training. True, the schedule will be as busy as possible. Note that gamers still have not been able to find codes for loans in "Sims 3: Student Life", which means that your Sim will have to snoop on textbooks.
Immediately after registration, the sim will go to university. Let's talk about this place in more detail!
Campus: description, features
This location in the game "Sims 3: Student Life" is full of various interesting places. And the hero will be able to choose a place of residence: in this addition are available not only at home, but also student communes, and even hostels. By the way, unlike the dormitories in Sims 2, in the third part the sim will share a room with other characters.
There are educational buildings in the city, the University Courtyard, where the most interesting events take place, a stadium, a library, and a testing ground for a school of science. But do not think that the campus is a place only for science. In their free time, Sims can visit the bowling center, coffee house, pool, gym and beach!
Studying proccess
The first thing to do is to get acquainted with the course schedule. All classes can be divided into three categories:
- lectures;
- workshops;
- Classwork.
Seminars take place three times a week. It is worth noting that they pass in the "rabbit holes", and therefore will not succeed in following the learning process. But you will have the opportunity to choose a mode: a sim can learn normally or hard, chat with classmates or just sleep! Watching lectures is much more interesting, you can ask the professor questions, take notes and take an active part in the training of your hero. What is class work? Once a week, all students conduct experiments using a special subject placed in their baggage upon admission. For example, for journalists this is a radio installation, for businessmen - a folding table.
Academic performance
You can track the progress of the diploma and the average mark in “Sims 3: Student Life” in the corresponding section on the game panel. In order for the ratings to be positive, it is necessary to attend all classes, engage in self-development, using a smartphone, textbooks and special objects. It will not be superfluous to learn new skills. Please note: paid courses that can be attended in the student city do not affect academic success at all!
Absenteeism, absenteeism, sleep at lectures, occupations by extraneous matters during seminars negatively affect the academic performance of sims. The indicator may slightly decrease during the time when the character is not busy with studies.
Substitutes and cribs
Every Friday, students take exams. They, like seminars, are held in "rabbit holes". What is required for successful exams? Good mood, filled progress indicator and diligent training. By the way, in the game “Sims 3: Student Life”, Sims have the opportunity to cheat and send their “deputy” instead of themselves to seminars or classes. However, do not forget that any scam is an extremely risky event, the teacher may notice a forgery.
High school graduation
At the end of each week, the sim receives a report card with a final grade. The point that will be indicated in the diploma is the sum of the estimates of all weeks. It will be possible to get it when 48 credits are collected. In the evening of the same day, the sim will have to attend the graduation ceremony. Unfortunately, look at this will not work. Only one thing is known: all students in the game "Sims 3: Student Life" put on their robes and after a few hours they leave with a diploma. You can invite Sim’s family and friends to the ceremony, but gamers do not recommend this, because it can lead to problems in the game.
Sims 3: Student Life: Codes
To facilitate the character's life, special codes will help. So, motherlode will add 50 thousand simoleons to the hero’s wallet, resetSim will solve the problem when the sim is stuck in textures or stuck to any object. However, the most important is the developer code. Players say - it is indispensable for disabling needs. The code in “Sims 3: Student Life” is no different from the code in other add-ons; it looks like this: TestingCheatsEnabled true. With it, you can change the needs of the sim, block them. In addition, a huge number of new opportunities will open before you!
