New University Electives Mod v.1.0
What does the mod do?
This little mod adds a couple of new elective courses in the universities. It also increases the number of courses displayed so that all students have more choices each semester. The mod is fully compatible with the Mod University Custom Degrees by Zero.
Only the Sims 4 Discover University expansion pack is required. The other packages or mods are optional. I have only added a few elective courses at the moment. I can expand it. Please do not be afraid to express your wishes. The semester fees are the same with the game of existing courses. You can choose yourself which courses you want to install. Each course ends with either an exam or written coursework. I have not made any presentations, that would be far too time-consuming…
As in the original game, each course is linked to learning a specific skill. However, the skills are only learned if you have the appropriate mods or packs. The courses can also be installed and taken if you do not have the necessary packs or mods. The course is then carried out without any skill improvement.
List of all available courses
The following skills are currently available:
| Course Skill | Britechester Course | Foxbury Course | Pack/Mod required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dairy Production | Dairy Production and Management | Dairy Production and Technology | Dairy Production |
| Juice Fizzing* | Drink Manufacturing | Brewing and Beverage Technology | Sims 4: Eco Lifestyle |
| Pottery | Product Design in Ceramics | Ceramic Design | Functional Pottery Wheel |
| Religion | Theology and Religion | Philosophy, Science and Religion | Rambunctious Religions |
| Retail Sales** | Retail Management & Marketing | Retail Sales Management | Sims 4: Get To Work |
| Sexpertise | Gender and Sexual Education | Sex and Human Sexuality | Wicked Whims |
Notes: *There was no elective course in the game that supported the “Juice Fizzing” skill.
**With the elective course for the “Retail Sales” hidden skill, this skill is also made visible.
I’ve only done a few new elective courses here. If you like this mod, I can add more courses. Asks and leaves comments!
Translation
I added the strings in EN, DE, RU, ES, and FR. All other languages have strings in English. Should you want to suggest an improvement to the translation or add a new translation, please contact me.
How to install this mod?
Copy the *.package File into you Sims 4 Mods Folder (Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods).
Important Information!
The game doesn’t seem to like it when new courses are added. It’s arguably more complicated to implement than jobs and careers. So if you delete this mod before the custom course is finished, it can lead to incorrect properties of the affected Sims. This means that an error message is displayed every time the game is loaded. This can only be repaired if you turn off all mods and save the game again.
Possible compatibility problems
The mod is currently compatible with the Mod University Custom Degrees by Zero. If Zero adds new custom courses, I have to update my mod as well. I will also contact Zero about this.
