Getting kicked out of University

Archived from groups: alt.games.the-sims-2 (More info?)

I saw this before (and posted myself), but have not seen anything lately.

I had a Sim in his junior year go to take his midterm final. I got a
message that it was "Time so and so joins the real world". When he
returned, he got an A, and got on the Dean's list and the 1200 dollars. He
then age transitioned and caught the cab back home.

What causes this? Is it random? Is it a bug?

This is the second Sim it has happened to. And it does make a difference.
They have regrets about not finishing. At least the first one (Dustin
Broke) did.

I think its a shame that you can't send adults back to university, they can
live in an apartment with their family in tow (they endure the hardship as
well) OR they can do some sort of home study thing like University of
Phoenix.... Allows adult sims to complete an aspiration, allows adult sims
to change career fields, allows a new interaction between adult sims and
youth sims, and the resultant age barriers that occur in a real university,
and opens up a career field in education... Go from Teaching Assistant... to
Elementary, to Secondary, to Undergrad teacher, to Grad teacher... to
Dean.... downside is that it requires family to live in college town......

I just answered this again recently:

Yes, it's a bug and there's a fix at either Various Simmers

http://www.variousimmers.net/vsimforum/index.php

or Pescado

http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf//index.php

Sorry I can't remember which hacker made it - Pescado or TwoJeffs.

Best wishes

I don't think its bug because the window message pop up; "Time so and so
joins the real world".

Oh I see. I understand now.
