Some of the tones are: "Socialize" and "Suck Up to the Professor". The Sims can ask a Sim to attend their classes, but by doing so, the professor may notice. As lecture halls are open, and therefore interactive. This feature differs from The Sims 2: University , where Sims would attend classes off-lot and could not be interacted with while at class.
They can ask questions, take notes, and sleep through the lecture, and these actions affect their academic performances. Although Sims are allowed to skip classes for at maximum two days, more frequent occurrences result in punishment.
Spring breaks may occur if the player has Seasons installed, and it will depend on when the Sims' term ends. They look similar to the Adventure Boards in World Adventures.
Sims need to have a high academic performance, achieved through studying, paying attention at classes and lectures, and enhanced by a Sim's existing skills. Examinations will occur on Fridays. Sims can study from textbooks, computers and smartphones, or create a study group with up to three other Sims four total. They can also cheat on the examinations by making a study sheet and using the "Cheat" tone, but they might get caught.
Sims with a high computer hacking skill can find examination answers the day before that examination on a computer. Minimal studying and a poor mood will likely result in a failing grade. Failing it will make a major impact on their final grade.
Sims can drop out of university, but this may affect their life in some way. Graduations happen after Sims complete their major, the times varying based on major and when the Sim began to attend university. The time needed to graduate will depend on how many classes the Sim takes. If Sims graduate from university, they will get an extra trait slot and career benefits, depending on major.
The grades will affect the advantages, therefore Sims with higher grades will get more bonuses, [5] while Sims with lower grades will never get any benefits. Graduated Sims who want to meet the Sims from university can call them to have them visit their home town.
Some of the university buildings are built inside of shells, similar to Late Night 's apartment building shells, where the interior can be customized while the exterior cannot. The buildings can be added on any home worlds, but they function as rabbit holes with new interactions, thus this will not serve as a real university.
The java hut lot in University Life is different from the Coffeehouse lot from Showtime. While the java hut has an interior with a barista bar which is interactive, the Coffeehouse does not.
The shop will open from 9am to 1am. Dormitories can be built and edited through Edit Town mode. These dormitories will automatically fill in with Sims acting as roommates.
Sims can rent a dorm room or pay and rent an individual house in Sims University. Renting a house is more expensive than living in dorms. Players can "set bed ownership" for the Sims by clicking a bed. Sims can kick out their roommates, or request for roommate reassignments only in University. Sims do not pay bills while in University. However, they do earn money if they have roommates only applies to in rent houses in University. How much money a Sim earns depends on how many roommates they have.
Sorority houses are for female Sims while fraternity houses are for male Sims. These houses are more for the social side of the Sims' university life. Apartment lots are similar to dormitories. The rent cost is determined by the overall value of the lot. Social groups are groups of Sims who usually socialize with one another and have particularly similar interests, skills, and attitudes. Your Sim can gain influence with as many of these groups they desire.
These groups still exist outside of the university. To learn a Sim's social group, hover over the Sim with the mouse. Sims can choose to join the three social groups: nerds, jocks, and rebels. They can be in more than one social group, and the groups are optional to join. Interacting with a Sim in a certain social group may result in your Sim gaining influence with that group, even if not intended. The Jocks like to win anything. They usually hang out at B's Bowlarama in Sims University where they practice bowling.
They can also throw parties which are considered the best around the university. The Rebels like to stand apart from the crowd.
They usually hang out at The Grotto, a hangout with a new pool table. In the event that the non-Custodial Parent cannot pay their Child Support Bill and they are outside of the Active Household, Child Support will automatically stop for them.
This can occur if you don't regularly play the Paying Household since the game does not continue to build their income when inactive. Unlike Child Support, Alimony isn't automatic. The Receiving Sim must first "apply" for it as soon as a Divorce takes place, meaning it should be done before the Divorce moodlet expires out. You will not see a request from the Divorced Inactive Sim Sim living outside of the Active Household , so if you want your Sim to pay for Alimony you will have to go to the other Household to set that up and create a Direct Deposit for it if desired.
Again, this setup makes sure the Paying Sim isn't hoarding money. The whole point of this option during a Divorce settlement is to make sure the Sim, who's financial situation has drastically changed, is taken care of until they can get a job or make a change that fits their new reality.
When this bill becomes due, you have to pay this bill before attempting to pay your Sim's other Household Services. You could potentially have multiple Alimony payments at once as well, but normally you would just have the one ex-Spouse to pay to since payments stop when they re-marry or after 4 weeks of payments.
If you set your Bills to Autopay, Alimony payments will automatically payout like your Sim's other bills. As mentioned previously, your Sim has a narrow window of opportunity to request Alimony. They will need to go into the Government Benefits Portal and "Apply.
Again, these payments stop when a Sim marries another or 4 billing cycles have passed. If you are playing a single-parent household that isn't receiving Child Support, Wel-Fund 4 Families benefit is now available for those that are struggling. Moving your Sim into a new home or updating your Bills and have to re-set what services they need? Well with this update, you can add or activate services with one click in our new services set-up window.
If you want all services, you can get that with one touch also by choosing the Premium Welcome Package. If you want to pick and choose or fully customize what your Sim needs that option is still there with Customize Home Services.
With all these additional features, we've added in settings for each option so you can customize your Sim's financial experience. This includes Utility costs to make your Sim's bills higher or lower down to the percentage the Sim receives or pays for Alimony and Child Support. These settings are now global instead of household-based.
So if you were to go to another household within that save, those settings will remain. Unlike previous games, items kept in inventory will still count towards the bills. The effect will stack with multiple Sims having the "Frugal" trait. However the power and water will not work until the household generate their own utilities, which means no utility bills. In Patch 95, bills get an update where players can see a more detailed view of their weekly bills, as well as be able to see current bill status before needing to pay.
Players can now manage power and water storage. This will increase and decrease the bills needed to pay. This feature can be disabled in the gameplay option menu. With City Living , Sims residing in apartments and penthouses will have to pay rent, although the rent is included in the bill and is not delivered separately, unlike The Sims 2: Apartment Life.
With Discover University , Sims partaking in a degree at University will have to pay student loans, if the loans aren't paid of in time, the repo-man will come to collect a random item of similar value to the loans. Bills start out as a white color, then change to yellow, then orange, then eventually red.
After several days of non-payment, a notification will appear warning the player of the delinquency. In The Sims 3 , the player is given the option to pay the bills immediately from the notification. If the bills are not paid before the end of that day, the bills will explode and a repo-man will arrive on the lot and repossess items roughly equal in value to the debt owed and in some cases more.
In The Sims 2 , a visit from the repo-man will incur a bad memory on members of the household involved. The repo-man in The Sims 3 will repossess the item that is closest to the debt but not under it, meaning he will almost always repossess items that are worth more than the amount that was due. In The Sims 4 , if a bill isn't paid within 48 hours, electricity will be cut off until the bills are paid, meaning that all electrical appliances, electronics and lamps will cease to function.
If the bills remain unpaid for another 48 hours after that, the household water supply will also be cut. The disconnection of utilities will also extend to retail and restaurant lots owned by the household. Prior to patch 95 , no repo-man will come, unlike previous games, therefore the shutting off of utilities is the most serious consequence. However, patch 95 added the repo-man to The Sims 4 - should bills remain unpaid 48 hours after shutting off water supplies, repo-men will come to the house and repossess items, like previous games.
If the Sims live in an apartment , failure to pay the bills may result in the landlord refusing to look at problems with the apartment.
