Everything everyone is saying above makes sense. I'm a majority sims 2 player so when you guys say LTW I think of reaching the top of the career track or having 6 grandchildren, etc. I'll put some points for it in the rules

Oh awesome! I'm glad to hear it!

I got another update out, but now I'll need to go through and check the kids for their honor roll/careers! :shifty:

Sorry for not reading everyone's just yet. I've had a really rough go of it with real life stuff lately. :sorry: I'm going to try to catch up soon. I'm just trying to recover from everything.

I only just now saw this. That's what comes from being distracted for months on end.

Anyway, my BACC got a horrible glitch on the THIRD part, so I saved to another folder, then uninstalled, and am re-installing the game right now, and as I wait, reading here, and have decided that since I Need a Break from BACC from time to time, this would be a nice challenge for me.

Question: I really want my founders (TS2, btw) to be able to do the university careers, like Artist and Natural Science, but the rules say they need to start as adults. If I give them a big penalty to counter-act the college start, can I still do the college start, and stay within the rules?

My proposal for the college start: You play through college, and *earn* that degree (I know there are cheats to get a fake degree; please don't do that), so you can get those careers, but at graduation, you have to give up all the skill points and money (move in one, check the bank balance, then move in the other and FamilyFunds cheat them back down to the singleton bank balance), empty your inventory at graduation (except for the diploma), and spend all your aspiration points, then delete the rewards. AND, because you will have had the opportunity to make friends and earn talent badges (and I don't know how to get rid of talent badges, like you can get rid of skill points), you have to pay a 20 point penalty. No starting a business in college. No completing a LTW in college, even if it's possible (like the dates/friends/skills LTWs). Or is that too much of a penalty, with all the complicated cheating this and deleting that, and a simple 20 points would do? Or 40 points? I find myself actually wanting to score this thing, so a point-ruling would be good here, please.

Hmmm, I never considered a university start. I feel like a uni start is fine tbh. To win the challenge you still have to raise 24 kids, you might have a slightly easier time with a uni start but (and I'm not 100% sure, I've never played Sims 3 university) I'd guess the bonuses would be much the same from university in TS3 as well as in TS4, when they eventually release that EP. I'm fine with uni starts with no need to dock points personally. I did edit the rules to say that LTWs completed at uni didn't count for points, though.

AWESOME!!!! Thank you so much! WOOOOT! :celebration:

I'm one of those weirdos who actually LIKE University.

Does this mean I don't have to wipe out the skill points and aspirations, either?

Oh, also, what about Servos and Bigfeet? Are they allowed? Unlike hiring a service sim, you have to actually 1) work to get them, and 2) work to take care of their needs/aspirations. I'd vote Yes.

Yeah dont bother wiping skills. Aspiration rewards won't get you any points if earned at uni though.
Also yeah, Servos and Bigfoot seem fine to me
