University Life Question

[JohnL]

If my sim is in a realtionship in our home world and the active sim sleeps around while at University, does it carry over once my sim get's back home? I couldn't exactly find the answer online, but I know you can stay in contact with UL sims. So does what happens in UL stay in UL or will my sim be accused of cheating when he gets back?

This happens to my university sims all the time. No, they wont be accused of cheating. But sometimes it may glitch and say the sim never even went to the school that day.

Not sure, but I think we may be confusing cheating on academic performance or getting other sims to attend class for us with cheating on one's partner romantically. Reputations are by world, what happens in Uni stays in Uni (generally). But if you put the two or more sims together in the same world again, that can change.

As someone who was conceived while my parents were at Uni, that had to be an oopsie moment and I know that's Too Much Information, I actually find this a bit offensive. I checked and nowhere on the entrance gates to the college I went to does it say "You will have no responsibility for anything that you do here" in English, Latin, or Simlish, even if my roommates and other acquaintances may have acted as if it did say that.

Thanks! And yes, I meant infidelity. I had that issue with "cheating" when looking this up online because every refrence I found was about cheating on tests and such. I even tried other terms like infidelity and got nothing. lol

I have a teen who just aged up and I'm sending them off to Uni. I want them fool around if the mood hits them. I know I could cheat the relationship if I had to, but it's more fun to not do that sometimes. Their partner aged up too and I considered making them both active and sending them together, but I want to try a single sim this time. When I first downloaded this EP a couple weeks ago I sent 4 YA (two couples) from my Bridgeport game together and it was a lot to keep track of. I actually haven't sent any of the 4 other games/families to Uni since because I decided to just send any teens after aging up instead.

It's good to send a single sim to Uni at least once to get used to and practice the different paths to academic (or goof-off) performance as one wants. I could never do that again after the first time though, would be bored out of my mind. The batches of sims I send now range from 3 to 7 sims at a time. More than that, although doable, would be quite a handful for me to manage and therefore less fun.

Similar to homeworlds. I have no problems playing overstuffed households (mods, you know which ones) with 12-15 sims as long as at least some of them are children or younger. But any more than that and each sim hour becomes way too much work to get through for someone like me who tries to micro-manage just about everything.

Yes, my max in my homeworlds per house is 12. Still, it's nice to have a few in various rabbit hole jobs as well. I also think I will be good with more sims at Uni once I know all the things to do.(just like when I got used to regular gameplay and mods) I have been busy all week and haven't gotten to get back to my games yet! I really love all the new things that came with UL. ! I've already built arcades in all my homeworlds with bowling, pool, arcade games, photo booths etc. I I have them visit those more now than the parks...at least until the novelty wears off.
