I have everything except star wars and the kits
I have SOL, not sure if u brought that up for conflict reasons or not, but thought I would mention I have it.
Zero University mods:
Careers Needs Degree
Required Degree for Promotion
with More Degrees addon
College Org Members Tweak
Go To Class Change Outfit
GTW Venue Fridge works in dorms
Higher Scholarships
Sheldon Cooper Scholarship
University Costs more
University Rejection


Hi. I updated the file and tweaked the admissions interview slightly so please redownload and let me know if you're still having the issue. None of the mods you listed should conflict.

I love what this mod adds, but it's not working as intended. I'm experiencing the same issue as others. I'm able to complete all the steps except where it comes to receiving the mystery phone call for the interview. I've waited multiple days, rescheduled, made sure it was during business hours (after 8 before 4) and still no call. The only other uni mods I'm using are Zero's Sheldon Cooper and Scarlet's faster homework. Edited to add that I also had LMSs Random Small Mods > Get Famous in which has some phone call suppression in it related to blind date call and job offer suppression. I've taken those out and I'm going to try again.


Hi. I modified the admissions interview slightly because I wasn't having the issue in my game but please redownload and see if it works for you now. Thanks!

The mod is crashing my game but I'm not sure why.

Edit: Found the problem. The mod conflicts with University Activities - 4 Activities for Sims in University and The Ultimate Rheumatologist Career because it has it's own University degree.

Hi, so I actually tried with just those two mods and all of my mods because I wasn't sure how they'd conflict (and I'm using the overhaul v2, btw) and I don't have any crashing or conflicts, everything works as it should so it might be worth checking again! It's hard to know what's a problem when you have a lot of mods like I do but if you can get mods to work together on their own they usually aren't conflicting so it might be something else. Just wanted to let you know!

Hi! It's me, again... Your updated version of the mod seemed to work fine until I updated the game to the most recent version (1.75). Now, the application option is grayed out when my teen sim selects it. When an adult does it, the option is active but it basically skips all the application steps and allows them to just apply right away. When I hover over the application option (as my teen sim) it says that she needs to run an application first and I'm not sure what that means. Also, when I try to send her to take a tour of the campus the interaction drops almost instantly. She disappears from the lot for a split second and then the interaction in the queue just gest crossed out and she is back. I attached screenshots but my game is in Russian. Basically, the screenshots show what happens when I hover over the application option for both, a teen and an adult.

I took all the mods out except for your and the issue persisted.

I'm having the same issues as AN_Gel. When I hover over the application option, it's greyed out and says that I need to start an application before I can start any applications. And whenever my sims go on a university tour they return instantly. I removed the SheldonLCooper scholarship and the Teens Jump to University packages, and that didn't seem to fix it.

Edit: Fixed the issue! Apparently you can't do this with teenagers and have aging turned off. Still can't go on a university tour, but my sims can now apply!

I always play with aging turned on and I am still experiencing the issue described in my previous comment.

You have to do the "Start Application" interaction and if you're using a teen it has to be at least 5 days before their birthday unless you use a mod that allows teens to apply to university early.

Also I can't tell what that says. What is the interactions that show up there?

Thank you, I will try that. I usually send young adults to Uni so I didn't realize that teens can only apply 5 days before their birthday. I will test it and report back.

Can someone help me with the interview please?
My sims works weekdays, it's Saturday in game and he's done everything bar the interview. I select to schedule interview and get a text saying to attend or reschedule. If I click OK nothing happens and the original optional to schedule an interview is back on the PC. If I click cancel I get the option to reschedule on PC which just repeats the cycle.
How do I attend? Is it an automatic thing after the text or am I missing a super obvious "send to interview" command?
If it is an automatic thing am I just being impatient? Is there an amount of in game hours I should wait before the rabbit hole event triggers?

I have other mods but nothing that should interfere with this one (that I'm aware of). Zero's career progress requires degrees is the only thing uni related I have.

The application process worked great once my teen reached 4 days until her birthday. Thank you for taking the time to read my comments and I sincerely apologize for the false alarm!

Hi! You attend by clicking on the Sim. You have 24 hours after scheduling the interview to do so. Otherwise you will then need to reschedule and do it again!

Only in their patreon. The one here on MTS is outdated and won't work anymore.

It would be great if the "Bypass university application" cheat could be moved to the debug menu, or somewhere other than primary sim interactions (Patreon version).
