Hmm, interesting. I might give this a go later. I'm curious though, since I like to pick the majors according to wants, how do these work with what the sims want?

Just wanted to say thank you for making this! I use Semester Changes, and I love that these majors are set to go with it. I tried to use your mod but unfortunately it seems to conflict with the Later Classes mod by Cyjon, which makes all the classes in the afternoon. I don't know for sure that they conflict, but while yours was in the classes were again at all times of day. I tried switching up the loading order but that didn't help. I need Later Classes with Semester Changes, so I had to take yours out for now. I'd be really interested if there's a way to make it so they don't conflict.

These default replacement majors also change the sims' wants. So, for example, if a sim wanted to register for the Physics major and you put my mod in your Downloads folder, registering them as a Computer Science major would fulfil the want. I also like to pick my sims' majors according to their wants! :-)

As far as I can make out Cyjon's Later Classes mod is a default replacement of all of the Maxis majors that just changes the class times, so that none of them start before noon. I don't think there's a way to use both mods at the same time, as generally one can only have one default replacement for something at a time, but what I could do is make a version of my majors with altered class times, so that they all start after noon; if you'd be interested in such a thing, @Jojoa777 - please let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Mostly fine, problem with biology major
Edit: All of the majors worked fine with no problems, until I chose Biology. When I got to my Sim's second semester of his junior year, I was unable to open the career/school tab in the UI. When I tried, the game crashed, giving me the "The application has crashed, the application will now terminate" error. After trying a few other things, I removed the default replacements and the crashing stopped. No idea what it could be about that one that made my game crash, and with all things Sims 2 it could be my game being finicky.

I think I asked about this a while ago, but would it be possible to make a version with this change? I totally understand if it's too hard, you don't have time, or you don't feel like it. But I would be really grateful!

Default Crash
Oddly enough my game crashed around every 20 minutes in game when I had these installed, and I didn't realize until I deleted them that it was the default majors causing the problem. I did have biology installed as well, so perhaps I will try just the others and see if I match with your findings. I was very sad because I think this is such a great set of defaults!!

This is a great idea but I do want to note: These did in fact make my game crash when I took out Cyjon's mod.

I didn't like how fast things were progressing (I was practically getting whiplash), so I removed Cyjon's mod and replaced it with a different semester length mod that didn't change things so drastically. After Cyjon's mod was removed, I couldn't open the class schedule panel for any of my students without the game crashing to the desktop. I would love to keep using these because they make so much more sense that the Maxis setup, but I'll have to look in to maybe making some changes to Cyjon's mod first.

It doesn't work at all if you *don't* have the mod. Too bad, because I liked the idea of replacing Drama with Performing Arts. Guess I'll have to do it the hard way (roll my own).

Hii, I really like your idea, but the only major I want to change is drama -> performing arts. Is it possible to just change one major?
