I created a new Young Adult Sim last week, and I decided to enrol him into university so he can a degree in Computer Science. But when I arrive at the screen where you choose your Sim's degree and classes, it tells me that my Sim already has that degree and therefore cannot apply for it. Except he obviously doesn't have one yet, because he's only existed for five Sim weeks. This occurs with both University of Britechester and Foxbury Institute.

I've tried various trait-related mods like MCCC and chingyu to investigate and find some sort of evidence that he has the Computer Science trait and try to remove it. But all my investigation just shows that my Sim doesn't have any degrees, let alone one for Computer Science.

I then tried repairing my game, but this did not work. I then tried removing all my mods and loading the game back up, but this did not work either.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can fix the issue?

Thank you.

My only guess for the cause would be if you downloaded a sim from the gallery and then edited it, not knowing it had been played and has a degree. If you didn't, I genuinely have no clue. As for removing it, there's a mod that adds a cheat function to do just that: https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mo...gree-cheat-code

Some traits can also give sims hidden buffs, and some hidden buffs have no timed countdown, so they remain forever on the sim even after the trait is removed. So even if you use mods to see that there is no Uni Degree Trait to remove, there may yet be a hidden buff on the sim from that trait - even with trait removed - that tells the game the sim still has the Degree. Use MC cheats again to remove all buffs. Hope this helps clean up your sim.
