Hi! Was just wondering - Getting kind of bored of Uni gameplay... If I were to make my sim drop out would I still get anything out of it? Or will I get a memory pop up from dropping out? My sim just became a junior.
TLDR; What happens if you drop out halfway into Uni?

You can drop out whenever. You don't get anything out of it, unless you have a mod for that.

You retain the five want slots, and of course any skills gained.

You also get a little crossed out symbol for your previous age stage. I think there's a memory for dropping out? Not sure. (Edit: It turns out the rest of their family will get the memory, but not them. Get the fix: https://modthesims.info/d/683456/qu...memory-fix.html)

In future I would recommend for you to look at Cyjon's mod Semester Changes. It changes university to be only one semester for each year, rather than two, so in total four semesters instead of eight. Makes it a bit less tedious and your future sims could graduate at the point your sim is getting bored.

(You can also cheat them into their final semester, and let them graduate if you want!)

Or else you can totally cheat and use Christianlov's 'fake diploma' and they get college degrees without the work but with the memory of going to college!

Another mod you might be interested in is the college clock (collegeclock.package) from MATY. It doesn't do anything by itself. You just plop it on your Uni lot and it does nothing until you choose an option.

One option is that when you feel your sim has done enough to pass the semester (skills, assignments and whatnot), you can click the college clock and choose Take Final Now. It will make your sim's Final Exam happen in one or two hours.

This leaves it entirely in your hands. If you're having fun with a particular sim in Uni, you can just play the semesters as normal. But if you're getting bored, you can send them off to take a final whenever they, and you, are ready.

You can any time.
Do you have any UNI mods? There are plenty of mods that shorten UNI.

I live in a country where degrees are usually 3 years rather than 4, so I make many of my sims drop out at the start of their senior year if their grades aren't high enough. I also have a mod that shortens semesters to 48 hours, which helps speed up uni as well.

The default game they get the extra want slot (and lock for finishing 3rd year), and no penalties. I also have a mod I made called Doctors Need Degrees that means that sims with a partial degree still get some work advantages compared to no degree.
