Then the semester progress thing said "Returning Home" and they didn't get into the taxi. I don't have any other University hacks!


I'm also having the same issue. I have no other university hacks or any kind, nor do I have inteen which is known to conflict with hacks like this. I have all legit copies or sims 2, all EPs and SPs. I'm also using the 24 hour one. I've tried giving my sim a party, and I've tried going to the phone to make them move back to the main hood.

My problem is that he grows up into an adult, but no taxi comes for him at all. It is a band new and fresh neighborhood. I have tried moving him into another dorm while the hack was still installed. and I have tried removing the hack and then move him into another dorm. and it still doesn't work.

How do I get my sim out of college? I was starting a new legacy with him?

I've heard some people had this kind of problems without having any hacks in the game. So I expect it's a random game bug. If you removed my hack and it still happens, it can't be caused by the hack. I expect you have University patch + other Maxis patches installed.

Oh. Well, either way. I have found a fix for it. I used the moveobjects on cheat and deleted him, before leaving the lot and saving and then returning. Then it worked and he could leave ^^

Maybe you should post in the main topic for other people that this is not a bug with your hack and how I said I got it to be fixed. So that in the future people don't think it's your hack ^^ Sorry for the misunderstandings.

I'd like to report a problem I encountered -
I downloaded the 36 Hour one, and went right into my game. I only played one household so it's possible this only affected one house, but I didn't want to risk it.
The semester timer was reset to the very beginning, and the timer was set to 36 hours until the final exam. No surprise there. What -was- surprising was the timer would not move! My YAs are permanently stuck with 36 hours left! Just thought I'd tell you!

This happens if another hack overwrites one part of my hack. InTeen has this behavior. If you want to use both hacks together, the game must load my hack after InTeen. To do it, place both hacks into one folder and rename the .package of my hack - add zzzzz_ before the original file name.

You are my SAVIOR. My two Uni-testers (Lucy Burb and her initially-unintended girlfriend) had already maxed out some skills, so by the time they ENTERED Junior year, all they had left to do was basically write their term papers and do tons of assignments/research until my eyes bled from their sockets out of boredom.

Putting this into effect immediately.

Ahhh, I really wanted this to work but it's not. I downloaded it, extracted the files, and put them in the downloads folder, but my sims still have like 114 hours for each semester. I restarted the game multiple times, but I still get the same result. Is there a special folder I have to place it in or something...? 0.o

Do you have custom content enabled among game settings?
If you use other hacks, e.g. InTeen, read my previous reply.

Thank you so much for this! I enjoy playing the colleges....but it gets to be so darned long! This will help a lot! I took the 2 day mod, as although the one day mod sounds appealing, I don't think I'd be able to get my sims to get all the neccesary work to pass their classes done in such a short amount of time. And even if I could, my poor university sims would have virtually no time for fun!

My first reaction (without your mod):
1st day: YAYY!! My Sims are on college!
2nd day: Dude... how many days 'till summer... -.-

And I started aging my teenage Sims immediately to adults. You know, without going to University.

But when I found this...

My second reaction (with your mod):
1st day: Ok... so what we got here...
2nd day: Oh my God! He's going on academic probration! Quickly, you idiot, start writing that term paper! Yay, University life is exciting again!

Thank you for this mod.

Honestly when I first saw this I thought "wow these people are overreacting, college can't take that long."
I played college, and after one semester of freshman year I came back here to download the one semester=24 hours mod.

How horrible the actual time frame is!! I mean, your sim will spend more time in college than they will as a baby, child, and adult put together!! It's ridiculous.
THANK YOU X A MILLION for the mod.

in sims pack clean installer, this mod is listed in red which means it could severely damage the game, is this normal?
