The same what I wrote yestarday - MTS2 has server problems, you may often get an incomplete or even empty file. In such case redownload after a while or (better) get the mod direct at my site - Simsky.parsimonious.org .

I tried it...my simmie had to skip a class or two and pulled the occasional all nighter -- but it worked. But hey, it adds to the realism. I remember pulling a few all nighters to finish term papers when I was at college. Those were the days! :D

The only sim who ever used this free college time was a romance sim, dating poor "victims" to complete his LTW of 20 simultaneous lovers. The others only get bored, since they already meet the skill requirements + finish their term paper in less than a day. No more meditating and fast forwarding.

Thank you so much!

OH my gosh I can't thank you ENOUGH for this! And JUST as all my young adults for this generation graduated! haha

I wish I had this a few days ago! But the future will be easier now.. Thank you!! <3 Its about time someone came out with this mod :D! I loved the idea (and benefits!) of sending my Sims to college, but after their first semester I would have them drop out because it was SO boring.

Thank you SO much!

Dave, thank you for doing this. Will you be adding the other two versions you mentioned on post #27? I'd really like to use the 24 hour version of this mod.

Just send me an email (you can find my address e.g. at my website) and I will send you the 24-hr file by email. I'm not going to public release the other 2 versions.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This has to be the crowning glory of all the mods I've used! You have no idea how happy you have made me! There really are so many different ways to build up skills and fill the study bar, that I actually enjoy playing Uni! EA really should have given us a patch with the option to vary the length of each semester. 24 hours is simply perfect!

Has anyone else been having problems with this mod? I just put it in today. The semester clock says "48 hours left"... But the problem is... It ALWAYS says it- It never goes down! I don't have any other Uni mods as far as I know (I do have a fair number of mods otherwise, including insim and inteen), so I don't know what the problem could be. Does it only work for sims just sent to Uni? Because two sims in this household are already in their second semester of Freshman year, while the other is in his first. It doesn't change while they're in the dorm, nor does it change on community lots. Any ideas?

Edit: Oh, I forgot to mention my eps. I have Uni, NL, Pets, OFB, BV, and Holiday Stuff... In case that helps.

Wow. I just recovered this username after nearly four years of this account being inaccessible... Oh happy day!
(Btw, PsychoKatie and Psycho_Katie = same person. A site-wide glitch messed up accounts four years ago and I had to remake one...)

One of your hacks replaced the BHAV part of my mod, while the BCON part is loaded. If a mod changes the same BHAV routine as mine, the semester duration settings (48 hours) will apply after finishing the current semester (after finishing the first semester when a Sim is novice). The active semester duration is set to 72 hours in such case, even when showing 48 hours - the counter will start to decrement after 24 hours.

It is described in entry #49 in more details.

Oooh okay. I'll try it for a sim-day and see if it works. Thanks!
