Another one of your fantastic mods! Will lifetime aspirations for the college-related careers also be available?

I still hope that you or someone can come up with a mod to set lifetime aspirations.

At last! I always feel cheated when I move in someone from the college 'townies' and they don't bring their diploma. Thank you for the fix!

Awesome! The being stuck at four wants for sims that didn't to to college was really annoying to me, and now I can fix that.

Maker of non-realistic eyes and lots of sims!

Awesome!

I second the comment about a mod to set lifetime aspirations. That would be beyond wonderful, not to mention more realistic.

There was a hack called "College Adjuster", which looked like a stack of 'phone books. I think it was on this site but now it's gone. You could essentially pick a new lifetime adjustment at random and keep trying until you got what you wanted. The college-based career lifetime aspirations didn't show up though, and the lifetime aspirations were related to the main aspiration (Knowledge,Fortune,Family, etc) For a family sim you got a lot of raise children, golden anniv, etc. For a knowledge sim you would get the science and medicine. There are some hacks to change main aspiration (and then back again) to get around this. Let's hope christianlov is reading this... If so, please, oh please, and thanks in advance

This sounds really interesting. It is annoying when I make an adult family (elder parents with adult kids) and they can't have graduated college. Three questions:
1) Will this give them any memories of graduating, even if the graduation is just the last thing on the list as if they went to night school or something. (Rereading, it appears that this one is a yes.)
2) Will this show up on their aging bar as having had college time? (I was looking at the pictures and the last picture showed that it does.)
3) This is the one that I am most interested in. My sister and I had a sim couple that had to move out of their house suddenly (the lot wouldn't load). Their diplomas were on the wall and so they no longer have diplomas. They have everything else from their time in college, including his not quite perfect GPA (3.8 or something, he was our first in college). Would the "counterfit diplomas" pretty much act like real ones or are there other functions besides view?

Perfect! I don't usually use cheats, but I've never been happy about the fact that townie sims (INLCUDING COLLEGE PROFESSORS) are never college grads And I don't like hacks that have lots of different functions, so I've avoided the college adjuster etc. This was just what I've been waiting for

yes, it gives "graduated with summa cum laude" or something like that memory to the graduate sim and its family members

you can change major (also you can select the same major again) and get one more diploma. It will put a same real diploma into the inventory.

I've had this item for a while, but ever since I installed IKEA Home Stuff, it causes an error whenever I try to counterfeit a diploma. It does register that the sim "went to college" but the error seems to be caused by the hack trying to put the diploma in the sim's inventory. Is there any way this can be fixed?
