And I think I need to lower the minimum scores for my sims. I just don't get them the skills they need as much. Hadley and Lainey are both hard workers in the academic field, and they both just barely skated in. Where I would have thought with all the scholarships that Lainey is receiving, that she would have been eligible for the half-tuition. <br /><br />Hadley scored a 45, and Lainey a 43 (because she's not as well-rounded with hobbies/job/badges). I think I'll take your system but lower it to 30 minimum for entrance, because I think of mine as a state school anyway, and then 50 for half-tuition, and 60 for full-pay. Otherwise I don't think I'll have any college students, other than Lainey, Hadley, and Alice. The rest are all pretty mediocre. <br /><br />Thanks for writing this all up! It was fun to see how mine rank!maisiehttp://www.retromaisie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-17478686783226944472012-05-11T08:51:49.579+10:002012-05-11T08:51:49.579+10:00The pics are loading for me, even after a hard ref...The pics are loading for me, even after a hard refresh, so maybe your browser just burped or something! There's no info in the pics anyway - I just put them in to break up the text a little. :)<br /><br />With the Harder Grades hack, they each have a core skill they should be improving. I've never figured it out with children but with teens, it's usually the skill associated with their hobby, I believe. Josh, for example, is a Fitness Sim, and he was getting pretty crappy grades until I had Max take him out for a game of basketball to earn some body points. So that's something to try, if you want some star students. ;) And you'll have to let me know how this system works out for your teens!<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-54640197780235829272012-05-11T08:04:01.108+10:002012-05-11T08:04:01.108+10:00Ok!

Probably just me, wouldn't be the first time, but just in case, thought I'd throw it out there. I'm going to try your system out with my sims, but have it be less difficult, because well, I suck at homework for my sim kids, and with the harder grade hacks, I am having a horrible time getting my sim kids to get higher than a B, and that's just being too nice to myself, I have a lot of C's right now, even with kids with skills, hobby's, great moods, and doing homework. I'm a lousy sim-mom. I am going to try this though with Hadley and the other upper class kids.maisiehttp://www.retromaisie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-88971584457394492312012-05-09T16:34:18.395+10:002012-05-09T16:34:18.395+10:00I'm looking forward to reading about how you T...I'm looking forward to reading about how you TS3ers make university work in your hoods!

I'll need to reread the thread at N99 but you all gave me some good ideas to change up my system, too. I might have to wait a while because I can't remember if my teens' skills were inflated when I started blogging the hood. I know I randomized a bunch of my pre-made sims' skills, so I don't want to set the bar too high for the future generations.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07006019503835147657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-25016851958794787492012-04-29T08:48:51.107+10:002012-04-29T08:48:51.107+10:00I started working on it the same day I saw Starr&#...I started working on it the same day I saw Starr's post, so this has been on my mind for well over a week now!

If teens I can't picture getting into college start getting in, I might consider raising the admission requirement.

I'm pretty excited to start using it and to expand it. The old system was not confusing to me (but then, I developed it) but this new system has many more ways in which I can use it. Figuring out who gets the Governor's Grant, for example, as well as making the post-graduate courses harder to get into. I haven't decided on the details of the latter yet though.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and commenting!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140819019098738245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968444616198803470.post-77277433724576163032012-04-28T08:52:59.307+10:002012-04-28T08:52:59.307+10:00You've been having too much trouble with your ...You've been having too much trouble with your game lately.
