If your teenage Sim is at the top of their class and has the Overachiever trait, you gotta send them to university. You can unlock additional career paths by attending university-level classes.
Is it possible to send your teen Sim to university? That would be the natural thing to do if they excel academically. Let’s see if the game lets you do that.
Can teenagers go to University in Sims 4?
Teenagers cannot go to University in The Sims 4. They can only attend University after aging up into young adults. Only young adults, adults, and elders can study at university.
However, teenage Sims can apply to university while still in high school. This option is available a week before aging up. If they get accepted, they can enroll as soon as they age up.
Teens can apply to university only if aging is on.
How can teens prepare for university in Sims 4?
Teenage Sims can prepare for university by leveling up their skills and applying for scholarships. The option to apply for a scholarship is available after reaching Level 3 in the given skill but acceptance is not guaranteed.
To increase your Sim’s chances of getting a scholarship, increase their skills to Level 5 and above.
The game sends your teenage Sim’s application to both universities. After receiving the acceptance letter, they can decide which university and degree they want to pursue.
Alternatively, if your Sim doesn’t have the required skill level, they can apply for a Need-Based Scholarship. There are two options available: Education for All and Helping Hand.
Getting a university loan is a good idea if your Sim is low on funds.
Disable aging while at university
University typically takes a long time in The Sims 4. If you don’t want your Sim to spend their entire young adult life at university, disable aging after moving on the campus.
