What's new

Added

- Discover University Psychology degree entry benefits: Psychology starts at level 3, Psychology with Honors at 4, Distinguished Psychology at 4, and Distinguished Psychology with Honors at 5.
- Native eligible-join signing bonuses of 1570, 1727, 1963 and 2041 Simoleons respectively, using EA's shared seven-day cooldown.
- Native degree pay, PTO-accrual and work-performance tuning on the psychologist career levels. Actual shift results have not yet been reported as verified.

Compatibility and safeguards

- Degree integration is scoped to Naxtralius Psychologist Career. Existing starting modifiers, native history candidates and explicit entry overrides remain respected.
- Signing awards run only after eligible new joins. They are not attached to promotion or load callbacks. Repeated and recursive join attempts are guarded.
- The original package remains byte-identical. Base salaries, level definitions, three branches, traits, interactions and reward resources have not been edited.
- Python 3.7 source and bytecode were rebuilt reproducibly. No previous mod copy or external mod library is required.

Verification and known limitations

The author reports successful single-degree entry and signing tests, one Honors leave/rejoin without a second bonus, one save/load sequence, and one existing level-6 Clinical Practitioner upgrade on game build 1.128.90.1030. All 26 automated host tests pass; they do not replace in-game testing.

In the employee test, title, level and displayed salary stayed intact, while promotion progress changed from 22 to 0. The author's old-version comparison also failed to preserve progress. This remains an unresolved baseline observation, not a confirmed new regression or proof that the update is unaffected. No speculative progress fix was made.

Live Base Game-only operation, full work benefits, all branches and rewards, combined degrees, cooldown expiry, promotion/init duplicate-payment cases and other injectors still need verification. Compatibility with untested game patches is not claimed.
