Ever since I released SimU: Online Degrees & Skill Classes almost 2 years ago, I've learned so much, and I've been wanting to do more with it since. So here's the release candidate: a brand-new mod, built from scratch, that includes a TON of features. And the best part? It's 100% Base Game Compatible, with full mod and pack compatibility too.

This is not an update to the original SimU—it’s a completely new system designed to feel intentional, flexible, and genuinely rewarding.

SimU transforms higher education into something that actually feels academic: structured, self-paced, and shaped by effort rather than arbitrary timers.

✨ What’s included:
13 fully custom degree programmes, each with their own focus and progression
6 modules per degree, featuring custom coursework and assignments
No deadlines—progress at your own pace, with rewards for dedication
Honors outcomes for Sims who consistently put the work in
Custom Academic Skill that unlocks new study methods, interactions, and opportunities
Career boosts tied to your degree results
Study groups & rabbit hole activities for realistic academic routines
Custom textbooks & coursework notebooks to anchor everything in gameplay
An unlockable career for Sims who excel at Academic Aptitude
Learn ANY Skill without having to enroll for a degree—just pay the one-off registration fee to access the available tools!
Study for your GED online if your Sim drops out of High School. I've included the option to drop out via a Computer → High School, so that Teens can easily pick up their education online, as that's only currently available if you have High School Years.

Every interaction, notification, and objective has been written to feel realistic while keeping with The Sims style. All icons are Maxis Match and are either directly from the game or edits of game icons.

I have written a guide to the mod here, which has more information if you would like to take a look. Thank you, as always, for supporting my work—SimU genuinely wouldn’t exist without you.
