Careers & Skills

• The fastest way to earn grade points is hacking into your grades using a computer. Group research with 5 Sims can also be very efficient use of time.
• When trying to build Influence, look for Wants & Fears which are surrounded with a blur border.
• A high body skill Sim can earn big money as a Personal Trainer at the campus gym, but will also gain more body skill at the same time!

Personalities

• Sims who have been to college can be identified by an extra age icon below their portrait.
• Influencing a rejected kiss can be valuable when trying to break up other Sims' relationships. 
   

Death

• Don't spend more than §8,513 on the Ressurect-O-Nomitron, as spending more will not decrease the chance of a Zombie appearance!

Build Mode

• To use Build Mode on a Dorm you need to use the cheat code: boolProp dormSpecificToolsDisabled false
• Dorm room doors remain unlocked for all Sims to enter until you instruct your Sim to lock it.
• Be sure to place a sprinkler above the Counterfeit Machine.. They burn up regularly!
• With University, walls can be built above existing walls without the need to add flooring first.
