Custom Degrees (Repost - Update)
Added 2025-09-27 10:48:00 +0000 UTCThis mod requires LOT51 Core Library
LANGUAGES:
Spanish by Stephen
UPDATES:
27/09/2025
Repost to rewrite the description, only the books in this mod needed an update, but I wanted to rewrite the STBL, make it easier to install, and finally complete it. Old translations will not work with this new version!
This mod simply adds more degrees to choose from, they work like Maxis, but currently don't give a career bonus, despite the claim to the contrary.
Keep reading for the download links!
Degrees Added:
Humanities (distinguished in Britechester)
Archaeology, Folklore & Mythology, Music Arts, Philosophy, Digital Media, Education, Photography, Painting Arts, Social Justice, Legal Studies (NEW), Fashion & Styling (NEW), Interior Design (NEW)
Scientific(distinguished in Foxbury)
Chemistry, Health and Fitness Science, Veterinary Medicine, Medical Science, Environmental Science, Criminology, Mathematics (NEW), Astrophysics (NEW), Marine Biology (NEW), Games Development (NEW), Botany & Plant Science (NEW), Nutrition & Dietetics (NEW), Animal Behaviour (NEW)
Downloads:
Main File (Required)
Tuning File (Required)
There are two versions, one with Maxis vanilla cost (240) one with my edited cost for the courses (2400), only install one!
DOWNLOAD
Other relevant mods:
Higher Maxis Scholarships (to compensate)
Every course has its own book and presentation:
Because they solely deal with transmitting information to the main University Career on what skills to improve, what presentation to give and what diploma to create, once you join a course, you're inside the Maxis system rather than the mod one.
This means that grades, lessons not taking place, exams not happening or any other issue with the career itself, don't depend on this mod.
Comments
Hi! This is my first time using your mod and I liked the new degrees. As a suggestion, I think it would be good if you added what skills are needed for each degree since not everyone has all the expansions/packs and we choose degrees that will ultimately lead us to nothing more than a terrible F

2025-10-02 04:17:38 +0000 UTCHi, the google drive links arent working in this post
dipsiesnows
2025-10-01 14:17:10 +0000 UTCI'll check, they probably got unlinked because I edited the post from mobile.
Jordan
2025-10-01 01:10:45 +0000 UTChi im not sure if its an issue on my end but the drive links for the courses cost more and higher scholarships isnt working

2025-09-22 22:10:56 +0000 UTCHi! I got a BE error saying that this mod is broken due to an invalid "ScienceUniversity" tuning. I'm still trying to see if it's usable even with the error, but I just wanted to let you know
Rhi
2025-09-14 04:32:32 +0000 UTCAre you planning any update regarding new skills? Or other subjects - even within existing fields? It would be nice to see something thematic instead of throwing logic, charisma, and sports everywhere (bowling, baking, dancing, DJ mixing, instruments - guitar, pipe organs, flower arranging, acting, juice fizzing, rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding, cross-stitch, nectar making, gemology, romance, thanatology, pottery, tattooing, apothecary, natural living, archery, diving, origami, and enthomology - this could really nicely complement fields like nutrition & dietetics, health and fitness, chemistry, environmental science, botany and plant science, or style & fashion).

2025-09-06 20:15:12 +0000 UTChard to say, the homework side is entirely Maxis. Can they do homework for unmodded degrees?
Jordan
2025-08-23 20:47:06 +0000 UTChi, I'm trying to make my sim do his homework and it keeps cancelling out. any idea why?
Arianna Mota
2025-08-23 20:45:03 +0000 UTCThat sometimes happens when the mod is installed mid save. Use the university cheat menu to enroll, that one rerolls the acceptance loot which is the one that isn't updating. Just opening the university selection panel from the cheats fixes it.
Jordan
2025-08-18 09:44:46 +0000 UTCIs there a list of what skills/requirements are needed for Veterinary Medicine? It's greyed out and says my sim doesn't meet the required skills for a distinguished degree. She's maxed out in veterinary skills and all the skills for the biology degree. When I try to pursue a regular Veterinary Medicine degree, it tells me it's distinguished and gives me the same message, even though it isn't. Core library is updated.

2025-08-18 09:07:07 +0000 UTCUpdate the core library.
Jordan
2025-08-05 07:56:39 +0000 UTCwe may need an update for the new Fairies pack. I followed the instructions but the degrees are just not showing up at all, not greyed out, missing entirely. Is anyone else experiencing this?

2025-08-04 19:23:07 +0000 UTCThey're in the new tweaks post.

2025-07-30 02:01:25 +0000 UTCHi Zero :) I hope you are well. I recently deleted my mods folder and have been trying to reinstall your maxis cost more and longer university terms but can't find them anywhere. Are they discontinued?

2025-07-29 20:00:05 +0000 UTCI usually direct people to post them on discord, I grab them from there and add them to the main mods.

2025-07-24 12:03:52 +0000 UTCHey, I made a Polish translation of this mod, could I upload it somehow?

2024-05-31 07:19:04 +0000 UTCI'm having the same problem right now. I was wondering how you were able to resolve the issue?
Naomii
2024-05-31 03:59:39 +0000 UTCSo test it without the tuning file?
Dejae Yates-Dailey
2024-05-10 14:10:10 +0000 UTCThanks for this! It might be helpful to put something about which packs are needed for which degrees because it isn’t entirely clear! :)
Amanda Barrington
2024-05-10 10:09:01 +0000 UTCTest the mod alone with the core library.
Jordan
2024-05-10 05:29:25 +0000 UTCThe two skills for that degree are logic and herbalism. If you don't have OR one of the skills will not show up causing that issue.
Jordan
2024-05-10 05:28:56 +0000 UTCHi, when I try to enroll my sim into one of the degrees it doesn’t show up on the school tab and just takes my money for the class, I have the main package and the tuning file in my mods folder along with the lot 51
Dejae Yates-Dailey
2024-05-10 01:04:24 +0000 UTCHi! My sim was doing Chemistry and one of the courses (I think chemistry and kinetics) does not have a skill attached to it, so she got an F on the course. I got her to redo it in the new term and same thing happened
Amanda Barrington
2024-05-09 21:59:17 +0000 UTCHi! Will you be making the custom degree creation file available at some point for creating more degree?
dipsiesnows
2023-12-14 21:08:22 +0000 UTCall custom degree are unavailable to me, and i tried a lot to make it work. On one of the comment, i think i remember you suggesting to clear the cache or something ? i think the person said it didn't work for them, but ill try it. How i do that ? clear cache from what ? but i have to report it to you, in case clearing the cache wont work

2023-11-20 07:14:35 +0000 UTCIt's a conflict with anotherod overriding the arts and science university tuning.

María Salas
2023-11-17 19:08:42 +0000 UTCYes I have only one tuning, I will keep trying and update if can make it :) Thank you for your time
María Salas
2023-11-17 17:57:30 +0000 UTCCheck if: you have installed one of the tuning packages, you don't have installed both tuning packages.
Jordan
2023-11-17 17:34:38 +0000 UTCHi, im having the same problems as others, when I try to choose a degree all the degrees from this mod are grayed out and I get a message " this is a distinguished degree at this university. Anyone who solved this can help? Ty!

2023-11-11 20:58:04 +0000 UTCIs anyone else getting this message
Caren Joseph
2023-11-11 17:42:01 +0000 UTCI downloaded this for the first time but when I try to choose a degree all the degrees from this mod are grayed out and I get a message " this is a distinguished degree at this university. Your sim's skills are not sufficient to be accepted here. Feel free to join a non-distinguished degree or try another university
Caren Joseph
2023-11-11 17:41:40 +0000 UTCAll the different files means both the tuning files?
Jordan
2023-11-11 15:26:57 +0000 UTCHi, I seem to be having some issues with this mod. I've installed all the different files I need I think, and the new degrees are showing up, however they are all locked off saying that they are distinguished and my sim doesn't have enough skill points to unlock them, even the undistinguished versions have the same message? My sim is also lvl 10 in some skills and quite high in others so I would hope some of the degrees would be unlocked?
Kathryn Brough
2023-11-11 15:24:00 +0000 UTCI feel like EA/Maxis owe you a big old chunk of money, for all the work you put in, filling in the gaps they leave in their expansion packs! I am so grateful for your time, and effort! <3
Kat Bairwell
2023-11-11 11:15:07 +0000 UTCFinally a Medical Science and Animal science degree! I don't feel so alone anymore lol
MarLisa L Martin
2023-11-11 07:54:17 +0000 UTCHi there! I was wondering if there is anywhere in particular to go to for mod support? I'm having some troubles with this mod (i.e. Britechester doesn't show up in the first step of enrollment, there are doubles of the custom degrees, and no electives are listed). Thanks!!

2023-11-11 07:32:38 +0000 UTCThis doesn't touch anything from maxis

2023-11-10 02:11:38 +0000 UTCI don't know about conflicts with other mods, I stopped looking into mods for this game years ago.
Jordan
2023-11-09 04:39:53 +0000 UTCFantastic thanks. I keep getting an BE error saying the tuning mod is conflicting with Lompinou's mods though, that the artsuniversity tuning mod is invalid.

dipsiesnows
2023-11-02 11:12:15 +0000 UTCMaybe, I have the template to make them relatively quickly
Zero_
2023-11-02 11:05:35 +0000 UTCWill you be planning on creating/adding more custom degrees like Accounting & Finance, etc?
dipsiesnows
2023-11-02 11:04:17 +0000 UTCYes. Those files aren't required anymore because I used the core library to inject the majors. Make sure to have the version 1.12 minimum of the core library.

2023-11-01 19:21:06 +0000 UTCI already have the 2 files that are in the depreciated google folder.. should I delete these from my game when updating this mod?
