University Costs More

My first annoyance with the pack... yeah.... classes cost was a joke, they all cost 240... not anymore:

Class A - 1240

Class B - 1480

Class C - 1720

Class D - 1960

Class E - 2200

Class F - 2440

Class G - 2680

Class H - 2920

Class I - 3160

Class J -3400

Class K - 3640

Class L - 3880

Total Cost: 30720

Electives cost changes based on a way it seems logic to me, so, for example, where Vampire Lore class is the most expensive one (5200) along with Gourmet Cooking (4000, cooking school is expensive) and Piano, Violin and other artistic classes, Handiness and Flower Arranging are cheap (1500)

How to tune the mod to your liking:

Open the mod in S4Studio, you'll see a lot of files. Every class has a Tuning file and a SimData file:

In the tuning, search for the "cost" line and change the value:

Default at 240 in game. In the SimData file, search for the "cost" line and change the value to the same one you put in the corresponding tuning (they have the same name and instance ID):

Tedious but easy, since you have to edit every single one of them.

UPDATED:

24/12 Added: Repo_fix 

I was told that if you increase the cost of the classes, and the loan, the repoman still calls even if you make a payment. This because the repoman calls if your debt is equal or over 50 in any case, and the interaction to pay the loan asks you to pay at least the 6% of the loan... 'course the repoman is going to call if the loan is so high. 

This fix is tuned for my mod, it increases the value in the test to 2500, so the repoman will call if your debt is more or equal of 2500. Tuning this is tricky because can't know exactly how much your loan is going to be, but this fix can also be used with other mods that increase the cost of classes.

You need both if you want them to cost the same!

Jordan

If I also use your custom degrees and downloaded the Custom Degrees Tuning Costs More, will it conflict with the costs more option from this? Or do we need both because one affect the EA degrees and the other the Custom ones?

Bellaluna McKenzie

Depends on what you want, one is only the major, the other is only the electives. The last one is a fix you only need if you have problems

Jordan

which of the files i should download just one or the 3 of them

conkerlikeN64

There is one in the tweaks and fixes post.

Zero_

Yep that's still into maxis system

Zero_

Is there a higher scholarships mod to go with it? Cause now that I've changed the course prices, the scholarships are a joke :)

KathyLovesCats

wondering the same cant seem to find any info on it so i am going to assume yes

isabel_isafatty

Do we still need the repo fix if we're using the Custom University Degree mod?

Prahkeet-Mama P Sims

Does this work w/ the latest patch?

BlackPiano

You might have a conflict since this overrides maxis tuning... Try a test with this mod alone in the folder

Zero_

Zero, I'm wondering if the Main Classes mod might be out of whack. I've never had trouble with it before, but I recently used your whole new Majors sytem and redownloaded the whole thing. The majors are all working; the elective classes cost more; the scholarships are higher; but the main classes are still like normal EA costs. I noticed that the file seems to be missing an _ after the University_CostsMore in the Main Package file, but don't know if that would do it or not. Anyway, just FYI.

DCExpat24

It's not a zip file. Just drop it into your mod folder.

Zero_

hey I just became a patreon and tried downloading the higher tuition mod but nothings there. it won't open?

Ron Gillis

No app is required. Just download it and put it into your mod folder, it's not zipped.

Zero_

Lenora Wright

This is not in English

Alyssa Medina

Do i have to do all of that or can i just put it in my cc folders and will still work?

jordan blac

Just download the packages and put them into the mod folder and you're fine for this one. For other mods, if it's a .zip or .rar file then you need to unzip it and put the packages into your mod folders, if a ts4script is included too, then you have to put both the package and the script in the folder.

Zero_

Hi! I’m new to the Sims 4. I’ve never modded before... how do I download this mod? More detail the better :)

Kelsey

Not possible in any way. Do you have two sims attending two different uni in the same house? because teasing each other about that is maxis default behavior.

Zero_

For some reason, this mod makes my sims very angry and easily irritable. If I don't monitor my sims interactions, they'll default to making each other mad.

Jana Schraders

Just put in game. Instructions are only if you want to edit it further

Zero_

do you have to put the mod into S4Studio or can you just put it into your game?

Lola Clark

I am seeing this too - don't know if its the mod or not at this point.

Elizabeth Killinger

So I'm having a really hard time paying loans back, because the game will tell me I missed the payment even if I just paid a couple hours prior. Sends the repoman, still. I'm wondering if this is related to the mod, because it almost seems like the game assumes that payments were missed just because the balance is large. Anyone else seeing this?

janyses

Not that I'm aware of...

Zero_

I have this mod and tuition didn’t change. The scholarship mod works fine. Does this mod conflict with anything else?

Nigeria Simone

Hi Zero. I have your higher tuition mod installed. Right now my sim owes $40k in student loans which is super realistic! However, when going to make a loan payment, her minimum payment is like $2,500. If possible, would you consider creating a mod that lowers the minimum student loan payment? Thanks.

Miss Mani

I don't even know if it needs updating yet.

Zero_

will you be updating the mod for the new patch

EvasiveDirector1 :P

Would it be possible to make university housing more expensive too? I feel like rent should be like 2,000

BellaDovah

Im glad this mod is really customizable to your liking, you can even decide if you want electives to be more expensive or both or regular classes.

Bunii

the main includes all the main classes and the electives one includes the optional classes, it's all bundled in, they're not zipped, just put the packages in the folder.

Zero_

Just a quick question. Do I have to pick separately with the mods or can I put both in my mods folder?

Sademäärä

Thank you!

Lina

thanks!

Zero_

I went on to add a second zero at the end of each number and found out you missed Communications Class B! Thought you'd like to know. Love your mods!

Roge Mesmo

Sort the files for instance, they should be in order one tuning file and one data file. Or sort them by name (they have the same name) to sort them, click on the tab above the files list.

Zero_

I tried opening the mod in Sims4Studio, but it only had SimsData files. I don't know how to update the tuning files...

Sarah Faire

Someone posted a tool to easy change the price of a lot of them all together. If you're willing to wait a bit, I'll look into that tool and post a tutorial about it, so you'll not have to manually change 400 files.

Zero_

i cant seem to find out how to modify it in S4S

Queen Oliver

you can modify values with sims4studio, there is no reason to make another version of mod

Tigerus

would it be possible for you to make another version, i love the idea but its just i feel as if it can be too much for some people, do you think you can make one thats half price of this?

Natalie Yeager

I can look into it again but it doesn't seem so.

Zero_

I think she was just giving an example of how all the classes together will equal a more expensive tuition in the long run.

CarlyTho

I love the mods!!! btw amazing work!

Graham Antaya

can someone explain to me the A,B,C courses are their different versions of the same course ? I am just wanting to tweak the cost

Graham Antaya

So they do... I wanted to know this actually for another mod... Do they count as much as normal classes? I'll look into this, but I think I'd rather increase the credits requirements for graduation maybe (I think I remember that some courses require to take a couple of optional classes for graduation in real life)

Zero_

Great mod, thank you for making it :) Do you think it would be possible to create one to make elective courses not count for credits? I'm not that experienced so I have no clue lol

Allyssa Paige

That'd be awesome.

Zero_

Hi, I'm trying to create small app which allows to create XML files from CSV to easily change all costs at the same time.

Tigerus

Ma prego! Fa strano scrivere in italiano visto che da un bel po' scrivo solo in inglese, ahahah.

Zero_

Ho letto che parlavi di Italia quindi commento in italiano :p Grazie per le tue mod e il lavoro che fai per crearne sempre di nuove e mantenere aggiornate quelle già pubbliche. Grazie ♥

Mavi Bachis

Thank you so much for this mod!!

anaesthes

This is exactly what I was hoping you'd make! Thank you so much!

TheLibrarian

THIS is amazing!...YOU are amazing!. Thank you!

Anastacia Love

ur the BEST THANK U

m3wlissa

You're my hero! I needed this so bad!

Cheyanne Hodge

I don't think I'll ever use servos...

Zero_

maybe an obedience servos mod

Cynel

Thank you!!! I havent enrolled yet because of this!!

Julissa

yup, got a 10000 loan applying to 4 classes.

Zero_

Thank you for this! Does the loan system still work with these updated costs?

Brodie Smart

I have a lot of patience.

Zero_

'Course... how much should it be (we don't get much money in Italy from scholarship)

Zero_

lol, I wrote a novella in your comments and by the time I was done, you managed to make a mod. This is beautiful. I feel pain just looking at this and I'm delighted that my sims will suffer as I did. Although, a small suggestion - is it possible to scale the scholarships with this? My sim got a $600 scholarship and she got a buff for getting a big scholarship and I found it hysterical, but also deeply confused and wondered if anyone at EA had ever *been* to college and if so, in what century.

naltamire

yeah I don't know yet... but I'll investigate it

Zero_

Omg wow lol.

Angel

If your doing uni mods could you make it so that the new smart glasses to more they are like a computer but you can only do some interactions it would be cool if you could use the whole computer thing on them? (if you don't know what I'm talking about max out the new computer science career)

You sat there going through 390 files? Dedicated! I was just going to use a script to batch them in groups instead, lol. Great job.

MizoreYukii

I use the xml extractor... search for a hint, like I searched for the classes cost to find the tuning files for them. They are in the EP08\university_course_data folder

Zero_

Thanks a lot for this! I couldn't find what are the files to tune this hahaha I'm pretty bad at finding this kind of stuff hahaha

Marco Cantillo

This is perfect, thank you!

Sigmund

Yes! Thank you.
