Custom University Electives
A downloadable "The Sims 4" game mod
Current Mod Version: 1.12.0
Last Update: July 23, 2024
What does this mod do?
I like it when different mods don't stay isolated but are integrated into the common gameplay. This mod adds some new electives to two universities, and includes the forgotten EA skills as well as custom skills from various popular mods. This mod is fully compatible with Zer0's University Custom Degrees mod. Only the Sims 4 Discover University Expansion Pack is required. The other packages or mods are optional. Each course ends with either an exam or a written assignment. No presentations are planned.
Last Update Notes
Update Notes v. 1.11.1
I discovered that the last version wasn't fully compatible with DX11 after all, and I had to increase the resolution of some course icons. Also, I somehow forgot the addon for courses from EP01 (only in the Standard Costs version). Please reload all files (Core + Classes). Also, the religion course from the Rambunctious Religions Mod by Lumpinou has strangely disappeared from the course selection list. No idea when or how I deleted it.
New Skill Classes
According to the voting results, Tomaru Skill was the undisputed leader. Although the Retail Maintenance Skill came in second place, I put it aside for now until the next update. Instead, I couldn't resist a new ballet skill, recently created by Jane Simsten, even though this skill wasn't even ranked. Thus, meet new wonderful university courses:
- Amphetamine Dealing Skill (Basemental Drugs Mod)
- Balett Skill (Balett Mod by Jane Simsten)
- HVAC Skill (Plumbbros Mod by Lot 51)
- Tomaru Skill (Language Barriers by Frankk)
Redesign of Language Courses
As I understand it, the courses from the Language Barriers mod are among the favorites among users of my custom courses. Therefore, a special surprise for you! All languages (with the exception of Sixami) are now offered in two versions: an intensive crash course (only available to Sims with a language skill of less than 2), as well as various specific specialized courses that will only be available to Sims with a language skill of 3 and above. That is, your Sims will never see both options. Thus, this update contains, in addition to the four new courses mentioned above, also six new language courses.

Content of the Archive
The mod consists of several modules, some of which conflict with each other. Please read the instruction very carefully and delete the unnecessary files!
The mod consists of several modules:
- File: New University Electives CORE (required)
Choose one of the two:
- Folder: Classes EA Skills with More Costs (option 1)
- Folder: Classes EA Skills with Standard Costs (option 2)
Choose one of the two:
- Folder: Classes Custom Skills with More Costs (option 1)
- Folder: Classes Custom Skills with Standard Costs (option 2)
Choose one of the two:
- Folder: Classes Adult Skills with More Costs (option 1)
- Folder: Classes Adult Skills with Standard Costs (option 2)
All courses are therefore available in two cost variants:
- EA Costs: All courses cost 240 Simolions by default (like all EA courses)
- More Costs: All courses cost more expensive (like Zero's mod)
All you have to do is install one cost variant and delete the other!
The adult courses are not part of the download archive on CurseForge. These are distributed exclusively via Patreon as downloadable addons.
Important instructions!
After downloading and unpacking the zip archive, you will find several package files!
All courses are in separate files. So you can decide for yourself which courses you want to have. If you don't have some mods which skills my university courses are based on, then you should DELETE the corresponding course packages!
During the testing I did not see any serious game crashes, but if you delete the foreign mods (also from other creators) to which a university course refers, or the course package from this mod after you have already started a corresponding course (including NPCs, if some NPC have taken one of these courses), this can lead to error messages when the game is loaded. This can only be fixed by leaving the all affected Sims out of university and re-saving the game.
So please only install the courses if you have the corresponding third-party mods!

Update to the link for Realistic Swimming, Ilkavelle - https://ilkavelle.wixsite.com/simsquest/post/realistic-swimming-v2-0-early-acces...
I'm looking forward to trying ballet. I wouldn't have found the mod without seeing it included here.
You are a STAR for this! Thank you! And as an oboe player I especially appreciate that custom skill. 😌
hi! i just want to let you know that when i try to re-enroll my YA sims back into college its glitches out and won't let me re-enroll them. i did the 50/50 method and its your mod so i had to take it out the game just letting you know
Hello! Can you explain the problem in a little more detail?
hi! so, my sim was kicked out of school, she was not able to re-enroll until her 5 days was up which is normal but when I try to re-enroll her when the cool down was done it just wouldn't let me do it. I would click on the enroll button that pops up in the UI and nothing would happen then I would try to re-enroll her on the pc and in the middle of her doing so she would just reset, and nothing would happen.
This is a known issue in the game and has nothing to do with my mod. I had this before before I even created this mod. I’ll see if I can find a solution for this.
I'm sorry i believe it was my own doing i had a zero mod that made uni cost more and i didn't realize it even after doing the 50/50 method i still didn't find it until i went through each folder and found it and i fixed the problem and it works wonders now thank you so much for this amazing mod !
