Adult loses college-earned want slots after moving into new home
ZephyrZodiac:
As I said, moving furniture is beset with problems! I think mine got so completely bugged because i tried moving the family car too, and not just from one lot to another, but from Downtown to Pleasantview! (Pleasantview is much nicer for bringing up kids!)

the family car definitely has presented problems for me before when I loaded it up into the inventory I.end up not being able to use the car in inventory and have to buy another one just to sell one of the cars.so now if Imove my sim the family car gets left behind

Getting back to the original issue, I have a sim who was initially a University NPC student who moved in with her boyfriend, who had graduated from University. She has all the bonuses of a regular graduate, the extra want slots and the ability to lock two, but she's not able to get any of the University careers. I haven't been able to use the college adjuster or the lot debugger, and I assume this is because she has the extra slots and the ability to lock two wants. She also has "Undeclared" as her major listed on her diploma, whereas the other few University NPC students I've moved in with adults have had majors assigned to them.
Does anyone know a fix that would enable her to browse the University careers? I'm not looking for a hack that allows me to choose careers individually, instead just a fix that enables her to get them when she's searching for a job. Oddly, when she looks for a job on the computer, she does not get five options when a graduate has already searched for jobs and discovered some of the University careers offered.

if you have Sim PE the undeclared is easily fixed and right there is her problem. Undeclared might as well never have gone to Uni as Majors Must be firmly in place by the Junior year. Uni Careers are only available to Graduates with a declared Major..Go in to Sim PE click neighborhood browser then select the neighborhood the sim lives in. it will be listed by name. after SimPE loads the selected neighbor hood go to tool open it click neighborhood a little window will open with 3 options one will be unavailable. click sim browser. it will take a minute or tw0 for simpe to load the sim rowser . time is dependant upon how many sims live in the neighborhood which includes service people,NPC's and townies as well as playable sims. click onthe Sims Picture that is afflicted with this problem. then click open it will take a minute but Sim PE will load the sim description for the selected sim. click the University Tab it will list the sims major how many hours are left in the semester last grade and effort. cliick on ththe drop down tab where it says major and select the major the sim actually got the diploma for. reset grade point average if neeed be and semester stats ie hours left if any thing more than 0 appears in semeste r 8 . commit the changes and close SimPE a box will pop up asking if you want to save changes made click yes when Sim PE is done saving the changes it automatically closes. when you re enter your game send your sim to read the diploma it should reflect the major in it at that point rather than undeclared. and Uni careers will automatically be available at that point.

Yes, this fix works. Thank you for your help.
However, the diploma doesn't have the major updated, and for some reason putting the thing back into her inventory didn't fix it. I was able to get a new diploma with the major after deleting her first one and purchasing a second (when I had her selected) through a hacked career rewards collection.
I don't believe that the diploma reading improperly had any effect on her ability to get the new jobs, however, after I had set the major.
