Has anyone been able to help poor Jane?
ZephyrZodiac:
I've just been playing SimState yet again, and I've replayed the Brights yet again, and I still come up with the same problem, poor Jane Stacks, no matter how many skill points she gets, can't fill the meter as it seems permanently stuck at the bottom until I send her to take her exam, at which point of course, she gets put on Academic Probation which is totally undeserved! I've tried messing around in SimPE, but haven't come up with anything that works!
Really pisses me off - I've bone idle sims who don't want to do anything but sit in a hot-tub all day, and they graduate Summa Cum Laude, but Jane tries so hard! And even though Allegra and Martin work hard too, they never seem to get full marks.
So I wondered, has anyone found a foolproof way to get them all the Graduated with Honors memory? (I don't mind cheating to beat Maxis cheating, but I'd like them to actually get the final exam grade themselves!)

Sim PE neighbohood memory it allows you to edit your sims memories permanently. but be sure to also go to the sim browser and get the stats changed on the Uni Tab of the sim you want to change roll the gradepoint average to 4.0 and type # 8 in the semester box to take final exam roll the time left in semester to 1 hour and commit changes reenter uni and send sim to final exam if you do it this way ie have sim take the final exam you wont need to edit the meory if they have already graduated the full steps are necessary

Thanks, that's basically what I tried to do, but at the earlier stage, when they've just moved in. I can't see why, when I've had sims whose grade has fallen to 3.5 do well in the next exam and go back up to 4.0, these three seem fated to only gain between 0.1 and0.3 per semester! It's definitely been fiddled, and I wish they wouldn't do that kind of thing! I wouldn't mind if they did it to really horrible, nasty sims, but these three just don't deserve it!
Renatus:
Have you tried TwoJeff's college adjuster? It allows you to set semester, semester grade, and GPA from within the game.
I also remember one of my sims once having the problem where her bar just wouldn't increase... this was a random townie I had sent to college. I don't think I bothered trying to get her to work as I stopped playing that neighborhood soon after, but I have to wonder if it's something wrong with the sim, or with the lot or something.
ZephyrZodiac:
Thanks Renatus, I'll try that. I think it's the sim herself who's got something wrong, as I tried putting them all into a new house and nothing changed! When I tried to change everything in SimPE, it actually made it worse! In the case of the Brights, I do think they were deliberately made so that this would happen, but in some cases I think it's maybe just a sporadic fault.
