Factoids and Statistics on Skill Gaining
dizzy:
Uni is hardly any challenge at all now if you do like I do and have 2 autumn seasons a year. If you start the year with autumn, they'll start first year with autumn and have that same season again just before their last year (assuming you don't mess with the clock much).
Combine autumn + the golden books + thinking cap and you should be able to easily max their skills in no time. ;D

I've found it makes an enormous difference in Uni. With the autumn boost, one term paper and 2 assignments or one class fill up the grade meter completely. I've been able to send sims to finals with almost 60 hours left in the semester. With this boost I can get a student through a year of uni in less than an hour playing time without using 'rampage' at all.
Not sure why using or not using "Rampage" makes any difference, since rampage isn't doing anything you can't do manually, you just don't have to manually queue anything.

Well, sure, if you want to make it easy, you can do perma-autumn. But no one said life had to be easy. Besides, when was Uni ever hard? The idea of making it harder is currently being pursued.

Strictly speaking, you can't actually have the Gold Book until it's way too late anyway. You'd need to actually do the Edumacation career, unless you cheat for it, and therefore you'd likely max out well before you were even allowed to try.

It only makes a difference in that they keep going until their bar is full with rampage. I was just commenting that I wasn't using it since it was still early in the semester, which is why I was surprised to see their bar more than 1/2 full after they did their term paper, without going to class or doing an assignment.
Not to mention that it takes less time to do the term paper and assignments in autumn too. :)

A parent could do that career and earn the bookcase, in which case the children could carry it to Uni in their inventory. No cheat required. :D

See: "You'd need to actually do the career". If you've done the career, you are either A: Not in Uni, or B: Not Gen0. In either case, this makes it much too late to be hauling things to Uni for skillpoints! I suppose in a truly sadistic case you could have a child who doesn't need it haul it to Uni and leave it there as a donation, but that's just convoluted.
