I don't have this in at the moment (although I plan to use it in my planned new neighbourhood) and I've found since the new patch that none of my grads are getting put into the really high levels. Most of them are starting way below their capabilities as far as their skills are concerned. I can't remember the last time I had someone automatically put into Level 8 or 9, it's just not happening anymore. I've even had them put in a level where they've had 6 skill points more than they needed.
Don't forget jobs have a family friends requirement. If you don't meet that, you may end up with a lower starting level.

I so want this hack (the harder jobs aspect, the limited number of top spots, etc) and--if it can be done--would love to see random death and incarceration in certain career fields (for military and police careers--yes, there should be a moderately high chance that a sim is killed on the job. Ideally there would be an NPC who "regrets to inform you..." and brings home the urn. In the criminal track there should be an even higher chance of death and also of incarceration--the sim is out of the game, just like a child taken by the social workers. The notice should be "[sim] has been convicted of [name of crime] and sentenced to [days] in prison (or life, and he won't be coming back ever...)" However, in every career accidents can happen (mayors get assassinated, science labs release deadly pathogens, etc.) I really think it would make play much more interesting!
Of course, I don't have OFB yet, and likely won't be getting it for a while. Is there any chance the hack will work with fewer expansion packs (Uni and NL), or would it totally break my game?
J. M. Pescado:
I've already thought of those, but at present, the infrastructure does not exist to make those possible. Perhaps at a later date.
croiduire:
So, will my Uni and NL game be able to utilize the applicable elements and ignore the OFB part, or should I just look at the hack wistfully (with quivering lower lip and big sad eyes) until I can afford to buy OFB?
Avalikia:
Is there a way I could modify the number of openings in the upper levels or would that be too complicated for me to bother with?
