too many professors...

What I want to know is, what is the source of this anti-professor prejudice?
Oh, my prejudice isn't restricted to just the professors... it's for all game-produced characters. I've hated all game produced and default characters since I started playing the original Sims five years ago, and Sims 2 just made them that much more obnoxious and hard to get away from. They do nothing but get in the way and complicate the game for me. Since I know that the game requires a certain number of NPCs to run properly, I use antiredundancy to keep their numbers down to a bare minimum and simply ignore them as much as possible. The problem I have here is that I don't know why the game has to produce a full two dozen of them. I'd prefer just one, and I'm even willing to go along with up to four, but twenty-four of them means that my game will have more professors than all other townies, downtownies, NPCs, and strays combined. Obnoxious.

Me too, exactly that, ditto.
My prejudice is for all EA/Maxian created characters and I've worked hard at having very limited numbers of them (to the point of never calling a taxi in some hoods so I don't end up with a driver NPC). It's annoying that it works pretty well for everything but Uni. What I really want is to make my own professors. And I don't feel a need for that many. I've only got 6 kids at uni - 3 playables, 3 (my own) dormies... the profs waaayyy outnumber the student body. There's gonna be a revolution soon.

It works for the aliens I keep on The Mothership lot in my neighborhoods, but they aren't NPCs.
Ooo! Mothership lot! Where do you get this? I love alien stuff.

It's just a lot with a buyable alien ship on it. :)
It houses twelve aliens that I use to pollinate anyone who gets abducted, so that they're not all related to one alien.

If you are willing to experiment, try this.
Change all the professors to infants with SimPe. Disclaimer: I've never done this, I've only read about it.
It seems that changing an NPC to an infant prevents them from visiting other lots. If you try this, I would suggest trying to call them on the phone, to see if it can be done. After all, phone calls to professors can help grades.
You also may be able to chat with them online.
Of course, I understand if you don't want to experiment with this. Just thought I'd pass the idea along.
