Smart Milk and the college years
buddha pest:
mmm, in that case every single one of my sims in the history of ever must have had stuck smart milk. Which can't be since they all take to the thinking cap as teens which would have unstuck it before uni.
I've replicated this situation time and time again. If I direct one of my born-in-game sims to start an assignment at the same time as a townie, the sim I raised will always, always finish first. If I have large groups that are a mixture of my sims & townies doing assignments in unison (which happens often), all my born-in-games finish first.
I'm sure it's the learn to study thing.
As for the skill learning, playful/serious comes into play too, so who knows.
Ness:
I've noticed the speed at which born in game sims complete assignments and term papers is different to the CAS young adults, and townies - I always put it down to being taught to study...
although, I think the smart milk is still sticking with nightlife - I had one teen who qualified for every single skill scholarship by the time he had been a teen for three days! he didn't have the max all skills LTW, so I ended up leaving him at 8 in each and sending him to uni early... didn't notice anything with the speed of completing assignments and such there, I had him by himself.

Apparently if they learn to study, they will complete assignments quicker. I haven't had a Sim yet whose IQ tested at more than 100 once they reached teens, even when they had smart milk. They do all study faster than the dormies, though.
buddha pest:
I could be wrong, but I think I remember reading once J.M. saying smart milk gets unstuck by moving out. So it wouldn't still be in effect in uni anyway.
RainbowTigress:
Maybe it is the learn to study thing then. I remember when I first got Uni, I had one of my sims help the cheerleader with her assignment for simoleans, and she had the Learn to study books over her head when they finished. I looked in her memories with the mind control mirror, and sure enough, she had the memory of being taught to study by my sim.
