Ugh Uni - creating your own.
Sagana:
Is there any way, short of uninstalling Uni, to get rid of the stupid want all teens have to go and fear of not?
I've got a teen that aged up in platinum to adult, still 3/4s full plat and crying that he missed Uni <gag> (Is that normal? I guess he had a fear of not going, though I didn't see it. Right before he was afraid of his 2 pets getting sprayed by skunks and his sister not liking him.) Uni was totally not appropriate for him and he's got no reason to be crying about it - heck he didn't go to high school either and he's not crying over that.
And I'm annoyed about the no businesses on Uni lots thing. So I'm tempted to make my own Uni and just give them the want slots and Uni careers when appropriate. I suppose I could just roll the want, just prior to growing them up, but how could I keep them from crying they didn't go if I send them to my own Uni instead of the game one? Will artificially giving them the graduated memory fix that?
Sorry I seem to be thinking in type more than actually thinking.

Nocollegeobsession. Doesn't quash college-related wants entirely, but makes them more reasonable.
Don't really see the need for business at Uni. I only knew one person myself who ran a (legitimate) business from his dorm room . . . and he never graduated. If they need money, have them perform music for tips, as a group. It's not much different from having a job, except they get fun points for it (which of course is way different from having a job). After all, the point of going to college is to avoid having to get a job. :P
In any event, I've been playing in an "almost clean" neighborhood (the only hacks are actual bug fixes and TJs teen and YA lazy walk fix), and I'm not having any problems with excessive college wants. ::)

Sims still get a negative red memory of not going to uni even if they don't have a fear of it at the time. Don't know what you can do about it, unfortunately. :(
DavidC:
Its normal for a sim to cry over a bad memory no matter what it is, if he was failing at school he probably cried about his D grade as well when he got that memory. The actual fear of not going to uni would have put him right into Aspiration failure if he got it and a probably a visit from the shrink..
The Nocollegeobsession hack just stops your teenagers obsessing about scholarships their nowhere near getting, they still get the annoying want to go to uni from the day they age to teens.. it does stop Parents rolling wants for it though until there about 5 days from being Adults.
Zazazu:
Sagana, I'm confuzzled. When you say that you'll make your own Uni and send them to it but then the sims will still get the bad memory....the game doesn't care if you use a pre-packaged Uni or a custom one. Sending a sim to Uni is sending a sim to Uni.
As for the bad memory, they can just deal with it >:(
