Ugh Uni - creating your own.
Sagana:
Hegelian, it's not a need for money or anything. I want the Uni bookstore to sell mini-fridges and uh (duh) books! I can't do that without making it owned (they just eat out of the fridges and study from the bookcases). and a whole variety of other (imo more realistic) things I'd like to set up for uni, that I could do in a regular neighborhood but can't in a Uni one.
Zazazu, what I mean is, I'll create my own blamed Uni using a regular subhood. I'd keep the kids teens while they're in my 'uni', install inteen so they could have more options, build classroom buildings (I actually already have one of these) to sort of let them go to class, cheat out the grades (not like anysim fails Uni without working at it anyway), be able to have profs, grad students, events, etc. With hacks and OFB options, I could pretty easily create my own university neighborhood and skip the EA part that I'm sick of altogether.
Yeah, they can deal with the bad memory (well I can, the pixels don't care) but it's annoying that every single kid gets it. Why should it be a bad memory for a gypsy teen that he isn't going to a University? Or any other kind of kid that it isn't either appropriate nor interesting to send.
Zeljka:
I think it's a little silly that they're all obsessed with going, I could see it for Knowledge or maybe even Finance [insert case for each asp here] but what town in the world has an entire population wanting to further their education? I'd like to see the want of 'Not going to Uni' show up every now and then. Some people prefer succeeding without post-secondary education.
But, they never really cry over anything for more than one evening anyway right?
I usually send them to an easel or some other absorbing task after a tragedy, if they keep breaking to cry, I use object error on them to make them stop...
there will be no needless crying in my game... heh heh
Li'l Brudder:
It's stupid that even if you DON'T HAVE A UNI SUBHOOD, they STILL get the want and then the resulting fear. I'm just making my teens go straight to adults and then using the lot debugger to give them an education if they need it.

That must be something like when my Sims get calls from random townies inviting them to the cool downtown location they've found before I've installed a Downtown.
I tried it once out of curiousity... not pretty, and the townie was furious for being stood up to boot...
EPs would be more fun if every single sim's Wants and Fears panel wasn't suddenly taken over by 'try this great new ep' things. I can see Pop Sims wanting to jump on the latest bandwagon, but everyone? bleh
Sagana:
Yeah a sim crying really isn't the end of the world to deal with or anything, just totally out-of-character for my adult male gypsy to stop packing up his stuff to move out on his own so he could weep over missing Uni. boo hoo hoo. geez guy, you're supposeda be a hot, sexy sim male not a weeping whiny baby.
And I wasn't expecting it. I guess it's been awhile (a long while) since I've skipped Uni with anyone. I figure as I've paid for the dang thing, I should use it, so I keep trying. But every time I turn around, I get frustrated with how poorly it works - again! Pets didn't add much, but at least it doesn't normally make me mad because it's poorly executed and doesn't even work with the rest of the game. It works fine. Uni doesn't :( It doesn't even simulate campus life well at all, besides not working with the rest of the game.
I'd uninstall it, but I do want the careers and want slots. And probably other stuff that came with the EP I'm forgetting.
