I tried this MOD and it works but the only thing that confused me was when I was in class, instead of working hard I changed to socialize and my education bar automatically dropped to zero. I changed it back to working hard and it immediately went back to the top.

I hope this made sense.

P.S. thanks for this though.

EDIT: This is the MOD that I used. thril2_(InstantFill)IncreasedAcademicPerformance + Instantly Fills the Academic Performance Meter

Hello billysim143,

By default the EA settings penalize a Sim for "Socializing", "Sleeping", and "Texting" during class. Since the InstantFill Mod automatically fills the Academic Performance Meter when you select any type of positive work effort in class, the same type of effect will be applied to the negative work efforts carried out in class. With that said, it looks like it is time to add some new variations for the InstantFill flavor.

Here is a list of the new variations added to the InstantFill flavor:
  • InstantFillNoPenaltyForSocializing
  • InstantFillNoPenaltyForSleeping
  • InstantFillNoPenaltyForTexting
  • InstantFillNoPenaltyForAll

Thanks for the feedback billysim143. I hope the new variations for the InstantFill flavor will help out.

Happy Gaming!!

any chance you can make a version that keeps the positive progress as intended but just stops the bar from dropping to zero while I sleep?

Maybe have it not change gains but stop the losses?

Thank you for this! The Academic Perfomance meter has been driving me crazy. I have two Sims in University, and for one Sim, the meter works fine. It goes up when she's in class, studying, etc. For my other Sim, it's constantly going down, even when she's doing everything she needs to do. It's been driving me crazy.

I have checked this 1.50 XML against the latest 1.55 XML and, apart from the changes made by thril2, they are exactly the same. So this does NOT need an update.

Hi,

Question : could you make a "no decrease university performance" mod, I mean : the performance will never decrease (except if the Sim does not go to the classroom or if he is sleeping, texting or socializing in in the classroom).

Actually, I would like that the university performance act like the school one (for children and teens). Is this possible to do ?

Well, I'm about to find out. I had to reset my Sim because of a glitch and my academic performance got wiped out.

So, I'm going to install this long enough to finish out the semester where she'd been before the reset.

Thank you for your stable game, EA. -.-

This is such a brilliant idea! I have a homeworld university and found that most of the townies get a C grade upon finishing uni, so they risk getting stuck at level 1, 2 or best case scenario, level 3 of their career until they retire - I'd prefer level 4 of a career automatically for their entry level job. I'm hoping that with this mod, I'll be able to boost townies' career progression thanks to now excellent academic performance! Off to testing.

Confirming that it works great with patch 1.67 (I have all EPs + kits)! So great to see townie university students with a 100/100 academic performance. I hope it propels most of them to level 3 and 4 of the chosen career after they graduate. Finally done with forever-stuck-at-career-level-1 townies , that was killing a little bit the realism of the simulation :/. So grateful for this mod!

(Tip: you will have to load your save twice, before the performance increase kicks in, it's normal if it does not work on the first game load.)

This mod totally works! I downloaded the "InstantFillNoPenaltyForAll" flavor (at the bottom). Love this handy mod creation!
