v1 gave y’all the Bachelors and Masters

we had to keep going

v2 now includes:

🎓 Associate’s Degree
🎓 PhD
🎓 Summa Cum Laude

this one important fr because everybody path different.

some people took the long road.
some doubled back and finished later.
some pushed through burnout, pressure, debt, isolation, and still got that degree.

and some really sacrificed YEARS to make it happen.

this mod brings those conversations into the game:
academic burnout, pressure, proving yourself, different educational paths, success, overthinking, and the reality behind earning it.

also… congratulations to everybody in real life that achieved these milestones 💛

whether it was an associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, PhD, certifications, trade school, ANYTHING…

that hard work matters.

more expansions coming soon

🧩 If the XML Injector is not installed, certain interactions, buffs, and trait features will not appear or work as intended.

📥 You can download the XML Injector here (by Scumbumbo/Triplis):
https://scumbumbomods.com/xml-injector

Place it directly in your Mods folder (no more than one subfolder deep).

⚠️ Important Installation Rule

Each mod comes in two versions:

• User‑Directed Version

• Autonomous Version

You must choose ONE version only.
Do NOT place both versions in your Mods folder at the same time.

Having both installed will cause conflicts, missing interactions, or unexpected behavior.

AUTO Version

• “Auto” means the actions happen autonomously (without you controlling it).

• Just like how Sims have a mind of their own.

• So yes, you will usually NOT see pie menus for mods/files that you downloaded that say AUTO. That’s normal.

User Directed Version

• “User Directed” means the actions are in your control.

• Mods/files that say User Directed should show pie menus because you’re the one choosing the interactions.
