New Elective Ideas?

Friends,

It’s been a while since the last update of Custom University Electives, and I think it’s time to start thinking about new courses! Over time, the mod has grown to support a variety of skills, both from the game and from popular mods. But there are always new possibilities to explore.

I’d love to hear your ideas! What skills do you think should be available as university electives? Maybe a skill from a mod you love or something entirely new that would fit the game? Let me know in the comments which skills you’d like to see included.

For now, there’s no poll, but I’ll add one at the next stage once I gather enough ideas. Your feedback is always valuable and helps shape future updates! 🎓

How about maybe a nutritionist/Dietician or health specialist? Kind of like someone who would head a weightloss course geared towards healthy lifestyle. Meaning not diet but rather eat and exercise for life, eat to live instead of live to eat. Having something like this in game might inspire some to do this for real. Also maybe something like a helping hands organization, ie traveling doctors & nurses, disaster relief, aide to those in need, maybe meals delivered to elders alone, single Mom's, helping homelessness and such.

Midnitetech's Career Skills would be great! Also the new Skills from Zero's Careers Rework.

There are a few mods I have come to refuse to play without--it's unbearable now to go full vanilla--and one at the top is your Better Pie Menu. I love it and I need it and I'm so grateful for it, Andirz, truly. Another mod I look for right away every patch day (or set of mods, really) is SpinningPlumbobs's Expanded Mermaids, Werewolves and Whitelighter mods. Have you played these? They are beautiful. There are some skills sims can only get once they become an occult sim but anyone can learn the lore skills for each of these three. Is there any chance of elective classes for these? (*bats eyes, adorably*)

I'd love if you could do some more skills by PiedPiper like Weaving for example? Completely up to you though of course :)

How about Midnitetech's 3D Visualizing Skill from Freelance 3D Modeler Career and Digital Art Skill from Sequential Art Career? Or Alien Lore Skill from One More Kayaker's Aliens Reloaded Mod?

I'm not sure if you know of Make It Sizzle's Network Security Skill, but that could be a cool custom skill to add https://www.patreon.com/posts/tech-lover-mod-116428132

Wow, that sounds interesting. No, I haven't heard of that mod. I'll definitely check it out.

More of Jane Simsten's skills would be great and Simsonian Library's custom Skills

Andirz · March 16, 2025

Which ones exactly? By the way, I've already picked up a lot of Jane Simstens' skills.

I would also like it if the recent pack skills were included, and as for custom skills, I'd personally like to have BrazenLotus' Preserving skill, and/or more from PiedPiper (like mead brewing or weaving) :)

Seconding Brazenlotus' cheesemaking, preserving and canning skills.

I don’t use many custom skills, and the only custom skill I do use is Language Barriers by Frankk, which just got an update with new languages the new worlds from L&D and B&H. So an update to that option would be appreciated. Other than the new skills from recent packs, I can’t think of any others. Sorry, I’m not much help in suggestions. I just love the mod and appreciate all the work you put into it. Thank you very much.

Tattooing elective would be awesome! Also for pottery for the new sims pack

Andirz · March 16, 2025

These skills already exist. EA, for once, created these courses itself.

My wish is that elective courses take a skill level to 10. That would be so useful in freelance careers and things like parenting. I don't think this exists yet :) Thanks for all you do!

I don't know if it's a good idea for electives to build skills more than regular courses.
