 Say Thanks!
I added more traits to the aptitude test score. By extension, this also makes it easier to win a scholarship and/or extra credits.

Several of these traits are from other xpacks, but you don't need those packs for the mod to work. Like with the original test, the game just checks to see if your sim has any of those traits.

If you want to calculate what your sim's test score should be, the formula is available in Carl's guide. You start with 100 points in each major. Each associated trait is worth 83 points. Skill levels are worth 27 each, and career levels are worth 34. To get bonus credits toward your major, you need either 250 points for a small bonus or 350 for a big bonus. The Sims Wiki article on the subject is incorrect, don't bother with it.

-- Changes Made to the Test --

Traits
- Bookworm: added to Business, Communication, and Technology majors
- Brave: Technology. This trait spawns wishes to join the Law Enforcement or Military careers. So, I added it to the major associated with those careers.
- Disciplined: Phys Ed. In the original version, the Martial Arts skill contributes to your test score, but not the associated trait. I fixed that.
- Dramatic: Fine Arts. I just thought it was thematically appropriate.
- Equestrian: Phys Ed. Same story as the Disciplined trait.
- Friendly: Communications
- Genius: removed from Fine Arts and Phys Ed. Lucky takes its place as the trait that raises your score across the board.
- Hopeless Romantic: Fine Arts. This trait spawns musical lifetime wishes, like Hit Movie Composer. And imo, it makes sense for a romantic sim to pursue their passion instead of a practical degree.
- Lucky: all 6 majors. I figured a lucky sim is better at guessing on multiple choice questions.
- Mooch: Business
- Perfectionist: switched from Science/Medicine to Fine Arts. This trait improves the quality of your sim's creative output, like books, paintings, and meals. Imo it makes more sense as an artistic trait.

I assume this mod will conflict with any other that changes the aptitude test.
