Mod Description
Never miss your Sim coming back from uni class again!
With this mod, you will get a pop-up notification every time your Young Adult Sim gets back from a college class or exam. Moreover, time will slow back to normal automatically.
The notification will disappear after a few seconds (no need to delete it manually).
There are 7 different flavours of text, some of which try to capture Maxis’s humour
This mod also works if you run college outside of a University subhood, for example by using the Mega College Pack by Squinge.
Conflicts
Compatibility
Except for the conflicts mentioned (and resolved) above, this mod is compatible with most common uni-related mods.
In particular, it is compatible with Semester Changes by Cyjon, Later Classes by Cyjon, Mega College Pack by Squinge, College Tuition and Student Loans by kestrellyn, College Adjuster by TwoJeff, Harder Grades by AncientHighway (both versions)... just to name a few.

Resource Name | Type Name | Group Name | Type | Group | Instance |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Interaction – At Class | Behaviour Function (BHAV) | MajorGlobals | 0x42484156 | 0x7F17E3A4 | 0x00002005 |

My edits to these resources (with pictures):
- In #STR 'Dialog prim string set', I added new strings on 0x37 to 0x3D: these are the possible pop-up message.
- To make it compatible with the mentioned mods, I also kept the strings that were added by such mods (line 0x13 is from TwoJeff's No Finals at Night, line 0x02A is from Inteen, and lines 0x30 ti 0x36 are from Better Major Auto-Selection by Pick'n'Mix - these are not visible in the pictures below)
- In BHAV 'Interaction – At Class', I added nodes 0x13 to 0x17. In particular:
- Lines 0x13 and 0x14 slow down time to normal speed, using the Primitive 0x0001 'Generic Sim Calls' with value 0x12 giving 'Set Simulator Speed'. This requires the desired speed to be passed in Temp0
- Lines 0x15 and 0x16 create a random number between 0x37 and 0x3D (by creating a random number between 0 and 6, and adding 37 to it). This range corresponds to the indices of the strings that I added in the STR# file
- Finally, line 0x17 displays the notification.
