In The Sims 4 Discover University, you can send your Sims to college, have them take classes in subjects like engineering, education, or law, and prepare them for their future jobs.
But this path is not always straightforward. Some players change their minds and realize that university might not be the best option for their Sims after all.
Here’s how you can drop out of university in The Sims 4.
Method 1: Withdraw from Term
If there’s one class making your Sim unhappy, consider quitting that class first:
- Make your Sim active.
- Click on the phone.
- Select the Work icon (briefcase).
- Click on “Withdraw from Term.“
Method 2: Drop out completely
If you’re sure university isn’t the right choice for your Sim:
- Move your Sim to a different household.
- Use the phone or computer to select College and then “Drop Out.“
Dropping out of university in The Sims 4 doesn’t come with any penalties, so there’s no need to worry. However, once your Sims drop out, they can’t go back to college.
If your Sims get expelled from college, they get 4 fear slots, usually if they fail exams twice in a row.
Dropping out can be smart. If your Sim is close to being expelled, dropping out lets you avoid the negative consequences of expulsion.
Once you’ve dropped out, your degree progress is lost. Some high-level careers may require a degree, so dropping out can limit your options.
University life is a special experience for your Sims, but remember, once they drop out, they can’t return. Think carefully before you decide to drop out.
