Talk:Scholarship

The Sims 3 University section
I notice 2 things that I want to talk about. First of all, while the article said the factor used in calculation of aptitude test score are different from the one use in gaining the performance, I went to check it out, and the list are identical. Can someone confirm this please?

Also, if possible, I think it would be a good idea to start a separate page for the university systems that works in the game.The expansion pack section doesn't go into that great of a detail, and it would be annoying for people (or me, at the very least) to look up different pages on wikia only to find detail on the aptitude test, enroll into uni, life in Uni, and benefit afterward.


 * Yes, the factors are different. For example, the Born Salesperson trait is one of the factors that give scores in Business major while taking the aptitude test. The major itself, however, will not benefit from this trait (the beneficial traits are Ambitious, Genius, Workaholic, Burglar, Charismatic, Evil, Frugal, Mooch, and Perceptive). Mixology skill also contributes to Business major in the aptitude test, but not while in the university.


 * It is actually how wikia works. The articles are separated by the topics. This article specifically explains the scholarship in details. Because this article is about scholarship, explaining about majors will be irrelevant, because it will have to be described in its own page.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:08, June 27, 2013 (UTC)

The Mendel Award for Oxygen Donation and Repletion
So apparently The Sims 2 has another scholarship not mentioned on this list, and it's an elusive one: The Mendel Award for Oxygen Donation and Repletion. The family that I'm playing right now consists of two Moms with four sons and two daughters; four of those children are teens, two of them just applied for scholarships and got this one, and one of the mothers is presently at the top of the Education career track: a Minister of Education (courtest of The Sims 2: Seasons). I'm a big fan of having parents in Education careers because Education's career reward (the bookshelf) is a huge help with Skilling up your Simmy kids and getting them off to college, but this is honestly the first time I've run into this scholarship

So got curious about what prompted that award, so I came here first, but this article says nothing. But I've Googled up one (and only one) reference to this scholarship, and apparently it's because the kids have a Minister of Education as a parent; to wit, it's a scholarship for merely breathing (as per its name), as if awarded from parent to child in a nepotistic fashion.

Is it safe to add this scholarship to this article's list, or do we require more research and confirmation first? BloodyBay from YouTube (talk) 03:03, May 6, 2018 (UTC)
