Line 40:
*If a Sim gets expelled, the Sim will receive a 4th [[Wants and fears|fear]] slot.
Young adults can only reside in the "college towns"; they cannot live in the base neighborhood. Sims leaving college, for whatever reason, automatically transition to [[adult]]s and move into the [[family bin]]. However, young adults can visit their families and friends in the base neighborhood if invited via the telephone. If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, they can also travel to [[community lot]]s outside the college sub-neighborhood, and the semester timer will pause while they are there. While no other young adults will appear there autonomously, they can use a cell phone to invite other young adults to the lot. Young adults can get engaged, but cannot marry until they leave college and become adults.
Young adults keep the aspirations they chose as teens. However, at the start of their junior year of college, they have the opportunity to change their aspiration if the player so chooses.
Young adults have [[majors]] instead of [[career]]s. When young adults look at a [[Newspaper#The Sims 2|newspaper]] or use a [[Computer#The Sims 2|computer]], the "Find a Job" option will be absent. If ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' is installed, they cannot be employed at a [[business]] or open a home business, but they can own a [[community lot]] business. However, community lots in the college sub-neighborhood cannot be owned. They can make money by working in a cafeteria, either in their [[dormitory]] or on another lot with cafeteria service. If a lot has an espresso stand or a bar, they can make money by working as a barista or bartender. They can also make money by painting or performing for tips, though they won't make much unless their [[Creativity (skill)|Creativity]] is high. They can also earn money at the end of each semester for their grades. How well they have done academically determines the amount of money given each semester.
When on college lots, unselectable young adults will often have a near-obsession with doing assignments and research. This even extends to those who are visiting residential lots.
Line 59:
*Using the [[Tombstone of Life and Death]] on young adults will age them to an elder. If the Tombstone of Life and Death is used to cause a young adult to become pregnant, one of the NPCs in the dorm will move out when the baby is born.
*If a young adult goes on vacation, they can get married and even have children. This was fixed with the [[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage/patch|''Bon Voyage'' update]].
*The opportunity to change aspiration at the end of Sophomore year is a one-time offer. If it's not taken when offered, the opportunity is lost. If ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' or later is installed, it includes the ability to change the Sim's turn-ons and turn-off.
*Teens will not automatically become young adults. A [[Mod|hack]] however, exists that can age teens to young adults, regardless of whether they will go to college or not.
*Using the boolprop TestingCheatsEnabled true cheat in ''The Sims 2'', a Sim can be turned into a young adult with the option Set Age To Young Adult. The Sim will now look like a young adult, and get to do the things they do, but their next life stage would be an Elder.
