How Many Degrees Are in The Sims 4?

In Sims, 4 there are 13 university degrees or majors. These range from Art History, to Culinary Arts, Economics and History. Each university degree requires a different set of skills. For example, the Art History degree will require you to level up Charisma, Painting, and Writing, while the Biology degree Fitness, Gardening, and Logic.

If you aren’t sure where to start, here are all the university majors in Sims 4 listed and explained!

Art History

If your sim is an artsy spirit, this degree is going to turn their life around. Its core skills are Charisma, Painting, and Writing, so be sure to keep them high! A degree in Art History will be useful for Painters (Patron of the Arts branch) and Critics (Arts Critic branch). Let’s not forget Style Influencers (Trend Setter branch)!

Biology

Biology might be a difficult subject, but we are sure that your sims are going to be just fine! Its core skills are Fitness, Gardening, and Logic. It will also benefit Athletes (Bodybuilder branch), Doctors, Gardeners (Botanist branch), and Conservationists (Marine Biologist branch)

This degree will do wonders for your sims that are really good with computers. Its core skills are Programming and Robotics.

Computer Science is personally one of my favorite university majors in Sims 4!

Once they get their degree they can become amazing Criminals (Boss branch) and Secret Agents (Villain branch). Astronauts (Interstellar smuggler branch) too!

Which Sims 4 Degree is the Best?

Everyone has different opinions when it comes to university majors in Sims 4. However, in my opinion, Computer Science is the best degree in Sims 4.

The reason is that it’s too damn fun playing with a geek Sim if you’re a geeky person too. Studying all about computers and engineering at university will be a delightful experience for you. You’ll get to work on your Robotics and Programming skills. And in the end, you can become a Tech Guru!

All in all, Computer Science is a blast!

Which University Majors should I pick for my sims in the Sims 4?

When you think about it, it all comes down to your sim’s personality. Here’s what I recommend you do here.

You should study what kind of person your sim really is. If they are more into the arts, you can focus on a more creative degree. Which one you’ll pick depends on which skills your sim is best at.

But, what we really want to say is that you don’t have to feel like your sim needs to do this. Besides, this expansion wasn’t always around! And expansions should be additions and not something you feel that you have to do.

Conclusion

Those are the key things you need to know about university majors in Sims 4. If you have trouble choosing one for your sim, just focus on their personality. And if you figure out who your sim is as a person, you’ll easily find the right match for them.

We hope that this guide is helpful for you.
