We know nothing about the map of Britechester or how many (if any) lots there are to build on. If there is one lot that I can build on, I'd like to build an old, large Victorian (like you see in college movies) where my single professor will live. I'm guessing that the teaching career is a rabbit hole (which I want) so I'll "pretend" that he is a college professor. In his down time, he will mentor students. I'll have him be the leader of a study group club that meet at his house. Maybe it will be possible for the group to do debates among themselves or/and him to give lectures. Every semester, he will choose one student to be his assistant with special privileges. This will be the student that he has an affair with which will change every semester.
PS, I once tried that in TS3 to see what would happen but I don't think it had any effect on my sim's grades, it'd be amazing if it does this time, like if there was an interaction where you can "influence" your professor to give you a higher grade by using your flirting skills, that'd be awesome.
I'd love it to be like it was in Sims 2 also... but considering today's climate it would probably be considered offensive so I'm not holding out hope for better grades for romance. I still plan on making students that will woo their way through school either way.. If we get to meet our professors ect I'm sure I can tell whatever story I want to anyway in my own game.
Some of those Sims 2 professors were good marriage material. In my Veronaville, Antonio Monty married Professor Wanda, whom his nephew had met at uni. So developing romantic interest between our sims and the professors doesn't neccesarily imply selfish interest.
Or if the professor rejects your flirting you could get sent to the headmaster's office and get expelled!! Or if you are a teacher you may get a pop up saying "[teacher's name] wants to bring [student's name] home. Will you allow it?] Or it can be something completely autonomous without you interfering at all. Or you could blackmail your teacher with incriminating pics of them and another student doing illicit things in the shower...

I usually just had a sim meet their future spouses at Uni in Sims3. I may have tried that once, but didn't really see many professors in Sims3 that made me want that. I do however like the idea, but I hope they don't tank the grades just for that one interaction, because some simmers might not want to chance it especially playing many times. That would take the fun out of it for me as it would make it hard to get the grades you want for your sims. I don't think one should hurt the other. Otherwise, I would like to play that out as a student and as one simmer said above as a professor.

In Sims 2 you could bump up your grade by having a romance with the professor.
I remember trying that once and woohoo gives a huge bump. It's even easier with the drama professors because they're automatically in love with everyone they meet. Just make sure not to flirt with anyone else in their presence

I never did that with any of my students in any Uni - and my sims all got top grades without it. So it really doesn't make much difference unless you sims student don't do their required school work. Half the professors are on the elder side in past sims games and I was not into young college students and elder professors anyway. But I did not see where mixing college life up with old professors was any fun either. I concentrated on required school work and my sims finding the love of their lives - and just being friends with their professors - not love interests.
Just being friends with the professors seemed to get my students good grades without any disgusting moments thrown in. I find the thought repulsive on both sides of the coin... and unnecessary for my game play anyway.

Lol, I never played with this plotline. Actually, in the TS2 days, I mainly played one random but bookish family, the Sandsleys. They were upwardly mobile and moved into a progressively bigger house. That's basically all I did though I had fun with it. I'm thinking I should bring them back in a newer version.
Anyway, while I'll admit that this thought hasn't crossed my mind, I have no issue with it being an option. I like a fairly less restricted game. I think that if this does show up in my game, it would be mostly heartbreak for the parties involved. They would need to suffer a while and if the professor is found out, it would ruin his or her reputation.
You do you, other players. Lol. I'm all for people being able to play how they want as long as it doesn't restrict me either.

Sims needs a rejection system lmao. Where you can be like "NOPE IM NOT RISKING MY CAREER" lmao
More than likely not lol but I’m sure it wouldn’t be long before the mod community gets to work on that.
It's annoying when we need mods for something that should be included in gameplay. Like come on, lol
They told us from day one of S4 that this version will be very CC and MOD friendly and they would be willing to help sort out any problems. What we didn't know then was that they would be relying on CC and MODS to flesh out their game so that they won't need to.

Well as someone who creates mods, I get that feeling!

Lol, that makes sense. But I remember how the university admin in TS2 never really cared about professor-student relationships, or any grade boosts resulting from it. Which kind of makes you think what kind of college experience the Maxis people back then had 🤔

I guess seeing current social view, if not ilicit at least should be not for T rating a professor having romance with his students.
For less, i was banned due raising rating
I love the idea of the study group; hope they make that a possibility.
