The Sims 4 Discover University: Fine Arts

Standard and Distinguished Fine Arts Degree Applications and Career Benefits

Fine Art Degree in The Sims 4 Discover University Fine Arts Description: The creation of culture is no easy task, but those enrolled in a Fine Arts degree understand the importance of just such a task. Through the study of the painting, photography, and violin skills, the program hopes to imbue the creative spirit of creation in all its students.

Distinguished Application

Available at School: Britechester

Requirements: Being accepted into Britechester for a distinguished degree in Fine Arts is not guaranteed, but having the following skills and factors in your favor will make it more likely. You begin with a 5/20 chance. This is multiplied by:

Factor	Skill Level?	Multiplier
High School	"A" Student	2x
High School	"B" Student	Flat, no gain or loss
High School	"C" to "F" Student	From 0.5 (C) to 0.25 multiplier to score with D-F.
Piano	3+	x2
Pipe Organ	3+	x2
Painting	2-3	x2
Violin	2-3	x2
Photography	2	x2
Painting	4-6	x4
Violin	4-6	x4
Photography	3-4	x4
Painting	7-10	x8
Violin	7-10	x8
Photography	5	x8

Additionally, Sims can flaunt fame for a x2 multiplier (but will have it dropped to 0.25 on failure). Sims who donate can also see a big multiplier of x16, but a failure there is the worst of the bunch (0.125). Having a multiplier less than 1 is dropping the score a lot.

Ultimately, your final score will determine if you are accepted in to a distinguised program. There is a non-distinguished version of every degree in Discover University. If you fail to get into a distinguished program, you can take the regular version at the other school. There are caveats, so see the degrees guide for more detailed information. It also explains the difference between with and without honors.

My sim got a Fine Arts degree from UBrite, yet when I tried to have her join the Painter Career, she kept being placed at the very bottom level (Palette Cleaner). She graduated with a B average and it was a distinguished degree. I don't understand why she's not automatically level 8 in the Painter Career...?

You have to choose the career button at the top of the career/job picker, not the side button at the left. I don't know why it works this way but if you only choose the career/job from the left then your sim enters at level 1 or at the most level 3 if they graduated High School with an A
