University not available?

[Nanny State 0]

Hi all, I'm not sure if I've hit a bug or am just missing something really obvious!

I chose not to build the university when it first became available, and since then it hasnt become available again.

My city is pretty large now, roughly 500k and I have about 700k region wide, and I can't build the uni in either city with a large residential pop.

Education and mayor rating are above the requirement (at least on the graph). Is there a way to get a list of numbers regarding these and other things?

I can't figure it out! I've been playing SC4 for a while, and have never had this problem.

Thanks a lot!

One alternative is to complete the U-drive-it mission to earn the University reward.

I have seen reports of this over the years.. never seen it myself, but its not an area I play with much... they say that they either never get it or that they are offered it and decide to wait and hte offer goes away (ie its not in the "rewards menu") I'm not sure of the problem but you could either use the UDI or just use "you don't deserve it" I mean if you've got the requirements for it, its hardly like you're "cheating" ..

The University is in the Schools menu.

hah, thanks.. I certainly know how to find the university in the menu

I'll see if I can unlock it via U-Drive, I don't want to use cheats just yet.

It's very weird, population is now almost at 700,000 in this city, education is around 140 and mayor rating is around 90.. I need the damn university!

lol.. if you're already given it, how is that cheating? but hey.. whatever rocks your boat

lol yeah, I wouldn't mind using it  for the university, I should have had it ages ago, and I should probably have the advanced research centre too... But I meant that I didn't want to use it because I know I'd just use everything else it unlocked straight away...

I'll probably end up use it anyway, because U-Drive it is a pain, makes me feel for those poor sims driving around down there everyday.

You turn it on, get what it is you've earned, save and exit.. it goes away and resets
