You can upgrade the bowling alley to 'cosmic bowling', not sure if there are any others.

I know the science experiment machine can be upgraded twice, but I don't know if it counts in the journal or if it's like the fire engine.

I'm pretty sure the Juice Kegger can be upgraded as well, something like auto refill if I remember correctly :)

And you've done all the other ones.  Do you have all of the expansions?

Yes Ricalynn, I have all expansions and I checked and rechecked to make sure I upgraded all other expansions (not store stuff), so Im really scratching my head on this one unless someone who's done it can enlighten me. Its really frustrating when its just one more!

We just had a handiness challenge on the challenge board.   Do you have the free store content installed for windmills & solar panels?

There were 36 upgrades prior to University Life being installed, if you included the windmills.  There were four that came with University Life as mentioned above.   Sometimes the windmill or solar panel will not correctly register if you have done them.  In fact, they won't go towards the percentage at all in my experience.

When you look at the unique upgrades done - what does the number say?

Unique upgrades in my sim's journal says 97% that's why I don't understand. The four mentioned above, one don't count towards the journal (unless its a bug) and that is the juice keg.

Edit: Sorry unique upgrades done the number is 38. I did not include the solar/windmills cos I read somewhere it doesn't count.

Did you have 100% before installation?  Are you absolutely 100% positive you had 100% prior to UL being installed?  And you got the one that's only for the wall speaker from Showtime right?   You're saying 38 and I'm counting 40 with the one you said doesn't count.

Hi Ricalynn, yes Im pretty sure I had 100% installation before UL. Wall speaker was also upgraded. But I only have 38 unique upgrades O.O. and it says Im 97% to 100% of unique upgrades, so I really don't know what went wrong! I have everything from every expansion upgraded. My sim is also a firefighter so I didn't miss out on his equipments either.

You also upgraded the Food Replicator LTR and the Teleportation Pad LTR?

I've closed the game I was playing and I'm grabbing a new guy to test.  I was able to get 100% before UL so I'm going to see if I get the 97% like you or if I can get 100%.  There is a slight possibility that you will have an issue because it's a previous game, too.

Hi Shirin, yes I have upgraded the LTR food replicator and teleport pad as well. This char that Im playing now is a plant sim (I wanted to test out plant sims). So he's not an old char. Worked with him for about 20 sim weeks going to UNI for his 4 majors and trying to perfect his skills.

I used an older char before Uni Life and had 100% upgrades done.

Thank you Ricalynn for testing this out! Ill be looking forward to your findings.

I have clicked every item in the game and cannot find anything at this time.  I'm up to 38/39 unique upgrades but only at 97% same as you.    So it's either a glitch because of the keg or I haven't found something yet that I should be able to upgrade.
