So this is what happens. I take the aptitude test and enroll, and go off to college. I get the cut scene with music, and the game tells me to choose a place to stay for the term. I pick a place and "rent", and then I click the check mark. Nothing happens. The check mark turns grey and the game just kind of sits there. Forever. I can't even quit the game because there is no option to quit! So I am forced to alt+tab and use task manager to shut the game down. I've tried cleaning out the usual .PACKAGE files. Nothing works, though. I don't even use mods or anything, so that is not the problem. The game is just buggy. I don't know what's going on. I have looked up an answer for this problem all over the place, and only two solutions have I found. One, try editing the University lot attached to your town. Well, I did, and when I looked there were students all over the place. That's not supposed to happen when editing a lot, right? But they're everywhere. Frozen in place. Well, this didn't work. The second and only thing I have not tried is moving to another town. It may be my only option, but before I do, I am wondering if anyone knows a better way to fix this? Someone help? Maybe?

I honestly have no idea, but a factory reset usually fixes this kind of bug. You can find instructions on how to do a factory reset on the Technical Help board. It's really easy and fast so you could at least try.

Good luck!

You could try clearing your caches as well.  Something could be caught in there causing a problem.

I am having the same issue (although I have found that it also effects pre made families when trying to move them into a new/different town straight from the bin).



I have tried both factory reset and deleting the caches without any change.  Is there anything else that could be the reason for this happening?  Has anyone got any other suggestions?  It's fairly frustrating when I'm playing a dynasty challenge.

I don't use CC or MODs.

4x4, so I think that it will effect when I try to move to another town too.

Are you using the phone to move from town to town?

Yep, using the phone to try and enrol at University.  Although I have had this same issue happen when trying to move a family from the bin into a town (I did find a work around for this that you save the game and exit to the main menu and reload the game it works as if you have saved while moving, however there is no option to do this when trying to attend the University).

EDIT:  I haven't actually tried moving towns yet as i am not that far into the dynasty (well gen 2).  Also I can't even select to play pre-made families without doing the work around.  I know that this has been posted in the University thread but I didn't want to start a new topic just in case.  But I don't think that this particular glitch is for University only.
