MY First Graduation Ceremony(test for tax return status)
It is a glorious day for celebrating as it is my graduation today and all my hard work has basically paid off.
I want to share some of the fruits of my labor and the test.
I was recently introduced to the feature which allows you to pay off your student loan debt to upgrade your cards.
Probably been around for awhile but I must have missed the update or something haha anyways I have been accruing a bloody horde of students engulfed in debt and wanted to test out the upgrade AKA student graduation.
It was basically the worst time to run this test because they just announced an increase to the tuition cost of student debt but this was in the name of science so it was perfect.
I started this test with a total of 10 Student(debt) cards with a marketplace ask value of 18,770 SIM.
These cards cost 20 SIM per upgrade so I had to pay 200 SIM to complete this test in the first place.
These are the results:
| Cards | # | SIM Value |
|---|---|---|
| Policeman | 3 | 5172 |
| Economist | 2 | 3736 |
| Soldier | 2 | 6748 |
| Eco Activist | 1 | 2396 |
| Scientist | 1 | 244 |
| Hard Worker | 1 | 644 |
Total Marketplace ask value is 18,940 SIM
Including the cost of the upgrades I actually lost a value of 30 SIM in the respective marketplace.
However, I am not really too concerned with that value as it has atleast remained somewhat the same.
The main purpose of this test was to discover the rate at which my beloved tax credits will disappear from the "upgrades" random choice of citizen cards.
With a 20% chance to lose tax credits and a loss in marketplace value I am wondering if I should wait to squeeze out some more rewards from my remaining students in debt.
I am very saddened to report that my city has lost 2 SIM from my daily rewards from this graduation ceremony.
The soldier cards actually give WAR shares though so I gained .2 shares which probably makes up the 2 SIM idek.
If the older generation citizen cards can still be minted from this upgrade I think I will hold off atleast until they have risen in value.
*edit I'm actually just waiting for the release of Hackers.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope you have a great day for celebration!
