Okay, I give up. This challenge has beat me. Like Simlover I couldn't get my doctor and assistant to transfer to university correctly. With the mods the game was to slow even with overwatch so I had to take them out. Then the people I was bringing in were bringing a lot of money with them and I couldn't keep up with how much of the money was actually mine. Now, when I try to switch characters for some reason it is trying to click on all of them at one time and I can't really get anyone to do anything. Clicking brings up no options on anything. When I try to move the person who appears to have caused the problem out, it moves out my doctor instead. I'm done. On to the colony and hopefully there won't be any more problems

I sent my doctor to college before I ever started the challenge though (she was in her own home at the time). As far as money, yes I did have people bringing money but I did several at once on certain days so I just jotted down what I had before and once they were all added, I did the familyfunds cheat and returned myself back to that amount.
To address an earlier comment by someone else, yes I did run into a lot of people who weren't quite right but I tried sending them through anyway (unless they had major issues). However if you are just absolutely not finding anyone the colony will accept, you can always try randomizing their traits and see if that works out any better. It's a bit of a cheat but if you're desperate, it's worth a shot.
It sounds like a lot of what you're describing are performance issues that aren't specifically related to the challenge. You could try operating it on a smaller scale (smaller building, fewer people) and see if that makes a difference.
Again, sorry to hear you're having issues.

While I don't have University, I just wanted to add that I am/was having some game glitches like the ones ladykelien was describing.. no options when I click on anything, etc. Curious that it happened on the very same challenge and nothing else affected. I think I tried about every solution, stopping at uninstalling and reinstalling everything. What I did was save the household + house to the sim bin, then started an entirely new save file in a different town, stuck the household + house back, and it miraculously worked.
About the traits: I added a whole bunch of Sims I had made a long time ago to my town. If you have as many saved sims as I do, it won't be a problem to add in a lot. I had made most of them so long ago, I didn't remember their traits. I also made two new households and stuck them in there by randomizing their traits, and very very quickly choosing a LTW without looking at their traits.
About moving people in: Master Controller lets you add random sims to your household without any requirements. You don't even have to meet them. It doesn't bring money in with them, either.
