I've played University in 2/3, but the thing about those iterations vs TS4 is that they made teens different, and had a lot of them to do without making them look like adults.
I know we aren't going to get shorter teens, but what I'd like is more stuff for teens to do besides part time jobs and two clubs. I'd love for a university pack to add just... more for teens as they prep for college.
I'd rather have a dedicated TEEN pack than it be shoe horned into a Uni pack. A uni pack should be about YA's since they are who college is meant for.
Now I'm wondering if they'll try to define expectations by coming out with an Elder stuff pack.
Knitting. "Shout at kids to get off lawn" social. Historical Knowledge skill. Prunes as a new harvestable. The possibilities are endless.

Hi guys! I was just wondering, why does everyone seem to want a University Pack so much? I just wanna know about how great the previous university packs were since I didn't get to play them for myself and I wanna get hyped about it. Thanks!
For many people, going to University is a rite of passage -- it symbolizes a transition from teendom to the ranks of The Adult Conspiracy (to use a term from a favorite fantasy series). In Sims 2, the Young Adult life stage was only for University students; once you graduated or if you chose not to go to University you immediately became an adult. In Sims 3, anyone from YA+ could attend, and you could go back multiple times which enabled the potential of the "professional student" who never wants to fully leave the campus and just keeps studying year after year as long as s/he has the money.
Going to University can also offer some advantages, whether it's a higher rate of pay depending on your final GPA, or careers that are only available if you have a University degree. And for some it's a chance to party, or maybe meet Mr./Ms. Right (or at the very least Mr./Ms. Right Now).
For me, University gives more options to tell my stories. Maybe I want to do the "professional student" bit, or maybe I have an overachiever who wants to get top grades so they can start their career on a strong note, or maybe I'll have an older Sim go back to college for a new career after they get burned out with their old one. That's the value a University pack provides to me.

Honestly id love it if they made elder pack but probably more of gp would be fun with lots of old people activities
maybe add retirement homes and such also could add socials like ''complain about fashion'' or ''ask about marriage plans''
''offer cookies'' ''share memories'' there could be bingo! and maybe some old people channels...
why im so excited about this im young adult <:D oops
For me, it just adds more flavor to my teen growing up, becoming a young adult and having to experience the world on their own w/o their family.. otherwise it just adds some cool gameplay aspects and new world
as someone who's in uni right now, i'd rather have an education pack. there's some things that can be "recycled" for use in all iterations of school no matter if its elementary, high school, or uni, and it would be neat to be able to have an aspect previously un-explored in the other games
I would love a university pack. The option to explore my young adult sims' lives at school would be a great story, especially with my legacy challenges. Also, there'd be so much to do if you think about it: the option to edit dorms, school activities, sports, competitions, etc... I hope in the future they consider it!
