First we'd need a normal university, and I'm saying this as a supernatural player who doesn't particularly care for university in the first place.
I can also see people getting mad if they introduced magical university first, for two reasons:
1. Most of the people begging for university are probably realism players. If we get an entire pack dedicated to magical universities before we get a pack for regular ones, they're gonna be like "BUT WE WANTED A NORMAL UNIVERSITY"
2. JK Rowling has a really bad reputation right now. And let's be real, I guess Harry Potter is where most of us are getting the magical school idea from anyway. Comparisons will inevitably be drawn.
Also, who'd be able to attend the magical schools? Would the "muggles" get in? Would it be a way to learn magic in the first place? Should it be a part of the Witch gamepack? Does it need to be?
Now, having the option to play as supernaturals/non-humans in a regular university, I'd be all for that.
I've definitely done that in TS3; I had an alien attend there once. He never even needed to sleep; it was extremely helpful to his studies. I'd imagine vampires would have the same advantage in TS4 university... besides the whole sun avoidance thing. That would be a major disadvantage. Still, it was pretty amusing to play university and see all these supernatural creatures attending like it's perfectly normal. I'd like to live in that world.
Okay, actually, one compromise I can think of is, for a normal university expansion, giving us the ability to customize the classes we pick. Maybe some of the classes could be magical ones, while there are also plenty of normal classes as options. I had a friend in college who got to choose which classes he had; I could absolutely see TS4 doing this.

Realism players would be absolutely livid.They are certainly not going to risk losing the realism players that are screaming for Uni.
I'm an Occult player, but I still want my Sims to play with some realism.
Occult players seem to be getting the shaft anyway. It's been over two years since we got our only real Occult Sim - Vampires. I would rather they actually gave us Occults such as Witches and Werewolves (at this point we can't be positive that it will even happen).
That still wouldn't work. They'd skimp on the actual magic and occult players would be livid.
- university where you can go with them but honestly don't mind rabbit hole classes and just living college life in campus
- private school (similar ts2)
- boarding school (similar to ts3)
- online college degrees
With that i think they could expand the boarding school options to include a magical school/school for all occults with a magic pack. I don't need to travel with them to their class cause imo that's what university should be.
I suppose, stretching things to the limit, there could be separate Agricultural, Supernatural and Normal Universities to choose from in one EP if they are winding up Sims 4. Farming, Witches, Education in one Expansion pack.
I think this would be a amazing EP pack
How about careers?Yea they are repetetive but they are not fleshed out. NPC Sims in the Doctor Career never do their job by design, unless the orderly is a Neat Sim. You can't command the Doctors or Nurses at higher ranks, patients don't sit on the waiting area(remember the trailer?) and there are only 3 NPC co workers at that Career, unlike in the trailer. The only way you can go to that hospital is by having a baby, other than that you can't have cure sickness at the hospital, because the time that can be used on that part was spent to another area if the pack(retail). Same with detective.
The scientist career is probably the most fleshed out becuae of its connection with another them, discovering aliens. However remove aliens then the Scientist career feels, empty. But still since there are aliens its good, however the aliens themselves are halfbalked. It feels that they are the thirs theme of the pack, supernatural.
I don't want that to happen again. GT was good because they focused one them, hanging out with friends. CL focuses on Living in the City and I actually feel that when playing in San Myshuno, because of how vibrant and liveley it is(and yes you don't feel living in the city when traveling because there is no traffic, but that is I think the fault of the base game,not thos pack) C&D focuses on the bond between Sims and C&D themselves, in which we even get another major feature connected to that theme(Vet Clinics), Seasons focuses only on, well, Seasons, and Get Famous focuses only on becoming a Celebrity, which makes it better since celebrity is a lot more flesh out this time around with majority of B/B focuses on becoming a celebrity.
And I want that in University. A fully fledged out pack that focuses on one theme and expand them to be greater, rarher than adding another feature for another theme.
If they had 100% budget for packs, I would rather have that spent 100% on university, rather than have that pack budget in which 50% is spent on supernatural and 50% spent on Uni.
