    4. Arcade or other new lot type
    5. Follow sims to class/labs
    6. Football or other playable sport
    7. Bands with new instruments
    8. Added school activities for children and teens
    9. More than one type of university to choose from

    $3
    1. Majors tie into existing careers across all packs
    2. Fraternities and sororities
    3. Dorms/Roommates
    4. New rabbit hole/work from home careers
    5. Online classes
    6. Pottery or new hobby/skill
    7. Keg party or other event type
    8. Events like city festivals spawning in the quad
    9. Rabbit hole activities like cheerleading

      Bolding the ones I'm dying for.

      $5
      1. Big new world
      2. Active teaching career
      3. Build and customize your own schools
      4. Follow sims to class/labs
      5. Bands with new instruments
      6. Added school activities for children and teens

      $3
      1. New rabbit hole/work from home careers
      2. Online classes
      3. Pottery or new hobby/skill

      $1
      1. Bunk/Loft Beds
      2. Ping Pong
      3. Photo Booth
      4. Murphy Bed
      5. Laptops
      6. Mind altering harvestables
      I cut "More than one type of university to choose from" since I feel that types wouldn't really matter if I could customize the school. Assuming I can change the curriculum/tuition fees/housing, of course. But if "build and customize your own schools" just means you choose how it looks and stuff, I'd go with the other option.

      I cut "big new world," partly because I'd be fine with university being like active career lots, even if it meant you couldn't live at school. But the big reason for cutting it is because I needed to cut something to keep within my budget. Mind altering harvestables were added because I was left with an extra dollar in the end.

      I want bands and more instruments. Or honestly, just instruments. We can simulate a band well enough already, but you can't really have a good band when the game is lacking so many classic instruments.

      Tbh, I never liked the university portions of University packs. Too long and intrusive, though giving us options to go to class might spice things up. But online classes would free up a lot of time. And if we can get an education from home that way, I'd have nearly all my sims take them.

      I want laptops again, even if they're not as good as they were in Sims 3. I don't think I want to get StrangerVille any time soon, and SV's laptops were 🐸🐸🐸🐸.

      Not for me it's not. Vacations would be last on my list.

      This was so hard, but quite fun to do. My picks are:

      $5
      Big new world
      Arcade or other new lot type
      Bands with new instruments (smaller pianos pretty please?)
      Added school activities for children and teens (they really need more to do. Ballet classes?)

      $3
      Majors tie into existing careers across all packs
      Dorms/Roommates
      New rabbit hole/work from home careers (teacher, researcher, librarian, and something more practical like mechanic or plumber)
      Online classes (I really want an open university/college option for working adults or parents who want to better their education from home)
      New hobby/skill e.g. origami or something like that

      $1
      Bunk/Loft Beds
      Ping Pong
      Pool Table
      Photo Booth
      Laptops (that sims can actually close and use on their laps or anywhere else)

      I also want more interesting traits e.g. socially awkward, cultured, eccentric.

      This is a neat way of doing this!

      $5- $25

      Big new world
      Arcade or other new lot type
      Bands with new instruments
      Football or other playable sport
      More than one type of university to choose from

      $3 - $12
      Dorms/Roommates
      Online classes
      Pottery or new hobby/skill
      Keg party or other event type

      $1 $3
      Bunk/Loft Beds
      Pool Table
      More take out options

      (I will admit it was really hard choosing between having a $3 keg party and laptops/murphy bed/ping pong table, and in fact originally took out the party, but it just wouldn't feel like university without it. )

      It's kind of sad that I have to point out that anything I say is only just my opinion and may be a different one from someone else.

      Sub-Total: $7

      Total: $37

      But there's a few things there that I could switch around. I'm starting to think that I'd rather have a small world, if that means they'll pack the expansion FULL of playable content. Not repetitive content, either. I want content that I can use for generations. I want sororities, frats, pool tables, ping pong, I also want pledges to have to do dares, and tasks, and I want them to hold "charity events", to raise money for new stuff for their houses. To host big parties, I want lectures to make a come-back and D: alllll kinds of stuff. They could even bring back the "reputation" system from The Sims 3 University. I definitely want some more traits, too. (Those could add 3 more dollars to total 40, for me.)

      I want a medium sized town (college towns usually grow up around the college). I'd like it to have three neighborhoods: the academic neighborhood for the college proper, the town neighborhood for the businesses that surround college life (comic book store, Pizzeria hangout new lot and object: pizza oven, etc.) and the housing neighborhood for dorms, Greek houses, homes of professors you can play and apartment buildings with rentable apartments (new feature). There should also be a hidden lot: the Secret Society.
