    I actually look forward to seeing a Medical School choice included in University or being able to pick different path’s like Business, Medical, Math, Science etc. I’m wondering what sort of good outcome will our sims benefit from when receiving their degree, just hope it is worth it. I haven’t played in 2 months now.... bleh
    Maybe university graduates will enter careers at a higher level and get paid more? Or they'll have careers that require you to have a degree before you can join them, like in Sims 2. But that would be annoying, and it wouldn't make sense for you to not require any education to be, say, a doctor or chef.

    Well there you go peeps. Now that we have Toddlers, Pets, Seasons, Stairs and University, I wonder what are people going to complain about on every TS4 post? :p

    My bet is Farming and possibly Cars (lol) still.

    For me it would be vechiles, firemen and burglars lol!

    I personality want university as an active stage, but only if it enables better things to happen in the game such as Sims starting higher up the career track or being paid more at lower levels.
    I loved the mascots and social aspect of university in TS2. The only sticking point was that university took SO long that at times it felt a bit excessive. It would be nice to have university that takes less time.

    I would also like to see other routes of education like short courses, postgraduate. And I'd love the return of private school!

    I'm not even excited for this pack now because every content The Sims has given us recently feels half finished, slapped together with no real goal or replayability. I'm just worried they're going to ruin it after people have been asking and waiting for the pack for so long! I hate to be negative about a series I've loved since the The Sims 1, but it's almost impossible not to feel that way after being dissapointed by EA over and over again. Usually I pick up a pack the day it comes out but I haven't even bothered with the last two after hearing everyones dissapointment. The Sims is focusing too much on it's look or 'asethtic' and not on actual gameplay, which is good for building but not for actually playing the game.

    Well I really hope the next pack is university. We do need to be careful as leaks have been faked before. With more code or horses discovered recently, I was thinking it might be this.

    But super glad if it is uni and looking forward to the teens I have going.

    - Missing NPC's
    - Better Babies
    - Cars
    - Spiral Staircases
    - Better Traits/personalities
    - More stuff for children

    And much more.

    I’m here for this, but if your Sim attends classes in GTW active career style (goals/tasks), they can keep it.
  • SimTrippySimTrippy Posts: 7,651 Member
    Funny thing is, I bet it would come out mid November. Couldn't have been more spot on regarding the date 😂😂 anyhoo, interested to learn more about it. Not hyped yet, just curious, but I got my spellcasters and my seasons so everything else is just extra 😁

    All these new packs appear to be very rushed through. No wonder we are getting so many bugs. If the rumour is true I expect we will get that and then a large Patch before Christmas.

    all the packs that came out this year till now are really rushed so i hope maybe that they have been working on university even before island living! this is a pack that should be as excellent as seasons

    God yes, it really needs to be good. I mean, I don't care THAT much about Uni tbh, but some people care as much about it as I did about Seasons and Magic. And I'm honestly extremely pleased with both. So I pray for all the people who've been craving University that they'll be just as happy with it. They really, really, really shouldn't mess this up (and for the love of all that is Unholy, EA, FURNISH the darn thing).

    I’m not surprised University is next, but I am disappointed it isn’t a general education pack. I’m not interested in university-only gameplay and would have been much more interested a school pack for all ages.

    I doubt we’ll get a school pack now, which is a shame, as we’ve never had one before. I suppose university is just a lot more in demand than a school based one due to the average age of the fan base. I started playing the Sims when it first came out when I was 15. I’ve bought every new base game and almost every pack they released in the past 20 years, but I do feel that older (and by older, I mean not teenaged or early twenties) fans are being left behind a little by this game, which is a shame, as we have shown the most customer loyalty over the years. The gameplay is just too limited to the young adult stage. Ugh, rant over.

    I hope that they make this game flexible in its customisation like they did with seasons and making your own holidays and choices. I have always found the past university expansions to be incompatible with my own experiences of uni because they are so based on American university experiences. Fair enough, it’s an American made game, but with most things, they try to make a Moreno international styled game as this game is such a bestseller worldwide.

    Sororities, mascots, majors/minors - this is a different world to what happens here in the UK. I’d like to be able to customise details so they match more closely with what I think of when I think of uni. Even choosing a three year degree instead of 4, calling the years something else (1st year, 2nd year etc.). And for people from other countries, they could customise details to match their experiences. The gameplay wouldn’t change much, but it would feel much more immersive to make small changes like that.

    I also hope you can do a masters or a pHD and that it isn’t campus based.

    Finally, this pack could be amazing if they use it as an opportunity to do something new that could be used game-wide, such as a band/musician system or a more developed sports system. That would alleviate my disappointment.

    Longest post, sorry!

    So when is the Legacy Game being released or will it be released at all? I would have thought it should have been before University. Did all change with SimGuruDuke in charge rather than Grant? It's rather like Maxis are hurrying up to finish what they are working on because it's the beginning of the end for Sims 4. I hope not though.

    Maybe the Legacy Game comes after the New Year and would a Farming EP benefit more then with 64bit?

    Yay! This could be an interesting expansion pack, if they shake it up a bit. :)

    It’s slightly better than:

    Get To University
    Get a Diploma
    Get To School
    And an even better title than

    Get Debt
    Get Loans
    Get Broke

    Get Juiced
    Get Hazed
    Get Laid

    Cool!! But I wish they did a general school pack, I’d find it more interesting and needed (there isn’t even a proper school building!!) than just university.

    Freshman
    Level One = Fall Semester

    Sophomore

    Junior
    Level Five = Fall Semester
    Level Six = Spring Semester

    Senior
    Level Seven = Fall Semester
    Level Eight = Spring Semester

    Graduation

    And Maybe Class time is Live active Careers where you just complete or work on an assignment before it's due at the end of a the week or so.
    This stuff is really quite weird to me.

    Uni here is often only 3 years, and the way the year is divided varies. Some universities have two semesters per year, others have 3 trimester, and some are by 4 terms. Our university year typically starts in February aka, in summer.
