I am a university/college student, and I like playing The Sims without university.
I like the most realistic version, because I can relate to my Sims better.

I like the wackiest version, because I want craziest experiences that I probably would never do in real life.

I only played the Sims 2 and Sims 4 university EPs. Sims 4 has bicycles and robotics, which are the main selling point to me, so technically Discover University wins over University Life. Still, for actual uni gameplay I think I still prefer Sims 2. It is better integrated into rotational play and I can see my sims' current study progress without needing a mod.

I don't hate 4's DU. It is solid enough beyond the pathing problems. However, I do have a bone to pick with the grading system. 3's could be finicky, too, and 4's is fairly realistic, but I hate having to guess about my Sims' performance. There should never be a case where my Sim attended all classes/did homework but ended up with an unexpected D in one class and As in all the others because I happened not to notice (s)he was habitually late to one in particular. Yes, realistic, but even when you micromanage you have to be incredibly observant just in case something does happen. A very simple UI keeping me updated on the individual grades or progress bar could have fix this. Not to mention, I still find it kind of odd to have usual neighborhood foot traffic on campus. What are all my 5 star celebrities doing hanging around the dorms?
I suppose my main problem with DU in particular is it sometimes feels unfair in ways the other Uni EPs weren't, especially when you are doing larger households. I find it the most realistic, but that doesn't by necessity make it the most fun.
They are showing off their skills and knowledge and abilities to the students so that the students can become talented celebrities like them.

...but Sims 2 University was a masterclass in the art of integrating college life into broader gameplay. The Young Adult life stage meant something special in that game.
And remember this above all. Our Roman gods are watching. Make sure they are not ashamed!

The Sims 4 playstyle is very similar to The Sims 3 playstyle, in which your main focus in on one Sim, and that's it. Unlike the Sims 3, in which you can easily switch Sims in a household and control those Sims by the minutiae, the Sims 4 does allow you to switch control of Sims in a household, but you also sacrifice direct control. This forces you to only control 1 Sim at a time.
Yeah, I agree. It really sucks.
But, that's The Sims 4.
I am just hoping for a new The Sims game... but if that The Sims game involves online and multi-player, I will pass.
Final Option: I work in a University and I’m sick to the back teeth of students. I have no desire to find them moping around in my game as well. 😂
The reason I bought Sims 4 Uni is because I wanted to play with a secret society and build robots. Mostly build robots. That secret society is …hmm🤔…..how can I put this… The Get Together Club system does the job perfectly alright.
I never played with Sims 2 Uni, but I do own Sims 3 Uni and I like that one, especially The Big Mean Science Machine and getting arrested for street art / vandalism. In Uni 4 there is 0 consequence for teepeeing that statue. I do however like the fact that in Uni 4 a sim is able to live off campus. It makes sense. I mean why would anyone want to live in dorms?
Anyways, Universities are pointless. Just don’t tell anyone. 😝

Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..

The Sims 4 General DiscussionSecond I would say Sims 3, because it felt like it took what made Sims 2 University great, and expanded on it.
Last would be Sims 4, the outfits are good, and the world is nice, but you can't see the grades for the Sims, and it can take pretty long to finish.
