I recently installed University Life and have sent a sim there to test it out and to "steal" townies as fillers for future saves. While I was there, I found several sims that were pleasing to the eye. I did, of course, have to tweak them a little because all sims I play must pass my gender swap test - if they don't look good as either gender, chances are their offspring of the opposite gender will suffer. Anyway, I got to thinking that this might make a fun genetic game for me. I have now started a new save with Jensen as my main sim and he is currently at uni making friendships with the ultimate goal of inviting them over, one at a time, and having babies with them. This is Jensen. I picked him because, of all the sims I have made, I love his eyes the most
Jensen has finished meeting some males at uni and I will start my baby making part of the game tomorrow (hopefully). I haven't decided which of these two sims I will use first. Below are CAS pics of Eddy Mullis and C*id Serverus (his first name is censored for some reason), in their original form, tweaked form and gender switched
I decided on C*id Serverus as the first baby daddy. Jensen and C*id's 2 kids are now teens. I have a thread chock-full of pics in Stories and Legacies if anyone is interested. Jensen's University Genetics Baby Game can be found here
First born was a girl. Her name is Eda.
As you can see in Eda's teen pic, there are many more kids in the household already
@PlumDiddy I really love what UL brings to the game. I admit that the actual university experience is quite boring for me because I would rather have my sims at home producing babies and getting on with life but even so there are some fun moments while they are there. The new interactions, the bowling and coffee shops and I am sure there are other things I am not remembering off the top of my head make UL an absolute must for me now. I don't think you would be disappointed.
Thanks for the lovely comments I am thinking Tricia is the lucky one - my sims are the prizes in my game LOL
My experience is that University life is less boring when you allow your sim to take their time where graduating is concerned. I really like how the atmosphere and other sims pull you into a partying and celebrating life kind of mood there. I thought it was just me, but following stories of other people's students taught me it is not, a lot of people give their sims the 'proper' students life (including being introduced to the game between sexes) It takes several semesters for your sim to graduate so I vary. One semester is for partying and living the student's life, the next is for cramming. As for gameplay the latter indeed is more boring.
ET: great job on tweaking Eddy and Cid! They're still the same guys but better.
edit: How did the name of a premade townie, named by EA themselves, end up like 'plum' here Can't imagine why either....
@JoAnne65 I might have found the uni experience less boring if I had sent more than one sim. I have huge problems with an empty household - if the number falls below 5 I am wondering what to do with all my time and end up FF through many things. Believe me, my sim partied hard while at uni because he was on a mission to find baby daddies and he managed to get an excellent grade for the 2 semesters he attended. Because I had but the one sim, I had to FF through the classes but the social aspects of uni life were definitely my cup of tea
Thanks I found there were several sims there, including Eddy and C*id that I felt would have great potential for my game. So far I have been right
Yes, to me it felt they finally got the hang of their own CAS at EA's when they created the sims for the campus I love playing just one sim myself I must say. Being able to completely focus on them. Filling time with my sim(s) has never been a problem, one sim day can take a real hour easily, if not more

Thanks @JoAnne65 . I plan on installing UL soon. I actually won it in a giveaway @aricarai held back in december I never attended college in real life so im pretty excited to experience it through the lives of my sims

Wow, that was a great giveaway, congratulations. I did study but that never involved bonfire parties and skinny dipping and keg stands
@JoAnne65 I don't have any of the new worlds and have only tried a few EPs so far, even though I own them, but I think you are right in saying that EA finally got the hang of CAS with UL. The sims there do seem to have a lot to offer
@PlumDiddy Thanks I can't remember where I got the jacket and shirt but I did get it recently probably when following links on friends' simblrs. I hope you enjoy my thread - this save is more fun that I have had in a long while

Thank you. It was a very generous thing for her to do.
And I must say ive had bonfires and gone skinny dipping and participated in keg stands before... but none of it involved studying
