I'm mostly just interested in the photobooth from that list, and maybe the cinema, that would be cool.
For me, since with the name of it I don't think it'll include grade school stuff, I'm really hoping for
a playable prof career,
student loans,
bunk beds,
scholarships
new skills
new aspirations
school jackets/sweatshirts
sports team
new careers
roommates
hmm. not sure what else haha. I feel like this is a pack that i'll buy, but I'll probably wait until the next stuff pack is out and bundle it with the ROM one hahaha! (I own all the other stuff packs so I have to wait LOL)
Online dating feature
Bunk beds, Murphy beds
Actual roommate NPCโs like the ones that were in the dorms in TS3(idk if TS2 has, havenโt played uni in that)

But more classes and more careers
Also a teacher/professor career.

Game Day and the Mascots go head to head.

- Possibly bands/ sports
Bocce
Rowing
Pub crawls
University club tshirts
Optional options.
The ability to tailor our sims university experiences, and not be restricted to only one narrow version of the university experience
Pranks, such as putting a small car in an elevator, hoisting the deans underpants up a flagpole, cooking pancakes while in a lecture, putting clingfilm under toilet seats, putting buckets of water on doors...
More optional options.
A wider variety of accommodation options, eg, commute from home, live near campus with your family, live with your granny, who is also attending uni, share housing, extreme share flatting (aka, how many students can hot-bed in one tiny flat)...
Vending machines, that supply EVERYTHING! Need clean underwear? Get it from a vending machine. Need some drinks to take to a party? There's a vending machine for that. Forgot to go grocery shopping? Stop by the grocerystore in a vending machine! Want a burger, or pizza, or hot dog, or chips? Hot snack vending machine! (Who knows how long the stuff has been in there... your sim is juiced, the food is fried, so all is well with the world)
Laptops that you can use anywhere! On the floor! On the loo! In the bath! In bed! Laptops that you can stream with, who needs a tv?

Joke
Bonehilda. Nothing was funnier than putting her in a dorm, and watching her mess up my roomie's lives ๐
Also, being able to go to college and not live on campus. You could still have activities that you have to travel there for, where your sim can go alone or you can chose to go with, but I'd really like to be able to live off campus or pretend my sim goes to a college in San Myshuno and lives in an apartment with roommates rather than in a dorm. That would also help with replay value, then you could just make up your own fun college experience if you got tired of the school that came with the game.
I'd also like:
- After school clubs/activities for teens to earn credits/prepare for University
At least 2 or 3 new careers (could be some rabbit hole ones and some semi-active (City Living style)
- Pool/Billiard
- Table tennis with beer pong option
- As mentioned already but I want to really get this idea through: an overhaul of the education system for the Base Game (as an update in the patch before the EP)
- Customizable dorms
- A roommate system
- An option for Sims to get a university degree from home (distance learning)
- Frisbee (but well done, not like mud/snow fights)
- Sports (some sort of new sportive activity added, competitions would be cool)
All my creations are CC free.
Hopefully! I think we can expect them to not add to much of the things that are already in GT for free in university. They'll want people to miss those things and want to get GT as well. I bit of a bummer for those that want partying and a lot of social life in college, but on the other hand, they're probably going to be great together for those who have both.
What I do want is the option to go to university as a rabbit hole (either for a long period or a daily commute), the ability to take classes online or at night for Sims with jobs or kids, and for teens who have an 'A' in secondary school to have the option of starting university.
I would not mind a 'semi-active' career as an online teacher - I think that could work well, allowing your Sim to disappear into a rabbit hole when you want, or to keep her at home and do tasks related to teaching online students.
I want options for teens that will help them at university, and I want university degrees to give Sims a boost in their career prospects.
And homeschooling and private school for kids and teens.
It would be awesome if they did that for all classes. And have the options like "Fall asleep" or "Take notes" like in TS3 as well.
I just would love to be able to cross the skills and careers from other packs into the university setting somehow.
Also festival-like events that pop up around the new world (keg party, sports event, art party, etc)
Plus of course objects like the old murphy bed, beer/nectar kegs, vending machines for food and drink etc.
