Simmers, classes will be starting soon in The Sims™ 4 Discover University Expansion Pack*! To get prepared, let's take a quick tour of the University of Britechester and Foxbury Institute and find out what collegiate life is really all about!
That's been a wild year for Julia!

same thing here. this district seems big...
also i wonder if you are occult the secret society will have adicional interactions. the screen when appears the society, seems like a secret lot like we have in the basic game.
i love the joke that plumbots will take the world, will be like a side quest? something like strangerville? i dont know, but know I got a little hyper now
Ehhh I think we have enough worlds that it wouldn't bug me. I think what is most important in an expansion is NEW GAMEPLAY! I feel most of the packs suffer because of the pressure to make these huge worlds that so many players want. I am happy with whatever size campus ends up being!
And being able to take out a loan also got me excited. I'm boring, but I like that bit of realism. But, uh, let's not get too real now. Don't want my sims to be elders still trying to pay off that loan.
But speaking of elders, I hope they can go too. I only saw YAs in this trailer.
I also hope the world isn't small. You would think that it wouldn't be with two different schools, but I'm not convinced with this trailer. What I look for with most packs is a large world, and we haven't been getting those as of late.

Julia is honestly a big mood. She aced her exams with a C+!
How is it that we complain about the lack of details and realism into packs, and EA, of course, adds loans rather than murphy beds? They are stealing our money both in real life and virtually.

We are getting more than 4 majors!!! Distinguished majors?? Do we get more credit if we do a distinguished major? Since they mentioned athletic scholarships I wonder if we'll be able to join sports teams, though I doubt it since they haven't talked much about that. Also can we bring our toddlers to uni with us?? Single parent in university storyline? I have so many questions and theories but...
What are your thoughts now on University after seeing the trailer?
The build/buy looks great for my teens bedrooms.
However, I'm not gonna lie.. I'm a little bummed. This is definitely looking like we're not getting Sorority Houses and Frats. Not sure how I feel about "dorms". I don't really like apartments and haven't had any of my Sims live in one, yet.. so hopefully Sims can live at home and go to college.. I know we can move off campus, but was hoping for a sorority and frat system/experience. As I would have loved more group activities (aside from studying, etc).
Happy to see a working cafeteria (end of the trailer), scholarships/loans and a reasonable amount of degrees.

Simmers: C+
Also there's more info to come - the wait seems long, but livestream is just a few days away now!
I'm not fussed about the lack of Greek houses. They're mostly an American thing, and not even all American schools have them (my daughter's doesn't, and it's a large state university in a very large city.) Clubs may not be an ideal solution to substitute in, but it should be a workable one.
Didn't learn a lot new from the trailer, but did get a fair amount of confirmation. It is nice to know you can transfer schools between the two, and it was kinda fun seeing the toddler there.
Hopefully the livestream expands a bit more on what we saw. I've shifted from "Maybe, if it doesn't mess up my gameplay otherwise" to "Eventually... when the pack is on sale" so that's something.
I do hope Adult and Elder Sims are able to attend university as well, this would add so much more realism to the pack. Concerning the new world(s), we didn't see that much, so I'm keeping my expectations low for the moment.
Let's hope the pack delivers, but honestly I think it'll be lacking many features a lot of Simmers would want to see. I'm getting it anyway though, it's perfect for my kind of gameplay and I love Occult Sims, so robots have piqued my interest. Happy Simming, everyone!
the whole "Secret Society" looks like an addition to it.
it makes sense the mysterious nature of Magic and Wisdom is power, are hand in hand. then again I'm just hopeful for more spells and I'm not sure what i saw was "Real" magic but I'm hopeful it could be more spells. that could link into realm of magic.
I like that it's not a Magic University but theres an underground network banding together.
again Soccer, Sketching, Keg Parties. 🍻⚽️🙌🏾
