Once they’ve decided where they’ll be staying for the term, Sims can start exploring the town, attend the meet and greet for new students, or start studying (or partying) right away. Sims University is a rather attractive little town, complete with English style university departments, as well as a number of community lots, dormitories, sororities, fraternities, and small houses. The rest of your family is suspended while you load the university town. If they are overworked (or they goof off in class), it is possible they will fail their final exam! Either way, once they enrol, the Sims head off to the university ‘sub town’, which is much like the World Adventures holiday towns. A Sim can only stay at university for two weeks at a time, and there is a limit to the number of credits they can earn in a term, so it is unlikely that they will complete their degree in one visit. A degree is 48 credits, and a term is one week.
They may even earn a scholarship to reduce study fees.Ī Sim may enrol in university at any time, choosing the degree they wish to study for, how many terms they wish to stay, and how heavy their workload should be. For instance, an artistic Sim with a high painting skills will receive credits towards a Fine Art degree. It analyses their personality, skills and job experience, and awards credit for appropriate degrees.
Among other goodies, this kit contains an aptitude test that Sims can complete. When you first start up your household, a university mascot will bring you a welcome kit. And if you liked that expansion pack, you’ll really love this one.Īs the name suggests, University Life adds the ability for Sims, young adult and older, to attend university and potentially earn a degree that will give them a bit of an advantage over less educated Sims. If you played The Sims 2 University, you’ll know more or less what to expect from The Sims 3 University Life.
The first Sims 3 expansion pack of 2013 has arrived.
