Edit: Really the debate is University it Island Paradise

tough call for me - but very dependent on whether or not you use NRAAS mods because without it IP isn't playable. IP and ITF are my most recent two expansions (I don't own any stuff packs at all, but I was just debating on Movie Stuff stuffpack or Diesel stuffpack - the lack of decent jeans for males to wear is driving me toward Diesel but my giant movie and sci fi (and RHPS!) geek is driving me towards movie stuff so I'm very torn lol!) I played Uni a LOT when I got it years ago, but now the only time I'd ever play it, I think, is if my teen aged up and went off to uni. I suspect, however, that's because I played it so much that eventually it just lost it's luster for me. IP still has a LOT of luster for me, but it's not just because it's a newer ep for me, it's simply because it's one of the more beautiful worlds and I love the whole diving and island resort thing, and there's still a lot I haven't done. To be honest, in terms of play time only the "big benefit" of uni isn't actually being able to start a career at level 4 because if you worked for that same period of time most likely you'd be higher. The benefit to Uni is just having a lot of fun, really. And student funding - if you're an A student and you apply for student funding as often as possible you'll leave uni being able to afford a pretty decent, though not completely decadent, house. Contrary to @comicsforlife's experience, I haven't had any issues with either of those expansions with IP (then again I play all of the EPs at the same time.) Some have said they don't find the atmosphere of snow very realistic but you can adjust your seasons as long or as short as you want, what weather conditions are acceptable (and you can even set the temperature with testingcheatsenabled.) Places that are warm year round still have Christmas ;)
