The Sims 3 University Blogs - read em' and share your comments here!

Two words: VENDING MACHINES! :mrgreen:

Also, thanks for bringing back the original cheer from the Sims 2 University. Now could y'all PLEASE do us a favor and publish the words to that cheer? I'd kind of like to cheer along with the cheerleader, but it's hard to do when I can't quite make out the words. The only ones I know for sure are: Gerbits, Gerbits, Vo Gerbits!!!

I'm NOT excited to send my sims to University.............

Aw, poor baby. Are you still mad because you thought you could pressure EA into making your precious Reality TV expansion pack by posting it as a done deal , and found out you couldn't?

Anyway, you know the old saying:

"Don't like it? Don't buy it!"

(Sorry folks, but considering who is doing the pouting, I felt it had to be said).

The 2 greatest EPs for Sims 2 were IMHO Seasons and University ...
therefore I am happy that, after Seasons, we now get an University Expansion for Sims 3 as well
(and of course I hope that "University Life" for Sims 3 will be as great as "University" was for Sims 2 :) )

(I also hope that a great radio station comes with the EP ... in Sims 2 times "College Rock" was the best Sims 2 radio station I ever listened to :) )

YaaaY!! :D

Totally excited for *BOWLINGGG* Wooooo Finally!!

:mrgreen:

I got university already and I think its super fun until University was over :( and you have to say goodbye to your friends!

Thx, at least Sheila and Preston will be fine while Mason is at University.

@bebasim - Wait, it isn't really that complicated. I wasn't sure what exactly you wanted to do, hence all of the choices. In order for a sim to be controllable, they must be a member of your traveling party or your active household.

I think all you really have to do is wait until the term is over and, once back home, use MC > Add Sim > Homeworld > (filter to Uni) on your home lot to add the sim to your active household. Would strongly suggest having Overwatch, ErrorTrap, and Traveler in play though to clean up any duplicate sim data.

It's only tricky while living in a dorm, if you move the bf out and back in again, he may still be an uncontrollable roommate which is not what you want. The problem is that you can't move your own sim off campus in the middle of the term because she will then stand to lose her class schedule and will have to drop out. This is one of those special things about Uni World that one has to be careful with.

In the meantime, until this term is over, you can't exactly force him to study but you can feed and try to take care of him. :)

Terms can be one or two weeks. If your sim is on a two week term, she doesn't go home in between. When the two week term is over, then she returns home. And if she doesn't have enough credits to have graduated, then she may register for a new one or two week term. Or start a new major, sims don't have to settle for getting only one degree each.

On her second trip to Uni, assuming there will be one, she can bring any members of the household she wants. There is no reason for the traveling party to be one and only one sim if there are other members of the household eligible to attend. The NRaas Traveler mod also lets you bring members of other local households as long as they are friends, all of whom will be controllable by you during the term. I had seven sims in my most recent Uni batch all together, but from different households back home. This is how I get cousins to bond and not drive myself crazy trying to send what could be dozens of sims through Uni one at a time.

So the short version is, if he is a member of your household back home (by way of MC > Add Sim for example) then you are controlling him back home and the two of the can go to Uni together for a second one or two week term. Or as many terms as they want and can afford. :)
