What exactly is the point of TS4 Sims going to college? they do everything over the internet in this game and I can't really think of any careers that would require a degree they can't get on their handy dandy pc and so don't need an actual university building/world. If you think about it I don't know of many more careers since they are already doctors, (other than lawyer etc) police chief, astronauts, game designers, etc. Those careers seem like they might have needed a degree..but what do I know. Maybe game design doesn't these days, but it might help to get some sort of educaton about it before you start to design games, then again look at apps(and their creators),...maybe not.
If that is the way your mind works then why do they need anything? Toddlers? Nah. We have kids. Seasons? The world is pretty enough as it is!
University has a whole new experience for Sims. Socially it can be engaging. Work-wise it can help you advance quicker. Even opens up more career opportunity. Although, I do think they can create it for a GP instead.
Could you please explain what new 'interactions and socials' Sims would get in a University pack? They might also need ideas, but like someone said, you already have GT with clubs.
TS3's Uni. had social clubs, I wouldn't want to see a repeat of what is already in the game.
Like how they turned vet career (but probably still considered unemployed) the same as owning a restaurant. No new idea there, just borrowed mechanics that already existed in GTW and Dine Out.
New socials? like they advertized gay couples in TS3 University as 'experimenting' when you get to college, do you remember that trailer? We already have gender patch..so not much social experimenting would be necessary this time. Unless they want to actually add chemistry for the reasons Sims are attracted (which we don't have yet). But experimenting, it's already in game by their own standards.
Getting nude, already in game. I'm trying to think of what hijinks and social expermenting Sims could do while at college, and bubble blower is already in game. So, I'm sort of at a loss other than like TS2's AL for networking...which these Sims already have it way too easy anyway, so I don't know why they would need to 'network' later in life like call up an old collge buddy...since they are happy and rich 99% of time. No need for that in this game, either. Protesting already in game. So, just about everything young people do or learn in college as far as social is already in TS4.
