2019 should be the year of University

I would rather see a school pack, in other words a pack that includes day care, elementary and high school along with a university. They could have 3 to 4 teaching careers. I like the active careers. And I would love for them to at least come out with an elders stuff pack. Elders and teens seem to have the least things to do to me.

I absolutely agree!!! There should be so much more for education and learning. I mean, they do well with schools / homework / projects / scouting / drama atm but there is definitely room for so much more, including the Day Care career like they had in TS3. A great EP pack would be principally a University pack where:

1. Sims could go to University like they did in TS2 and 3, but with more subjects as there were in TS2, especially History and Archaeology, which would tie in well with the current Archaeology skill. This more academic focus would contribute to higher pay in jobs, further skill gain with special rewards, and maybe even something to collect (for 'Collector' aspiration, maybe), like education-themed objects and diploma certificates. Sims could go at any age from Teen upwards, as they did in TS2 / 3, though perhaps it might be more suitable if they get the option to go upon aging up from Teen to Young Adult, to make it more realistic.

2. As an alternative to a 'traditional' college / university, Sims could also go to their community college to work on skills, and pay for skills classes, like they could in previous incarnations of The Sims. Teen Sims could also do an apprenticeship as an alternative to a paid after-school job to pick up some new skills that will prepare them for the world of work. Also, if adult Sims didn't get their High School Diploma, they could get it via evening class.

3. School for kids could remain much the same, but with the option of going to a private school or one that specialises, like in TS2 and especially 3.

4. Day Care should return as a career! It was great fun.

Let's hope 2019 really is the Year of the University! I'd call it 'Sims 4 Edu', or something similar, as a new EP.

Happy Simming!
