Are You Buying Discover University?

No way.

Every single thing is a rabbit hole. No new game play, nothing to add to my sims lives. It looks pointless, another cash grab with no effort. I’ll give them this one thing: at least the stream was honest advertising - watching the players start off bored and end up painfully desperate to do anything else, with no real aim or purpose in playing, doing nothing that makes sense, just taking a long time to go absolutely nowhere.

I’m done with this nonsense. Hope Paralives is good.

AbsoFrickenlutely!! I wish we didn’t have to wait ANOTHER week ??

I already pre ordered it and after watching the stream I went to cancel it and support said they don't refund expansion packs. Even if it's a pre order..

Despite seeing some things in the livestream that I object to *cough*no stoves in dorms*cough*, they were outweighed by things I did like so I've changed my mind.

I will get it but I can't afford it, so I'll have to wait until it's SERIOUSLY discounted in a sale.

Yea we didn’t have stoves in the dorm I lived in. Just a mini fridge and microwave. Otherwise get food at the food court. But I understand. Options right? I feel it will be more “dorm like” without stoves. :)

I'll be re-watching the livestream today as I was only able to catch the last half hour yesterday. Excited for so many things. Especially CAS as I'm usually not one to drool over CAS. ?

More interested/excited in it from the recently new sourced info. I’ll watch the live stream a little later as well. Can’t wait.

If I would mostly play the sims, then I would buy it. But there are too many other games releasing now that I would rather play.

Maybe... Sword & Shield release on the same day. More bang for my buck.

Poetry readings, debate clubs, robotics, cybernetics, scholarships, customizable dorms, the ability to have roommates anywhere, 2 campuses, shower woohoo, the cafeteria, (even some of the rabbit hole) events, new painting options, soccer, new careers (even if unfortunately only semi-active), another world with a swimmable body of water, bikes (that are actually well animated for TS4), and probably some stuff I'm forgetting? Yeah, sure! :D

This is exactly what I was about to say!!
You forgot to mention secret societies ?
I don't know why this pack has so many complaints. No pack has everything everybody wants. I wanted active classes and I wish the soccer game event was live not a rabbit hole.
But for what it is they look like they put a lot of effort into it! I'm definitely buying!
Those lack luster areas like the dorm and cafeteria I'm going to redesign to my liking. ?
I'm also super impressed with biking. I wasn't expecting it to be that well animated lol

Since the live stream, I am all the more determined. I've been saving since the EP was a speculative rumour, so I'm likely getting it on release day.

Yes, I'll get it. It's not the biggest deal to me but I also think it's a fundamental part of the game and I will definitely play with it.

I'm not planning to send a simself to university. It'll be an option for some favorite sims for whom it makes sense.

I think it will add differentiation between the households as some sims push their children into university while others let their kids just go out and start working. Needing to find ways to pay for school will also be a challenge. You can have educated sims or ones who are just wealthy and not that educated. You can also have some sims go through the "school of hard knocks".

I see new areas of conflict and tension in a rotation with sims of different socioeconomic classes. "Are you good enough to marry my offspring?"

It would be nice if the degrees also tie in with GTW. As they release more packs, I think there need to start being crossover interactions between packs in situations like that.
