So I'm assuming this is a Residential World meaning your sim whether they go to Uni or not can live there or visit. Gamepacks so far are the only packs that's offered Destination Worlds.

Hmm interesting. To me it looks like there won't be much besides the campus itself, but I may be mistaken. Why do you think it will be a full residential world. Maybe I missed something interesting :)

Because this is an Expansion and Gamepacks seem to be the only packs that add Destinations. I could be wrong though.

Possible but then Seasons didn't add a world at all and GTW only added Magnolia Promenade. I have a feeling it will be campus only. Although I do kinda wonder if both universities share the same map? Looks like it somehow.

I like the Gothic Architecture. The turrets, and even has some Second Empire Designs. mainly fawning over the Build content
I would imagine both worlds are a Destination/Hidden Worlds. Like Get to Work. A sim could access it, and reside there by being admitted to the school.

I feel more inclined to send my sims to Britechester. Doesn't seem too Preppy, or Condescending.

I hope there is a 64x64 lot on campus I built a "High School" based off of One of my local Colleges buildings, and I wonder if I can fit it in Brite chester.

From the blog, it shows the Foxbury Campus

A view of the world?

Still can't tell if there's one big world or two small worlds for each campus. I think its one big one....

Sorry they're so big :weary:

Just FYI - in response to someone asking if there are any buildable lots in the campuses or if they are only shell buildings. :)

Edit: typo

I think the World will have 3 neighbourhoods judging from the trailer

The University of Britechester


The Foxbury Institute


And Britechester itself


Edit: added some more pics

I'm expecting what ends up being technically 3 or 4 neighborhoods, but in pairs that could technically be the same maps

One neighborhood for each primary campus, and one neighborhood for each campus' dorm buildings. Depending on how they have things set up, the campuses and the dorm buildings could each be the same for both campuses, with just some cosmetic rebranding depending on which campus you're attending, but I'd think that at least the dorms would be different - assuming you can have active sims in the same family attending different universities.

Yes, I hope it is a working town or towns. I may even have a few sims stay on there as faculty. I'm always running out of empty lots since I make some into community spaces. I just went on a spree of that so I have only one or two blank lots left.

This but then a 5th neighborhood for community lots.

I'm pretty sure the actual classes would all be rabbit holes (since they didn't show any lectures/classrooms in the trailer) so I don't know what the purpose of having a primary campus neighborhood is. I think the campus and the dorms would all be in the same neighborhood, along with libraries and buildings for extracurricular activities (like robotics).

5 would be really generous as we haven't gotten 5 neighborhoods in a pack since City Living three years ago (Island Living for example only had 3 neighborhoods).

I'm expecting one neighborhood for University of Britechester, one for the Foxbury Institute, and one for off-campus housing & community lots, for 3 neighborhoods in total.

Sadly we'll most likely have to wait till the November 8th Livestream for info on this world.
