Could Realm of Magic and University connect?

I sure hope so. I so want an Xmen School, a Community College, High School, Jr High School. Elementary, Preschool, Avengers Academy, Justice League School, Supernatural School, etc...

Oooh, interesting.

Unlikely. The only do smaller cross-pack features, not something big like another campus. I would love It, but I can see why not. People have been asking for way more than just a university, they want a Get to School with at least one thing for each age group and If the regular University requires a full EP to It, imagine ALL school levels...

Sims 2 came with more than one campus so I believe it's possible for the Sims Team to include both a regular and a magic school.

I very much doubt it, only because they tend not to have their DLC interact all that much. In part to avoid "DLC for DLC" accusations, but also because they just try to focus only on how any packs interact with the base game, and not with each other (even when... they should really check... how the packs interact with each other >.>)

Unless they went wayyyyyyy different for a school pack, and school were sort of player-built, with players being able to "add" schools and set what skills they focus on and stuff - in which case they might be intentionally opening the door for a build-your-own-Hogwarts, but that would be a new direction for an education pack, so is entirely in "baseless wild speculation" territory.

I don't think it will specifically connect, but I'm sure you'll probably be able to include some magic-y builds in your University world when that comes out.

In the live stream yesterday the gurus said "schools of magic" but also tried to correct themselves to say "styles of magic." Kinda like how sim guru ninja mispronounced "familiar" as "fermiliar" to the point where sim guru romeo believed that "familiar" was a word meaning similar and "fermiliar" was the mystical pet that follows your spellcaster around (nope, they're both "Familiar"). Also, romeo accidentally called configurable stairs "spiral stairs" by mistake (which lead some to speculate that EA is working on spiral stairs, but I disagree). My point is, in the stream they said A LOT OF THINGS, many of them were slips of the tongue.

The use of the word "School" doesn't mean University will be directly related to ROM. However, I assume University will be customizable enough that your university can look like Hogwarts.

I would suspect / hope that if we get Universities, and I think we will at some point, and also have RoM then we should be able to have a Magical School, even if we have to build it ourselves. We could even make it on the community lot in Glimmerbrooke if we didn't want to give up a residential building. It would be cute to do. Although a school and a little pub/shop would be great for the students to frequent and then a couple of houses for local magical Sims to live. I can absolutely see it now.

Hmm...an entire new campus might be a bit much for a cross-pack feature, but it would be great if they offered magic options for your program of study

Packs do not connect like this in Sims 4 its not going to happen every "expansion" that should expand on the base game and other packs has become a mini game.

My First Pet Stuff is useless unless you have the Pets EP. Perhaps they could have a Magic School/Education gamepack released in the future that adds onto University and allows us to follow kids and teens to school

That would be perfect for an Education EP. Its what I'm hoping for even if it's unlikely, as it would allow us to build any kind of school just as we can build any kind of restaurant or retail lot.
