Did anyone else notice that in the "official leak" of the DU EP description, it specifies multiple times that you can study engineering, education, or law. It doesn't state it as if those are just new careers, it says it as if they're the only degrees you can get at university."Take classes that set your Sims up for success in engineering, education, or law careers.""Attend a lecture or work on term papers and presentations – the more your Sim learns, the better they will be in careers like teaching, law, and engineering."Should we take bets on if that's the schtick of this EP? Only able to go to college to study for the new careers that come with the EP. I'm willing to bet that's it, judging by TS4's track record.

I think there are more degrees and with a degree you will start further ahead in the careers from the base game. Isn't that how it worked in sims 2 university?And the education, law, and engineering degrees would require specific degrees, most likely.There's a villainy class mentioned in the description. Why would they include that if the only degrees and career options you get are those new three ones?

Yep. I pointed that out in a thread from last night. That description is very poorly written. If this is the real deal, I can't believe that this is what was written and was approved!I also noticed the "juggling of a soccer ball". Does that mean it's not going to be a group activity with 2 or maybe 4 Sims? I believe bicycling is going to be limited to the Uni world. People shouldn't get their hopes up over that one either. They might recode the other worlds for roads or paths, but we shouldn't set ourselves up for disappointment.Villainy was just...I don't even know what to say about that one. :/ Also, what's the deal with the going to class in dress slacks or jogging pants? HOW is that a major selling point? I get that it's supposed to represent a choice, but why would you consider that important enough to include in a synopsis of this pack?I believe Uni is coming next month, but that description is so weird!

They've prioritized and focused heavily on aesthetics for the entire lifespan of the game thus far, so when I read that I wasn't really surprised. You know that the way your sims dresses is going to have absolutely no impact on the gameplay, despite the "there’s always a way to show school spirit or impress a classmate" tidbit at the end.

I believe bicycling is going to be limited to the Uni world. People shouldn't get their hopes up over that one either. They might recode the other worlds for roads or paths, but we shouldn't set ourselves up for disappointment.

Villainy was just...I don't even know what to say about that one. :/

Regarding the jogging pant/sweatpant thing, it's very much on point with teen-young adult fashion and its relatable and will help sales. And they always mention the cas stuff in the description. Like literally always. Go and look.

And the villiany class, if it's an actual criminal class, is very good classic sims humor and I'm glad we are seeing stuff like that again.

Did they talk about CAS in TS2 & TS3 descriptions? I honestly can't remember. Clothing is not a selling point for me, not with the amount of amazing CC available.

For TS3 it seems like they mostly mentioned it about stuff packs, except this Late Night tidbit (I didn’t check all the packs.)

As for the Sims themselves, they’ve been given new customization options too. It’s not just clothing this time, but their physical appearance can be altered with muscle tone and the size of their breasts.

On the sims 3 box it says:

Take a break and party
Hang out around campus, hold a group study session at the coffee shop or just go bowling

Experiment with social groups
make friends with rebels, jocks or nerds to unlock in game benefits

The World is Your classroom
Attend class, sleep through student lectures and get hands on with lesson specific objects

On the sims 2 university it says:
College town and 125 new items
Play solo or join a band
New life stage
Home plastic surgery kit
Milk the cow plant for energy.

It’s only in the sims 4 is CAS items used as a selling point.
