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.

If it were only these three choices they would have stated it as "...the better they will be in the careers of teaching, law, and engineering."

They didn't mention Greek Houses. I wonder if that is too taboo in this pc world we are living in. Disappointing if they no longer will include those.

It seems to only be a thing in the US, and I'm thinking that they're dropping it since it's not just an american game. To me it seems like the sensible choice, if it's not a part of uni for the majority of the player base, why keep it in just because it's common in the country where the game is produced?

A little search can tell you why Greek Houses are not as acceptable as they used to be. And every stereotype reference to G.Houses are basically true. But they also do great community work so it's a hard decision for Ivy League colleges in the US.

Greek living is alive and well irl so I don’t understand what you mean,

Many colleges here are dropping them because of too many bad things happen sometimes. It's become a thing here to get rid of them.

Where is ‘here’?

I graduated college 3 years ago. My Alma mater had to shut down 6 Greek houses since then for extremely troubling reasons.
