Discover University - Early Access - My first honest impressions

Thanks to EA for allowing me early access



I was not particularly excited when this EP was leaked and after it was officially announced and I saw the listed features I was even less excited. EPs for TS4 tend to always come with huge compromises for the player and I thought this would be no exception. At some point after the trailers and the livestream I even thought it might feel emptier than Island Living (which should have been a GP in my and many others opinion).

But even with all that, I still came to the pack with an open mind once it was installed. Like with every pack that comes for TS4, I really, trully, want to like it.

CAS

By now, you have already seen al the CAS in videos and blog posts. CAS has been consistently good for the last couple of years, they make beautiful assets by now and you can tell they got the hang out of it. DU is no exception, CAS is almost perfect. Most of the clothes look so comfy and wearable, textures are great in most cases and the clothes feel "alive". The style is very fitting to the pack and I love to have more basic and simple items in my game for my laidback sims.

Kids and toddlers don't get anything which is an unfortunate trend, I would have appreciated at least a t-shirt with the university logos. Also maybe a couple more full outfits for masculine sims would have been nice.
I love the new tattoos although some of them are almost inintelligible. Piercings are a good addition to the game and fit in the pack BUT the eyebrow ones are really chunky and don't look good or realistic at all. I really like the nose piercings though. I wonder why they didn't add lip ones and hoops.

Here are some of my favourite hairstyles and outfits
