I had a short list of "wants" for a Uni pack, some we got, some are still NO INFO yet.
1) nice campus/world..................CHECK.......We got two campuses and a nice European style world.
2) scholarships/part time work....NO INFO.....Don't know about scholarships or if a sim can work their way through college.
3) robots.....................................CHECK........We can build several robotic objects including a bot to add to our household.
4) new careers.............................CHECK........We got three (probably/hopefully rabbit holes).
5) secret society...........................CHECK........Although we haven't seen or heard anything about it, we do have it in the pack. I do wonder if it's one SS for both schools or will each school have a different SS that also has a rivalry with the other.
So, along with most of my wants being a given now, plus many more things that I didn't expect or know I wanted until I saw them (shower woohoo, bikes and toilet stalls), I'm very pleased at this point. But this point is before the LS and the actual game drop. It's possible that there maybe one or two things that disappoint me (so what, we all don't get everything we want in a pack) or I could be greatly disappointed, but I don't think that will happen. It looks like a fun, fully fleshed out pack and I'm excited.
I have several plans but my main idea is to have twins go to different colleges and be rivals. Could be a fun story to play. I like Uni packs because they can be a totally self-sufficient way to play. You move to college, go to classes, hang out with friends, walk/bike around the town. Everything happens in one world, sort of a throw back to past versions.
I had the twin idea too and thats why I wonder how the dorms will be structured.
There are three basic options
1. Each University has its own dorm and only sims attending that University can stay there. Like in real life.
If this the case then you would have to play the twins as too separate households as they will live in two separate dorms and then switch
between them.
2. Each University has its own dorms but sims can stay in which ever they want.
The twins could stay in the same dorm and you could play both at the same time but the colours and look of the dorms would only be of one
the twins University and may mess with the story line.
3. There is a central dorm area that the Universities share.
The twins could stay in the same dorm and you could play both at the same time , maybe the dorm colours and look are neutral and that can
work for the story line.
No obviously if you want them in separate households anyway or want them to stay off-campus/in a house in the town then this doesn't matter.
But I kind of pictured my twins each living in the dorms but then was worried about splitting the time and missing out on things.
