I'm truly surprised so far in the effort they put in the bikes they even animated using the kick stand little details like that are important to me.

Do our male Sims ever get anything? I would not hold my breath on that object.

SimGuruFrost basically confirmed Bikes being exclusive to this EP, so that also basically confirms that they are NOT usable in other worlds, and are only for Teens - Elders.

it could be that they come as an objects in THIS EP and not a patch, no? and that means there is a chance for them to be usable in other worlds..no?

That's what I was thinking as well. Unless I missed something else where SimGuruFrost more clearly implied that bikes would be locked to the DU world, all that he confirmed was that the bikes will be exclusive to the pack and not in the pre-patch.

I wouldn't hold my breath. They cannot make new bikes if they are a pack exclusive item. Normally they patch at least one of the items in the base game (such as lounge chairs) so they can keep adding more in other packs.

They can make more bikes for other packs without adding them to the base game. In TS2 cars were exclusive to Nightlife, but they later added a new car in FreeTime & it was fully functional without needing Nightlife. They are doing things similarly in TS4 too (for example drones were exclusive to Get Famous but now they're adding more drones in Discover University).

There was no way they were going to give bikes away for free in the first place anyway, given how detailed the animation is compared to TS3 bikes. The only reason cars & bikes were in TS3 base game is that they needed them for transportation due to the open world. They didn't really have a choice (which is why they cheaped out on animation)

Standing bar tables! I am very happy to finally get those. I hope you can put bar stools next to them.

There's also a wall decoration that looks like a London Underground station sign, making this feel more British to me, which I really like (being a Londoner). The new windows and doors look beautiful on the old university buildings.

Okay, I'm pretty excited for this one...

EDIT:
Also, there are a fair few slanted walls in the Foxbury institute pictures and gabled buildings in the images of the town centre. I wonder if these features are new Build mode tools or purely for the background decorative buildings.

And also, I totally imagined a canal going through the town yesterday after the teaser was announced. I even mentioned it on that thread. And now there is actually one there, I'm pretty proud of myself, in a lame way, for guessing that right.

That plum! You know what? That’s fine with me

Not with me.

People should stop settling for less all the time. Why do you think this game is shallow as plum? Because EA can get away with it, and this attitude shows.

Give them more reasons to make halfbaked content.

I’m sorry, but I honestly don’t care for bikes (or cars, for that matter). And that’s not “attitude”, that’s just preference. It’s also not “settling”.

My sensitive point in this pack is that I want plenty majors to choose from, and they will hear from me if that’s not the case.

Everyone has their own sensitive points.

Same. They better not only have three majors!

There are university mascots and the Britechester and Foxbury logo can be seen on different types of clothing, I hope the swatches of the athlete career's cheerleader outfit get an update to include these too.

I didn’t see any elders, so I guess it’s YA and possibly Adult only.

I am cautiously excited for bicycles, hoping they will be both useable in all worlds and possible to decorate with when building.

I kind of don't think there will be more than 3 subjects/careers to study, seeing as that seems the norm for the game in general. At least if they have some interactive parts, like the careers where you can choose to work from home.

I also want to know if university is only for young adults and if they have to live in dorms or on campus. Where I live it's not unusual for people of all adult ages to study at the university, especially when reaching higher levels like doctorate degrees and research. I have no idea how dorms work either, since it's not a thing in my country, so I hope we can have our students live off campus in all worlds.

Since they added toilet stalls, I wonder if they added urinals too. In the trailer they showed a female restroom, not a male one, so it's possible that they added urinals too for male restrooms.
