Discover University: Really Disappointed
Since the last few games packs have been fairly underwhelming, I decided to wait a while before purchasing Discover University. I watched a lot of LPs and the gameplay features looked great, plus ther...

I created an account for the sole purpose of requesting that the robot enhance/upgrade feature gets fixed. It's currently an absolute nightmare. I stopped being able to enhance my robot after level 5, but other people have said they got their robots up to level 10. Given that I'm not winning any contests against level 1 NPC robots, I take it I *should* be able to upgrade further. It'll also occasionally suck up all of the necessary parts without causing anything to upgrade. Feels like a broken vending machine that you wanna shake till you get the drink you paid for.
The secret society was also super disappointing. Getting kidnapped in the middle of the night? Sweet. Having to bring sprites food, metals, and harvestables that you can't get on campus? Not sweet. Without a stove accessible, it's real hard to satisfy a sweet tooth. I've barely found any mining areas on Foxbury's campus, so I can't bring metals. And without the ability to garden, you're seriously out of luck. It's slightly infuriating.
Another issue: if you decide you want to switch active households halfway through the term-- maybe you've got one sim at Foxbury and one at Britechester-- the sim you left will automatically fail the semester! Then they get put on probation. :(
If you're working on a presentation or final paper when 6pm hits at the end of the week, that paper will suddenly change to the name of one of your new classes, but you can't present or turn it in. That means you get not one bad grade, but two.
Also on Foxbury's campus, riding a bike takes longer to get to class than walking does. Overall, combined with other above comments, this pack is messy and feels completely untested. The ideas are fun--personally, I find the rotting food and piles of garbage highly entertaining!-- but the poor implementation totally ruins it for me.
