Discover University worth buying?
Seeing as we are some time into release now I am wondering if University is worth buying? The only EP I don't have yet are this one and Island living but I didn't buy that one because people say it's ...

I will have Discover University in my hands sometime during the upcoming week, but from what I've seen it's a solid EP compared to Island Living, which doesn't have much gameplay "storywise", it's mostly landscape and taking your time with seeing the island and living next to the ocean.
One major disappointment with Discover University is that it didn't arrive with new traits and aspirations, thought there is a Mod out there that remedies this fact, if you like adding such stuff to your game. One thing I adore with Discover University is that our Sims can attend college while living off-campus. So many story ideas can come out of it. Overall, I would recommend Discover University over Island Living for sure.
Even if DU did not introduce new traits, it actually do a good job on the traits side, that many simmers seem to have ignored! We finally get good use of some of the odd traits that can be purchased in the reward system. My "not needing so much sleep" sim was able to use the nights to study, when everyone else in their residential dorm were asleep, she had full access to their computer etc. It was very useful not needing to focus as much on her homework and term papers etc during the day. There are also traits like "night owl", "quick reader" and more that should be very helpful to students. So - the traits system definitely gets an impact from this EP :)
