hmm that's a difficult question....since i generally do not like it at all!! but i do like the authenticity of it and the fact i do not have to babysit every sim in there but yeah… i hate the fact the game just generates more stupid random sims to serve as roomies which are nothing but a nuissance and now i also found out the game can force romance onto my sims without my permission and unless i shift click reset my sims there is absolutely nothing i can do to prevent this meaning i have to lock my sims in their room to prevent this from happening????? yeah that's just another huge reason for me to just get my degrees at home! i do not really enjoy the game forcing my sims into romances with sims i do not want to be part of my gameplay. i prefer the random townies to stay out of my gameplay and yeah...forced romances aren't things i enjoy

It will be interesting to see how the roomies behave in my custom dorm.
I like the extra visitors: friends, family, and dormie friends and love interests.
The dorm feels really alive.

pretty much this: the dorm lot is more alive than any lot so far in this game though yeah….since i absolutely hate the extreme dominance of the random townies in this game it just doesn't make it enjoyable enough for me to bother because yeah...95% of the visitors are also nothing but randoms….

At one point I was really enjoying it.
I had made over the dormies that had joined my sims and they were really cool sims.
I really liked my sims getting to know them and it was funny that they had love interests, which I made over as well because they were too odd.


My custom dorm was also very enjoyable to play.

But as the semesters went by, I lost them and got more randoms dormies.
I did treat the new students as freshmen and had my sims take advantage of them.




But it was a bummer losing the original students and hardly ever seeing the again unless I called them up.
You should at least see them roaming around campus. and I was getting sick of all the randoms and making over their oddness.
My time with Discover University was a test run as I built and tested all my custom dorms.

I had big plans for a prep-school for my teens prepping for uni.
I did complete it, including an administrator and student guidance counselor, but I lost interest in playing TS4 after Eco Lifestyle came out.
