I'm enjoying it but the issues with aging and holidays are a concern.

@Mariefoxprice83, you can edit the holidays & uncheck the "day off work/school" box. That way they'll still go to class. You may have to reduce the number of holiday tasks though (or keep them up all night lol).

I could but I'd rather let them enjoy their holidays. Real life students get to, after all. I think I will have to see how it works per save.

I will start to play this afternoon when I'm back home. Question to all: on the help forum many players reported that after the patch all needs decayed much faster. Is this affecting your gameplay in DU?

This pack sounds really good. I won't buy it at full price, because I am still upset at myself for caving and paying full price for Island living, but the moment I see it on sale I will pick it up.

I wish I could bundle, but the only other pack I don't own is ROM so...

What would be cool is a special discount option for people who own everything else. The current bundle system inspires us to hold off on picking up packs, so that we can save by bundling. A discount system for people who own all or most of the packs that went before would inspire people to buy more packs to get a discount, and the discount could be based on how many packs you already own, so people who own all the previous packs get a better discount vs people who own most of the packs that came before.. Just a thought. Still I am glad for the bundle system, since I will be using it for now on.

I think it’s a really good expansion pack. Probably the best after seasons.

@LolaLuvsSims just go to cdkeys.com or any other DLC vendor and get it cheaper. It will email you the code right away. I never buy games at full price and they are never out of stock or making people wait.

Cdkeys was 31.99 or something and I only paid like 23 at target

@LolaLuvsSims, I meant cheaper than what origin is selling it for. It’s just a suggestion in case you are tired of waiting ?.

Help me! I can't stop playing!

And taking screenshots. I have tons and tons of them.

got it for 27 bucks at target cause of that sale, so its way worth that money i spent. i had a lot of fun, graduated already cause i speed-ran it LOL. imma play another sim and take my time and really explore the organizations and stuff tho

love the cas, love the world, love the mechanics, love the bikes, overall i'd rather have spent $40 on this and the 27 on island living cause this one is well worth that money.

My copy is delayed until the 28th. I'm so close to cancelling and paying full price

If you got it from Target, you can go pick up in the store and they will honor the price you paid for. Just ask for a price match.

After playing since Friday, I like the overall idea of the pack - It just wasn't executed as fully as I would have liked. As much stuff that was added to this pack, it just feels a little incomplete/unfinished.

Pros:

• CAS items.
  
• Roommates (there are already mods to expand on this)
  
• Time Management - this make the game more difficult which is needed.
  
• Activities and orgs!
  

Cons:

• Can't edit via the Main Menu if we have a sim in University Housing - I'm having an error ATM where i can't even load into the housing to edit, so being able to edit via the Main Menu would be nice.. We can do so for other lots, not sure why we can't for University Housing.. :/
  
• No idea when the final exam/presentations/term papers are due - I just try to get them done ASAP.
  
• My sims are always late to class, there isn't anyway to see which building each class is at nor is there a way to send them early (they sometime automatically goes if nothing is in their cue).
  
• Number of active lots.. With such a beautiful world, i hate that there isn't a lot we can interact with on the map - some that could have easily been blank lots.
  
• Costs of dorms - they are relatively cheap. It's way too easy to get rich in Sims, this needs to be more expensive.
  

With that being said, I don't regret getting the pack (I only paid $24 for it). I would definitely advise waiting for a sale or discount to buy.
