How will semesters work in a future university pack?

Since some kind of university has been in both ts2 and ts3 and they are very popular packs, I think it's safe to say that we will get a university pack at some point. I was thinking about how they solved semesters before and how they would fit in with ts4. Basically, none of them really works for ts4. The combination of a time limit and households aging while you're not playing them would make rotational play impossible, which I can't imagine they would want, at least not with a game that's more catered towards rotational play at the moment.

How do you think they will do it? I have a theory about semesters working like jobs, where it's not a time limit and you simply "get promoted" to the next semester once you've reached the requirements. After school activities works like jobs too after all. However, I can't see how we would be able to play sims doing really bad in college then. What do you think?

(And no, I know that we don't know when university is coming out and that it might be quite some time. This is a speculative thread about something that could be years away)

    Ah, I would really dislike a fake world for the college world. But that would make sense for this game I guess, since other Sims would come into a college world and that would be weird to see them in the college town. Not so many ever come into the fake (hidden) worlds.

    It could be like GTW, as in you don't have to follow your sim to class, and still have a world you can visit. It doesn't have to be a hidden world.

    What I was suggesting was that it be a wold you can live in, but not be forced to live in to attend uni.
  • I think it would be nice if they had a similar selection panel to seasons. You could select your semester length and decide on breaks and whatnot. It would be nice if it came with a new neighborhood that's considered campus, but you're not forced to live there. So if you want to move your sims into a dorm or apartment on campus, you can, but you could also have a sim commute.
