I think University is OVERRATED!

The top reason why I like University from Sims 2 and 3 was it was a time that my sim could work on building up their skills without taking up the time, meaning during that time period they were not aging. During this time my teens when they aged up to a young adult it gave them time to do other things without taking away from their lifespan.

Mostly for nostaglia and immersion for the most part.

I find the 'go to school' aspect pretty boring myself, especially when I went back to play in S2 and S3. Really only the new activities for sims to do had any interest. I mean you're basically going to school to level up a few levels in a career that'd take around the same amoutn of time to do being stuck in a University. More of a better and updated school system for younger sims I'd be all for and maybe sims being able to home school as well?

Just something a bit more different, can still have sims go to a university would just like a bit more variety.

I like those ideas, I love the idea of a Teacher career and maybe bringing back Private Schools again, I do miss getting my sim kids into private school. Some more after school clubs would be nice too and maybe field trips, Homecoming/Prom! There is SO much that could be done for kids and teens!
I don't think they would upgrade the schooling system sadly as this is TS4 and already people I hoping that TS5 will be better, it would be nice to have more to do with children and teen sims as I tend to get bored with them really quickly but you never know what could happen so I will keep dreaming!
I did enjoy University in the other Sims games and I played it often as it was one of my fave EPs. I loved the world we got for Uni in TS3, I always thought it was a pretty world.
I always said that a University EP would be the last thing I buy for TS4 (Pets, Seasons and Uni are my must haves), unless they bring out something really good after then I might but it is a long shot!

I'm dying for University to come to The Sims 4. Going off to college is a huge milestone in life for people and a life simulation game feels incomplete without it.

I’m excited for University because I believe it will extend game play really well. But I also hope they extend this to younger generations as well. I don’t really care to send my young adults to college, but I do want to be able to send my kids to school.

Personally, I found it boring and hated my post-secondary education experience. But I can understand why other people would want it. It's an important time for many sims, it opens them up to new and different experiences, and it allows sims to get educated and have better jobs.

I'd rather have a general education pack, though. Private schools, boarding schools, uniforms, after-school clubs activities, prom, impressing a headmaster, getting diplomas and degrees. As someone who's a legal guardian to two young twerps, I've come to really appreciate school and how it changes for its students over the years.

Having attended university in real life, it's fun to do it again with my sims, and often they have a better time than I did. I liked it before I went to university IRL though. In Sims 2 I loved dorm life, the good choice of the majors and the social aspect. In Sims 3 I enjoyed the wider range of sims who were eligible to attend, the open classes, the fact that you could study for all of the available majors in turn if you so wished.

I especially liked sending magical sims and pretending they were attending an adult version of Hogwarts.

The popular thing on many people's wishlists that I think is overrated is cars. In Sims 3 the game endlessly spawned them when you switched to a new household, and in Sims 2 I mostly used them as a woohoo location. But then, as a non driver, I am not into cars irl either.

To me it's for immersion and living out a part of a sims life. I enjoyed Sims 2 but had little time to enjoy more than skilling and going to class. I'm looking forward to a Sims 4 version for sure. (Although I'm glad magic is coming first.)

I miss having university in my game! I didn't like the TS3 pack so much, but TS2 University is one of my absolute favourites. There was such a variety of careers in that game and so many majors to choose from, it was a dream.

I mean, it's a life simulator. If you want an overhaul of the education system, them uni kind of falls into that category. Plus it's entirely optional whether you send your sims to uni or not. For me the university pack just adds a lot more variety and life into the game. I can use it to keep things interesting. I'm hoping it's added at some point in the near future.

I feel like it's needed to separate Young Adult life stage from Adult. Right now it all just feels like one super long life stage.
