I’m in between Absolutely Love It and It’s a Good pack...the food being left around in the dorms is a bit annoying. So annoying in fact that I had to dock half a star ?

Randomly generated sims everywhere to 'populate' this world, as expected... I fail to find the 'I belong to this Uni' factor due to game design choices (which could have been prevented by giving the same distinguished degrees to both unis/or/ no rivalery), and also, no remarkable sim on either side. At this point, all I'm thinking is to finish my degree and go back to the 'real world' :(

I can see how annoying that is!! But it's not just a uni issue. It bothers me that townies have no life. Every where I go they just want to walk around chatting with my sim constantly and I have to keep canceling the action. I just want them to go about their own lives in the background while I do my thing. :D

Why!!! I need it!!! ?????????????????????????????????????????????

Having fun. I just wish we had less shell buildings + more lot space. I would love to make a student nightlife area.
Also hope that they amend the stove restriction in dorms and also put a gag on the cafeteria staff.

It's not too bad, there are just several small things that really annoy me. But I am pleasantly pleased which is kinda shocking for me. Just wish students didn't play musical beds, be stinky , hungry and tired all the time, and kinda wish food would appear earlier in the day...I HATE when my dorm does not have a mini fridge and microwave and I CAN'T even buy them because I am not allowed to edit or buy stuff for the dorm...:-: But other than that it's not too bad.

Bb.enablefreebuild is your friend.

You can buy a mini fridge and microwave from the kiosk in the commons area and drag it into your dorm from your inventory if you don't want to use the free build cheat.

I am really surprised, While I enjoy University in all the sims games, it has never been one of my favorite packs. I honestly believe they did a great job on this pack. I signed my sim up for e-sports as well as 3 classes the first term, I could barely keep up, I managed to get an A+, but I won't lie, I had to cheat her needs a lot. The challenge level is about right to me, I love that you can't just write the term paper and that is it, you have to edit it, and then edit it some more if you want the best grade, same with the presentations, nothing is a do it once and then your done kind of deal, it does add some challenge if you want your sim to be an over achiever. I also managed to be able to let her have a social life, but it really was more of a challenge than I have ever had in this game to date. I am starting to understand the people who keep saying they want more challenge in this game, I am having so much fun juggling all of this. Over all great pack.

I haven't bought it myself as I'll be travelling next week, so I'll have it around the end of the month (in about ten days or so), but a colleague at work bought it yesterday and I had a chance to play it for a few hours at her house today. It is marvelous!!!

I do think it's the right amount of challenge as well. I find taking two classes isn't bad and allows more of social life. So for a Sim I want to be social or multiple sims enrolled, I plan on only doing two classes for at least 1 or 2 semesters.
Overall, I think the pack is realistic. I loved the idea of sims 3 uni, but I literally was only able to play it twice due to the bugs and my PC I guess. Sims 2 Uni is my favorite of all time, and this kind of reminds me of it but a bit better. So I can't complain since I can actually play it will it without many bugs or crashing.
