Sims 4: Get to School, Campus Living, or Free University Patch

(((Wow, ok, so I press enter to type more details and this is automatically posted!)))

These are three ideas I came up with for bringing University into the Sims 4:

Get to School would be a pack like "Get to Work" or "Get Famous" where we track the progress of these university student sims. They go to school, complete assignments/experiments/write papers, and we watch them receive bronze, silver or gold on what they completed

Campus Living would be a pack that focuses more on the student life of University. Partying, socializing, and even studying. Dorm life would be front and center. *edit* like City and Island Living, there might be a location-based aspiration (maybe like Super Senior/Renaissance Sim or something--where a sim keeps taking classes and never leaves school)

Free University Patch would be a super simplified higher-ed experience. In the patch, Sims (teens through elders) would use their computer or phone to enroll in college courses (in perhaps to learn skills, or career preparation, which would then boost their career level or their salary). Sims who are college students would leave home for a few hours while they're at class and then return. They could probably do this in addition to having a part-time (or maybe full-time) job. And that's all that comes with the free university for all patch... No lots, no objects, just this simple addition.

Also, what ideas do you have to bring University into the sims?

I'd personally rather a patch as opposed to an entire pack based around just university and not all levels of schooling.

Otherwise, I think university could just be put in as a new feature for another pack. Like if they did a Generations, life stages-based pack, university would be fitting as the new gameplay for young adults.

I think it should have a little bit of both : some classes or work from home assignments and earning grades. This would be the main focus for me. But it would be incomplete without a physical location to visit. Especially dorms or even sororities and fraternities (preferably a mixed gender option as well cuz that's how it work in my country ;)) .

I don't see university happening in a patch. A patch would be to watered down. It would not be immersive enough to enjoy properly.

Perhaps it would be possible to add roommates with the patch for this EP. I would like my sim students to share their apartment or room. And this could be a useful addition for everyone, even outside the pack.

None of the above, for me.

@storminmay are you against any university pack, or do you have an idea for a fourth (or fifth, sixth, etc) option for adding in University?

Hello @storminmay I've gone ahead and moved the thread to the Speculation section :)

@jadonbakes I wouldn't say I'm dead-set "against" a University pack, just that I don't want or need one.

@EA_Joz I appreciate that!!! I flagged my own thread so it could be moved!

Can I pick other? Campus Living would be the closet but I really hope that if and when we get a university pack they take into consideration how many routes people can take for their education.

I just want to put my sims through the pain of grad school >:)

@CAITLINX354 ooh, grad school is a good idea! I should have totally put an 'other' option! I'm sorry. But I did intend for this thread to become a conversation, so I do appreciate your perspective!
In coming up with my EP poll options I was following TS4's trends in naming expansion packs: either Get , Living, or a Part of Nature (like Cats & Dogs/Seasons--though I couldn't come up with a Nature version of University, haha, maybe "Coming of Age"...)
