We are getting more than 4 majors!!! Distinguished majors?? Do we get more credit if we do a distinguished major?

I just counted on the blog post-13 degrees in total, and they cover a pretty wide range of topics.

Biology, Computer Science, Economics, Physics, Psychology, Villainy, Art History, Culinary Arts, Drama, Fine Art, History, Language and Literature, and Communications.

I'm curious about the distinguished degrees too. I love the idea of each school specializing in different things. A degree in communications from the University of Britechester means more than one from Foxbury, but if you want to major in biology then Foxbury is the school for you. But I still want to know more about what the difference is between the two. Do Sims with a distinguished degree start at a higher career level than Sims with a regular one?

I also really want to know more about having a family in Uni. I'm really hoping that Sims can attend either university without having to actually move there.

And yeah, you really can't make a university pack in 2019 and not include student loans. (I also love that according to the blog post they are also including need-based scholarships as well as ones for good grades and skills.)

I really like what I see so far.

This looks like so much FUN, which is all I personally wish for in a Uni EP! I’m stoked!

So many majors, too! I love that! I don’t mind if the classes are rabbit holes. And that toddler... So cool! And new, compared to previous versions!

I do wonder about the careers, though... Could they be active?

I'm confused. They're calling it a 'gameplay' trailer, but they're not showing any gameplay?

Hmmm.
I am kinda happy we may be able to bring toddlers to campus...
Other than that....not...exactly impressed....to say...I really didn't see any classes...mostly just hanging out and goofing off at campus...

Really? Its got 13 majors, secret societies are back, you can transfer schools, some programs are more prestigious than others based on said school, and your sim can take out loans. Seems to me like this is a lot more like The Sims 2 University, which is generally the gold standard.

I like the masonry in the middle and the doors.

It looks like it might be one of the dorms, with a stairway heading to the upper rooms..

Except that in the video, that was the house shown when she said "moved off campus" So it's probably more like student rental housing

wait a minute...I think I'm going crazy, I thought I posted a discussion but it's gone and my post is here now?????

They probably just merged the threads.

Not crazy at all! Merged a couple discussions together as both were about the trailer. Better to have all the opinions and comments together :) Feel free to DM me if you have questions about that.

Are all Universities in the USA just like highschools? This pack couldn't be more trash, not a lot of gameplay was shown either, or explained for a gameplay trailer. And I guess the trailers with the voiced over sims are more appealing to children and airhead highschool students since this is suppose to cater to them? I'm sorry but I'm not touching yet another pack with a ten foot pole. Not to mention those same costumers will see this trash and think sims can actually put up instagram stories in the game when that isn't true and it's not even a feature listed for this pack, false advertising Maxis, well done. Pandering 10/10.
