Am I the only one who thought this was a wee bit cringey?

This pack sounds nice and all, but I'm afraid that the university features are going to be a bit shallow. They're really over-emphasizing partying and goofing off with your friends, which are social activities that can be done without the pack.

13 majors? What if they function similarly to rabbithole careers? It would be like putting a new label on the old content.
Hanging out in a student center? What would make it different than going to the library and chatting with other teens? Bringing laptops? Your kid?
The huge emphasis on playing soccer?? One of the selling points?? Does anyone else find that concerning? :'(

I feel as if they're polishing this trailer up nicely in order to make us look the other way add a gallon of sparkles to shiny, new content that may actually not turn out to be much different than existing gameplay mechanics. {Please, please, let me be wrong......]

I am really happy that we're getting room-mates, though!

I agree with you. That trailer was cringy like they were really trying hard to only reach a specific target group, again.

And yeah, a lot of it seems recycled and reused. You gave some good examples already - A lot of it just seems like a normal community lot.
I'm also worried that we still haven't heard/seen anything about classes. Seems likely they'll be rabbit holes which would feel the same to me as normal school/job then, but just in a new environment.

I think that was easily the cringiest Sims trailer I've ever seen :# We get it, this game is for the hip and cool teen girls of the world, but geeeeezzzzz, the 'hashtags' and other weird slang and the way the voice actress spoke were so off putting.

Hilarious how this is the 2nd trailer, the GAMEPLAY trailer, and yet still nothing showing anything to do with classes. Is this a university pack or a "my life is so #crazy and so #weird, but so #fun, and and I love to #party, oh and I also just so happen to be in #school" pack? Seriously, they glossed over anything that actually related to school just to tell a story about this obnoxious girl. Where are the actual details about what's offered in the pack? Where is the schooling? What about the degrees? Jobs? The campuses? Literally all of that was ignored. This was supposed to be the trailer to tell us about what's new and interesting about this pack, but instead they just rushed through everything and used it as mere background for the unnecessary story.

Doesn't make the pack look appealing in the slightest In fact, it just makes the pack come across as void of content.

LOL yeah this^^

My favorite part of the trailer was not all the images will appear in the game. LOL

We will hopefully know in a few days what the classes are going to be like. I am glad I get to see the live stream before I purchase. I am leaning towards getting it, I like everything I have seen so far, but I am disappointed we didn't see anything about actually attending class.

For a "game play" trailer, where was the game play? After the first trailer everyone asked about the game play. We were told it was coming in this trailer but this was not it either? This was just another machinima story and this time with a human voice ruining my simlish immersion, showing a lot of the same things the first one showed but with less items in the background? At least the first one showed shower woo-hoo (which is actually game play) and bikes (however limited they may or not be, still game play) :/ I liked the first one better and found it more informative TBH, and I didn't really even like that one too much.

I'm excited for this!

Only thing I don’t like is how small the dorms are. She switched into 3 dorms and they all seem like a small square. And that’s all cause outside the walls are either the hallway or a bathroom or elevator. Hopefully we can’t rent a lot like in TS3

Have you ever gone to college? Dorm rooms are quite small and square! It's realistic to life. At least American university life that is!

So far I love what I see. Now, to see what classes are like. :) I think in sims2 you went to a rabbithole? And sims 3 some attending and some rabbitholes. Can't wait!

Is that Simstagram? Woah can we now see it and upload images?

I REALLY REALLY hope so! I always wanted to have something like this be more interactive. It would be awesome storytelling tool if they allowed us to do this. Imagine how fun a SIMBOOK would be? Without all the annoying political posts on it of course! lol

I'm actually intrigued! Lawyer? I hope it's an active career we are too 'modern' to go back to rabbit holes!
