The Sims 4 Discover University - Gameplay trailer

It looks really wonderful, let's hope all ages are able to attend!

The trailer was cute and made me laugh a few times. Loved the reactions at the end with her two friends. Love that there are loans and you can lose scholarships if you miss too many lectures/classes, or are failing(?), and while I'm not sure .. if you can "bring" your toddlers to college with you.. maybe you *can* get pregnant and have the baby there while going to college (?), or maybe it is that you can bring them. So, that's interesting and *new*.

However, :( I'm not gonna lie.. I'm a little bummed. This is definitely looking like we're not getting Sorority Houses and Frats. Not sure how I feel about "dorms". I don't really like apartments and haven't had any of my Sims live in one, yet.. so hopefully Sims can live at home and go to college.. I know we can move off campus, but was hoping for a sorority and frat system/experience. As I would have loved more group activities (aside from studying, etc).

From what I've seen, dorms will work just like apartments (shells with commom areas (e.g. bathrooms) and "buildable" bedrooms). There's even an elevator on one of them. I'm actually fine with that.
Happy to see a working cafeteria (end of the trailer), scholarships/loans and a reasonable amount of degrees.

Cool! We share the same name. :p

EA: we're acing this game!
Simmers: C+

This trailer really felt like college fun! Awesome, because that’s what I want it for!

personally not really hyped wich is sad since uni is my fave ep but looking back at the previous expansion i feel like they"re all pretty style over substance and either feel incomplete or half baked that's just my opinion tho. I do like the trailer but it doesn't really show anything new except for loans the rest of it we already saw in the previous one i think. Also i'm nervous about the dorms im already 99% sure we won't be able to build our own just like the apartments wich imo is really sad and looking at the trailer it looks like a lot of shell buildings instead of real ones so yeah idk i don't want to be a pessimist but looking at what we have gotten so far i'm more doubtfull than excited at this point

I'm not fussed about the lack of Greek houses. They're mostly an American thing, and not even all American schools have them (my daughter's doesn't, and it's a large state university in a very large city.) Clubs may not be an ideal solution to substitute in, but it should be a workable one.

Didn't learn a lot new from the trailer, but did get a fair amount of confirmation. It is nice to know you can transfer schools between the two, and it was kinda fun seeing the toddler there.

Hopefully the livestream expands a bit more on what we saw. I've shifted from "Maybe, if it doesn't mess up my gameplay otherwise" to "Eventually... when the pack is on sale" so that's something.

The only new things I noticed are the mentions of two new careers (engineer and lawyer), a sneak peek at the secret society (which hopefully won't just be a Get Together club) and the ability to take out loans. Everything else was already known I think.
