Looking back at the features list, and thinking about how things have worked in previous packs, these are my expectations:
- Four neighborhoods. 1 hood for the historic university, with 4 lots (classroom building, common area venue, library, dorm building). 1 hood for the modern university, with the same 4 lots. 1 hood with 3 - 5 lots for off-campus living. 1 hood for a park.
- Classroom buildings are locked to Build/Buy, like tombs in JA. They may be unlocked through the cheat, but if so, special NPC sims like lecturers will no longer visit the building, like sages in RoM.
- Your sim is locked to the university world. Off-campus living is restricted to the neighborhoods of Britechester that don't contain school buildings (and are technically not part of campus).
- Bikes available for young adults + in Britechester only.
- School organizations like art, debate, secret society will all be rabbitholes.
- School spirit event sounds like a big pep rally, but will actually be a new party type that occurs at the common area venue. Click on your sim to choose "Wear school colors", which automatically puts on a new facepaint and a preset outfit. Your sim gets a School Pride buff.
- Dorms will function like apartments but are locked to Britechester.
- Explicitly mentioned interactions, like juice pong/high five/juggle a soccer ball, will be the only new major interactions.
I would be happy to be wrong about any of these.
