Ok hold my tea..

I was not expecting this leak. It was a fun read, but i do have some concerns while reading this

* Why does it seem like studying only gives purpose to the new 3 jobs and not all the careers? It has been mentioned this way 2 times in the description
* I sure hope there are online classes and simple courses for every sim to up their skill level.
* How is a new world confirmed? It could still be a university lot, campus lot etc. I will stay a little skeptical about this..

cos there were mentions of dormitories so i assume it will be the new lot type or something for that world.

Yes I know, but it could still just be just lot type to be placed in any other world. I mean, in general i would think we get a whole world yes, especially cause it is an EP and it would be weird to not have one. But I have to see it first to be sure about it as I am trying to not get my hopes up to high since TS4 is good in crushing those. Even when it seems to obvious sometimes.

I think the world is called Britechester. Usually, but not always, Universities are named after the place they’re in.

Edit: The new world is indeed called Britechester.

Isn't the 'Foxbury institute' another school? There could be a new world and a secret lot with a diff campus

The description pretty much say it is. It also says prank your rival school and wear your school colors. Probably on opposite ends on the map, my guess

Goodbye boarding school for teens

What if they’re doing something like what they did with C&Ds and MFP. They’re going to make it a GP though and have any missing furniture if any from this pack. Looool, hope not but if they ever add boarding school/private schools they should be really fleshed out.

Hope bicycles are for children too! We don’t even know if they’re for teens, but teens can do most things YA+ can do

I am a bit disappointed by the lack of majors. This is exactly what I feared - like 4 "general" majors (the ones we got are not even general in my eyes) that are made to fit all careers.

What would an engineer even study? Not all types of engineering do "computer science" (also it's a big part of it, but engineering is not the same as computer sicence). And what about music, medicine, etc? Why give us stupid "villainy" when there are so many other basic careers? I do like the 3 new careers though.

I hope there is the possibility for modders to create more majors. As for this I am really disappointed, the studying itself is the thing I want.It would be great if it had a tool so we could create majors ourselves so supernatural players can have their magic University and I can have my realistic gameplay majors.

Campus life was never my experience of University (I commuted and lots of Unis in Germany don't have a full campus but their faculty buildings are rather scattered around the whole city). I do like the soccer thing, but I fear it will be like basketball we have in game, no real game possible, just "practising shots" or "dreaming of big game". When we aren't so lucky, it will be confined to 2 or 3 Sims and for teen+ only.

This is exactly how I feel. The childish villainy study got a priority over general studies? What is this game about? Childish pranks, Magic, occults, bars/partying, pride, toilet humor?

The EP is about university and the majors are not even expanded. It is a bad start if you ask me.
I have always said this but TS4 does not contain a good sense of humor and it is rather childish. I will never forget the 4 hour live stream which was overly cringe and only dedicated to kids up to age 10 and that while this game is rated Teen and their loyal players are at least around 30 years old now. Even children are more adult than the content of TS4.. it needs to stop.

Quirky jokes is not the same as toilet humor and childish meaningless pranks.

I don't mind the humor so much, and there are lots of people who do like to play occults and magic, and I don't think it dominates the game. But I would have preferred "criminology" over "villainy" (seriously?). And I do think this life simulation lacks lots of, well, LIFE stuff for our sims. I keep encountering the problem that I don't know what to do with my Sims when they have a day off because there just isn't much to do for a whole group of Sims.

Why would my family go outside to play in the snow and only 2 Sims can build a snowman? Why can't I vacation in Sulani (the option to live there is really nice, but why haven't they implemented the option to "rent" something there for a short period of time)? Why can't my Sims go sailing or drive a jetski TOGETHER? Why can't my Sims cook and bake together? Why aren't there more board games that can be played by up to 8 sims? These board games do exist in real life, so why is there only the stupid lama game table (and the other card thing - which both are as games confined to certain tables, why not make these games inventory stuff and you can pull them out of a closet or your sims' inventory whenever they want to play with other sims)? Why can't my Sims have an actual basketball match, but only "practise shots" or "dream about big game"? Why can't my Sims play in the pool? Who swims next to each other without talking?

This is not even a family gameplay style problem. This problem also exists for roommates, YA with friends, occults, etc. - also people who play single Sims do play them having friends, right? So what is there to do other than bowling, kicker, and the 100th party?

Also, I really miss the detailed simology options from TS2 - the turn on/turn offs and the memory system (it was really simple compaired to TS3 which only bloated your save files anyway, so I kept turning memories off, but I really liked the memory system in TS2, it was just a nice little detail). Also, I would love to choose 4 traits and give them "points" like we had in TS2, so you can take the "gloomy"-trait and actually define how gloomy the Sim really is. 1 point = just a bit gloomy, 10 points = very gloomy. This was so detailed, why don't we have that anymore? And with the new traits system, you could really make very individual sims.

It sounds cool, but I'm worried if there will be pool tables and bunk beds or not. These are the two items I was hoping the most for this pack, but they weren't mentioned in the description. The fact that there are ping pong tables worries me because I'm not sure if they would add both ping pong tables and pool tables. This would be the perfect opportunity to add these items in my opinion, I'm not sure in which other pack they could come if not this one.

Yeah it is, the leak says welcome to Britechester and ride tour bike through it. So I’m assuming both campuses are there. As someone else said on either sides of the map, with maybe the community lots and dorms and housing in between.

I do hope we get pool tables too besides ping pong, it would just be another thing to do with a group of Sims, while ping pong can only be played by 2 Sims (and well, not all people like beer pong).

The way I see it, both Britechester and Foxbury could be destination worlds. You send your student for 7 days, bring them home for a break, send them again, etc., until graduation. Happy to see 3 new careers, curious about majors.

Uni isn't high on my priority list. I especially need to see how this works for rotational play. In Outdoor Retreat when I tried to send three families camping, time progressed for everyone. After playing family A three days, family B had gotten charged for three days, too, despite me never having touched them during this time.

But, dang, bicycles are tempting.
