EA, is it too late to reconsider the expense of uni? I wonder if they could make it more expensive in the patch if we’re all bothered enough by this. It would’ve been nice to have it feel realistic. I wonder if there’ll be a workaround without using a mod.

I feel the same. Given how easy it is to make money already, it kind makes the student loans useless unless you've created a new sim

Does the Value of the dorm impact tuition costs?Mine will be living in a huge dorm. I am hoping tuition reflects how much the place costs.

I don't know how much the fees are, but I'll be annoyed if they're too low. Need more expensive things to spend simoleons on, not more cheap stuff. As said above, what's the point of student loans then?

It seems that it matters, some dorms are more expensive than others.I think somebody will make a mod for it, but if not, I'm going to hide a dozen of 15000 $ violins in my dorms. :D

There are places where uni studies are free, so realism is debatable. It would be fun if we could set the fees ourselves though.

I know right... even my poorest Sims with starter-level jobs and run down houses can afford going to uni without the loans.

??????! That is the best idea! Put expensive items in the dorms just to make it more expensive.

As a North American, the cost definitely feels low. I am sure there will be mods that adjust this shortly after it goes up though.

I’m Dutch and though we do have university and college fees, they are pretty low. So for me, this isn’t too unrealistic, though our fees are a bit higher than this. However, I’m also totally fine with a huge increase, as it means more challenge :smiley:

The USA is the only country in the world with stupid high uni fees. Having them be affordable is the more universal experience, so I'd argue it's better. Mod the fees to be stupid high, rather than mod them down, if you really want.
