So Lillith left her bicycle.... somewhere. I had to send Angela to Foxbury for some Spirit Club stuff (mildly annoying club, but Angela Pleasant was always a mildly annoying Sim anyway) and had her put the bike back into her inventory. Then I had her travel to her own campus, and both of the bikes were gone from the inventory. They weren't in the household inventory, either. They vanished. Forever.
After 50 minutes of loading screens late last night, I decided to shut down the game. It had other plans. I ended up having to use the nuclear power button option to turn off my computer. Apparently the disappearing bicycle bug is contagious.
I liked the pool tables in the old version better than ping pong. Maybe it's a generational thing, but I remember quite a bit of pool-playing in college, but not once do I remember anyone playing ping pong. Juice Pong... maybe a little more realistic.
As for the cafeterias, I went to two universities, and one had one cafeteria in the Student Union, although each Greek House (where are they, by the way?) had its own. The other university had a cafeteria in each residence hall and a vegan option in the Student Union. I'm kind of meh about students having to go to the Student Union twice a day to eat. It doesn't reflect every Simmer's collegiate experience, and it's just annnoying.
I'm not a fan of the fatigue thing going on now when my Sims work out (or, I assume, join intramurals), but it is more realistic. They get over it once they reach a certain level of fitness. I might even say that was an actual improvement over the old system. And since I decided that all my Young Adults must serve in the military before they're allowed to go to college, it won't be a big issue. I miss the soccer goal. I miss Sims being able to throw footballs and softballs. I am, however, glad that the Kicky Bag has finally been banished to the Outer Darkness where it belongs.
Kudos to the developers on the new schedule system, though. I actually had a panic attack the first time I noticed one of my Sims had a presentation due. THIS was what was missing from the older versions of the game!
