University refresh
I really hope Discover University is going to get a refresh (Even then I don’t think it will help too much) yeah it’s got some cool Build mode but the game play is so dull it’s just wake up go to clas...

I 'd be happy if they would stop dormies from bringing in so much food.
There should be a counter that stops it after two dishes for that day.
Yes! Use clubs, it really helps bring the place alive, especially if you are playing groups of Uni students rotating between terms.
It's nice to see my last rotation of sims and their dorm-mates hanging out at the commons when I am playing the current rotation.
I was really surprised how uninspired the Student Commons were.

I never enjoyed sending my sims there. It was mainly good for a bite to eat.
Why aren't there Ping Pong tables in the Britechester commons? Those came with the pack.

I have some really great custom dorms on the Britechester campus, so there isn't much need to hangout in the commons.
But I also have another dorm I enjoy off-campus. It would really be nice to have a great commons for my off-campus to hang out between classes. It would really help with immersion for my off-campus students.
So I built my own, using the original commons as a base.
I also wanted it to look more like the rest of the campus.

1st floor, cafeteria and student lounge for socializing and debates.
Plus an additional rest room.
I need to do the same for the Foxbury commons which seem even more desolate to me.
Funny side note:
Somehow, Britechester was given a conservation NAP, so my sims were without power for 12 hours.
The commons turned out to be very useful other things to do while the power was off. Plus, other Uni students from the clubs showed up. I just wish I had put in a shower. I made them wash their hands and brush their teeth for hygiene.

My own wishes for an eventual DU refresh would be the following :
- Add the careers that are missing diplomas (really, that seems like just an oversight)
- Let children ride bikes (and learn to ride them)
- Add more clubs for teenagers, like debate club, school newspaper and soccer team, so they can work on that and get scholarships
- Make some classes active, where you will do activities specific to what you are studying.
- Make some career levels locked unless you have a diploma (I wouldn't make it the whole career, as some people would forget why it's not showing up in choices).
- Make the Commons lots more alive somehow, so that sims who hang out there will do things (yeah, I should probably make clubs for that since it's an AI issue and unlikely to change unless they manage to do something about it with basegame, but it's worse on the Commons lots in my game)
- Maybe add a graduation party social event (for both uni and highschool, perhaps?)

Bowling did not come with University, but I feel it should have. Probably because I used it so much in TS3 University.
