University too hard/no fun ?
My sim was pretty much spending all time just doing homework term paper and presentation and still failed 3 courses. How are you guys playing this pack ? It is extremely boring !?!

I find it pretty realistic in terms of difficulty, given the trade offs for what you’re getting out of it.
You can try to complete a whole degree as soon as possible by taking a full load each term, but sacrifice your social life (and sanity) just like in real life.
Alternatively, you can take it slow and only be a student part time and it’ll just take a really long time to finish, but you then have so much more time for other things like deeper friendships and part time jobs or kids.
In exchange for either route, you can skip practically 80% of an entire career track and get automatic skill gains just for going to class and doing homework. Sounds worth the time investment in some cases.
That being said, the default length of the “Normal” lifespan only really lends itself to the idea of getting through university with a full course load. This also means that your whole YA stage will be spent in uni. Depending on how you normally play the game, uni might be worth the pain so that you can reach the end of your career track pretty early into the Adult stage.
I prefer to modify my lifespan with MCCC to be realistic, and that lets me finish uni with some days of YA left, but again, that’s still assuming I take a full course load.
I think that’s the biggest “difficulty” the pack has. Trying to balance the time spent working vs playing and then trying to balance that with how long you plan on staying at uni vs living your normal life. It’s honestly very realistic and kind of mentally draining, just like real college :D
