University too hard/no fun ?

I love love love love the challenge and chaos of full workloads in University! We needed more challenging gameplay and this one delivered!

I like the challenging aspect of it. If you want to skate through it, try a few cheats to easily up your skills and needs.

I do like challenge but challenge doesn’t mean doing homework all day. It is rather boring challenge :)

I guess by “challenge,” I mean there are finally some gameplay consequences. Ya, staring at them doing homework all day is kind of dull. It would be cool if there were more major-specific special activities like there are for robotics.

If you want an A+, it’s actually going to take work, whereas you can basically decide to become a doctor rn and be at the top of the career in a gameplay week. Most things in this game are so easy to achieve and are basically handed out on silver platters. I don’t think this pack wants to gift every Sim an A+, those little pixels actually have to suit up for this one.

Oh I don't mind the pack. I even tried playing without it once and I found it boring. I like university. It was a little hard at first but I figured out that if my sim does 3 classes instead of 4 it's a lot more manageable.

Mods to the rescue. I do enjoy Uni, I just think it's too long for my sims (I play Normal lifespan). So I use a mod that reduces the number of credits required. Perfect.

UNIVERSITY TOO HARD/NO FUN: My real life uni experience! Got in. Got it done as fast as possible in real life. No cheats. But this is Play with life! The faster homework mod helps a lot. Sorry, I don't want to relive my college days. Mod to cheat the game. Play with life!

After finally playing University (I've had it since it came out but was waiting for my sims to be of age to go) I can honestly say it is the hardest University pack of any sims game. I think TS3 did University perfectly, it balanced the difficulty and fun of going to uni very well however in TS4 I feel the sims have no time to do anything. 3/4 classes makes it impossible for my sims to do anything fun and guarantees them a fail. My sims first term was 4 classes and i am never doing that again. It was crazy. I just did 2 classes now and it was a little easier but it is still quite difficult.

I don’t expect to get A+ at all, but I consider myself a sim veteran, so failing 3/4 courses is quite puzzling to me !

You're better off cheating in a degree for your sim. The one time I had my sim go to university. They had zero time to eat and sleep. All I was doing was sending them to class and homework and other things needed to do for their classes. It wasn't fun I hated it. Now if I want a degree for my sim I'll cheat it in instead. I know that may make me seem lazy and like I'm "missing out" on the whole experience but I tried the "whole experience" and it was the worst for my poor sim. There are far more fun and better ways to torture my sims. I would rather be the one torturing them that way.
