What are your university pet peevs

Universities are too big, you barely see any sims walking around. On lots, at least for me, sims are entering, and almost immediately they are leaving again, I assume it is because of the maximum 20 sims in zone restriction.

Foxbury have too many stairs, which also makes using bikes almost meaningless over there.

Only one type of bike? I wouldn't have minded a mountain bike and a racing bike.

I think they went too far with roommates being weird and annoying with the crying, playing music, bringing food etc. What they are doing should maybe happen one or twice times a day so it is more of a fun occurrence, when they are constantly doing it's like when someone tells you the same joke over and over again, it just becomes annoying.

You have to guess when the exam is.

If you have many classes, the game can schedule classes so there is barely any time to get to the next class, which IRL is not allowed. At least not on the universities I have been at and the people I have worked with there.

The stove restrictions are very confusing for me living over here in Europe. At least give us the option to choose?

Too few organizations, why can't Britechester have a study group?

Soccer and e-sports matches are just rabbit holes.

1) Them being big is pretty realistic, even if so few sims is not.
5) Exams are always on the last class of that course (and it actually tells you that on a mouseover)
7) Even in Canada, dorms normally have a communal kitchen.

Omg you know what really gets on my nerves as well???
My sims roommates are complete slobs.
Ugh!
She cleans up after all of them.

I've been playing as a Servo in a dorm. One of my roommates will not stop trying to repair my sim all the time. Even where I reset them, they'll immediately restart doing it - it happens when the durability bar is anything less than about 80% so not in poor repair.

You can't do anything about it and it's made my sim late for class on a few occasions. Really annoying and 100% rude! Also odd because, as someone else has said NPC Servos never seem to be repaired unless you do it so not sure why my played servo has a random poking them with a screwdriver every day.

That it has a bug that won't allow my sim to enroll back into university after the game automatically removed her from it.

The lack of a performance meter or other clear indicator of the sim's progress in each class.

I miss the parents saying goodbye as the college student gets in the cab and goes to uni. Now that they have the move one household member out option there should be an actual goodbye type of scene added.

I love that you can ask any homeless sim to be your roommate, however I don’t like that you can’t go to manage worlds and switch out between playing the various roomies. That way you can make sure your sims roommates are progressing through college as you’d like.

I already mentioned hating the parents showing up all the time. I also wish there was an actual acknowledgement that their kid is in college. How about when they do show up they bring a care package with food and maybe money inside? Or when your sim goes home to visit they bring a laundry bag with them? Or have the social option to ask for money? Little
Details like this would really flush it out. As it stands now the world university is in is just like any other world that spawns any sim at random. It’s almost as bad as how the housed sims from other worlds show up in San myshino in those dumb tourist clothes all the time.

Npc sims who go the uni don’t properly graduate and can’t re enroll into uni for another degree or get any perks from their first degree. I hope this gets fixed soon. This happened to my sim’s boyfriend

It's almost impossible to do rotational play at university. I thought it would be like on Sims 3. I would have a whole group of young adults go together and have a ball. Now I've got two sims there, both got into different universities, I can't play them both without one failing their degree, and everyone else has spent days waiting for acceptance letters. Ive taken them all out of uni early, I'm going to put all young adults in one household, have them apply at the same time. And hopefully then I can play them at once if theyre on the same campus. Its boring with just one sim doing homework all the time. There isn't as much of a community feel as sims 3 so far. The place seems empty most of the time.

This is what happened with Julia Wright the premade in my game. I'm so gutted about it as I was planning to play that household for my first university experience. It's ruined the expansion for me a little and I still haven't been able to experience any of what the expansion has to offer cause of it despite having it since release day.
