Why do people think University is next ?
There seem to be no proof or hints to it.

People who have been with The Sims for years and have played every expansion, stuff pack and game pack, gravitate towards the familiar, rather than look at the possibility of trying something totally new. It's human nature. I was in that group as well. That fact became very clear to me when StrangerVille was announced and I was so very, very unhappy with the theme. I was quite vocal about my unhappiness as well. My experience with StrangerVille made me realize I was stuck in a rut. Now I hope the new EP will not be a Uni expansion. Please don't throw anything in my direction, I hope Uni comes our way but let's be open to the possibility the next EP will not be a remake of something we have had in the past.
Let's stop and be honest for a second. Every expansion EA has released that was a remake of past expansions has come up short of our expectations in many ways. And Simmers were very unhappy about it. Gardening was one of my favorite things to do with my Sims until Seasons came along. I love that expansion but it ruined gardening for me. I dislike needing greenhouses on my lots. BUT, I do enjoy the newer careers that were added with the Get Famous expansion and the updates that came with it. I am having a blast with them and I seldom think about gardening now. I am not into the acting career but the ability to create a career from streaming has me glued to my computer. I like the fact our Sims can work as freelancers in whatever career they choose, have the ability to become famous and have reputations that other Sims react to. As a long time Simmer I find it refreshing. The idea for painters and authors to become famous, and recognized as famous by other Sims, is something that was missing from the game for years.
Wanting a Uni-style expansion is just natural. We had a Uni expansion in Sims2 and 3 so Simmers expect it to be added to Sims4. Personally, I found it a bit grindy. And I think I had a handful of Sims that actually graduated because I became bored with it so quickly. Maybe that was because it wasn't my style. I'm not sure. As far as seeing hints that Uni is going to be the next expansion? I haven't seen anything that screams Uni is coming next.
