I'd bet money your worst case scenarios aren't very far off the mark. All we have to do is look at Island Living and RoM to know the truth about what a uni-based EP will be like. I have to be honest and say university life was not one of my favorite EPs, and I rarely had a Sim attend college or even graduate. But I was willing to give it a shot back in the day. I'm not that forgiving these days. We're looking at the probability of a small world, rabbithole classes, uneditable dorms, college students in outlandish garb invading every world, and new glitches that will take the devs months to fix. If at all. Call me crazy, but I'll pass on this kind of pack. Any changes to the base game that have anything to do with updating the romance system, whims, or traits will be in the pre-ep update so I'll save my money and happily take the freebies. Once the modding community updates all my mods, of course. It's going to take me a long time to get over the mess Island Living's pre-ep update made of my game, and how much that pack disappointed me. And now to see all the complaints coming out of the community about RoM, well, that kinda says it all. The pack didn't even have the same characters as the ones that were shown in the advertising. Except for the Morgyn character. Nor was Magic HQ the same as what was shown in the trailers. My advice is to be very cautious about expecting what we see in the reveal trailers to be anything more than a way to build hype, and compel players to preorder without waiting to see if the new pack is worth the price.
