Will other sims I'm not controlling automatically go to the university?

As far as I remember, the Gurus mentioned that the game won't pull in existing unplayed families (so no random Nancy Landgraab being a student in Britechester) but generate new ones when you're in dorms/on campus.

If you want more control over SIms that show up in the unis, you can create households, enroll them in University, then set them to unplayed and they will continue attending university (and graduate eventually if you have aging on).

@darrenfroggy .. I have been looking for this answer because I plan to enroll so many households in University and dorms so I see my friends there and their girlfriends. I hope this works because I really want to see all of my Sims I've spent time creating at University. I can't stand random townies. Does "set them to unplayed" mean I'm not playing them? Can they still be marked as a favorite?

Marking them favorite moves them from the Other Households to My Households, so they're no longer considered unplayed, I think. I'm not quite sure how the uni progression will work then (if they're active households, their progress through university might not be automatic, you might need to check in on them and enroll them into classes at the end of each term.

We'll have to wait until the pack is out, I guess, to get all the details and options for the way it's set up.
