10 but Seasons is tied with it for best ever.

I love cas and most of the game play but going to classes is such a pain, at least in Foxbury. Those plumming stairs that make biking slower than walking, it takes 1-1,5 hours to get to the building. Sims usually leave early autonomously, but if you cancel it by accident, you're in trouble (=late).
Then there is the problem of Sims going to classes too early. They arrive few minutes too early and sometimes they get bored of waiting and decide to go back to dorm to get a glass of water. Good luck trying to cancel the action, especially when there are stairs on the way... :s

Funny you say that, I just finished watching Carl's review and that's exactly what he complains about too :joy:

Definitely not an issue in Britecheser!

I love cas and the build mode items. I dont like that anything else university related is rabbit holes. It would have been so nice if atleast one class could have been like sims 3 where you actually attend the class. Still playing though so might change my mind. But for now its a 6 from me ;) Happy simming everyone <3

I like the cas items, wish for more male options. And overall the experience at uni has been fun so far. I have a couple of niggles with it, like please npc take a shower or go to sleep. And it seems a little empty in places as though not many sims are attending uni. It’s a nice break inbetween teen growing up and getting a job.

That happened to my sim to, so now when I get to class and I'm waiting I have him walk back and forth, over and over. Don't talk to anyone, just walk up and down the path and stay close. When its almost time stop telling him to walk., also he always seems to go about 5-10 minutes late, but thats ok. It made me nervous at first because I thought he wasn't going but after 5-10 minutes he did go. Thats every time so its ok.> @Kimmer said:

So far, I have only enrolled one Sim in University. The application process took too long in my opinion. I am used to just moving my Sims to University and picking a dorm room for them to claim (Sims 2). She has done her homework for one of the classes she is enrolled in. She hasn't actually attended a class yet (I haven't played that long yet). I am hoping to get more playing time this weekend so I can actually get a feel for the classes and time it takes to complete a degree. I will come back and edit this post after I play a bit longer.

I'm not likely to rate anything 10, so I've done 9. But it's one of the best packs to date. My only complaint is lack of lots and flexibility of lots. I want to add a bar/club to the campuses. Trying to convert the university housing lots to venues looks a bit out of place. Also the stove in dorms issue. Aside from that, great pack! I'm about a third of the way through rebuilding Britechester and loving it. One sim is halfway through her degree and loving it. Only bug I'm having is roommates/NPCs failing their degrees.

Overall, good solid pack. BB is good, gameplay is good, haven't looked at a lot of the CAS but what I've seen seems good. I'm really happy with it :).

A solid 9 from me. I can’t rate it a 10 because there are little things here and there that bug me (like roommates not attending to their needs very well) but overall it’s a fantastic pack and my favorite behind seasons. The CAS is probably my favorite ever especially for male sims. The BB is solid as well with some really versatile items.

The gameplay is just enjoyable. I like the different tasks you have to do for the classes. The organizations are fun to mess around with and a challenge to keep up with. I like that it’s actually hard and adds a good challenge to the game depending on how many classes you take. The amount of replayability with this pack is also a huge plus. I’ll use it frequently. The only downside is having to freeze aging during uni but that’s fine and not a huge deal gives me more time with my sims.

The world is also beautiful and you can swim in certain areas which is a cool plus. I also like having two campuses to choose from and how different they are. Ive still got a lot of exploring to do with this pack but it’s a top pack to me for the time being and I’m thinking it’s going to remain that way.

There are bits of annoyance here and there such as Sims wanting to get on bicycle in Foxbury and Foxbury having so many staircases. And cafeteria food service provider popping in after your Sim arrives on the lot. etc.

But I love this pack!

It helps the Sim skill up about 6-8 levels. And in a way, gives players the opportunity to tell the story of a mid-career switch through study, or the little rich girl not knowing what to focus on and just wants to try a bit of everything.

I can’t bear doing Mean and Mischief actions but that Villainy degree skills up my Sim who wants to be an Intergalactic Smuggler while maintaining a pristine reputation.

And the roommate system! OMG. Haha. I got to have my Sim choose a partner from meeting so many new Sims at university.

Even in base game, I can have a mansion and middle class family get tenants as they struggle to pay bills.

To me, this opens up so many options to do things that I previously wouldn’t do in the game (I know this is a game). And also opens other ideas that I hadn’t thought about in my storytelling.
