Which university-related expansion pack do you love most?

    Final Option: I work in a University and I’m sick to the back teeth of students. I have no desire to find them moping around in my game as well. ?

    The reason I bought Sims 4 Uni is because I wanted to play with a secret society and build robots. Mostly build robots. That secret society is …hmm?…..how can I put this… The Get Together Club system does the job perfectly alright.

    I never played with Sims 2 Uni, but I do own Sims 3 Uni and I like that one, especially The Big Mean Science Machine and getting arrested for street art / vandalism. In Uni 4 there is 0 consequence for teepeeing that statue. I do however like the fact that in Uni 4 a sim is able to live off campus. It makes sense. I mean why would anyone want to live in dorms?

    Anyways, Universities are pointless. Just don’t tell anyone. ?
  • The TS2 version as it's simple and direct, adequate for gaming purposes. All the majors make sense and are directly connected to career opportunities. For those who like the secret society idea they are present and believable. Having been involved with the college/university scene in one way or another since 1967, am a university graduate, and have returned to it since last year, so speak as an 'insider'.

    I hated that you had to live on campus in 2 and 3, so I never managed to get any students to graduate in 2 or 3. It just got too boring for me and the way I play.
  • Sims 2 University for me. I love the on campus lifestyle (I stick my Sims in a dorm immediately). This allows them to focus on skills, class assignments, term papers, and social life. My Sims usually find their future spouse and other friends while there. I barely played the University pack for 3 so I can't compare that one. With Sims 4 DU, I could not figure out if my Sim ever got accepted to Uni so I just eventually gave up.
  • I dont see nancy landgraab in sims 3 university so thats a plus, i like the group science project that can create global hivemind or put everyone to sleep, hundreds of premade university students that looks like a real student dressed according their social group, is a place where i usually find spouse for my sims as well.
  • My first place is Sims 2 University, it was easy to keep track of the grades, and it was pretty fun.
    Second I would say Sims 3, because it felt like it took what made Sims 2 University great, and expanded on it.
    Last would be Sims 4, the outfits are good, and the world is nice, but you can't see the grades for the Sims, and it can take pretty long to finish.
  • I have played sims 2 and 4 with sending sims to university and enjoyed them both. I preferred dorm life (with stoves) and the secret society with the secret lot in sims 2. Sims 4 has the big advantage that the university is not separated from the rest of the world's. Students can live anywhere and combine studies with family life or a work from home job. This is a huge advantage over Sims 2.
