Customer Reviews

university this game is absolutely fun beyond fun. the amount of detail they put in university is beyond comprehension. before you even get to college, if you did good enough in your school work, you can apply for scholarships and get a max of about 6500 if you passed school with an a+. only teens can go to a university. you can pick three different schools of you choice. they all offer the same stuff. or you can make your own university. after you get there, you immediately become a young adult. you have freshy, soph, junior, and senior years to go to. each year has 2 semesters and each semester lasts 3 sim days or 72 in game hours or 72 minutes in real life. you are in school for a total of 24 days and while in school you dont age. you only become a young adult in college. if you dont go to college you wont become a young adult. you will go from being a teen to an adult. you can live in a dorm with other sim students, go to greek house (fraternity or sorority, you can be either/or without regards to what sex you are), or rent your own house on campus. living in the dorms is free, but it may slow your computer down a little since its so many sims on screen. i dont know if living in the greek house is free or not but thats a little bit better than a dorm from what i heard and having your own rented house is good to but its pretty expensive. you can have a roommate if you want. you go to class, you have to do homework assignments, write term papers on the computer, pick 1 of 11 majors (you can switch your major as many times as you want until you get to your senior year then you are stuck with whatever major you have and you dont have to pick a major your freshy year if you dont want to, but you do your sophmore year). at the end of every semester you have to take a final exam. depending on how much homework you did will determine your final grade at the end. if you get top marks, you will get 1200 dollars at the end of the semester in the form of a grant and get on the deans list. you can party a lot if you want and not do any work but you risk getting on academic probation which means you repeat the semester. you fail a second time then you get kicked out of school forever. you can drop out to if you want, but thats no good now is it? theres a lot to this expansion pack than meets the eye. you have to play it your self to really get a understanding of it all. as far as bugs are concerned i havent experienced any, so as far as i know there are none. i bought my version last week sometime so they probably fixed the bugs in the games. the other stuff you get with this collection is just that, stuff. just to add more to the core game. i highly recommend this game. the only thing with the university pack is that you dont really get anything else out of it except that you can start a career higher up than at the bottom like you would if you didnt have a degree. you only gain more money and maybe even some more friends. matter of fact that almost seems to copy real life colleges. almost. Need more stuff I love the Sims, but this expansion and the stuff packs that come with it still don't have a lot of "stuff." I guess I got spoiled by the first Sims for PC and Sims 2 for PS2...seems like there was more furniture, clothes, decorations, and objects than I've seen with Sims 2 for PC. But overall, fun game, great graphics, runs smoothly. It freezes up! We had nothing but trouble with this expansion pack. We are running The Sims 2, Nightlife and Pets on Windows Vista, and simply could not use this game. It constantly froze up during play. When we investigated out on the Internet, we discovered that this is a common problem with this pack. So be forewarned, it is loads of fun, but you might have a very disappointing experience.
