It was such a let-down because it took quite a while to rack up the 48 credits per Sim that is required to obtain a degree. What’s a graduation without a celebration?! To be honest, I felt that it was a poor conclusion to the whole experience. It definitely would have been more interesting, and certainly more satisfying, for the player to be able to watch the ceremony and interact with fellow graduates throughout it.Įven more annoying was that my Sims were all whisked home before they could throw one last party on campus. It was a big disappointment then when the ceremony only involved them entering a building and emerging a while later in their gowns. In my game, I sent three Sims to college at the same time and after the lengthy routine of going to classes and getting them to study I was looking forward to graduation time. After all, real grown-ups aren’t supposed to care about things like that ? The rebels will welcome you if you organize some protests and indulge in a little street art – although you risk arrest and a hefty fine! The social groups are definitely a great feature while your Sim is a student but when they enter the “real world”, it just becomes slightly annoying. Embrace your inner nerd by clocking in the hours playing computer games and reading comics. If you want to be in with the jocks, be sure to attend plenty of parties and participate in some team sports at the stadium. You can easily be a part of each group in some way, although the more involved you are with a particular group the more benefits it unlocks for you. There are three social groups: the rebels, the nerds and the jocks. Socialising is a big part of University Life so who you hang out with and what you do can shape your reputation and possibly even your future career. The classes can drag a bit and if you live far away from the main buildings, it seems to take forever for your Sims to get around!

Eventually you’ll probably even find yourself regularly “fast-forwarding” through certain bits.

When your Sims start college, it can be challenging enough at first to keep up with studies and your social life, although it won’t take too long to get the hang of it. If they’re really stuck, they can also check out the noticeboards around campus. If Sims maintain a high GPA whilst in college, they can even apply for additional funds to keep them going until graduation. Sims can choose to live in dorms, fraternities, sororities or – if they have enough Simoleans in the bank – they can rent a private house.Ī certain amount of financial support is available for Sims who are strapped for cash or for those who have earned scholarships. There’s a small but interesting new town to explore with plenty of great locations such as a coffee shop, bowling alley, comic book store and Student Union. To give them the best possible start, Sims are given their class schedules and a chance to “meet and greet” their fellow students as soon as they arrive on campus. Each term is one week long with final exams taking place every Friday. There are 6 courses to choose from Business, Technology, Fine Arts, Communications, Physical Education and Science and Medicine. University Life allows adult Sims to experience all the highs and lows of being a third level student. They can become fire-fighters or private investigators, visit the Pyramids of Egypt or the Great Wall of China, adopt a dog or horse, raise werewolf children and now your Sims can go to university! EA Games released their ninth expansion pack for The Sims 3 this month.
