With the University expansion pack, our old friend, Sims 2, goes to an all new, strange place: college.
There's a lot of new stuff added to the game with this pack. Heck, it's practically a game all on its own! You get a new life-stage for your Sims (young-adult), new aspirations (including ones like "First Woo-Hoo!"), eleven majors your Sim can pick from, fraternities, dorms, campus hang-out spots, places where you can work part time, all new gizmos and doo-dads, etc, etc!
Best of all, when you graduate and your Sim enters the working world, they will almost certainly be hired at the fourth or fifth level of their career! Plus you'll already have a great many skills (especially if you raised your Sim from an infant), and friends, so once you get out into the "real" world, you should have no problem advancing.
There's no down side at all to this game (well, except for the fact that I've never managed to get my Sim into a frat or sorority. Probably because, like me, they're pretty anti-social. I am a gamer, after all). There's all the usual Sims elements we know and love plus all the extras! A total win for "Sims 2" players everywhere!
Rating: - Great Edition!
I loved this because it's fun for this "young adults" to be living with there friends in dorms and going to college and stuff! I loved also how your major can boost a career in that area! It helps out! Alot of fun!
Rating: - Pretty Good
Overall it's a fun expansion pack. The hourly setup for college is a great idea and it makes the game flow nicely. Definitely recommend it for Sims fans!
Rating: - Expansion Pack adds new aspects of playability
Uni is good if you want to have more time with your sims. You get an additional 28 (?) sim days out of it, so lots more time for reaching those LTWs of 50 first dates and 25 whoohoos and such or for extra skill building. Also lots of time to make loads of friends for popularity sims. For me, its just too long. I don't want to play a sim through 2 full lifetimes.
Rating: - Nice addition
I was so excited when I finally bought this game on Amazon on last week! It arrived to my house earlier than I thought,and it was much needed to add dimension to the game. I like having my sims go to school and be in a dorm. It brings back so many fond memories when I was at college. Only thing I wish they could have added was more of a selection of clothes and hairstyles. O and I do wish that I could see them in class instead of them disappearing off the side of the screen when they stand on the sidewalk. However its exciting to see them build relationships that could help them get into a frat or soreity! I wish I could have bought the game sooner, but I got the OFB and then Night. I like em all! I recommend these Games to anyone.
(On the side note I have experienced some slow loading, but thats it!)
