A new expansion pack titles Discover University is now available on Xbox One for The Sims 4. Now’s your chance to experience the Uni life with your sims.
Enrol and get your sim signed up for some classes in the city of Britechester, it’s time to learn about all the opportunities of university life. After all, college is about more than just academics—even though those are important too.
Choosing a School
With two prestigious school options to choose from, Sims can’t go wrong as they start their educational journey. The stately University of Britechester is particularly known for molding students into smart, well-rounded Sims ready to face the world’s challenges, offering a variety of degree paths strongly focused on the arts and humanities. If your Sim is more tech-inclined, the modern Foxbury Institute boasts impressive facilities as well as both events and distinguished degree programs geared toward science and technology.
Academic Rigor
Despite all the fun activities on campus, your Sim’s first priority should be classes if they want to succeed in their future careers. Choose from a variety of possible degrees—like Art History, Biology, Drama, or Villainy, for example—and make sure Sims go to their lectures, prep for presentations, and finish all their homework. If they’re struggling, maybe have them join a study group.
Living Situations
Whether your Sims opt to live on campus in a dorm or commute in from home, you can explore and decorate with plenty of new college swag. Make it a haven for studying or the spot to be for nightly hangouts with posters, mini-fridges, and healthy amounts of university-themed pride. Just make sure you get along with your roommates if you have them or things could get awkward!
Getting Around
Bicycles are here! Your Sim can pedal around campus to explore all their new alma mater has to offer, from the student commons to the library. Bikes are especially helpful when your Sim is running a little late for class and needs to kick it into gear to save their grades!
On-Campus Activities
There are plenty of new experiences on the horizon for your Sims! While academics are important (no slacking if you want to stay in school!), it’s also good to have fun and learn things outside of the classroom too! Check out all of the various clubs on campus, from the Bot Savants and the Brainiacs at Foxbury Institute to the Debate Guild and Art Society at U of B. Unofficially, your Sims can challenge their classmates to some juice pong at a party, attempt a keg stand, or participate in the heated school rivalry with some unruly shenanigans and pranks. If none of that is up your Sim’s alley, maybe they want to investigate the rumours about a certain secret society…
Scholarly Style
College is all about trial and error—including stylish nights out and the next-day fashion disasters that follow. Experiment with your Sim’s personal expression, from new piercings and hairstyles to university swag they can get from the campus kiosks. It’s the perfect time to explore the way they present themselves to the world.
Money Matters
It might be crass to discuss it, but it’s a real concern for university students! How are your Sims planning to pay for their future? Check out the scholarships and grants awarded for athletics and academics alike or take out student loans if they need to wait until after graduation to start paying it back.
Don’t be afraid to push your Sim’s limits, in the library and at the juice pong table. Take a chance and meet new people, invest in your Sim’s future, master all the necessary skills, and above all, explore who your Sims are—and who they want to be. Any university experience is possible here. Ready to start creating those memories for your Sims?
