The Sims 2: University

The Sims 2: University, or UNI, was the first expansion pack released for The Sims 2 on March 1, 2005. The basic idea was to give Sims a college experience.

Features

 * College: Upon installing UNI players have the option to send any teenage Sim to college. The teen then moves out of the family's home and into a special "college town", transitioning into a young adult. Sims in college reside in dorms, Greek houses, or private residences if they can afford to do so. They must choose a majors and attend classes, while trying to develop new social contacts and retain relationships formed at home. Upon graduation, the Sim returns to his or her home neighborhood a full-grown adult and has many more career opportunities compared to Sims who did not attend college.
 * New careers: UNI adds four new career paths that can only be entered by college graduates, though the choice of which careers require degrees seems a bit odd. (Apparently, Sims don't require a degree to be a doctor, but they need one to go into show business). These new careers come with new career reward objects, such as the "antique camera" for the artist career, which allows your Sims to take photographs of their world and hang them on the wall, and the Cowplant for the natural science career which brings the more...undesirable inhabitants of the neighborhood to their demise. There is also a plastic surgery station, so that Sims born with more "unique" facial features can alter their appearance.
 * New Life State: The fourth career reward object added comes from the new paranormal career, and adds a new life state to the game. The Resurrect-O-Nomitron gives your Sims the ability to bring their loved ones back from the dead by "calling the Grim Reaper". However, raising the dead comes with a price. When a Sim places the call to the beyond, he or she is asked how much they are willing to pay for their loved one's life. The amount paid determines the result of the call, if the Sim bids:
 * §1-$987: The plea fails. The Reaper keeps the money, but does not revive the Sim.
 * §988-$4127: The Sim is revived, but as a zombie.
 * §4128-$8512: The Sim returns looking exactly as they once did, but with their personality reversed and their skill points lost.
 * §8513-up: The Sim returns exactly as they were, with personality and skill points intact.
 * Note: The Grim Reaper will always resurrect a child perfectly.
 * New music: Includes College Rock and Jazz.
 * New interactions: They are there to help you in your college life or just have fun, i.e. streaking.
 * New self interactions: Sims can now buy a cell phone, walkman or game console from a vending machine on campus. Sims can then use these objects autonomously or by user-direction.
 * New themes: There are several clothing and furnishing themes in this expansion, including Greek, Punk and 60's. These include new wallpapers, furniture and clothing.
 * Secret societies: Some members of the campus community walk around in snappy suits. Befriend three or more of these Sims and you will join the secret society. These societies allow Sims to use the interaction 'Secret Handshake', 'Hack Grades' on a computer and use the societies club house, which has a Cowplant, Resurrect-O-Nomitron and a camera.
