The Sims 3: University Life

The Sims 3: University Life is the ninth expansion pack for The Sims 3. After rumors circulating through listings and ratings, Electronic Arts announced the expansion pack an hour before the live chat was broadcast on January 8, 2013. There is also a limited edition available which includes the Partaeus Maximus statue. University Life was released on March 5, 2013 in North America, March 7, 2013 in Europe, and March 8, 2013 in United Kingdom.

University Life 's theme is college, similar to that in The Sims 2: University, thus giving the Sims a "college experience" while at university. It has brought some returning features from The Sims 2's expansion packs, as well as introduced new features for The Sims 3. The pack and its world are Seasons-compatible.

Features

 * Help your Sims make the grade: Your Sim can broadcast their own radio show as a Communications major or bone up on anatomy with a skeleton for the Science and Medicine major. New major-specific objects, social activities and student union lectures make learning more fun than ever.
 * Let loose and party: Host a bonfire by the lake, or throw a wild Juice Kegger party. There are lots of ways to have a great time at university.
 * Make connections and network: Text, blog and stream video to build that all-important social network. Join one of the three groups on campus—the nerds, the rebels, and the jocks, then develop your cred with special activities. Become a legend in your group and you could earn a dream job or a coveted extra trait.
 * Reap the benefits of higher education: University graduate Sims can move up the career ladder more easily with faster promotions and higher entry-level jobs.
 * Explore the Campus and Town: Strike out at the bowling alley, flirt with the barista at the Roasted Toasted Beans or browse comic books at Keith’s Komics. There’s a whole new town and campus full of places to explore.
