'''''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 (sub-neighborhood)|college]] experience.
 
==Description==
[[File:The Sims 2 University LogoThe_Sims_2_University_Logo_(Original).png|90px|left|90px]]
''Your Sims are now young adults leaving home to live the ultimate college fantasy. Immerse them in college life as they become the Big Sim on Campus. They'll relish their new-found freedom as they party with friends, join fraternities and sororities and pull outrageous pranks. Your Sims will explore all the campus hot-spots as they frequent lounges, gyms, coffee houses and more. Help them fulfill new lifetime goals to unlock more rewards and reap all of the benefits of their university years.''
 
==Features==
* '''[[College (sub-neighborhood)|College]]''': Upon installing UNI, players have the option to send any [[teen]]age 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 [[dormitory|dorms]], [[Greek house]]s, or private [[Residential lot|residences]] if they can afford to do so. They must choose a [[majors|major]] and attend [[Class performance#Class|classes]], while trying to develop new social contacts and retain relationships formed at home. Upon [[graduation]], the Sim returns to their home [[neighborhood]], a full-grown [[adult]] and has many more [[career]] opportunities compared to Sims who did not attend college. The majors available are: Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Political science, Psychology, Art, Biology, Drama, Economics, History, and Literature.
* '''New [[career]]s''': 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 rewards|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 for the show business career, 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 [[Death|dead]] by "calling the [[Grim Reaper]]." However, raising the dead comes with a [[Simoleon|price]]. When a Sim places the call to the beyond, they may end up with the Sim revived, but as a [[zombie]].
*'''New music''': Includes College Rock and Jazz. All songs are in [[Simlish]].<ref>Community lot speakers for the [httphttps://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=223212 College Rock] and [httphttps://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=223125 Jazz] channels were not included, but are available as custom content from [[ModTheSims]].</ref>
*'''New [[interactions]]''': They are there to help you in your college life or just have fun, e.g. [[Streaking]].
*'''New [[autonomous reactions|self interactions]]''': Sims can now buy a cell phone, MP3 player or handheld game from a vending machine on campus. Sims can then use these objects [[autonomous reactions|autonomously]] or by user-direction.
Line 38 ⟶ 39:
*'''New social interactions''': There are new social interactions such as instruments like the [[bass]], [[guitar]] and [[drums]], [[prank]]s and pillow fights. Sims can also have study groups, which improves [[relationship]]s with other Sims while boosting grades. Sims can also [[influence]] other Sims to do certain things by clicking the "Influence To...". There is also a new interaction called "[[Hang Out]]."
*'''[[Create a Student]]''': A new way to create young adult students, somewhat similar to [[Create a Sim]] except just for that life stage.
*'''New objects''': ThereIntroduced isa nownew selection of [[musical instruments]], a new [[treadmill]], available[[mobile andphone]]s, newerMP3 players, a new [[weight machine]]s and more.
