Detailed (Edit)
- University - Sims University
Sims University is a new sub-neighborhood (similar to the sub-neighborhoods in World Adventures) and its university buildings are New England-inspired with some European influences. Its animal mascot is a llama.
Some of the university buildings are similar to Late Night's apartment buildings, where the interior can be customized while the exterior cannot.
In order to attend university, Sims must be aged from Young Adult to Elder.
When a NPC mascot is around the Sims' lots, they can take aptitude test. The results will depend on their personality and traits which can provide how much financial assistance they can get. The results also show the total aptitude score, along with the sub-scores for the majors and credit award.
Enrolling in university can be done at any time via the phone or the computer. Players will be able to choose their Sims' major and how many credits they can apply to, which affects the length of time the Sims will spend at university.
Sims can study for majors in Business, Science and Medicine, Technology, Physical Education, Fine Arts and Communications.
- Communications majors can broadcast their own radio show.[1]
When a Sim gets in the university, the Work tab on the UI is replaced as the Graduation tab. It keeps records of his schedule and responsibilities. He will also receive a major-specific object which helps him to study and boost his academic score without going for lectures. During the stay, time will move slower in the main neighborhood.
On the first day in Sims University at noon, there will be a "meet-and-greet" orientation at the student union, where Sims can "get to know" one another and get free items at stands.
The lecture halls are open, thus lectures are interactive. This feature is similar from The Sims 2: University. What lectures the Sims had been will affect their lives down the road.
Graduation happens university-wide. If Sims graduate in university, they can be promoted to the top of their future careers easily.
- New lot types

At the student union, there will be an option for Sims to sign up for group projects and clubs.

- New social groups
Sims can choose to join one of the three social groups:
- Nerds
- Jocks
- Rebels
By using the mouse to hover the Sims, it will show what social group they are in. Social groups still exist outside university.
Sims can hang out with these groups and gain credibility, which can offer advantages to them, such as lifetime rewards.[1]
