Detailed (Edit)

University - Sims University
Sims University is a new sub-neighborhood, and its university buildings are New England-inspired with some European influences.
  • Sims aged from Young Adult to Elder can attend the university.
  • Sims can study for majors in Business, Science and Medicine, Technology, Physical Education, Fine Arts and Communications.
  • Enrolling in collage can be done at any time via the phone. Players will be allowed to choose their major and how many credits they can apply to which affects the length of time players spend at university.
  • Time will move slower in the main neighborhood while your Sims are away at collage.

At the student union, there will be an option to sign up for group science projects, lectures, etc. On the first day in Sims University at 12:00pm, there will be a "meet-and-greet", where Sims can "get to know" one another and get free items at stands. There may have a food court, along with new drinks. There may also have a photo booth that looks different than the photo booth in Showtime.
