It is a spiritual successor to ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]''. The pack re-introduces the college experience to the game, along with the return of the [[Servo]] [[life state]]. Its new world of [[Britechester]] is home to two rival campuses: [[University of Britechester]] and [[Foxbury Institute]]. Additional features include [[roommate]]s, the [[law]], [[education]] and [[engineering]] careers, toilet stalls and [[bicycle]]s. It is a spiritual successor to ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'', with minor elements from ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Ambitions]]'' and ''[[The Sims 3: Into the Future]]''. It is also the first university-themed pack that allows Sims to attend university off-campus, and allows non-students to visit and live in the campus world. ==Official description== Line 41 ⟶ 44: ==New features== ===World and neighborhoods=== {{Main\|Britechester}} This pack ~~will introduce~~introduces a new world called Britechester with two universities: University of Britechester and Foxbury Institute. ===Degrees=== {{Main\|Degree}} ''Discover University'' introduces thirteen degrees that are available at any university.

''Discover University'' is the first content-pack for ''The Sims 4'' to require 64-bit (PC) and Metal (Mac) systems as part of its minimum system requirements to run. This was originally planned for ''[[The Sims 4: Island Living]]'' expansion but was pushed back. Unlike ''The Sims 2: University'', Sims may interrupt their program between terms, but will lose any scholarships they may have. This is the first university themed expansion pack that allows sims to attend university while living in their own home. ''Discover University'' is the last ''[[The Sims (series)\|The Sims]]'' pack of the 2010s decade. ==Gallery== <tabber> \|-\|Images = <gallery widths="185"> TS4DU Promo 1.jpg TS4DU Promo 2.jpg TS4DU Promo 3.jpg TS4DU Promo 4.jpg ~~tfw~~Tfw the essay.gif UoB Rejection Letter.jpg Discover University Chinese box art.png\|Chinese box art variation Discover University Welcome.png </gallery> \|-\|Renders = <gallery> TS4DU Render 1.png TS4DU Render 2.png </gallery> \|-\|Videos = <gallery> The Sims 4™ Discover University Official Reveal Trailer Line 120 ⟶ 147: ==Music== ===~~Hip-Hop~~Alternative=== Faboo Lorb - butter{{Sic}} TBA Onset - Haiku Hands feat.
