    Just to clarify - I regret buying Journey To Batuu because the gameplay doesn't interest me at all... I have no intention to play through it. That can be an equally important reason to regret buying something (imo)

    I will say that university can be incorporated into regular play by playing on a normal lot. You can go to school similar to going to a job. It's also less exhausting, and your sims makes it to class on time. I did this with a sim, and it was very helpful. It also reminded me of my days at community college. I never went to university, but community college was flexible, and I didn't have to live on campus, had a job, had pets, and it didn't take up my whole life.

      Good to know there's this option! Living on campus was so time consuming! My sim would spend most of the time studying, doing projects and trying to get to class on time, he barely had time to build skills and take care of his needs

      @Maxxx ironic isn't it? I mean, although the sims is a life simulation game, it's supposed to be fun, enjoyable and entertaining. If it feels just like the struggles from real life I think there's no point in playing it instead of just living life lol

    • @elsie4802
      @elsie4802 2 роки тому +84

      @Maxxx yeah I feel like in the sims 4 you have to be more creative and come up with storylines to make the game enjoyable because otherwise it’s really easy to just fall into the trap of your sims going to work->eating->building a skill->sleeping, which becomes boring pretty quick. where as I feel in the earlier sims games there are more random things that could happen to your sims that would change up their lives.

    • @jbaby283
      @jbaby283 2 роки тому +12

      Well it does help a bit but i'd say still, you cannot really play it if you have many households to take care of in one game bc you literally have to put a pause to every other houses to focus on your uni sims cuz if not, your uni sims will go to uni on their own, but there's also presentations and uni papers which your uni sims may not do, and if you switch games then they may not gonna do it. BUT once your sims finish uni they can find jobs with 3xx/hour which is insane but it's good for those who wanna work their sims up from the bottom.

    Tips for people complaining about Uni pack:
    1. If you don't like the uni dorms just live on your own residential lot
    2. For faster homework, raise your sim's research & debate skill and assign the 'study spot' lot trait
    3. Go to class with focused moodlet & select study hard option for higher chance to get A+ grade
    4. Make offerings to university's main statue to get an instant focused moodlet & to join the Secret Society
    5. Fresh grad sims will start their career at lv. 7 (with distinguished degree) or lv. 8 (distinguished degree with honor) & higher payment. You have to select the branch career with little green icon, that means the career is related to your sim's degree

    Discover university just felt so stressful and before anyone comes in like “ uh it’s college it’s supposed to be stressful. “ lemme explain. Sims 3 had the same thing with going to college but it put a pause on your game. Your sim would not age up and neither would sims in your household. Also, classes. Sims 4 added more frustration with the constant homework and projects your sim had to do meanwhile Sims 3 only had classes to go to and a book they could study from and an object for their major.

    What I hate about university is its inconsistent. While you're sim is there the rest of the game is paused but if you go to another family or even their family all of a sudden your sim is failing. You have to micromanage them. Very frustrating especially for someone like me who likes to jump around. If I could set my sim to follow my lead, ie. Go to class 5 min early to arrive on time and always do homework after class then go to the dining hall. It would make the game play for me so much better.

    “It isolates from the rest of the world and puts a pause on the rest of the storylines you’re working on.”
    Is that not real college 💀 I agree with you tho

    Personally I love discover university. I love the clothing choices and I usually play normal play throughs so having my sim go to college is fun. My top 3 regretted packs are : strangerville, journey to batuu, and wedding pack

    Discover university is soooooo drawn out I agree. But I like it cuz if you can get past it's monotony your sim gets incredible boosts in careers your degree caters to after graduation.

    While I don’t regret buying university, I do see what you mean about it halting all your other gameplay. In my personal save I often don't move Sims on campus, however the problem of grades still lurks. If you don't always play the exact same household within a save time passes and grades drop, eventually it's academic probation for any sim in university.

  • @tomokokurokiirl
    @tomokokurokiirl 2 роки тому +2

    tip for those who like the university pack but never have the patience to get your sims to finish the degree: there’s a shorter university mod, i personally use the option where you only need 6 classes to graduate

  • @daniellew.292
    @daniellew.292 Рік тому +1

    i send most of my sims to uni so that pack i do use a lot. but the thing is, it's kinda glitchy, the bicycles and sims stuck outside of campus buildings etc. Also the dorms are kinda rough to live in if you don't edit it through freebuild mode, and it's always a hustle to keep up with the homework 😂 I personally would prefer Sims 3 uni, as i remembered it was lotta fun

  • @SaintShion

    I will always say this, Batuu cld have been great! They shld have just made it a real Theme Park! Imagine it!
    ur sims treat it like the real Star Wars Batuu theme park, their aspirations to go to Batuu cld include riding rides, eating food, making lightsabers, meeting driods, etc. Geek sims cld get special moodlets, to geek out, the aliens cld be workers in costume and pose for photo opps, there cld be park food u cld learn, and add a part time job at the park. Things like the ship cld be the rides and the sneaky "quest" rabbit holes cld be rabbit hole Rides where u get story prompts like Sylvan Glade or the hidden mine and have many outcomes w diff moodlets.
    It wldn't be immersion breaking to see other townies there since it's a park so it wldnt be some weird secret! u cld play storylines where u take ur kids there and make family memories, or if actors came on the lot u cld pretend they were in the movies or smthng and u cld buy merch like hats, posters, figurines of Star Wars and play lightsabers w kids to build creativity. Wearing the CAS Batuu outfits to the park cld be like cosplay and recreating Batuu themed rooms/stuff in a sims home cld be like a fan storyline.
    Its like they just shoved Star Wars in and it doesn't make sense as is. Also I get sick of things being "secret" but sims have no reactions to it when they find it.

    @dorakay799 2 роки тому +1

    I think (just my own opinion and experience) University is great IF you're playing one generation or sim at a time. If you're trying to play it within a save that you have multiple active homes it does get finicky. I love the careers we got in the pack. I always use the education or law career.

    One I recommend: Cottage living. After I bought it it’s pretty much the only stuff I use whether it’s the world, clothes, or items. The animals are so cute, I like the farming, and cross-stitching= the best. Of course it’s one of the more expensive ones because of how much there is but I love it so much

  • @booksandstawberrytea

    One of my favorites packs in gameplay is Discover University… I don’t like playing in a dorm, but when living on a normal lot, it’s really fun..!

  • @tisvana18
    @tisvana18 Рік тому

    I like the clothes and build/buy items from Batuu so I don’t regret buying it.
    The only one I KIND OF regret getting was Dine Out, and even then I still use those decorations in every build. I always get my packs on sale or in bundles so I typically don’t ever have a lot to regret.
    My rule of thumb: If you can squeeze one hour of use for every dollar you spent, it was a fine purchase.

    University in real life can be an isolating experience as you are going away to dive into studying a particular field and you’re away from family and friends.
    But I do agree that it takes a lot of work to get through the gameplay.

  • @Alexis-go5cd
    @Alexis-go5cd Місяць тому

    i just bought university on the new sale and im actually addicted. i wake up i play sims university gamplay, i fall asleep while playing sims university gameplay. if you guys r thinking of getting the pack bcs u like the idea of university gameplay dont let this video stop you. its rlly fun and pretty accurate. you always have something to do so it never gets boring, and theres so many degrees to choose from and lots of storylines you can play out. if isolation is a problem for you just live off campus or send multiple sims to uni at once. though its not rlly a problem for me even with my sims living at uni alone bcs their parents visit 2x a week and they go home on the weekends or between terms.

    Although I personally expected more from the pack, Batuu is a fun world. Unnecessary, but fun.
    And while university is a chore, it can apply to your story I'd ya want. 😉
    My wedding, we'll you're spot on for that one 😆
    Great video as always 👍

    I like using discover university as a world starter, it helps me shape my sims into what they wanna be and gets them friends that I can incorporate into my story lines. I bought it a bit over a year after it came out (like I have with all the patches I own) so there weren't really much surprises or regrets with any of my purchases (besides the amount of money I've given to EA at this point lmao)

  • @maryamkhan7829

    For discover university I feel the main reason people feel it puts a pause on your life is because ,added to class time the homework and essays take a lot of time to get through, my recommendation would be to get littlesimsies mod that speeds up the homework that way you can still send your sim to university and have time to do other things ❤

  • @psychticambitin7987

    University is definitely my go-to pack, it makes the game incredibly easy. If you age up your sims with top-notch toddler and complete the relevant child aspiration, it’s super easy as long as you don’t take any electives.
    It gives you insane amounts of money

  • @DevilGamer-hh6tu

    Discover University would be great if played right in my case I managed a 6 member household who are all attending 4 classes per semester. They turned out fine and I moved on to generation gameplay with the same group but it was a mad headache. Journey to Batuu would've been better if it they were a spin off like Medieval and Castaway

    Batuu is actually really good for the gameplay, once you start doing more of it.
    The rabbit missions are meh, but the world will change based on your faction at a certain point, it added poker/gambling, and the rewards for the aspirations are interestingly cool. Overall I'd say it's better then a lot of the gamepacks we have.

    I am probably gonna buy discover university because I am more of the person who likes seeing my sims age up and live a great life (like for example the kid will grow up and have her/his own kids) and I feel like this pack will just add on to their adventures (high school living definitely changed a lot)
