The Sims 2: University Expansion Pack (PC)

..."The Sims 2"? For the few people out there don't know, The Sims 2 is a life simulator computer game which allows a single player to create neighbourhoods and families of humans (called "Sims") to go within them. It is up to the player to create, decorate and furnish a home for your Sims, and then, control the course of each Sim's life for better or worse. The success of the Sims has stemmed from its "no rules" feel. There's nothing to stop the ...
...and decorate complex houses, using the game as a cheap substitute for a doll's house, or create "movies" with the clever "recording" option that allows the user to take short films of a Sims' life. The Sims 2 builds on the success of the original game by adding two new factors into the equation: Sims now have aspirations in life, goals which they want to achieve, and fears that they want to avoid, which will boost or lower a Sim's motivation and ...

Review of The Sims 2: University Expansion Pack (PC)

The Sims started off a new phenomenon when it first appeared on the PC scene back in the year 2000. For consistent years it has been the 'Number 1 Pc game of all time'. Electronic Arts games certainly prides itself on that particular fact. The Sims was a worldwide hit, and with the ability to create whole families, build homes for the sims infested areas, and take control of their lives from day one, proved a popular concept. And indeed, those human ...
...late last year, which introduced the new concept of 'taking your Sims from cradle to grave'; a morbid yet really interesting and welcome twist. I played both the first and second games and was equally addicted to both. Games designers certainly did their homework on what PC games such as this, that put fans into the driving seat, allowing them to play god, should provide to interested would-be players who will appreciate the games appeal, and won't ...

Once you have installed the Sims University, you can choose to send Egbert to University at any time before he turns into an adult, either by using the phone or the computer and selecting 'Go to college'. Simple as that. You could even get Egbert to work on his skills so that he has a few more simoleons in his pocket in ...

...you already have. So, with the university expansion, not only do your sims get the university experience, but you get a whole host of new items, such as new furniture, outfits and places to go. The brilliance of this expansion is its close reality to the real life university experience. Your sim gets to choose its Major, and works on their assignments and goes to lectures in order to get the best mark possible. When you decide that your sim is ...
...you try and call for the scholarship, but even then you won't know how talented your sim is. Just whether you are eligible or not. So, you then say goodbye to your parents, and a taxi arrives to pick you up. You then choose what sort of accommodation you would like to live in, either sharing with just 3 other sims, or as many as roughly 10 other sims. It depends how much of an atmosphere you want. You can also choose to move in with other sims - ...

Review of The Sims 2: University Expansion Pack (PC)

The Sims 2 University was one of the first expansion packs for the The Sims 2 so of course I was optimistic about trying it for the first time. It gave a new dimension to the base game, allowing teenagers the chance to go to University once they'd finished their teen years. You didn't have to choose this option however, you could still transform your teens as per normal too. The expansion pack offered the young sim three campuses they could go on ...
...boring quite quickly. You played the University pack like it was a new household and you kind of lost touch with your main families. There weren't that many add ons for the game and once you've got one sim through their course you've pretty much had enough. However the pack did have its good points, it introduced musical instruments to the house where not only students, but families too could learn whole new songs. It worked on how many creativity ...
