Kayak: it’s so cute!
Also Kayak: I’m still gonna bulldoze though
Lunar eliz “A home? I’d rather have a nightclub.”
kayak? 😂
She's a builder the more ways to change things the more exciting
You spelled kelly wrong
@@annebaudelaire5264 it's actually Kayla lol
I understand that they want us to leave the dorms and go to the cafeteria or somewhere else, but I'm really not looking forward to all those 2 minute loading screens everytime I want to to eat something xd
Same
@meymey welcome to college lol
But its kinda realistic
In my university its a 5 minute walk to my cafeteria
Asexuality a loading screen to a cafeteria isn’t realistic lol
i’m impatiently waiting for you to redo the dorms
I'm honestly not gonna play until she renovates everything 😂
Karleigh Smith Same XD
Right
Don't worry she said she has videos all week
Fucking- same
“It’s cute, it’s small, it matches the world style... I’m gonna bulldoze it.”
Y’all this is literally supposed to be Harvard and MIT lmao. Universities in the same town. One more historic and arts based. The other more modern and science based.
Donya Nasser exactly ! i’ve lived in boston my whole life and it’s a pretty world but i just feel like i’m at home a little. no harvard square though :/
Harvard is really pretty I visited it it was pretty
I feel they could have made it more unique or more realistic though, as it is kind of weird the mixture in the sims how they did it lol
harvard is for a buncha jagoffs who can't shut up for 2 straight minutes
mit is for people who wanna be somebodies without prying eyes on 'em
Flavio Haggis it’s obvious which school
you like
"I didn't have a dorm in my kitchen at all" well that's a phrase I have never heard before
XD
bahahhahah!!
😂 and when she said it correctly it sounded weird
@@torey4322 EXACTLY XD
ChocolateIceCreamLove I mean I don’t think any of us had that
Everyone: WHY CAN’T WE EDIT THE DORMS FGSHSNDKCYCDNMBBSVSGG
Me: _Has flashbacks to sims 3 when I used to sell all the furniture in the dorm apart from the stuff in my room because my sim was broke_
Also me: Yeah that’s probably for the best...
Yeah... I was once able to sell a hundred thousand dollar car that belonged to one of my roomates...
I used to join the sorority just to steal the convertible and sell it lol
Just ask the uni for funds lol I got 5k a day
I use to do that in the sims 2 just go into a dorm and sell all the other sims beds and desks/dressers so that i could have a nicely furnished dorm room skbdjd
You can edit the dorms, just use a cheat, sims just cant live there while you do it and once you move in you cant change it . But in general they gave you the choise you can change it or dont. Its very usual thing for sims 4 with the cheat it gives flexibility for obvious reasons :D
a townhouse really just looks silly when standing alone, little disappointed they didnt give us the chance to use apartments again, itd have rly gone with the townhouses thing! but otherwise, im pretty happy with this pack!
Your sim can live off campus in other cities, so you can live in apartments. But I also wish we would have gotten another apartment building to decorate or gotten the ability to make our own apartments/dorms.
yes it's annoying that they didn't make some of the townhouses in the world liveable as apartments like in the sims city living.
@@tiphanibeard yeah i get that, im just bored of having to use the city living world to live in an apartment, yknow? had those two townhouses been right together on one lot theyd have looked less silly and itd have been a good step towards fixing the 'you can only use x thing with the pack it came with'. i do really love the dorm system, largely, i just find that one thing a little disappointing!
I wonder what happened to the house from the trailer. I was expecting it to be in the town.
Didnt she mention you can pretty much create apartments? Or did I just take it wrong. :(
EA: We didn’t add bunk beds because we didn’t want to alienate foreigners
Also EA: No stoves in dorms they’re a safety hazard
I bet they did this because it would break the cafeteria thing (maybe the employee would cook on the dorms stoves instead) and they wouldn't bother to fix it
Mariana .-. Yeah but it really sucks that you have to go through a 2 minute loading screen just to eat
@@bintang9830 totally
coriander biscuits 😂
But also the thing is in America there are lounges in the dorms where you can use a stove to cook
I’m genuinely so sad we can’t have stoves in the dorms... In my experience of living in Halls (U.K.), the kitchen was the main space we’d all sit and work and hang out. You’d have to claim cupboard space as quickly as you could, you’d spend the whole year finding gross mouldy food in the fridges. You’d make your group Christmas dinner there, your morning pancakes after you stayed up all night playing games. We had carbonara-offs and so so many omelettes/BLTs and pasta dishes. Now my sims can’t experience any of that 😢
Some American university’s have dorm suites where it’s like 3 bedrooms, tiny living room, and the smallest kitchen and that whole thing was a dorm. But the college I saw with these suites didn’t have their own bathroom. Usually offered to upperclassmen. Freshmen gotta suffer and share everything lol
use mini-fridge and oven if you do not want to go out to canteen, you can also eat raw fruits and veggies
Katie it might work if u use the “bb.moveobjects” cheat
Sounds like living off-campus in the US. Although, my school seems to be an exception to most as all the dorms at my university have at least a floor kitchen, if not one in the suite.
Idk but don’t a lot of dorms in America have like a shared community kitchen
I haven’t even gone to college yet so idk
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WATCH 10 GAME CHANGERS VIDEOS AT ONCE AHHHHHHH
Meeeeee
Josephine Blank lmao RIGHT!!!!
Don't watch wait till it comes out and try it for yourself. It is easy for someone who gets a game for free to tell you how good it is. This pack is going to be broken just like the magic pack still is for lots of people accross multiple platforms. Don't fall for the hype
bhahaha having the same problem 🤣
osculim yes don‘t fall for the hype. Have you seen the ea livestream? Just look through all those negative comments
the sims team really tried to tell a story w/ the Elderberry Family haha. I'm pretty sure the room with the "apple boxes" (which are supposed to be like storage boxes) is supposed to look like an old attic w/ the kid's toys. At least the team is trying! I'm so excited to get this pack 🤩
have you seen the live stream? this pack kinda feels like the opposite of trying in my opinion :( I guess everything’s up to different teams though, probably nothing to do with the team who make the lot and try to tell stories
@@rudiejazz I did see the livestream! I was happy with what I saw, but I am comparing to other recent packs. Realm of Magic and Get Famous houses were worse imo.
Elliejoones why I love the sims 3, it has so many secrets and stories and I could spend hours playing ts3 but after an hour I get so bored of ts4
@@amandaros.e but the sims 3 you spend 3 hours playing and 1 full hour just waiting for things to load/stop lagging lmao
@@amandaros.e lol my PC crashed after installing sims 3 University. Then it literally froze every time I opened the sims 3. My laptop was not even a year old, and University was the first pack I installed. I got about 30 minutes of 'fun' before I scolded myself for wasting so much money on a crappy game. Took me 3 years to convince myself to buy Sims 4 after that, since I had lost all faith in the sims team, but I'm glad I did, and I would never go back to the horrendous sims 3 even if I had a state of the art computer. It wasn't designed to be accessible, so I'm not going to give it the time and day
simsie being happy over a pack? haven't seen this in a while
it's actually quite rare
Let's be real: that's always how it goes with new packs. Then the weight of the sponsorship is off, everyone realizes they already exhausted all the content at Sims Camp, and the flaws start to stick out when they spend more time with it. Now we get on the complaining bandwagon and act like they'll do better next time, hype up the next pack, and the cycle continues.
Lauren ღ probably because she’s being paid lmao
kiauna i mean she always complains about packs even when she’s being paid 😂
Its a good pack in my opinion. I am excited
"The ovens are banned on the dorms"
All the moders "Here comes the fixes, as usual" :D
I literally cannot wait for the mods
Lmao
Not really a fix, more of a personal preference...
Bless the modders 💕
we love the modders in this house
This might not be relevant to university, but there's a virus going around on cc downloads. It gives you pop ups of money scams and nsfw sites. If you download cc stay far away from adfly links and go to sites you trust. I just got it and I had to have my whole PC wiped to factory condition(thankfully I back up my save files and mods folder regularly on a drive). Be careful everyone!
Thanks! Will be extra careful with downloads.
YES! Please be careful so you don't see dicks every 5 minutes
this is why you stay the hell away fro AdFly lmao
@@nattybear134 I know, cc shopping directly after dental surgery leads to the dumbest decisions...
You can delete ransomware from the regedit. No need to wipe.
I love that they put a bit of story into the background of the Pleasant’s “family home.” Story has been so lacking in Sims 4.
Pajama Feet i miss them! low key hope the parents broke up in the end
I think the issue is they do add backstories to some townies but there's no prompt to explore it or anything else to find out, whereas Sims 2 had literally like an interactive story of "can you get Cassandra and that painter guy together?"
since 1995 Yes! And I think they dropped more clues here and there in the buy menu and in new lots or backstories, so we’d start draw connections that made it all seem way more mysterious and engaging
Ah yes, yet another thing I can do to live vicariously through my sims. Ride a bike
I never learned how to ride a bike soooo lol
@@sophia3694 same
Onion Face you're not alone there 🙃
@Onion Face there are people who are bad at breathing, dont feel bad, theres always a group of people who suck at something
@@notinuseoldaccount5105 now you guys know not to ever go biking together unless you want an ER trip
EA just had to put out a new expansion pack when my irl university exams are closing in...
Tell me about it !
@kar yuet 12 good luck!
Same girl, but atleast when you're done with the exams yo can watch all of this content and if you're extra lucky you can buy it and play it too !! XD
honestly
I can't believe it but my exams finish on the day that it comes out. And i recently bought cats and dogs expansion too. My life is made!
The thing I’m so mad about is rabbit hole graduation
the budget prob ran out lmao
but imagine the ea team actually having to work to make a non rabit hole grad. w/o bugs?
Kayla: you could play this on a potato laptop, and these lots would still load
My potato laptop: hahahaaaa I beg to differ
Same
Saaaaaame
Works for me lol
Sims “ Brichester is European themed mostly inspired by the UK “
Also Sims: makes it very Americanised
Napdragon I do
@@napdragon2499 I think a lot of people care when it means that we can't relate to this university experience at all
rjyoutube well yeah, but there’s no way they’re gonna be able to make different mechanics for like 5 universities
@@orangesoda2424 if they made the stove restriction optional literally everyone would be happy, those of us who are used to kitchens could have them and if you didn't want them no one is forcing you. They said they didn't include bunkbeds because that's purely an American thing but why not just include them and if people don't relate to that they don't have to use them?
Napdragon actually a lot of us care. Good for you for not caring tho.
The universities really remind me of Ivy League unis in the US, and Oxbridge in the UK.
Edit: the river going through it is definitely Cambridge inspired
Clara T i live in cambridge, definitely does remind me of it :)
Clara T yeah they said the weather was England inspired so Cambridge makes sense
@@neville2308 that's so cool!
it reminded me of st andrews in scotland, which is our answer to oxbridge/the ivy league. the unis are definitely american inspired but i do love that we’re getting more worlds that feel like they could exist in other countries outside america.
Clara T I literally just commented on this. The rivers were definitely inspired by Cambridge but I’m pretty sure I saw a similar looking accommodation building in Oxford (pink exterior and all). And it’s confirmed kinda with the naming: BRITchester - Brit for British and Chester is A common place-name suffix.
"It seems like a god awful nightmare to have two roommates in one, but if you wanna suffer feel free"
I can confirm that it is... in fact a god awful nightmare to have 3 roommates in one shared room.
Yeah my friend got stuck in a triple dorm. Had to have one set bunked and one stand alone bed. No way to have 3 stand alone beds
Same!! I'm in my 2nd year and I've only ever had two roommates (with me as the third)... it lowkey sucks :'D
We have four in Taiwan, three bunk beds(two of them have tables under there, the other two are cramped together In the corner ) and zero personal space(the whole room is just beds and tables cram together), it looks worse than a prison. I live there for a day for a test run, and I can barely sleep in there because I can't stand the thought of people watching me, and my brain drives me nuts, so I don't live in a dorm room .
try four 😂 wth even is dorm life?
*cries at the memory of living in a dorm of seven people for two years*
Sims 4 : *no kitchens* go hang out at the commons.
Me : -microwaves my noodles- “you were saying?”
Kayla: "American Schools don't have kitchens!"
Me: "My American university would kindly disagree ma'am"
Mine had a teeny tiny kitchen. like walk in closet sized and I never actually saw anyone cook but the pans were always dirty. but also i lived in the oldest dorms on campus lol.
mine doesn’t have a kitchen at all loll
Pochama yes! And that’s on Columbia
My dorm building at my university had a kitchen on every floor. They were actually a good size. You could either borrow pots & pans & stuff from the front desk or keep your own in your dorm
when you’re too early that’s there’s no captions available and you can’t hear the video but u watch to support anyways
Same problem
captions are gonna be up soon If u wanna rewatch the vid
Damn, the captions aren’t up automatically upon upload? I’m so sorry, that has to be frustrating.
the auto generated captions are up now btw
Same problem, but in my case only because simsie is so darn quiet. I think she needs to boost her mic volume or somthing
In my game I’m going to replace the starter home with a cafe. I’ll give it the study lot traits and have my sims study there. Sort of like “The Grotto” in the Sims 3.
Esme Ostrow that sounds cute
Aj They have a university student hangout trait and a study trait. I don’t think those are the exact names but they’re something like that.
Aj they are base game i think
ooooooh good idea thank you! I was stuck brainstorming what I wanted to do with it too
That’s an amazing idea!
it'S noT EVEN THREE O'CLOCK THIS IS A BLESSING
Here in Ireland it's 5 oclock
Its 12pm/0:00 AM
it's 6 pm where i am
Stine Henriksen Same
its 7pm here
Being into architecture and as an European I REALLY love this world! Overall I'm really happy with it, the world is STUNNING! And NOT FLAT! There's sloping hills more seamlessy included than before (think about Get Famous or Strangerville, they were way more off on a plateau vs here right in the middle of the town, now we only need townhouse living!). And if you have Cats & Dogs imagine going on a walk there with your dog or just riding a bicycle along those streets...
I probably will turn that cul-de-sac house in the Foxbury neighbourhood into a residential lot and have some young adult sims move in there.
I'm with the non-American Simmers on uni dorms though, it's common to have kitchens for us even in like 8 person flats where you have one shared kitchen and one shared bathroom for the entire floor (people have single bedrooms still). Not to mention in the newer dorm buildings where everyone not only has a single bedroom, but you either have your own bathroom and kitchenette or if you wanna live cheaper you have a 3 or 4 person flat with single bedrooms and like 2 bathrooms and one big shared kitchen. And we still have cafetarias people frequent all the time. So yeah, it would have been nice to at least have the option to turn placing stoves on uni dorms back on, especially since they specifically mentioned the world being based on a British uni town on the live stream and I know from Brits that they have similar dorm arrangements as we do in continental Europe.
I'll wait and see what you do for your Simsie save, but I think I'll definitely reno in more single bedroom in these penthouse dorms. I'm only used to shared bedroom uni housing from American movies and the Chinese dorm rooms of friends I've been in (they're usually 4-8 people in one dormroom in a bunkbed situation, at least at the different uni dorms of the uni I studied abroad at).
Thanks for showing us the residential lots as well, been waiting for this and besides the Foxbury commons they're definitely the buildings I think need the most renovating.
I really want Sims that don't attend uni just living in the town so I dunno. I still would like there to be a pub and maybe a café on the smaller lots and just change the library lot so there's more space for residential buildings (although I think the library is surrounded by streets which might look weird), so maybe I'll use that big town square lot as a pub/café building and use the rest as residential lots.
I’m honestly fine with the rabbit hole classes cause I need a break from my sims sometimes 😅 also playing through the classes in sims 3 got boring fast tbh and I’m glad that all of them weren’t interactive but that’s just my opinion
I am a college student this watching this from my bed in my dorm room with my two roommates and my mini fridge.
i need someone to immediately go in and make a mod so that we can have stoves in the dorms, because having a communal kitchen is actually an essential part of living in student housing in europe lmao
It's actually pretty much the same with a lot of dorms in the USA too, every dorm I've been to had a communal kitchen.
If you change it to a residential lot, you can place a kitchen. They wanted to recreate the struggle that first year (American) students experience
yeah it's so annoying the ea team were like 'we want to make it realistic' it's like what exactly is realistic about the sims when they have vampires, woohooing robots and drowning sims in a pool lol.
Making pancakes or bean stew at 3 o'clock at night and the whole dorm hall swooping down to eat them is a much, much more characteristic experience for my University than keg stands and beer pong.
Eva Smiljanić lol I’m from the US and while I never played beer pong or did a keg stand, my dorm food experience consisted of microwaved mac & cheese and raw cookie dough and that’s about it
I agree. Literally my dorm was EMPTY. Bed, dresser, and a desk. Dassit. This is so realistic. I personally think they did an awesome job with it 🤷🏽♀️
The Britechester dorms for some reason just gave me major flashbacks to the sims 2 dorms (even though they're not all that similar) and this makes me so happy! :D Sims 2 university is genuinely still my favourite pack ever, so I am really looking forward to this.
This video made me a lot more excited for the pack because after the live stream I was terrified that the pack was horrible but she explained it made me feel so much more safe about it so thank you and I will definitely be buying it now
I kinda wish they had some active classes like robotics class or art class where you do stuff
You can join organizations (robotics, debate club, and art society I know are in the game) that'll involve activities around campus like that. In the livestream they showed the robotics club having an event and the art society doing figure drawing, and of course the debate club will meet in the commons & practice.
Same. Not all classes have to be interactive, but I would like some.
me too :-( there's already a Get To School mod where you can follow your kid sims to school, so maybe there'll be a kind of Get To University mod that comes out? i won't get my hopes up but it's a possibility 😂😅
cloud quest the events are cool but from what I saw from youtubers, they’re not very interactive, you’re just kinda there and nothing really happens, I wish they were more like goaled events but I’m sure someone will mod that for me
I wish they had a class centered around sports, where you learn body culture (muscles, nutrition and so on) idk the right english terms, srry
I would imagine for the people saying "oh my god the dorms are so empty I don't get it!" the answer to "when did you ever move into a dorm room" would be "never". These lots look so real to me.
The only thing that doesn't look real to me is the no stoves in. But student rooms always seem to either be big and empty or incredibly small where it only just fits the basics in (bed, desk and wardrobe)
I swear I live in one of these dorms right now
@@welshsam94 Yeah, since I found out about "no stoves" being part of the lot type I'm not as happy about it. They've based most of the pack on UK aesthetics but the UK norm is to have kitchens in the residence buildings. I don't mind leaving stoves out for the American audience but we should be able to add them if we go through the steps to edit the lot.
Sam Gilley when I moved into my freshman dorm, all it had in there was desks that you couldn’t move, closest that was small and the beds. It was so empty. It’s pretty real
britechester honestly reminds me of bath, york or cambridge in the uk and i love it
Same! Foxbury reminds me of UEA (university of east anglia) but I only went once on a visit day so I don't know it well.
"I relate to him a lot like with the no friends thing"
Me too, Kayak
I was so excited for this pack and then I watched the sims livestream... omg they need new gurus! They were so boring, didn’t cover things and destroyed the entire pack. Glad I watched yours, I’m back in!
tracey marbury yeah I don’t get how they’re “gurus”
Lol same I was excited until I watched that Livestream.. I already pre ordered the game before it but they definitely didn't make me want to buy the game at all especially the girl who was sitting on the right
@@sixfeetundertheradar6080 they make the game. thats how theyre gurus
Simsie: I get to excited about these things
Me: so do I
Too*
11:11 OK but like in the game play trailer they said that they met each other because they shared a dorm.... And that they hated each other at first... What do you mean by *best friends since kindergarten* ??
Legit 🙄
Same thing I said
the dorm they shared was actually a kindergarten classroom. closet? cubby. beds? nap mats. desks? the lil coloring tables.
Yikes.
IKR
Kayla: There’s only one lot I despise, so out of 13? **thumbs up**
**2 seconds later**
Kayla: Well...mmmm **squints**
friarpark she reminded me of the kombucha girl on that part 😂
illustriousoul me too, that’s why I originally made the comment 😂 I wish we could post gifs on TH-cam
The university buildings from Britechester look exactly like the university buildings in TS3.
The house at 8:58 kind of gives me a renovated farmhouse feel.
SimGurus be like high-fivin in the office saying "YES! LilSimsie approved"
naits95 their like “FINALLY!!”
YESS we are finally good enough for kayak!
I love how all the simmers are posting different parts of the game 👏🏾👏🏾
Oh my god when she was talking about having 2 roommates. The standard for my school is 4 people to a room.
In the building I was in, the standard was two, but they had more incoming freshmen than expected. So I ended up in a room of three but it was the same closet size room as the doubles
Ray Schindler NO OH GOD I’M SO SORRY
Scarlet one of mine dropped out the second week and another is in the process of moving out
I’m so sorry
Oh God how do you manage that!! Where I live having a roommate at all is basically unheard of, it's single rooms for everybody.
After watching a lot of the sum up videos, I have to agree that the classes rabbit holes are not so bad. There's enough to do outside class as far as I can see. Look forward to new vids from you! Thank you!
“It’s my second least favourite lot in this world”
I’m dreading to see the least favourite after that monstrosity tbh
Honestly I just got very English vibes from it. I didn't think it was bad, in terms of looking like a real home. Just bad in a English countryside architecture kind of way lol.
So I read that at the same time she said it 😂
i've been wondering, when one of my actual sims finish university and the next generation is going to university, will it be empty, or will it be replaced, because sometimes when the time passes and actual residents dies, the lots aren't replaced with new sims, i'm concerned i'll have to fill all lots with sims by myself in the 'future'
The "box houses" reminded me a lot of Amsterdam's canals, they're even smaller and even taller boxes haha I love them though
Annjemrai oh yeah
In Amsterdam it had a reason though but it has character I guess
6:46 I instantly thought of you when I saw that house in the livestream. I saw the exterior and was like yiiiikes 😅
All dutchies are so excited for bicycles!! Like omg, I needed bikes so bad.
Only sad that they need to wear a helmet but okey, I can forget about that.
Annelot Wouda You Dutchies should be excited for the Britechester town totally totally styled off of Amsterdam. Helmets are a legal requirement here in Australia, so we’re happy about that!
Kayla: even the lots I'm pleased with
Also kayla: *Altho*
It reminds me of York. The bikes. The water. The two unis. One old and one new. Even the houses are in the style of York houses. I kind of love it.
Simmers: Omg uni doesn’t have open classes I refuse to buy meh meh meh
Kakleh: *get over yourself who cares*
Kakleh I'm screaming
😭😭
Fiacc2019 lol “Kakleh” that’s a first but i love it
Kakleh is truly wise beyond her years
Vivianna Hernandez I literally typed in random letters lmao
5 days until discover university officially comes out!!!!!
3 days now!
finally some positivity about this pack, im honestly tired of people just complaining to complain. so excited and can't wait to get my hands on this!!
Tbh this looks a lot better than sims 2 university
I love that you focused on the world builds, and James Turner focused on gameplay. Get the whole package between the two of you 💗
her impression of people complaining is how she normally sounds lol
Baby Cakes This comment is pretty funny
@@ND1V I love her content but this is kinda true
Oh this is extremely true, like how she said a lot of these lots could use her help, she’s not even close to the best sims builder , but she sounds so freaking conceded, like her builds are better than everyone’s
@@chloes7497 shut it wanker
The houses look like dutch buildings thats why they're so long
Those box houses remind me of my build style in ts2 haha! Also talking about ts2, Lilith a Angela pleasant are back!! Love it!!
Kayak: it's so cute!
Also Kayak: it still could use some help from me tho
Couldn't agree with you more about the dorms and the rabbit hole classes! I'm so excited to play :)
My college dorm had 3 roomies in it, I roomed with 2 sisters- a junior and a freshman. Also, NO STOVES in my dorm, love that they added this to the sims. We only had a common microwave and were allowed a hotpot for boiling water or soup. Other than that we had to go to the cafeteria.
When I went to college, there were 4 of us in a room with double bunk beds. It was a nightmare.
I totally love this I can’t wait. No one will ever be happy with what the sim team gives us unfortunately. I have always been happy and grateful for their hard work.
The world really looks like the Netherlands in the city Leiden
Noah Martin i study there haha
I live in Rotterdam
I went to college in Western New York State, and my first dorm building didn't have a kitchen, but my second building had a kitchen on the first floor. One of the buildings has kitchens, and we have apartments on campus as well.
I'm SO excited that they brought the Pleasants back! I used to play them all the time as a kid when I had Sims 2!
I just made my own version of the Pleasant twins in my game😂
Somehow I feel really at home with this buildstyle :) It gives me some old Dutch fibes, and I am from Holland. I know it's based more on the UK but I can see some real Dutch roofing around the area
I AGREE WITH YOU 100% WITH THE RABBIT HOLE LECTURES
i honestly don't get why people would want to go to a boring and repetitive lecture .
ryley dude, I don’t get it at all. I never played university in S3 because my computer gave up on the game long before that but I cannot see how going to classes was anything but tedious. On top of the gameplay being boring as all get out it would take a bajillion years to play through all those credits for even one sim. I’d much rather send my sim down a rabbit hole and stalk randos around the dorm while they’re away.
the britechester uni part of the world really reminds me of old English uni's like Oxford and cambridge,, it makes my little British heart so happy😭😭
I really like the tech school buildings and I feel like the "emptiness" of some of those buildings is actually realistic. Maybe it's just me but I can see that being in a real tech school and a group of engineer guys arguing over equations on a whiteboard (they actually do that) or people playing hacky sack (that game with the little beanbag you kick in a circle) and the extra space being a good thing so you don't get stuck waiting for someone to drop it. I did go to a tech school though and I like the clean white open space vibe.
The apple chest thingys were like boxes ya know because it is like an 'attic'
thank you kayla for having such a positive to this pack, all over twitter and the live stream was complaints having never been to uni i want that experience in the sims, i don't want to sit in class doing nothing for 2 hours! i'm so pleased with this review and looking forward to buying it now when it comes to console
So now I have 3.5 hours to finish my real life homework so that I can watch your stream and talk about University and fake sims homework... I AM SO EXCITED
I had a kitchen in my dorm (in the US), but no one used it much outside of making study food in the evening. I also had a mini fridge in my room. Microwaves and hot plates were not allowed in our rooms but the dorm kitchen had a stove and microwave if we needed it. Mostly we just went to the cafeteria for meals though.
My first thought was that those dorm rooms are HUGE😂 I love the no kitchens and roommates though! The campus buildings and world in the background look awesome!!
No one:
Kayla: *i fIXED EVERY WORLD IN THE SIMS 4.. again.*
Again, again, again....
I disagree with your statement on rabbit hole classes. yeah, sure, we don't want to watch out sim stare at a board, but we could have practical classes be playable in the style of get to work, with robotic, repairing stuff, for the engineering degree. debate class or the likes.
Exactly. There could've been interactive culinary, arts and drama classes, along with engineering and debate classes. I don't understand why some people think classes are only sitting and taking notes, when IRL there are tons of classes that have interactive activitues to do
Would you really be pleased? They would make those classes and then people would complain that they are too repetitive just like get to work. Plus it would be a bunch of time spent on something that isn’t essential, and other features would probably get removed. This pack is good the way it is. Stop complaining.

Look up terrace homes and their layouts! I think that’s what they were aiming for with the houses. I used to live in a 3 level terrace and our bedroom was an entire level, spare bedroom + sitting area was another level and then lower level was kitchen/living/dining. Hope that makes sense x
I had a triple (three roommates in one room) during one of my years. Fortunately we were all friends, so it was okay. Though those rooms are FAR larger than ours was.
Also, many of my dorms had a small kitchenette for all the floors to share (though in one, each floor had a room with a sink if I'm remembering). Not enough for a great meal, but enough to make cookies.
I look forward to your renovations of these far-less-than-stellar EA lots.
I really want sims 4 it sounds really amazing.
It always makes me excited when simsie is excited about the world 😁
I literally screamed when saw Pleasant twins, sims 2 forever in my heart❣️
I agree so hard with the rabbit hole thing. Classes are so much better as rabbit holes from a game design stand point as well as for players!
11:35 try having FOUR (4) roomates in ONE room. Did it for 3 years.

I feel like it should have just been an option though, to follow your sims to class, like Get to Work. Like for those who want to follow their sims to class can and for those who don’t want can just have the “send sims alone” option. Like some people are saying it would be boring to watch the sims in class, but so is just watching my sim disappear into a void and waiting for them to come back 🤷♀️. I just feel like having options would have been nice. And also graduation is a rabbit hole 😒.
I agree, honestly. Also, for people who play to tell a story it'd be cute to have 'scenes' set in class where maybe characters talk or send notes or get in trouble. It just doesn't feel like the full university experience to me without being able to see the inside of a classroom. I wish they had pulled focus on the school aspect rather than the somewhat random robotics side of the pack.
they did an UNNERVINGLY good job of recreating ts3's style main campus in 4's aesthetic. i'm shook. it might finally be time to go back to this game.
I am soooooo happy that you are not disappointed with this pack.
I get what other people r saying about the kitchen within the dorms because all the dorms I lived in had a kitchen. My freshman year there was a kitchen in the building oh and side note I lived with 2 others girls in a room “fun” (Kayla’s voice) my junior and senior year there was a kitchen in both suites I lived in. But for this pack it makes sense for there not to be a kitchen because like u said your sims can actually get out and have some fun, meet people and have a life.
Can’t wait to see what u do with the buildings.
Ayyyy I live like ten minutes from Northwestern, that’s so fun hearing you talk about it :)
me, watching this from my dorm that has a full kitchen for the floor: well this is awkward
kayla i remember when you had like 27k and i haven’t watched in so long wtf is going on

@@oliviatuck7283 490k people disagree with you. Including me 😉
Every time you speak about Illinois its cool cause I am also from a small town known as Barrington Illinois. I can totally agree with you about the relation to style of how the college looks like a few from Illinois.
Empty dorm rooms. I was once a cook at Amherst College and the custodial staff would put in bids to get to "clean" rooms in certain dorms, after the students left. When they did, you'd see them hauling out all sorts of "loot" when a student finished their last year. Most of it was simply left behind as they moved on, unneeded in their next places.
