The Expansions used to be game changing, they used to alter the worlds your sims lived in forever. Real Universities are more exciting than this expansion pack and I loathe my university. The libraries are just normal libraries with computers dedicated to research work as well as regular computers.įor an expansion that boasted "decorating dorms to suit your sims personalities" and preparing your sims for a better life or better job, they sure have given us the bare minimum of an Expansion for £40. You're provided with a beer pong table, a bar and some of the most unimaginative building layouts in the history of The Sims. Theres a couple of student bars, on the older campus the bar is a really big punch in the face from Origin and EA to players who have been in it for the long run. You're given insane amounts of homework for your modules that you cant even complete 1/2 of in a day. You can go to class but it's the same as careers, you just wait for the sim to come back as you stare at the outer walls of a building. There isn't much point to them because you still need to travel to lots via load screen, but you can cycle around campus for a bit if you feel like it.
So what DO you get with Sims 4 University? Well they brought bicycles back. You place these items in Live Mode, so make sure you're facing the right way when you place them because there's again, no way of going into build mode without cheats that didn't work when i tried. Cacti and plant pots to put on your desk. Some bland posters, university flags and boring rugs. A microwave, where you gonna put it? Dunno there's no kitchen. A small fridge which you can only have quick meals from because there's no kitchen. What can you add in the dorm? Well if you go to the little stall outside of your dorm building, you can buy some university stuff, which includes: Despite being provided with a poor single bed, a desk and a shared room with another sim, NO KITCHEN and a poorly designed bathroom, you cant enter build mode to edit that building unless you enter cheats which we all know can make your computers or games freak out and crash. no sorry you're not allowed to enter build mode in dorms. Oh boy! The bit everyone loves, creating your own space, a place your young sim can express themselves and decorate to match their cool university aesthetic. I applied for university that I got rejected for because of course a new Young Adult sim doesn't have high enough skills on their first day of existence to match up to the weirdly realistic standards of the Sims 4 universities, of which you are given the option of two for seemingly no reason? So you apply for a scholarship, get in, move into your new dorm. I could only stand playing this new expansion for a couple of hours. No sir, you fell into the trap, deal with the lack of money and gameplay on your own. In Sims 4 University, you get close to nothing for the near £40 you spend on it, and don't expect a refund from EA. You got to attend lectures, do projects based on your chosen course and enjoy a pretty exciting campus, with bowling alleys and food places on campus.
#Why are sims 4 expansions so expensive full
I used to religiously play Sims 3 University because you literally moved away to become a full time student. The final straw for me is the newest University Expansion for Sims 4. But with a closer look at these Sims 4 Expansions, a good knowledge of the expanse of stuff that we got with Sims 3, the Expansions aren't giving us what we are paying for anymore. It might seem like they do because the base game is so bland that any addition becomes exciting to begin with. Even though the base game is boring, the expansions don't amplify that base game much at all.
You can't travel the map in vehicles, your Careers are pretty plain and after hours of gameplay you're bored of sitting and watching your sims develop their skills. The Sims 4 base game is basically already a stripped down, cartoony version of Sims 3. Now it seems like you pay almost the amount of the base game every time you purchase an Expansion and you're left wishing there was more to it. The Sims 3 Expansions gave you a lot of stuff, loads of different interactions with people, objects, careers etc. It seems increasingly more obvious how little effort is going into the new Sims 4 and the accompanying Expansions.
