Tips for Students & Attending School: The Sims 4 Discover University Gameplay Guide

Tips for Getting Started in Discover University, courtesy of EA Game Changers. May help you decide if you want to buy the expansion. I was given a chance to play Discover University a couple days before release. It's a big pack, so it's impossible to really cover everything in one video. However, these tips should help you get started and have a good experience with you Sim's application to University and pursuing their degree of choice.

I want to clarify something from toward the end of the video - I did use door locks of course and highly recommend them. My footage around talking about issues with noise/roommmates made people think that I should've done that one simple fix. But the issue for me was actually noise from outside my Sim's dorm room and nothing could be done about that. You can tell them to stop but not make it completely halt as they seem to have violins in their inventories. I'm not keen on dorms, but many others will be.

Any other play i have with this pack will be either in Britechester dorms (better location, less frustration and bike usage) or from a home lot. I felt a need to try dorms even though I wouldn't likely be a big fan - so it's just not for me. I think the roommates system is fine and a lot of people will love it. Take the Research and Debate skill and you might find new ways to order them around :)

When you care more about your sims’ education than yours

U have to admit the annoying noise, and hard free time is pretty realistic 🤷🏼‍♀️

At least roommates don’t shave and leave their hair in shower like mine did my first semester.

Time to tigermom a toddler until they're college-material. Just like in real life!

[HerHollyness]

A tip of my own: if it’s a ‘holiday’ like Winterfest on the day of your final exam (ie your last class), your Sim won’t go to their class on their own. You HAVE to click go to class or you miss the exam and ruin your GPA! Found this out to my detriment!

My sim literally went from skinny legend to having thighs larger than my ego after just one semester hahaha I can’t

[Nyalareyxx]

my first time playing, i enrolled my sim in 3 core classes, 1 elective, a early morning part time job as a barista, and a member of the ubrite spirit i thought everything was going to be

Imagine only having ONE of: a term paper, a final project, a final presentation.
I'm in my fourth year of university (5 courses), and this semester I have:
- 3 final exams
- 5 final projects
- 3 final presentations

I’d like to thank you for the subtitles, I don’t have great hearing, and being able to read what you’re saying is very helpful.

Another tip regarding going to class. If you live off campus, they’ll disappear right at class time and just go to the class rabbithole like they would for a job. It eliminates the need to try to walk to the classroom in time. I honestly wish it worked that way if you live on campus too because I was constantly late for class when I lived on campus just because of how long it took to walk from the dorm. 😂 Once I moved off-campus and let the game pull me automatically into a class rabbithole, I was never late again!

I really like this format; I wish we'd had that for every pack.

Your dorm mates bring home cooked meals to the dorm as well so you can find regular meals to eat for free, and not have to live off of microwave meals, especially if you don’t have the money.

Having just finished my first run through University I would strongly encourage maxing R&D before starting. You get through the work much faster. I also created a “Dorm Clean Crew” club and invited all my dorm mates. While it didn’t eliminate all of the nasty stuff, it did keep it down to more bearable levels. Also if you use rewards points from aspirations to get “never weary” and “forever full” rewards and that saves a ton of time.

The site pages look super useful, but that's to be expected from you, eh? ;) You're a gift to this playerbase as always

[AlexiDianeStricklandalexistric]

I would just like to say please continue to do your reviews. You give valuable information and since I've begun following your channel I've found that I'm more confident in my Sims4 purchases in regards to my gameplay. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your future reviews.

My roommates at foxbury were so passive aggressive. My actual roommate had a bladder problem and went everywhere and people were so passive aggressively mad about it. They left notes by her bed and I would lock her out. She eventually moved out mid semester. Sims university is so savage

[loverrlee]

Thank you for these tips!! I got straight As in college IRL... but flunked out of Sims University because none of this is explained up front! So I was just confused why I wasn’t doing well in any of my classes the whole time lol 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

This reminded me soo much of my college days that I ended up stressed. So I signed my Sim for 3 lessons and one elective, at same time he was working for gigs in the acting career since that's what he is pursuing plus trying to be famous through public appearances, social media management and forging friendships with celebrities. Each course has daily homework, +project presentation + thesis paper +final exam. There's also extra lessons if you wanna take them and once you wrote the paper you wanna re do it to get better quality. Same for the presentation + practice it. It's very difficult to manage everything imagine each homework takes like 2-3 hours.
