It seems once you’ve gone through all the majors, game play become repetitive. Also the fact that you have to load into another world, similar to WA, is another no- no for me. The bugs associated with that are just too annoying to deal with…

I love University–it’s one of the first really adult expansions in a game that seems excessively geared toward younger players. They didn’t even *pretend* that this stuff was for child or teen Sims. I found that rather refreshing. I think it’s neat that she’s a woman of color too. Minority voices just don’t get heard as much in the gaming world. (And I miss my Atari too.)

But really, to say that anything negative said about the Sims indicates a “lack of bias”? Is there any evidence that EA leans on reviewers or forces them to write positive things? I’m asking in sincere curiosity, because to my knowledge that isn’t how reviewing works. I’ve done reviews for money many times in the dead-tree world and nobody’s ever, EVER told me or even hinted to me that a positive review was required from me. I even asked one of my editors once about it because I’d done a string of “2 star” reviews and he said no, I was doing awesome, and made it clear that I should write the review as I perceived the book in question.

Not necessarily over complicate it but add mechanics or ideas in that they never realize properly and it ends up either a buggy mess or a hassle.

I was disappointed at how easy it all is . How easily you fly up the group ratings . How simple it is to make a load of money while at Uni . How limited the parties are . How quickly it is to be bored with seeing non stop streaking at parties . How limited the juice keg interactions are .
How badly designed and thought out the buildings are leading to sims getting jammed in doorways and routing all over just to go to the nearest building . How ridiculous it is that only one sim at a time can enter graduation .
How stupid it looks having the classes out door in a snow or rain storm .

Like all the other ep’s it had so much potential but once again EA failed to fill out the different aspects of it
