Building in The Sims 3 University Life. Along with all of the amazing gameplay and new objects, The Sims 3 University Life adds several new options for builders to use, mainly in the form of new lot types. These new lot types allow for a huge range of buildings, from dorms to hangouts. Here’s a brief run-down on all of the new tools for you amazing builders out there!
Let’s start with dorms, sorority and fraternity houses. In The Sims 3 University Life world, players can build their own dorms. The sky is the limit as you make a place for your Sims to call home during their stay at university. With the new roommate functionality, Sims will automatically occupy dorms to act as roommates for your household (or you can make and move your own roommates into your dorm via edit town). A dorm can hold up to eight Sims, including your household.
Sororities and fraternities act very similarly to dorms and follow most of the same rules. The big difference for these lots is that they are not co-ed – sororities will automatically search for female roommates and fraternities for male roommates. These lot types also have a little bit more of a party atmosphere than regular dorms – juice keggers and dares will happen here more frequently. By the way, dorms, sororities and fraternities are free for Sims to live in while at university!

University is right around the corner simmers! 
I have just finished updating the fact sheet with information from the latest fansite/developer previews. This will be the final update I make to the fact sheet, as I have begun progress on the University Game Guide.
Our University Guide is once again the most anticipated guide, because as most of you know, there will not be a printed (or downloadable) Prima Guide. The Prima Guide will only be available as an “online only” $19.99 eGuide, which cannot even be printed, and requires constant internet access.
As a reminder, the SimsVIP University Guide will be free and available in PDF form for you to view on a tablet/smartphone, download & print. I have also scheduled some time off work to begin the guide immediately upon release with no interruption.
With that said, check out the University fact sheet to hold you over until your game arrives!
