The Sims 3 University Life offers a thriving new world to explore that includes new venues, a campus quad, a lecture hall and new housing options such as dorms, fraternities, sororities and apartments. While at university, Sims will find three social groups that are classified as jocks, rebels and nerds. Sims can build influence with each of these social groups which leads to unique advantages such as earning dream jobs.
 
Building cred with these social groups is now easier than ever with the help of Sims’ new innovative smartphone that appears in their inventory and will guide and track their jock, rebel and nerd influence. Smartphones also build a Sims’ social networking skill. Sims can blog, take photos, text and video stream using their upgraded device and share their social experiences with other Sims.
 
Attending university also provides benefits for Sims post-graduation. Sims that successfully complete one of the six majors at university will get an additional trait slot, advanced entry level in their chosen careers and will perform better at work leading to more frequent promotions. However, university isn’t just about hitting the books and earning degrees — Sims can join a protest, attend parties, play juice pong, toss around a flying disc and so much more. As with anything, there’s a fine balance that comes with juggling classes and fun.
 
Players who order The Sims 3 University Life Expansion Pack on Origin will also get the exclusive School Spirit Pack with extra content including the Campus Cruiser vehicle, Head of the Class hairstyle and two new face paints to outfit your Sims in essential university style.
 
The Sims 3 University Life is rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB and is available tomorrow on PC/Mac at retailers in North America and on Origin.com. To learn more about The Sims 3 University Life, visit www.thesims.com/university-life.

University: Traits, Lifetime Wishes & Rewards

 

I have had a few requests from players to post the traits, lifetime wishes and rewards from University. Since I’m currently taking a break from guide writing, I thought it would be a nice Sunday gift for those who asked. Enjoy! 🙂
 
 
 
 

New Traits

 

Avant Garde – Avant Garde Sims know what’s art and what’s not, and don’t mind letting others know. It’s tough to please an Avant Garde type! Avant Garde Sims will benefit in the pursuit of a Fine Arts Degree from Sims University.

Irresistible – Irresistible Sims are quite charming, although often times they may get more than they asked for! Dates will be easy to find and others will flock to socialize with them, because they’re just so irresistible!

 

 

Socially Awkward – Socially awkward Sims try to fit in, but sometimes say the wrong thing and the wrong time. It’s not easy being socially awkward, but it sure is awkward!
