Sims 2: University Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the frat-sims-a-go-go dept.

Voodoo Extreme has the news that the first expansion for the Sims 2 has been announced. Sims 2: University will allow young adult sims to experience all the joys of college life. "Sims can choose from one of 11 majors and by keeping their grades on track, they'll secure a final degree and open up 4 new career paths. Players will enjoy all-new college based wants and fears that are tied to their Sims' social life and academic goals which will lead to new rewards and powers that will help them achieve their goals and aspirations in college and beyond." Ahh...but will there be LAN parties?

    But i suppose it gets round the 'go to work' problem that the sims had, students don't go to lectures.

    Instead you can goto the grant office, get cash then just go to the pub/bar and try and get laid while taking drugs.

    I wonder, can you become a chemist or grow weed to sell?

    My sim just graduated Harvard with a double major!

    I, on the other hand, just dropped out of community college. Just couldn't find the time to go to school in my busy life.

    90% of my college LAN parties involved trying to get a IPX and Windows 95 network started for Doom. These kids today have it easy.

      That's nothing. I would have killed to have it as easy as you. My college LAN parties went like this:

      Me: Hey, why don't one of you guys buy an Arcnet card so we can build a network.

      Buddy: No way man, that's like $300, which if I were to project it 20 years into the year 2004, would be like $3000. So what kind of games do you have anyway?

      Me: I've got this neat thing called Turbo C, so we can write our own games.

      Buddy: God damn you're lame. Turbo C won't come out for 3 years, and I hear you will need two floppy drives to run it.
      Let's get drunk instead.

    I'm going to make a George Castanza sim and take up marine biology and architecture. I'll fulfill his dreams.

    Then he'll get a job at Vandalay industries on the side.
