||
| − | ''University Life''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> theme is [[college]], similar to ''[[University]]'' in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', thus it gives the Sims a "college experience" while at university. It has brought some returning features from ''The Sims 2'''s expansion packs, as well as introduced new features for ''[[The Sims 3]]''. The pack is ''[[The Sims 3: Seasons|Seasons]]''-compatible. |

| − | ==Description== |
||
| − | [[File:The Sims 3 University Life Logo.png|left|75px]]''Are your Sims ready for the time of their lives? Heading off to university opens up new opportunities, from social connections to career growth. From class activities to major-specific objects, your Sim will find new ways to learn! And university isn’t just about hitting the books. Join a protest, flirt at a bonfire party—there’s a lot to learn outside of lectures at the student union. With new locations like the bowling alley and SimBurger to explore, and new activities like juice pong and spray painting murals to enjoy, your Sims are sure to have the time of their lives!'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Features== |
||
| − | *'''Help your Sims make the grade''': Your Sim can broadcast their own radio show as a Communications major or bone up on anatomy with a skeleton for the Science and Medicine major. New major-specific objects, social activities and student union lectures make learning more fun than ever. |
||
| − | *'''Let loose and party''': Host a bonfire by the lake or do a juice keg stand at a dorm party. There are lots of ways to have a great time at university. |
||
| − | *'''Make connections and network''': Text, blog and stream video to build that all-important social network. Join one of the three groups on campus—the nerds, the rebels, and the jocks, then develop your cred with special activities. Become a legend in your group and you could earn a dream job or a coveted extra trait. |
||
| − | *'''Reap the benefits of higher education''': University graduate Sims can move up the career ladder more easily with faster promotions and higher entry-level job. |
||
| − | *'''Explore the Campus and Town''': Strike out at the bowling alley, flirt with the barista at the Roasted Toasted Beans or browse comic books at Keith’s Komics. There’s a whole new town and campus full of places to explore.<span style="line-height:21px;"> </span> |
