The Sims 4: Discover University is the eighth expansion pack for The Sims 4. The pack was teased on October 21, 2019[1], its trailer and official announcement debuted on October 22, 2019 and was released on November 15, 2019 on PC. It is scheduled to be released on December 17, 2019 for console.[2][3]

The pack re-introduces the college experience to the game, along with the return of the Servo life state. Its new world of Britechester is home to two rival campuses: University of Britechester and Foxbury Institute. Additional features include roommates, the law, education and engineering careers, toilet stalls and bicycles. It is a spiritual successor to The Sims 2: University and The Sims 3: University Life, with minor elements from The Sims 2: Open for Business, The Sims 2: Apartment Life, The Sims 3: Ambitions and The Sims 3: Into the Future.

Official description

Explore all the experiences college has to offer. Take classes that set your Sims up for success in engineering, education or law careers. Discover robotics and ping-pong, or make some mischief pulling pranks against the rival school. Study hard, sleep in and high-five the school mascot – just make sure to keep those grades up!

KEY FEATURES

Settle into School. Begin a new chapter for your Sim at the historical University of Britechester or the modern Foxbury Institute. Live in a dorm room or off-campus, explore Britechester on a bicycle, spend time in the student commons and have a study session at the library. Cheer on the student body at a school spirit event, and wear school colors to show your Sim’s pride.

Stay Classy. Enroll in a University and choose classes that pique your interest: biology, computer science, art history or even villainy. Attend a lecture or work on term papers and presentations – the more your Sim learns, the more successful they’ll be. Going to classes or blowing them off will affect your Sim’s grades, so time management is a must.

Meet, Mingle and Explore. How your Sim embraces college life is up to you. Study all night to finish homework or chill out and sleep in. With activities like juice pong, juggling a soccer ball and hanging out with roommates, taking a break has never been so fun! Join school organizations like robotics, debate, art or even a mysterious secret society. As the year progresses, Sims become their best selves and discover who they’re meant to be.

Express Your Campus Style. Make your Sim’s space cozy with dorm room décor that reflects their personality. Develop their style in any way you choose – whether wearing late-for-class sweatpants or their best-self outfits, there’s always a way to show school spirit or impress a classmate.
