♦ Sims 2 vs Sims 3 vs Sims 4 : University (Part 1)

Hello! This is a very brief comparison of university in The Sims 2 University, The Sims 3 University Life and The Sims 4 Discover University.
I'm not going as deep as I usually do in this one, this is part 1 of maybe 2 or 3 depending on how part 2 turns out.
In this comparison I'll be talking about the basic aspects like applying for college (I use that word a lot in the video cause "university" is way longer) living on campus, classes and finals. Just the basic stuff. University was firstly introduced in Sims 2 and it's been making comebacks in every game since then ,so it has got to be a fan favorite.
What do you think about University? Did it fulfill your expectations?
My Opinion?
Sims 2 set the rules from the start, all the games follow its basic gameplay so I gotta give it props for that, I loved the cutscenes and how the dorms were set, the majors had a good variety and I liked how you weren't limited to traveling around your neighborhood. Overall, it holds up, but it gets too repetitive with the same 4 actions being repeated over and over until you graduate. Sims 2 is not unique in this but it's the one where I noticed it the most. Or maybe it's my fault for not trying partying? Yep, that's probably it, anyways, this part is about school alone so it's kinda fair.
Sims 3 has hits and misses, it gave some solid new skills, it improved upon classes they way no other game has (but the others aren't impressive per say) the world is huuuge and beautiful, it improved a lot on University, but at the same time, they limited the traveling and cut the degrees very short in variety.
Sims 4 is a bit like Sims 3, more hits and less misses, it improved the degrees, we have good variety and interesting skills to go with them, I like how there are 2 schools, I prefer the way you choose your classes in here, how sims actually learn skills while doing homework, I loved that you can live there even without studying, I like many aspects of it and it would've been nothing but improvements if it hadn't been for the classes and the dorms, not being able to edit them seems like a weird choice and I just hate sims teleporing into buildings, but that's just my preference. As for the classes, they reverted to rabbitholes so that feels like a step backwards.
Overall I don't have a winner here, they all did a good and bad job at certain aspects, I would say Sims 4 is the closest but the classes really pull me back, I thought it was about time that they came up with something cool like a mini active career for classes, but nope. But maybe it would've been too much? I don't know, that's just my opinion.
What's yours? Let me know and hopefully I see you soon for part 2, I plan to do parties, failing class, sororities etc, for part 2 but let's see what else I can fit in there.

I was kind of disappointed with the Sims 4 University pack, it kind of lacks a lot of things that I thought were super cool in the Sims 3 one, like the few classes that were held outside and you could actually see what your sims was doing. But one thing that really got me were the dorms, I mean, in Sims 3 the sororities had the kitchen, living area, and even a small "gym"! In Sims 4 it's just bedrooms and a small living room (minus the ones that look like houses, I play in portuguese so idk what they're called in English), and if you don't have money to get a mini fridge, you have to go to the university "cafeteria" to get food, but it's just so unmotivating because than you have to sit through the loading screen.

Thanks to mods, you can vacation in the University in Sims 3 with Nraas traveler, and set up a community college lot in ANY world with the community college mod.

[@silyknow]

I love the campus of the sims 3 university, the coffee shop, the bowling alley, the actually open buildings, it’s such an immersive world and I love it My only issue is that you can’t live on the world outside of uni, I found that disappointing as someone who grew up in a university town

[@livh3211]

YES!!! I’ve been waiting for this video for my whole life!!❤️

when i moved Alexander goth into his dorm, instead of his parents or whole family or atleast one parent accompanying him, Bella Goth's soul reunited with her decaying body, and then straight up located where alex was, and then went with him in the cab, and accompanied him to his dorm.

One thing I really liked about TS2 is how "Expressive" everything is. TS3 toned it down a bit, but was still good. If only there were mods that added all TS2 animations/behaviors into TS3. Another thing I really liked about TS2 is it gave you freedom to build the map exactly as you see fit, almost like SimCity.

[@evehellod9776]

I like how the Sims 4 wanted to have less rabbit holes yet the Sims 3 has less because you can actually see them attending lectures and their lessons outside It’s also watered down, but so are all the other expansions in that game compared to the Sims 2 and 3’s expansions so I guess it’s nothing new

[@MattiK2609]

I've never played Sims 3 so I don't know if it was a thing there, but what I miss the most in Sims 4 is having the opportunity to start a band like in Sims 2. I sooooo loved that feature. Whenever my sims were done studying for the day, I would always let them make music

[@5begus]

You can start a band in the Sims 3 with Late Night EP 😊

for me the university in sims 4 is so nervous like i’m going there by myself... idk it feels kinda hard in comparison with other games

[@mat.992]

YEAAAAH! I was excited for your video to come out.

[@borreall]

I played all of them. From sims 2 to sims 4. Probably a lot of you will hate me for my opinion but like cmon is my opinion and you don t have to have the same opinion as mine and everyone is free to think whatever they can because they have the freewill to think. Ok now back to the games: The first University EP that I ever played was with Sims 2 and I loved the fact that you had these 3 neighbourhoods (tho I always chose Académie Le Tour idk why I just loved the French name 😂😂) and I love how you could claim doors and just edit freely ❤️❤️ Tho a thing that annoied me is that whenever I had two or more sims to the family and like if they were in the same year(for exemple Freshman) and was like the final exam for the second semester, just one of them would make it through and I would get angry that the other couldn t make it even if it had the specific skills and all of the academic skills good... And I always had to use cheats 😂😂 Overall, it was a great game, I made a lot of weddings in the dorms too because cmon, who doesn t want a wedding in the middle of your sophomore or junior year in collage? Or at your graduation party? 😩 Sims 3 University was kinda boring to me and annoying at the same time because it was kinda glitching and freezing? Don t get me wrong,I loved how they brought the sharing a room because it feels more realistic tbh i didn't play at Uni in sims 3 for a long time tho because how I said, it was either glitching, freezing or crashing. I tried to get the settings to low but nothing. It just freeze. That s kinda disappointing tho. The class where you could see inside and wasn t a rabbit hole was kinda boring too and probably that s why I kinda dropped playin in uni in Sims 3. It was also disappointing that there are less degrees than in sims 2 :( Sims 4 Discover University kinda brought me that feeling from the Sims 2. Even tho you had just one neighbourhood like in Sims 3,I liked how they put 2 different universities in one world . I also like the amount of degrees we can have(they are more than in sims 2 tho and I kinda like a lot of degrees).the downside part is that normally, you can t edit the dorms :( so you have to use cheats... Another downside is that you kinda don t have time to do the homeworks for classes if you have 3 or 4 classes and the presentations, only in weekends and that's kinda sad because I want my sims to be very smart 😂😂 I love how you can have pets and babies now in uni if you live in your own house and not in the dorms or the houses that are universitie's. In general I like the gameplay of the Sims 4 Discover University, I also like that now you can swim in the lakes from around the campuses, and the good part is that they implanted this into the game so you don't have to own Island Living 😍 Also the tutition and students loans... Are the best 😂😂 Conclusion: I don't want to make hate for neither Sims 2,Sims 3 or Sims 4.All of them are great games, even if a lot of people say that Sims 4 has lack of realism in special at babies and there aren t color wheels and open worlds and activites and such. I understand you, but all of them have something that the other hasn't. I don t have a personal top of what University was better because they were ALL better in their own ways. Can't we just accept that every game is different? Again, that was just my opinion and you don t have to be in acceptance with mine Have a nice day/night! ❤️❤️

[@DREAMINDIGO]

After all those years i still play TS2. And going to university is the most fun part for me. I get to play my young adult siblings together. Studying but also going out and having fun. Dates. Etc.

[@simsworld249]

Kookie Kusu you’re right

[@ineedgoldenretriever]

Sims 3 university was the best, it had that unique vibe I remember being a student myself. It was my fav pack in sims 3, felt so much alive. So I waited so much to see what EA will do to sims 4… to find out it’s boring as hell… campus is always empty, nobody around, no cool events or details. Just lack of life as always.

[@bibbitybooper6437]

Fyi in Sims 2 if your SIM hits it off with their professor and ends up dating them, they get better grades. Each interactions counts as tutoring regardless of what it is.

Getting ur skills up in a certain major before the aptitude test really helps, if you click on the major it'll tell you what skills n traits will help. You can improve the skills n then test again, then you can get more of credits towards a degree (48) in Sims 3,i got 18 on one and so didn't have to do but 1 semester of college

[@lauramsummers2538]

TS2! The in-house chef and cafeteria in the dorms was amazing: it was these types of unexpected features that were helpful, optional, and just downright well-considered that I missed in TS4 so much. Practical, and fun!

[@svogel6459]

I was really worried about how I was going to get food in TS4 bc of the mini fridge situation but somehow someone is always leaving heaping plates of food around my dorm so that my sims never have to cook or go out to eat... I'm not complaining though lol

[@TheRedPlumbob]

I thought there was a spell caster around, because turkey kept appearing in my dorm when there's no oven in the lot lol seems like it's something that happens often then

[@svogel6459]

@@TheRedPlumbob djfjd if it was possible to install surveillance cameras in the dorms I would have done it. Instead I kept an eye on the coffee table on which the food appeared most of the time. Turns out there were 2-3 Sims that always came in from the front door with food, put it down in my dorm and then left again after some time. I heard some people say they're culinary students lol Now if I could figure out where all the trash piles are coming from...

[@andrewkeshan8649]

Sims 3 university was a complete experience. There was so much to do and the story progression mod made it so much more interesting. Sims 2 had some cute cutscnes but not watching our class activities was a huge bummer.

[@doncarlin9081]

I really loved the Greek houses in the Sims 2. Indeed I thought how the implemented University in Sims 2 was the best. My only gripe was only teens can enroll in college.

[@docette2015]

I like Sims 4 for the variety of degrees on offer and the addition of stuff like presentations, and having a college town that also functions like a regular world anyone can visit. Sims 3 having the occasional active class is something I can get behind (I don't want EVERY class to be active, but occasionally sitting in on a lecture? Yeah, I'm cool with that), and of course Sims 2 had the goofiest mascots and the great cutscenes. :) Ah, memories. . .

[@TheRedPlumbob]

I love how many random events happen in the sims 3 university it makes the game so fun such random campus events or getting invited to parties

[@LisaFrisstDich]

I think Sims 2 will always be my favorite just because of nostalgia. I bought Sims 3 when University came out because it had also been my first pack for the Sims 2 and at first I wasn’t disappointed but it got boring reeeeal quick. I loved the look of the buildings and the interactive classes but I felt like there wasn’t much to do so I just didn’t play as much, which really wasn’t the case for the Sims 2. Most of my Sims went to college there because I had fun playing. To be honest, I can’t even give my finalized opinion for the Sims 4 University because this shit is so complex that I have not even discovered half of it and I’ve played everyday so far. I love how they did the degrees, even though I would’ve changed minor things (but mods are already out there) and I am actually glad that classes aren’t interactive because University in Sims 4 is actually challenging and my Sim is constantly struggling with needs so I feel like I get a little rest while he is in class lol. Overall I feel like Sims 4 finally stepped up. This is the first solid expansion since Seasons and I love it so far! So much to explore and try out.

[@awesomeismyname1313]

I feel like the down time you have in the sims 2 uni was earned, it you felt accomplished when you graduated

[@liquidmodernitytasteslikeu2855]

You're kidding me, The Sims 4 has nothing, it's a joke ... there are so many huge problems, so much wasted potential, The Sims is dead and EA needs to die. If I were in a position of power in the development of "the sims" series I would fire so many people because the current situation of the game it's absolutely disgusting and unacceptable ... sims 4 is the disgrace of the series and the future of the franchise as a whole is deeply in trouble. I say this as a HUGE sims fan, i played every sims so fucking much, and seeing sims 4 makes me sad, but seeing ppl like you defend this shitty bugged lazy cash-grabbing piece of software makes me so fucking angry.
