The Sims 3 University Life is full of new options for hanging out and making friends. However, in between all of the parties, socializing, and fun activities, your Sim might want to attend a class or two. Whether your Sim is an A student, or only attends class to nap, I’m going to tell you all about how to get the best academic experience for your Sim in The Sims 3 University Life.

Preparation for university can start before your Sim ever leaves home. Before enrolling in university, your Sim can take an aptitude test. Your Sim’s traits, skills, work experience, and even high school grades will affect their test score. Scoring well on the aptitude test can result in credits toward a degree and scholarships to help pay tuition costs!



Once your Sims says goodbye to hometown family and friends and gets settled into their new living environment at university, they may be finding themselves asking, “Now what?” Well, now it’s time to take them to class, of course! Classes start Monday morning, and the university creates a schedule for every Sim based on the class load selected during enrollment. Use the academic panel in the UI to check your Sims’ class schedules and keep an eye on their academic progress during the term. There are tons of ways to affect academic performance, and performance is what will dictate your Sim’s final grades at the end of the term. So how do studious Sims finish the term with flying colors? Let me tell you a few ways…

Mondays and Wednesdays are devoted to seminar-style classes. These classes are held in one of the academic rabbit-hole buildings on campus, and can vary from Introduction to Dodging Questions to Methods and Practice of Tragic Clowns. While in seminar classes, you can choose from a variety of tones to set behavior of your Sims; tones will affect the amount of academic benefit your Sim gains from a class. Is your Sim feeling ahead of the curve? They can take it easy and chat with friends. Or maybe your Sim needs to suck up to the professor for a little extra academic boost since they forgot to study. Truly sneaky Sims can always ask another poor sucker (I mean Sim) to attend class for them; all the benefits of actually working hard in class but without the pesky use of your Sim’s valuable time! Be careful though, professors don’t look kindly on getting someone else to do your work. If caught, there are consequences… 

Tuesdays and Thursdays your Sim will get out of the classroom for a more interactive academic experience. Grab your Sim an organic brew or energy drink from Roasted Toasted Beans Coffee Shop and head over to the Student Union for a lecture! This is a chance for your Sim to interact with the professor as they impart vital knowledge to eager minds. Ask questions, take notes, and soak up some academic goodness as the professor illustrates theories on the whiteboard! (Or sleep in your chair to make up for the wild party the night before). For Sims who want hands-on learning in a group environment, class activities give your Sim the chance to use academic objects to gain practical knowledge related to their major. Gather with your classmates around campus and break out everything from sketchbooks to skeletons to expand your Sim’s mind!



Sketchbooks and Skeletons?! Really? 
Yep! Each Sim is granted an object specific to their major when they enroll. These objects are great for class activities or a bit of extra studying on the side. For example, Communications majors can take their Frequency Fun Mobile Radio Station to the Quad to conduct interviews with other Sims and report on campus events, all while improving their academic performance! In fact, your Sim can learn so much from actions outside of class that skipping a class or two may be okay. (I’m sure your Sim has a good reason for skipping after all)… However, if it is getting close to exam time and you find that your Sim is in need of an academic boost to prepare for the test, don’t forget to study! Sims can study from textbooks, computers, and even their smart phones. While studying can certainly help, more deviously-minded Sims may want to just take the easy route and create a cheat sheet for the exam. Be careful not to get caught though!



Exams are held on Fridays and the final exam is when all of your Sim’s hard work throughout the term will pay off. Make sure your Sim is in a good mood for their exams and is well prepared – failing an exam can have major impact on your final grade.

Why should your Sim care about their grades? Let’s say your Sim has gone to university for a few terms and has earned enough credits to graduate – congratulations! Graduating has several benefits – the first of which is an extra trait slot for your Sim! Add a sixth trait to your Sim to reflect all the personal growth they have undergone during their time in university. Graduating and earning a degree from university will also provide career benefits to your Sim. For example, Sims with a degree in Technology will find better career opportunities in Law Enforcement and Military careers, start at a higher level, earn more pay, and gain an increase in bonus and promotion opportunities! Your Sim’s grades will directly affect the career benefits they receive; Sims who graduate with higher grades instantly get more bonuses.

In The Sims 3 University Life, Sims have access to tons of ways to learn and grow. Spend some time enjoying classes, objects, skills, lectures, class activities, studying and even cheating! Just don’t forget to take a break from all that academic enrichment to hang out with friends and let loose. After all, the reward is in the journey!

Happy Simming!

Det kommer komma en ny värld att köpa i Store! Världen heter Aurora Skies och själv tycker jag att den verkar väldigt fin.

Lite text och bilder på världen:

Explore the breathtaking scenery and vast, unspoiled nature that await you at Aurora Skies! This quaint, coastal town features the very best in outdoor living: grow your family on spacious land and houses surrounded by an eco-friendly community, traipse under majestic, towering waterfalls that come to rest on the banks of a large, steaming geothermal lake sky, or take a night hike under the dome of the bright, multi-colored sky. It’s the ultimate getaway for Sims searching for change, searching for themselves, or searching for a piece of peace. 

 

Ni har väl inte missat att The Sims 3 70s, 80s & 90s har kommit ut?

Och så en liten lång text och Universitetsliv.

Hi Simmers! 

Thanks again for joining us on January 8 for The Sims Live Broadcast where we officially announced The Sims 3 University Life! For those of you who missed it, you may watch the archived recording here . We're thrilled to see all your eager comments and excitement on the forums and we know you have lots of questions for this upcoming EP. Last week, I tackled SimGuruArgus to get him to answer as many of your questions posted in our thread as possible. He thought you all had some really great questions and he's posted the responses below. 

I hope you enjoy this Q&A!

 


Q: Can the college Sims get married & pregnant in college life? 
A: No marriage and no pregnancy. It’s kept pretty casual while Sims are at university. 


Q: How will joining a sorority or fraternity work? Will Sims have to go through a rush period? Also can we customize how long each semester is. 
A: Joining a sorority or fraternity is as easy as selecting it when you first move into the university world. There is no rush period since we wanted these to feel more inclusive than exclusive. There are some pretty great dares you can explore as well. Each time you attend university, you can customize the duration of your term to one or two weeks.


Q: Whilst in the University world, can we visit home? That and can Pets, Paparazzi and Aliens visit this sub-world like Sunset Valley or not like with WA destinations? 
A: Since the terms aren't too long, there is no way to visit back home. If you get really homesick, you can drop out, but doing so will sacrifice anything you have spent in paying for that term. Pets will not show up in university, however those pesky Paparazzi and abducting Aliens may pay you a visit while you’re attending.


Q: Will there be an option to add college buildings to your home world so your working Sims can take night classes or so Sims can attend college classes while still living at home? 
A: You can definitely add college buildings to your home world through edit town and they will function similarly to Base Game rabbit holes with a few new interactions, but no college classes. While Sims can prepare for university outside of school by building skills and taking the aptitude test, actual credits will not be committed until you finish a term at university.


Q: If you meet a Sim at college, can you bring them back to you home world with you when college is over? 
A: You can't immediately bring them back with your Sim when they go home from university since they have to unpack, but you can call them and have them visit your home world once your Sim has returned. 


Q: What if your Sim graduates before their friends do? Will there be an option to stay in touch and invite them for a visit like you can do with foreign friends in WA and then invite them to move in that way? 
A: If your Sim is a whiz in academics and ends up graduating before their friends, they can always keep in touch by calling their university friends. There is in fact an option to stay in touch with friends post-university and it works much like foreign friends in The Sims 3 World Adventures .

Q: Can you send your Sim's friends and neighbors to college even when you are not playing as them? 
A: The only Sims you are able to send off to university are Sims that are part of your active household.

Q: What is the shortest amount of time a Sim can stay at the university? Can you customize how long Sims can attend college? 
A: The shortest amount of time a Sim can stay at university is one Sim week and the longest amount of time is two Sim weeks. You are able to customize your stay by selecting one or two terms (one term = one Sim week, two terms = two Sims weeks).

Q: Can Sims get multiple degrees? Like, go and graduate, come home and then go again? 
A: Sims can most definitely earn multiple degrees. All of you completionists out there can go nuts!

Q: If I send a married Sim can she invite her spouse to visit her and also can he invite her to visit? 
A: No, your Sim's spouse will not be able to visit your Sim while they are at university, but you can always spend a little time in-between terms catching up with loved ones or you may speak to them on your smart phone while away at university. 

Q: Are there Secret Societies in the University EP? 
A: There are no secret societies in university, but you can apprentice under the almighty mascot.

Q: Can you get kicked out if you misbehave or don't keep up your grades? 
A: Your Sim can get kicked out of class for cheating, but your Sim will never be suspended or expelled from university.

Q: I'm wondering if Sims will get additional wish slots when they graduate like they did in The Sims 2 University? Will there be new lifetime wishes or rewards? 
A: We do have new lifetime wishes and rewards in The Sims 3 University Life, but we did things a little bit differently than in The Sims 2 University. Instead of getting an additional wish slot for graduating, Sims are granted an additional trait slot as well as other benefits.

Q: Are there spring breaks? 
A: Technically, there can be a spring break, but this all depends if you have The Sims 3 Seasons installed and when your term ends.

Inte många dagar kvar innan det kommer ut nu!

‘Sup, Simmers? SimGuruSarah here to tell you about the slamminist decade featured in The Sims 70s, 80s, & 90s Stuff Pack – that’s right, it’s time to go back to the 1990s!

Video games, hip hop music and talk shows were all the rage in the 90s. But grunge was really where it was at. Although grunge music was first introduced in the 80s, it became commercially successful in the 90s and sparked a new wave of generational lifestyle. Inspired by this, The Sims Studio wanted to focus the 90s portion of this stuff pack on the unkempt and industrial look of the grunge 90s in both clothing and home décor. 

Here are some of our new items.

We have a new living chair, “Designer Distress Easy Chair,” with a matching steel “IndustroShelf” bookshelf and a “Create-a-Table” end table. 

 
There is even a new industrial-themed potted plant to decorate your home with!  

The grunge scene is well represented with ripped jeans and baggy t-shirts for both male and female Sims.



Fashion in the 90s was all about tying sweaters around your waist (and jackets…and sweatshirts…hey, at least it’s better than the fanny pack from the 80s, right?), layered t-shirts, and, of course, parachute pants! Okay, maybe only “celebrities” wore parachute pants but guess what? Now your Sims can too!



Whether you want to tell the tale of the penniless aspiring musician, an up and coming party rockin’ hip-hop star, or dedicated groupie, the 90s offers your Sims many new stories to tell!



Thanks for reading and be sure to join me today at 10:00 AM PST as I’ll be taking over The Sims 3 Twitter account to answer all your questions about The Sims 3 70s, 80s, & 90s Stuff.

Talk soon!

Älska det, hata det, önska dig det, undvik det, men alla har det – ett umgängesliv, vill säga. Även om betyg är viktiga så handlar The Sims 3 Universitetsliv om mer än sånt som man kan lära sig i klassrummet! Det handlar om dina simmars liv utanför klassrummet. Din sim kan ägna sig åt sina drömmars sociala umgänge – från att bli den populäraste simmen på campus till att vara den nördiga bokmalen som bor på biblioteket. Oavsett om dina simmar är lite socialt tafatta eller helt oemotståndliga så kan de få en kul och minnesvärd universitetsupplevelse!



I The Sims 3 Universitetsliv presenterar vi tre nya sociala grupper: sportfånarna, rebellerna och nördarna. Dina simmar kan få inflytande hos så många av de här grupperna de vill – de är inte begränsade till att bara bli vän med en! När dina simmar klättrar på den sociala stegen hos de olika grupperna låser de upp belöningar som gör det värt allt arbete.
Men hur är de olika sociala grupperna? Det ska jag berätta…
Sportfånar är simmar som spelar för att vinna, oavsett om det gäller en popularitetstävling eller en match vid Pling plong-bordet. Inte konstigt att sportfånar brukar hänga nere på B:s Bowlorama där de kan jobba på sin strike och att inte slå en ränna när den där söta simmen kollar in dem. Det kommer knappast som en överraskning att sportfånar ordnar de bästa festerna på campus.

Det kommer knappast som en överraskning att sportfånar ordnar de bästa festerna på campus.

Sist men inte minst har vi nördarna. Nördar älskar att spela TV-spel, forska, vinna frågesporter och är inte rädda för att kritisera andra simmar för deras okunskap. Stoffes Serier är det idealiska stället för en nörd. Där finns alla hobbyer som nördar gillar, datorer, arkadspel och serietidningar så klart!



Det är lätt att hålla koll på det sociala inflytandet som dina simmar skaffar sig! Med några klick på deras smartphone får de veta allt. Tryck bara på "Kolla sociala grupper" för att se den aktuella statusen. Men det är inte det enda häftiga en smartphone kan göra. Din sim kanske känner sig djärv och flörtig, och då kan ett hemlig beundrar-sms fånga den där speciella simmens uppmärksamhet. Om en annan sim har behandlat dig illa kanske du i stället vill säga vad du tycker om personen i fråga, så skicka ett förolämpande sms. Om din sim är sugen på att slå sig fri och bli singel kan han eller hon skicka ett dumpnings-sms till sin partner. Om din sim är mer visuell kanske han eller hon uppskattar det nya sättet att ta foton. Nu kan dina simmar ta självporträtt med en annan sim och till och med smyga in ett foto på en romantisk kyss. Det är bara några exempel på vad din nya smartphone kan göra!

Det finns även en enorm variant av sociala aktiviteter och interaktioner utanför de sociala grupperna som din sim kan delta i. Vad vore till exempel ett universitet utan fester!? För att krydda det hela har vi lagt till två nya festtyper: juicefatspartyn och bålpartyn. Fester är ett jättebra sätt att träffa nya simmar och om det finns en sim som du vill lära känna lite bättre är det bara att ge den simmen en kyss i stundens hetta. Det finns gott om andra nya kyssinteraktioner, som en tankad kyss och en kanelkyss. Nu har vi bara skrapat på ytan av de nya romantiska alternativ som finns i The Sims 3 Universitetsliv.



Om din sim inte gillar att festa finns det ändå gott om andra aktiviteter att hitta på. Dina simmar har en helt ny värld att utforska och de kan syssla med allt från universitetssporter till nakenposering för konstskolan eller arbeta som medicinsk försöksperson och anordna demonstrationer! Det finns även nya fantastiska sociala saker att göra, som också bygger upp färdigheter. Med det nya skissblocket kan du be andra simmar att posera för dig (kanske till och med nakna)! Dessutom finns det mycket, mycket mer! Men vi låter dig utforska resten på egen hand!

I The Sims 3 Universitetsliv kan varje sim bygga upp ett unikt socialt umgänge som passar simmens behov. Men låt dig inte bländas så av din sims sociala umgänge att du glömmer att skicka simmen till lektionerna. Visst kan man få ett drömjobb helt och hållet baserat på sina sociala meriter, men bra betyg har också sina fördelar!

Lycka till med att hitta balansen!

Jag kan nu säga att jag beställt en dator! :D Det skulle ta fem vardagar att göra den, men hur lång tid det tar för den att komma vet jag inte. Men räknar nog med att jag kommer få den om 1-2 veckor :)

Och nu en liten text (på negelska dock) om Universitetsliv.

Hi Everyone!

SimGuruKarsky here! The Sims Studio is thrilled to announce today that The Sims 3 University Life is in development and will launch on March 5^th of this year. I want to take this time to tell you a little bit about some of the cool new features that will be available in this expansion. Please note that this is the first blog of many. In the coming weeks, we’ll be deep diving on many of the features highlighted below, as well as revealing some all new ones. For now, here’s an overview of what’s to come in The Sims 3 University Life.

Now, I don’t know about you,but university was a pretty awesome time in my life—if you haven’t gone yet, I bet it will be for you too! I certainly gained a great deal of knowledge from studying about things related to my major, but I also learned that there is a lot more to the university experience than just textbooks and classrooms. When we started brainstorming the game play for The Sims 3 University Life, we wanted to make sure that we got all of that into the game. Not just the academics, which are of course important, but the socializing, the partying, and the day-to-day experiences of being away from home. All of this even played into picking the name. We included “Life” in the name to evoke the bigger picture of the quintessential university years, from dating and partying, to group study sessions and class activities.

Making the Grade

When you think university,one of the top things in your mind is academics. I mean, it’s the “real” reason you go to university, right? So we wanted to make sure we made this part of the game as robust as it is in real life. That meant we wanted a richer experience than just “doing time” to earn a passing grade. So, we created different objects Sims can use and activities they can do to improve their grades. For example,Science and Medical students have a skeleton they can work on, Communications majors can broadcast their own radio show, and other majors all have their own unique objects that impact Sims’ success. And, of course, university wouldn’t be complete without study groups and lectures, so we’ve got those in the game too!

It’s Who You Know

In The Sims 3 University Life there are different social groups on campus: the nerds, the rebels and the jocks. Hanging out and gaining cred with these three groups offers unique advantages to your Sims, from earning dream jobs to even gaining an extra trait! And just like real life, your Sim can choose to spend time with only one or all three of the social groups. Your Sim might be a Fine Arts major with a techie streak, so your Sim could spend time with both the nerds and the rebels to build the right kind of relationships and story. If your Sim gains enough influence with the nerds, they might even unlock one of the brand new social group careers, such as becoming a video game developer (my favorite new career).

Are You Ready to Party?

Hanging out with friends, going to parties, dating–all of these are also huge parts of the typical university experience. I studied at a school where each year there was an awesome bonfire party held by a group of students. Being so fond of this memory, I really wanted us to include bonfires in the game.  A couple of other guys on the team remembered playing games with ping pong balls at parties and so we included “juice pong” for your Sims to play! We wanted to make sure we included a lot of the iconic party situations from university and I think we got ‘em. We even created a special Party Pack that you will receive when you pre-order the Limited Edition version of the game. The Party Pack features the Partaeus Maximus statue and will give Sims the ability to throw the themed costume bash of their lives! The pack comes with brand new togas, laurel leaves and masquerade masks for those classic college parties. Partaeus Maximus will not only let you choose between toga, masquerade, formal, sleepwear, and swimwear parties, but will also boost the moods of all of your party guests.

Well, thanks for reading upon The Sims 3 University Life today! This is just a quick introduction to some of the fun content that you can expect in this expansion. Stay tuned as we’ll be featuring more details on the game in the coming weeks. Be sure to tune in for our next Live Broadcast taking place on February 14^th at 10:00 AM PST.

The Sims 3 University Life launches on March 5^th and we cannot wait to get this pack in your hands. Until then, watch this space for additional updates.
