If you have toiled and suffered to
raise your Sim, it is only right that you wish for it to receive the best possible
education, hopefully avoiding the horrible Sims Gone Wild fad.
Electronic Arts
announced that EA's Maxis Studio is developing The Sims 2 University, the first expansion
pack for the highly-acclaimed The Sims 2 PC game. The Sims 2 University will ship this March
and gives players of The Sims 2 the ability to watch their Sims become young adults and put
childhood behind them as they settle into an all-new college town to live out their ultimate
college fantasy. For the first images from the expansion pack, follow the Screens tab
above.
Sinjin Bain, Executive Producer and Maxis Vice President, highlights the
company's commitment to its loyal following, We are thrilled to open up a whole new stage
of life for the Sims, allowing players to lead them through all the challenges of college
and living the exciting university lifestyle of the dorms, parties and exams. This title is
also the first in a line of expansion packs that will address our players' desires, further
develop The Sims 2 franchise and continually expand the world of the Sims creating almost
endless gameplay and storytelling possibilities.
In The Sims 2 University players for
the first time will play through the new young adult life stage as their Sims head off to
college and join the campus crowd. Whether they live in the dorms or rush a fraternity or
sorority that's just the beginning...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.
Pranks, parties and
college social interactions add to the excitement while your Sims explore campus locations
such as college lounges, pool halls, gyms and coffee houses. As in real life, if your Sims
start running low on funds, they can earn Simoleans by picking up a part time job, like
tutoring, or engaging in riskier affairs like printing money as a member of the secret
society.
Of course, making the right decisions can lead your Sim to the ultimate goal
of becoming Big Sim on Campus in The Sims 2 University.
The Sims 2 is required to
play The Sims 2
University.
