Welcome to The Sims 4 Discover University Expansion Pack, now available on Xbox One! Now that you’ve signed up for classes in the city of Britechester, it’s time to learn about all the opportunities of university life. After all, college is about more than just academics—even though those are important too.

Choosing
a School

With two prestigious school options to choose
from, Sims can’t go wrong as they start their educational journey. The stately
University of Britechester is particularly known for molding students into
smart, well-rounded Sims ready to face the world’s challenges, offering a
variety of degree paths strongly focused on the arts and humanities. If your
Sim is more tech-inclined, the modern Foxbury Institute boasts impressive
facilities as well as both events and distinguished degree programs geared
toward science and technology.

Academic
Rigor

Despite all the fun activities on campus, your
Sim’s first priority should be classes if they want to succeed in their future
careers. Choose from a variety of possible degrees—like Art History, Biology,
Drama, or Villainy, for example—and make sure Sims go to their lectures, prep
for presentations, and finish all their homework. If they’re struggling, maybe
have them join a study group.

Living
Situations

Whether your Sims opt to live on campus in a
dorm or commute in from home, you can explore and decorate with plenty of new
college swag. Make it a haven for studying or the spot to be for nightly
hangouts with posters, mini-fridges, and healthy amounts of university-themed
pride. Just make sure you get along with your roommates if you have them or
things could get awkward!

Getting
Around

Bicycles are here! Your Sim can pedal around
campus to explore all their new alma mater has to offer, from the student
commons to the library. Bikes are especially helpful when your Sim is running a
little late for class and needs to kick it into gear to save their grades!

On-Campus
Activities

There are plenty of new experiences on the
horizon for your Sims! While academics are important (no slacking if you want
to stay in school!), it’s also good to have fun and learn things outside of the
classroom too! Check out all of the various clubs on campus, from the Bot
Savants and the Brainiacs at Foxbury Institute to the Debate Guild and Art
Society at U of B. Unofficially, your Sims can challenge their classmates to
some juice pong at a party, attempt a keg stand, or participate in the heated
school rivalry with some unruly shenanigans and pranks. If none of that is up
your Sim’s alley, maybe they want to investigate the rumors about a certain
secret society…

Scholarly
Style

College is all about trial and error—including
stylish nights out and the next-day fashion disasters that follow. Experiment
with your Sim’s personal expression, from new piercings and hairstyles to
university swag they can get from the campus kiosks. It’s the perfect time to
explore the way they present themselves to the world.

Money
Matters

It might be crass to discuss it, but it’s a
real concern for university students! How are your Sims planning to pay for
their future? Check out the scholarships and grants awarded for athletics and academics
alike, or take out student loans if they need to wait until after graduation to
start paying it back.

Don’t be afraid to push your Sim’s limits, in the library and at the juice pong table. Take a chance and meet new people, invest in your Sim’s future, master all the necessary skills, and above all, explore who your Sims are—and who they want to be. Any university experience is possible here. Ready to start creating those memories for your Sims? The Sims 4 Discover University Expansion Pack is now available on the Microsoft Store.
