On December 29, 2012, The Sims 3: University Life was rated T for Teen by the ESRB, confirming that it was official, and had completed development. The freedom of The Sims 3 will inspire you with endless possibilities and amuse you with unexpected moments of surprise and mischief. Nine screenshots were leaked on the EA-owned website Digital River, but fansites were asked to remove them, though they still exist in posts on The Sims 3 official community forums. It was then hinted in a teaser in a Maxis live broadcast, and the Spanish version of the logo was displayed at an EA game launch event that showcased new releases including The Sims 3: 70s, 80s & 90s Stuff. It was first leaked on the Russian version of Origin, but later taken down. A Sim who reaches rank 10 with a group will be given a job offer in a special career unique to that group. As they progress through the ranks they can unlock new interactions and objects, and later pick an additional trait. The player can join these social groups, and move up in their rankings by befriending members of the group and/or doing activities and interactions related to the group. University Life also introduces social groups: Jocks, Nerds and Rebels. These benefits will increase the higher the Sim's grade. Having a degree will allow a Sim to start at a higher level in careers relevant to the degree, and they will also be paid more. To receive a degree, a Sim must obtain 48 credits for it, and pass their final exams. Taking more credits will allow a Sim to obtain their degree faster, but they will have more of their time taken up by studying. The player can select the Sim's major, out of either Business, Communications, Fine Arts, Physical Education, Science and Medicine, or Technology, as well as the number of credits they wish to study for, and whether they want to study for one or two terms. Teen can also take the aptitude test, to see what skills they need to work on but they can not go to University before they grow up to be a young adult.Įnrolling in college can be done on phone, computer, or going to the public school and enrolling there. The amount of financial assistance (scholarship) provided to the Sim is also determined by the test. The results also show the total aptitude score, along with the sub-scores for the majors and cerid award. The results will depend on their skills, traits, work experience and school grades. When a non-player mascot is near the Sims' lots, they can take an aptitude test.
In order to attend university, a Sim must be a young adult, adult or elder. Sims University is a sub-neighborhood probably based on New England Campuses that functions similarly to the vacation worlds in World Adventures. It is not to be confused with The Sims 2's University Life Collection, which was released in 2009 and featured The Sims 2: University, as well as two stuff packs (IKEA Home Stuff and Teen Style Stuff). The Sims 3: University Life is the ninth expansion pack for The Sims 3.
