I bought this game last night and played it for two hours. I must say it's quite good. The gameplay is fairly easy; it's really less complicated than I imagined it would be. What's New * New "Young Adult" Stage - Once your Sims have gone through adolescence, they're ready to enter this stage in their lives and go to college. You do so by moving them first into the "Family Bin" and then move them to a dormitory (as you would normally move a family into a house). You can also choose from the Young Adult Sims already available in the Family Bin, or you can custom-create your own collegiate Sims (create up to eight per household). * New Buy and Build Objects - Although I haven't completely explored the expansion pack, there are some new objects that add more fun to the game, like additional exercise machines, decorations, arcade games, communal showers, bonfires, etc. * Influence - When you interact with other Sims or fulfill certain Wants, you gain Influence points. This feature allows you to "influence" other Sims into doing favors for you, like writing your term paper. * Three University Lots - Sims State University, Academie Le Tour, La Fiesta College. * Majors - Choose from a variety of courses which will help shape your Sim's future career path. How the Game Works: As I mentioned earlier, the gameplay is fairly simple. You can choose to play your former teen-aged Sims, pick the ready-made ones from the Family Bin, or custom-create new Young Adults. Young Adults have four stages representing each year: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior. Each stage or "school year" has two semesters, which has an X number of hours to complete. At the end of each semester, there is a final exam that your Sim has to take. Complete all the academic work required (by going to class, doing term papers, studying, etc.), and your Sim will do well in school. The "Academic Panel," which normally shows career/skill path, displays your Sim's GPA, major, and minimum grade level to be attained. If your Sim fails, he/she goes into "Academic Probation" and has to repeat the previous term. If he/she fails a second time, he/she gets kicked out of school and into the "real world" where they transform into normal adults. As a Freshman, your Sims start out living in a dorm. But as they gain more simoleons, they may choose to live in a private residence. As they meet more people, they can join a frat or sorority house by making a telephone call. After your Sims have successfully completed all four years, they graduate and move on. When my Sim goes to class, it's not shown what's going on in class. It's similar to when an Adult Sim goes to work. You only see/play your Sim when he/she is actually home. Partying and interacting with other Sims is the whole point of the game. :)
