  At this point in the lifespan of The Sims 4, there are so many expansions and add-ons that the amount of content is a bit overwhelming, and allows the player to craft a world that is grounded in reality, full of magic and fantasy or somewhere in between. The Sims 4: Discover University is definitely weighted towards the real-world experiences and lessons of college life and in addition to being highly entertaining, might just possibly have some educational value of its own.

  When Island Living was released, I was convinced that was my favorite expansion, but Discover University has easily taken that spot. With being able to select your desired career choice by getting a degree, or a distinguished degree for our more serious Sims, hanging out on campus and trying to juggle work along with studying has been a really fun experience with plenty to do and much relatability. And with Discover University definitely impressing me in The Sims 3 University Life, it really adds all the right tools for a complete Sims experience.

  The Sims 4: Discover University is jam packed with new features that offer hours of continuous fun - if you can find them. The college vibe in all the art assets given is on point along with the fashion statements and customization. I really enjoy how well The Sims 4: Discover University plays with just the base game but need to finish this with an entertaining warning: this pack is more unforgiving should you leave your game running on accident it seems. I apologize to the sims universe for the three times I killed my sim and got it kicked out of school!

  So much information, and so many possibilities that it can be almost scary. On the other hand, players are given the opportunity to design a whole new period of life for their Sims. While not always easy to navigate, Discover University definitely adds a lot to gameplay.

  New additions and returning favourites make Discover University a very strong offering, despite being the eighth expansion pack for The Sims 4. It improves on previous university-themed expansions but doesn't quite achieve the lively atmosphere of other DLC packs available for a similar price. A strong recommendation for hardcore Sims fans, but not a must-buy.

  The Sims 4: Discover University is, alongside Get Famous, the best expansion released in the last five years of the game's existence. Despite some choices that we find a little frustrating compared to previous chapter The Sims 3 (such as the inability to walk freely around the game map, as well as the fact that we can't follow our Sim during certain activities, for example, during the lessons), this a very good addition to an already rich and well-rounded offering.
