Great Addition To Core Game

The S2U EP is a great addition to the core of the Sims 2 game. Adding the new Young Adult age just "makes sense", so rather from going from Teen to Adult your Sims now go from Teen into Young Adult IF you take them to University (otherwise, they head straight into the Adult age after their period as a Teen).

The new Influence system added to the game is quite interesting. Now you can get your active sim to Influence others to do their bidding, which can be a lot of fun depending on the circumstances.

This EP had a very smooth installation, with no problems whatsoever. I don't use downloaded items/patches in my game so this may be why, as I'm playing the game as Maxis intended.

For those who've reviewed and "complained" they couldn't get the EP to install: If you have any "hacked" / third-party objects/patches in your game, you MUST remove these BEFORE attempting install of Sims 2 University. Quite a bit of downloaded items available since the release of Sims 2 were incompatible with Sims 2 University (since S2U completely updated the "core" of the game engine). Many "third-party" fan sites have NOT updated their items to be University compatible. Remove your third-party downloads (skins, patches, objects) THEN try to install University and I'm sure you'll have a much better go of it. :)
