i tried playing university with *8 SIMS* 

As a university student i must say the pack is VERY realistic, like when you said "it's helping that they are eating on their own cuz i feel like otherwise they might starve. ive been focusing so much on schoolwork that i have not been prioritising everything else" that is LITERALLY my situation rn, im eating leftover egg w bread on my floor surrounded by books xDDDD

I have a love/hate relationship with the Sims. Loves: building, new packs, gameplay Hates: when the game glitches out and closes right in the middle of a build and I didn’t save yet

I’ve done university with 8 sims. I put them in a club, have “do homework” as an activity, and use Rally the Troops regularly. I also add skill boosts for their course topics. If they live in the dorm I give non-occults bikes. I also open the Job tab and spacebar between Sims to check their course status, and vampires take a popup mixology table and make sunlight reversal cocktail and have an umbrella. Homework boost (the club perk) seems to help with university homework.

*sim does a horrific death burning in the sun* simsie: well this is going to ruin the weekend

a few things that can make your life at university easier: - buy a bike to go faster from place to place, especially at campus - buy earplugs and have them turned on (do not choose the "listen to" option because they are not doing anything else). even if they are turned on but your are doing something else, the fun need goes up! - waffle maker and pressure cookers are allowed in the dorm and they let you have real food with barely any effort, especially in the case of waffles

”The bed is a reward” 😂 Me every evening

I recently did a uni playthrough with my sim and discovered that it's actually fun if you completely rebuild their dorm to be usable (it's not worth challenging yourselves by accepting the default state of it, trust me) with all the amenities, and also the crystals from the crystal pack are a must - especially the faster sleep one and the faster homework one! I've had this pack since the release though and to this day still haven't encountered the secret society :(

Kayla... we would LOVE a part 2... Im kinda attached to them now, I wanna see them graduate! lol

Soo many amazing sound bytes that ring true to the life of a college student 😭😭 1:23 1:51 3:06 3:28 3:33 3:50 4:42 5:03 5:31 5:54 6:05 6:49 7:08 8:08 8:15 8:34 14:34 16:55 18:43 18:50

I love how she went from saying she doesn’t know any of their names and then immediately goes, that looks great Blake!

14:34 “I’ve been focusing so much on schoolwork that I have not been prioritizing everything else” Story of my life, man 😂

I love how fast it devolved from "Trying to make 8 sims make it through university at once" to "Competition to see which sim manages to finish university" Honestly, the badly met needs, constant pressure and stress really sell it like a realistic uni experience

Here are the tips to make this go successfully. uni typically takes 4 years. Take 3 courses each for 4 terms, not 4 courses for 3 terms. I have always considered 4 terms to be "normal" in the sims for university. Build a house first so that they are not in dorms and can just disappear to class. They can each have a dedicated space in their room for presentations so they dont get lost. You can keep a buffet table in the common area. You can use lot traits like study spot to speed up homework time. Get all the sims to level 6 Research and Debate as teens or before beginning uni. At level 6, they gain the ability to do presentations and papers much faster. Even at level 3, they gain speed at completing homework. For the vampire.... at least get them sun resistance lol

Funnily enough, I never had a hard time playing with sims at university, but then I remember that I never just make a young adult sim and make them go to university, it’s always sims that I’ve raised since they were born so they already have plenty of skills maximize, extra traits and stablished connections, which takes away most (if not all) of the challenge

Wow, literally all of the sims passed!🎉 7 passed their classes and one passed away :DDD

A few episodes ago in the nightmare legacy someone left a comment saying "this series is the only thing getting me through college." I hope they're enjoying this 😂

As a someone who study sound engineering in film production I relate to "bed is a reward" "it's 2am we've made it home" and "we don't have time to date anyone"

at 21:20 their moodlets form a perfect rainbow 🌈

"no time for relationships" "the bed is a reward for when you finish your homework" "the library is safe". yes ,i think this pack is pretty realistic actually >_

"You're yapping instead of studying." Kayla in her mom eraaa

If u have Get Together, you can make club to do homework. Once u get enough club points you can buy the do homework faster perk. That coupled with the “study spot” trait make getting a degree do much easier!

0:30 I feel like Simsie went through her library and just added a bunch of single sims households into CAS lol. Like "Ooh! You're on your own, come get some friends!" haha

Oh I did this recently! It was actually really fun. The hardest part was also my vampire who had an extra weakness to the sun and kept trying to risk his life just to be early to class... but the flying places as a bat and not sleeping much was definitely helpful. I wouldn't recommend a werewolf though, regular sims are irritable enough in college with their chronically low fun needs, you don't need them to be mad at literally everything and then turn into a giant dog and attack their roommates.

ahhh death and student loans... life really does imitate art hahahah

The jumper and the lights matching is so cute the green looks so good on you !

How much does Simsie struggle because she won't leave the triple-speed alone...

I used to do a lot of University, but I built an off campus house to use as a "dorm." So much easier because they could actually cook and would just teleport to class. I'd run 4 at a time and always start the semester on Tuesdays.

The gradual British-ification of Kayla is extremely amusing.

1:54 true irl too

me watching this instead of doing my college coursework makes this video truly wonderful

16:44 when capitalism makes it to the sims world

1 is hard, imagine 8 💀💀

This is honestly my favorite way to play University, but I add MORE chaos by giving them all jobs (either part time or WFH) AND give them social lives. I also don't play with autonomy, so it's chaos level 100.

It’s like simsie is trying to stress herself out lol

Im currently playing with 8 sims in university and i had to make the homework go faster, i do 4 classes so i can get out fast lol. But what i recommend is enrolling on the weekend to have those 2 days to do the presentations and term papers 😅

simsie always making herself suffer😭

I once had a presentation disappear out of my sim's inventory, I had to get a specific mod to fix it. This challenge is extreme, I need to try it - university is so stressful in this game! But I'm always up for testing my sim's limits, they can always accomplish more than you expect.

Vote YES (click like) for more university terms! Please 🙏 Kayla, this was fun😊

Next challenge should be Simsie playing with a full vampire household. I think it's time she gets to actually play with vampires properly, because... it really is NOT difficult

it would be fun if you built a house for this challenge, thinking about what would make it easier. best tv next to the food, the best beds, maybe some lights that effect their mood. the same as the best 100 baby house with the tub in the middle of the room.

I always put the dining room thing in the dorms - it still works, the staff will turn up at the right times. It's not free, which is unfortunate, but it's very handy.

every household i make in the sims is FULL. the amount of times i quit and don’t save after losing a child due to neglect(not doing their homework😭) is insane

If you wanna do this again get earbuds!! They can listen to music while doing work and the fun need will never go down. A bit cheaty but 8 sims for university is incredibly hard😭

Should have used an umbrella to protect your vampire sim

I recently played university with two Sims, and one of them graduated with all As and A+ every term, just showing up to class on time, doing her homework, and turning in her essays/presentations. The other Sim, she was doing fine until one day when I was playing while sleepy. I accidentally had her turn in the plagiarized paper. She was instantly caught and failed that course. After that, it was a struggle to get to class, I had to fight with her to do her homework ever, turned in one presentation that took so long she missed her next class which was a final exam, and was never able to recover and was suspended from school for failing. 😂

celebrating getting my license after waiting for years to be cleared for it because of my epilepsy by watching a new simsie video... the gods have blessed me with this timing.

we need a whole series of this! I want to watch them maxed out

Actually with 8 vampires with high vampire skills (flying as bat and stuff like that) makes university easy

My least favorite part of the dorms in this pack was having to leave the lot to get food so first thing I did was give everyone minifridges and microwaves. But honestly with them always being late I feel like living off campus is the move.

I love this a GIANT TV in the library🤣.

Once they’ve all graduated university they should all “buy” a big house together and be the start of the next legacy

love to see casual hijabi representation ❤

“Well this is going to ruin the weekend” 😂😂😂

Omg I LOVED the chaos of this let’s play! Would love to watch a Twitch steam where we played through a whole semester 😁😁😁

University with Multiple sims it’s super hard like there’s so much to keep track of I prefer to just do one then have another one good and help them later cuz if I have more than one do it in the game then just focus on just one then they end up on academic probation they won’t do anything college related by themselves in my game I’ve only had one fully finish it and another is enrolled but taking break to travel,work on her love life and skill build

So excited for this !

having a vampire sim living in the dorm at the uni is SO HARD, my sim also died because she stood out in the sun instead of going home, so that's not your fault kayla

I got so excited seeing Alice Fang back

From every video you ever made this is the first one that I genuinely said “now why would you do that” when I read the title

When you said that it's going to be really hard to do anything outside of uni stuff it's so relatable because that's exactly what it's like irl

uni life was so stressful that I am making an alternate reality for my simself that has a light courseload, no student debt and actual social life 😭

For one of my legacy saves, I’d have my children attend university with an apartment full of their childhood friends/partners so they’d all actually get their degrees instead of how the npcs do it

Lilsimsies game play videos are always so much fun. She's very good at them

“You’re yapping instead of studying” that was on all of my school reports 😅

‘living on campus makes them late non stop’ sims r taking after me

This is so real, I made my friends and I in the sims and all the failing classes is getting a little too close to reality 💀

Omg I'm watching your twitch stream and thank God you made this a youtube series! ❤

You never fail to keep it interesting!

The vampire dying and still have to pay the student loan is so realistic. US realistic.

I cannot tell you how relieved I am that I graduated college this last spring. "Bed is a reward" is so accurate... 😅

Seriously, this content brightened my mood!

"If I kill a Sim *by accident* does it mean I lose the challenge?" As opposed to on purpose? 🤣

17:36 too real

Love this idea! Now, we need a reboot of university with ALL occult sims 👀

to keep the bike and having your sim not leave it around. what i do is set it as preferred and your sims will always put it in inventory after riding.

'i would very much like to survive' subtle foreshadowing

I tried doing the university life with two sims at same time but then I was so stressed out that I quit and used cheats to get the degree instead😂😂😂 Too hard!

The vampire was so stressed she stepped into the sun

I can't believe how good this turned out!

“It’s 3 in the morning! I should have gone to bed sooner!” Is the realest thing, as I watch this at 2:30am! 😅😂

In my legacy save my current heir's grandfather had been turned into a vampire. It was the hair's birthday where she would age up into a teen and the game glitched during the party. They were inside and somehow her grandfather burned to death but grim never came to reap him, so everyone was just standing around crying with grandpa on the floor, and I couldn't get anyone to do anything else. Had to close out and reload the game. Take two of the birthday party went much better. XD Grandpa remains alive. lol good thing too because his elderly husband is pregnant again which was not at all planned but that baby will need one parent alive to raise them XD But yeah, that's all I could think of when you said one of your 8 sims was a vampire.

Definitely a stream of all of them and completely the semester or graduate!! This was very entertaining!

Please do another!! This was so fun and chaotic!! 😂

It's hectic controlling >2 sims in University. You did awesomely great. I once remake the library into a performance center for all the skills. + a hidden room to sleep & woohoo. They are young adult anyway.

the vampire 😭😭😭

me, playing discover university before being a student myself: why is this so hard?! me, playing discover university as a student: i wish my classes were this easy 😅

I do this ALL the time because I’m weird… it’s helps to have a class schedule for all sims so you know who needs to be where and when. Also treat the student center as home base: they can do homework, get all their meals at the cafeteria, do projects, and socialize. And this may be a glitch but the earlier you complete the project for each class the less homework you have to do for the term.

Been waiting for it since the stream where she wrote this idea down.

I'm in college and currently living in an 8-person suite. this is accurate to real life

I would give my vampires an umbrella when they go out. I admire you, Kayla for trying to manage 8 Sims at university. I wouldn't even attempt to try it.

I would have made a homework club for liking to do homework and studying and everything related to school lol

Yes, please do it again. I'm down for a Uni stream!!

I've done university with a 6 sim household, it worked best to not live on campus so they teleport to class. I found lot traits to be helpful such as study spot so they finish their homework faster or fast internet for writing skill and if they are on the esports team. Also if they have a high enough research and debate skill that also helps them do their homework faster. I also would line up all the projects next to each other and force them to do them all at once.

if you do this again; id suggest mabey having a werewolf? so you still get the one random occult who can attack people but you dont need to worry about them dying in the sun lol. alternetively; spell caster so you can summon food and teleport around

i'm an animal scientist, and in college we had a meats class. we learned all about how genetics/environment/nutrition impacts the muscle/fat development, we got to interact with those animals and learn their behavior, and we even followed a few animals through the entire process of going from farm to table. it was pretty cool, and the day we cooked the meats in lab was awesome

My sim got suspended and I have no clue how I managed that. Mind you, she is going while taking care of a toddler, an infant and twin newborns.

I've been doing rotational game play of uni, but each household has 6 sims and I did 3 classes for the first house, but I felt like there was no time to breathe or have shenanigans so I'm going with 2 for the next house. It will take more rotations, but if my sims don't have to spend every moment of the day either studying or mending their needs, it will be good.

this 8 Sim challenge made me think about the next expansion. I can't wait for its release, so I can "relocate" Sims that "accidentally" die. I get to 8 Sims way too fast.

The secret to University is to enroll on a Friday so you can spend the entire weekend doing homework and starting the final projects from the get go

Protip: always have sims enroll in university on a Friday because they will have all of Friday Saturday and Sunday to complete homework, projects and term papers. That way you just have to finish the homework they have for classes they attend during the next week and find the time to do the project presentation.
