It depends on what you like, really. If I were you I'd simply read
some University reviews, to get an idea. I liked it, but I'm a
scientific nerd, and it sounds like even I am going to like Nightlife
better. Most people seem to, but you might not be one of those, of
course. What do you like in the game?

If you think about it, we need them all as they come out so we don't
miss anything. LOL That's the way I was with The Sims, had to have it
all! Each EP has new stuff that makes the other EP's more fun.

I guess everyone's already figured out I'm the equivalent of a Sims 2
crack addict... I just feel like I need them all to get the full
experience. For me, every EP has been a good EP. But not every EP is
equally good. Luckily, for me it doesn't come down to money. I'd
rather go without food than Sims LOL

"Ironically, Thompson's "source" for the Sims 2 controversy
is none other than GTA modder illspirit of GTAGarage.com
[16]. Illspirit was among the same team that found and
developed the GTA Hot Coffee mod and posted it on the web.
In an attempt to divert attention away from the Hot Coffee
scandal, illspirit tried an experiment by pretending to be
an anonymous "non-gamer" and provided links to Thompson of
games which also contained sexual content. These games included
the Sims 2, God of War, BMX XXX, and Playboy: The Mansion.
Thompson took the bait and immediately launched an attack
against the ESRB and Electronics Arts."

I would do that stuff if I had time. I'm still working on the basics
of Sims 2, though. Rather than starting with some of the pre-made
students, who I don't care about, I will probably get Alexander Goth
to go and get into the school stuff that way. If I ever have time.

Lack of playing time and addiction to the Pause button. I don't like
playing on fast speed--all the stuff I like about the game gets lost.
I play on medium speed sometimes to get through meals if there's
nothing else going on in the house. So given that I play Sims about
six hours a month in total, it goes slowly.

I have very little interest in just chalking up goals. It's the Sim
behavior I enjoy. In Sims 1, I only ever got one Sim to the top of
the career track, because the process of moving up from one level to
the next wasn't interesting to me. I never focused on that, and I
never got bored with the game. I got sidetracked by personal goals
such as working out the dynamics of the orgies, setting up certain
scenarios between families, etc. I haven't played Uni enough to find
any interesting personal goals in the university part.
