The Sims 2: University

The Sims 2: University, or UNI, is the first expansion pack for The Sims 2, released on March 1, 2005. The pack is meant to give Sims a college experience.
==Description==
Your Sims are now young adults leaving home to live the ultimate college fantasy. Immerse them in college life as they become the Big Sim on Campus. They'll relish their new-found freedom as they party with friends, join fraternities and sororities and pull outrageous pranks. Your Sims will explore all the campus hot-spots as they frequent lounges, gyms, coffee houses and more. Help them fulfill new lifetime goals to unlock more rewards and reap all of the benefits of their university years.
==Features==
*College: Upon installing University, players have the option to send any teenage Sim to college. After using the computer or phone to choose to go to college, the teen then moves out of the family's home and into a special "college town", transitioning into a young adult. Sims in college reside in dorms, Greek houses, or private residences if they can afford to do so. They must choose a major and attend classes, while trying to develop new social contacts and retain relationships formed at home. Upon graduation, the Sim returns to their home neighborhood a full-grown adult and has many more career opportunities available when compared to Sims who did not attend college. The majors Sim can choose are: Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Political science, Psychology, Art, Biology, Drama, Economics, History, and Literature.
*New careers: Four new career tracks have been added that can only be entered by college graduates. These include Paranormal, Show business, Natural scientist, and Artist. Interestingly, Sims don't require a degree to be a doctor, but they need one to go into show business. These new careers come with new career reward objects, such as the "antique camera" for the artist career, which allows your Sims to take photographs of their world and hang them on the wall, and the Cowplant for the natural science career which can bring the more...undesirable inhabitants of the neighborhood to their demise. There is also a plastic surgery station for the show business career, so that Sims born with more "unique" facial features can alter their appearance.
*New life state: The fourth career reward object added comes from the new paranormal career, and adds a new life state to the game. The Resurrect-O-Nomitron gives your Sims the ability to bring their loved ones back from the dead by calling the Grim Reaper. However, raising the dead comes with a price. Depending upon how many simoleans the player selects when a Sim places the call to the beyond, they may end up with the Sim revived, but as a zombie.
*New music: Includes College Rock and Jazz. All songs are in Simlish.Community lot speakers for the College Rock and Jazz channels were not included, but are available as custom content from ModTheSims.
*New interactions: There are several new college-themed interactions, such as streaking, pranks, hanging out, playing kicky ball, and having pillow fights. Sims can also have study groups, which improves relationships with other Sims while boosting grades. Sims now have the ability influence other Sims to do certain things by clicking the "Influence To...". 
*New self interactions: Sims can now buy a cell phone, MP3 player or handheld game from a vending machine on campus. Sims can then use these objects autonomously or through player direction.
*New themes: There are several clothing and furnishing themes introduced in this expansion, including Greek, punk and psychedelic. These include new wallpapers, furniture and clothing.
*Secret societies: Some members of the campus community walk around in snappy suits. If a player's Sim befriends three or more of these Sims, they will be able to join the secret society. These societies allow Sims to use the interaction Secret Handshake, give them the ability to Hack Grades on a computer, and use the society's club house, which has a Cowplant, Resurrect-O-Nomitron and a camera.
*New skill objects: There are several new skill objects, including instruments such as bass, guitar, and drums (which build Creativity). 
*Create a Student: A new way to create young adult students, somewhat similar to Create a Sim. The player can only create young adult sims in this mode.
*New objects: Introduced a new selection of musical instruments, a new treadmill, mobile phones, MP3 players, bubble blowers, a new weight machine, and more.
