University Life Expansion is now confirmed

[Dextra2]

They bring Aliens with Seasons and PlantSims with University? Who does that make sense to?

Aliens don't have Seasons on their planet, and where's a better place for a PlantSim to hide then then where a lagre group of YAs that are too busy too pay attention to the the things surrounding them?

Maybe the 'plant sims' will grow the 'herbs' that sims can throw on the fire.

SimsVIP has access to an anonymous source that was able to provide screenshots of lessons from University.

I'm not familiar with TS2 - so please enlighten me: What are PlantSims?

Oh man thanks for the Rica, that's a ton of new information! Did anyone else laugh out loud when Chris Steel was tagging? And how about that Science skill? Did that bloke just create a baby? Can't wait to see the broadcast! Squee!

I'm not familiar with TS2 - so please enlighten me: What are PlantSims?

PlantSims came with TS2 Seasons. I never playes one, so someone else can probably give you more information, but from what I know: instead of normal motives, they had needs like Sunlight, Water, and Love. As mentioned before, they reproduced asexually by "budding". Basically they would just have a little Toddler PlantSim who could then grow up. They were caused by over-spraying plants and they could talk to plants, which back then not just any Green Thumb could do! (Because there weren't any Green Thumbs, or any other Trait.) That's all I know, but I bet the TS3 ones will be even better, they look so cool, and I'm very excited!

Given that vending machines and murphy beds can fall on sims, I wonder if the new death will be 'crushed'.

[Ricalynn]

New death is confirmed as Blunt Force Trauma which is the vending machine.

Edit: Two new death types!

Blunt Force Trauma Death - crushed to death by a vending machine or a murphy bed





Death by Ranting - When Sims protest death, sometimes Death pays them a visit.

This expansion looks better and better with each new photo they show us . Thanks so much Ricalynn for keeping us up to date on everything .

There was one member who had a chance to take lots of screenshots on the main forum to share with us.

Come see some of the new goodies.

Also -- SimsVIP received a photo with pictures of all the new harvestables.

[Chuckles_82]

It is indeed! They have a very good way of making me want something I initially had no real desire to buy until it was on sale... now...

I just love the photo of the plant sim outfit! and pulling the baby plant sim out of the ground!

But wow! That's a lot of car parks. Lag much anyone?

Haha a 'woohoo-ty call'

And they have more plants, and a new gnome. Looks like I'm going to 'need' this new expansion after all!

[RainBeau]

I am so beyond excited about the herbs. This is what I was hoping for with Supernatural. I am going to have the craziest gardens! I am obsessed with planting and growing all harvestables, so that will be a new challenge.

And I am so excited about the new LTWs! How am I supposed to pick one? I want my self-sim to have all of them! Well, at least Major Master, Perfect Student, and Reach Max Influence in All Social Groups (do you think that will be the final title?). I am totally going to be a Rebel and a Nerd. I am definitely one of those completionists they mentioned in the first broadcast I always want to do everything!

Side note: I am absolutely going to make the full casts of Community and How I Met Your Mother when this comes out. Lily has to do a nude sketch of Marshall.

Where did you find the information on new LTW's?

I'm super psyched for the release! Just four weeks left . . . four weeks . . . or so . . .
