I don't have supernatural, will this reason alone cause any errors?

22 I will give him the key to the house of David. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them; when he closes doors, no one will be able to open them.

As far as I know, it shouldn't. I tried to test it with AnyGameStarter, and for me it worked fine - besides, I use only a couple of objects from this addon.

Hi ! This is a thanks post because I installed and played with it yesterday evening and I really enjoyed this university world! Great work <3 I also wanted to give you a few feedbacks. All the lodges are for 4 people as I saw, which in my opinion is a bit crowded for that much small lot ^^ ( comparing the other cube houses), but I removed a few beds from some of them ( hehe ) because I am more into lodges than cubes. The hangout place for rebels were extraordinarily nicely designed. The club is so undergroundish designed which I loved the most (I'm in that business in my country and seeing an underground club instead of a guetta-like club was a moral riser for me hahah) The only problem was the population. Your characters are so lovely but there are so few as well as the professors. I had to enable EA's own story progression in order to play when I see my fine arts major in lecture with only one girl from sorority and professor Scarlett wasn't even there I think you should populate the world more and play a little bit so they gain social group influences. There were just a few with influence level 1 or made their influence via cheats/mods previously if you don't have time. Just a suggestion Other than that, I'd suggest adding a few empty lots for players to add their own houses maybe, or lots? might be. Other than that, everything was well designed, easy to play and fun. Thanks again for this project!

Thank you so much! The original University world was so laggy for my computer that I had to stop using it because of lag issues. Now I can let my sims go to university without any lag issues. Thank you so much, it runs beautifully! ^^

As far as I know, this could happened because you didn't pass the test (from the green uni bucket) before go to university, so you don't have study shedule. It's just another strange EA logic, 'cas the same problem appears in the original Uni world.

This is just what was needed. I have found the original University pretty well unplayable.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is THE mod I've been wishing for, ever since University Life came out.

Well, actually, no, I would have settled for a lot less. Just a world with ROADS to the uni door would have already ranked up there with the holy grail. Again, I'm not exaggerating. Watching my sim spend an hour running down those paths, then up the wrong side of the building, then back to the entrance... it was seriously annoying.

But this is perfect, and vastly exceeding what I was wishing for. I like the dorm layouts, the furniture, the classmates, etc.

And it has ponys on the lawn. And strays! That alone is so much better than the EA uni.

Now the sorority has a super-fluffy cat as an extra room-mate, called Cait Sith, or inofficially, Die Bundesmieze (the federal kitteh) because it's everyone's roommate. I pretty much went *squeee* when I saw the fuzzball in front of the UNIVERSITY residence.

I wonder what degree will the cat get :p

Thanks.

I have a question, before I download this, do I need University to run it and can I run it along with University without problems. In other words would one cause the other to fail and what not.

Yes, you absolutely need University EP, 'cas this world just replace the one which EA made. As far as I know, if you have only base game and Uni, it's enough to play, all non-base objects from other EP's will be replaced automatically.

Default thanks! :)
Thanks so much for this! I am enjoying it a lot, and I really appreciate the great amount of detail and work you put into this university. I love all the sims you made, and unlike the bland EA roommates, yours burst with personality. Thanks.

You should totally make more worlds, or even another university world, beach themed island university perhaps?

I think you are having a problem because you have 2 files under the same name and there is a conflict. You need to rename the OLD university world file to something else, for example university.world_ORIGINAL. This way you will keep your old University world on hold, and the game will read and run the new university world.

Check again where you placed the university.world file. Is there 2 now?

Your files should be here:

\Program Files (x86)\Origins Games\The Sims 3\University Life\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds

OR here (cd game):

\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\University Life\GameData\Shared\NonPackaged\Worlds

You should have there:
university.world
university.world_ORIGINAL (renamed by you)

Don't delete the ORIGINAL world because you don't want to lose it completely and might want to play it one day. Good Luck.

Hello TeaWitch! Thank for this DL, I do not know if you are taking request but I was wondering if is it even possible to convert this to a non-replacement world? In theory, using NRaas Traveller Mod are you able to have two custom university worlds installed in your game at the same time? I would greatly appreciate the help :-)

22 I will give him the key to the house of David. When he opens doors, no one will be able to close them; when he closes doors, no one will be able to open them.

World does not work - crashes
Hi Tea Witch
I love the idea of this world because I really dislike the huge original campus, but it does not work for me. When I try to send my sim to University the world starts loading and then collapses, sometime even collapsing the game. I've followed the instructions carefully and tried using it on both a fresh installed and an old game with the same results. Just wated to report in case something can be done because as I said, I really like this idea.
Thank you!


Note: I have all the expansions but no stuff packs. Version 1.67

I loved this, but i'm curious about how you did it? Like how did you make a custom university?
