Electronic Arts announced that The Sims 2 University, the expansion pack to The Sims 2 will ship starting today in North America under the EA GAMES brand. In September 2004, The Sims 2 shipped as the next generation sequel to the best selling PC game of all time, The Sims.
Developed by the EA Maxis studio, The Sims 2 University will introduce a new young-adult stage of life, 4 new career paths, new influence gameplay and over 125 new objects.
The Sims 2 University allows players to explore a whole new stage of life as young adults and introduces college-related wants and fears that are ultimately tied to their Sims' social life and academic goals. Join a secret society, pledge a sorority or fraternity, or even join a band and see if your Sims will become the big Sim on campus. The Sims 2 University also introduces influence gameplay allowing players to earn influence points to have other Sims do certain tasks for them such as homework, term papers, cleaning up the fraternity house or even pulling pranks on other Sims. Players will be able to choose from one of 11 majors and open up 4 new career paths while exploring new campus locations such as college lounges, pool halls, gyms and coffee houses.
The Sims 2 University will ship under the EA GAMES brand and will be in stores on March 1 in North America and starting March 11 in Europe. The Sims 2 is required to play The Sims 2 University.
