------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.01] University
Welcome to University. This is where your Sim can be educated in trained for
the real world and get a step ahead of those who don't come where. The game
comes with 3 pre made universities.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2.02] Types of Buildings
There are many buildings in University.
On the University Campus, there are several types of housing.
A house in University can mean two things. There is the normal residential lot
that you can buy or in the campus, there is the one where you can rent a house
and not pay a truckload for it.
A dorm is where most Sims start out. If you are poor, you can go here to study
hard, make friends, earn some money and more. The housing is free but within
an hour of your arrival, other NPC's will arrive and claim doors. If you get a
bad room with hardly anything, go to buy mode and take something belonging to
another.
A Greek House is basically a house except it is cheaper. It costs less to
enter which is a money saver. Only downside is that you cannot control other
people.
A community lot is still a community lot.
A secret society is a place that you cannot see on the map but it is there. A
secret society is somewhere where you can hack your grades, and make out with
other cool Sims. A secret society is only entered by having 3 secret society
friends. When you go to a community lot, you can see them because they wear a
black jacket with a Llama crest. When you have 3 friends, you can be arrested
and taken to the secret society. To go home, click on yourself.

[4.01] How to Make Money
This area will cover how to make money for your Young Adult while on the
campus. There are several ways to make money, something that is quite hard to
do when you only start off with 500.
Work in the Cafeteria.
This is the most basic way to make money. To work in the cafeteria, all you
have to do is to click on the oven in the cafeteria, and select to work there.
Once you do that, your Sim will spin around and put the apron on. Your Sim
will get about 10 for every 10 minutes he works there. Its not a lot of money
but it is a start.
Play Music
Playing music requires a musical instrument that you get from the items
catalog. When you finally play good, choose perform and the type of music you
wish to perform. As people walk by, they may give you tips. Some times you get
tips up to 100. You can earn quite a lot from a populated area.
Tutor People
Tutoring people is basically finding a book of homework that has not been
completed. Click on it and you get the option to tutor them. The longer you
tutor them and the more they get done, the more you get. This is one of the
better ways to make money.
Work in a Coffeehouse
When you decide to work in a coffeehouse, you have to go to a community lot
with a coffe shop in it. Then, you can choose to either buy a coffee or work
as batista. You get 16 for every 10 or so minutes. Thats better money than
working in the cafeteria but then again, you don't have to go to a community
lot.
Get Good Grades
To get good grades, go to your active Sim and click on their Student Panel and
you will be able to see the bar. When the semister ends, if you Sim is above
that horizonatal line, you will pass the test and get money for it.
Tend a Bar

[8.01] Influence Meter
The Influence meter is something like the Aspiration points. However, the
more friends you have, the more influence points you can hold. Certain wants
give you influence points and some fears will make you lose influence points.
They wants and fears are circled with a blue box outside the want/fear. The
more friends you have, the more influence points you can hold and spend on
others.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[8.02] Influence Points
Influence Points are gained from completing wants and fears. Influence points
can be spent on other Sims. You can influence the other Sim to do your work,
WooHoo with someone, kiss another same sex individual, pull pranks, and much
more. Your relation with the influenced Sim and the amount of points you have
will determine if they are successful or not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[9.01] Lifetime Wants
According to Maxis, there are 20 Lifetime wants. A lifetime want is a want
that the Sim wants to complete during their lifetime. These wants can vary
through different aspirations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[9.02] Wants
The Wants are:
Reach Golden Anniversary
Have a Family Reunion
Have X Children Abducted by Aliens
Graduate X Children from College
Max Out 7 Skills
Have X Lovers at Once
Have X Best Friends at Once

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[9.03] Doing the Wants
Furfilling these wants take some hard work. Each of these wants give out
25,000 Aspiration Points and 10,000 Influence Points
Reach Golden Anniversary:
This wants is completed by staying married for about 50 days. So marry up
from the start of adulthood to the early stages of elder.
Have a Family Reunion:
To get a family reunion, you must have 10 relatives all at the same house.
They can be grandparents, cousins, sisters, and so on. You must have 10 people
at your house though. Have a party!
Have X Children Abducted by Aliens
Get X Children taken by aliens.
Graduate X Children from College
Graduate X children from college, I'm sounding like a record player
Max Out 7 Skills

Earning that much money is problematic. Become a hall of famer and get your
other Sims to paint at home. When you go home after earning that much money,
you sell the paintings, and play with money earning rewards. Use the elixer
of life often

[10.01] New Items
New Items are important to expansion pack games. I can't be stuffed to write
the description but I'll tell you what it does.
Mini Fridge
The Mini Fridge is one of the more inventive items. This fridge allows you to
use do all the normal function that you can do with a big fridge but it is
small and you can place an item on top of it. Put it in your room to make it
your alarm, or you can place a microwave over it. Get Inventive!
Bonfire
The bonfire allows you to have a stack of wood and burn it. Tell stories
around the fire and roast some lovely marshmallows. Watch it down, and place
it inside where is cannot burn down your house. A great party item.
Bass
Play the string instrument for some extra money. Make some funky music with
this low music sounder.
Guitar
Rock on! Place the guitar in a public area and live on the tips. You'll do
just fine.
Drum Kit
Annoy the neighbourhood with this might drum kit. Bash the drums and slash
those sticks, you are the rock king.
Communial Shower
Getting shy with your sexuality? That a communial show where even shy Sims
will have to get over it. Everyone can see what you don't want to see so get
over it.
More Coming
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[10.02] Misc Items
Some of the lesser known things are things like the College Rock radio station
which is one of the better types of music in the game. Its my personal
favourite. There is the SimSports channel where you can watch boxing and
gridiron on television.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11.01] Scholarships
A scholarship is a basic boost in money when your Sims start off to college.
To obtain a scholarship, you have to have a high rank in a certain area to get
a boost. Some are easy, some are hard. The amount of money varies with the
type of scholarship.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[11.02] Types of Scholarships
Coming Soon
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[12.01] Extras on Aspiration
When your Sims go to college, they get an added incentive for going there and
for you to go there and help them. Along the track, your Sim will gain life
experience in the real world. This experience will give your Sim another
Want on your Aspiration Meter after you reach the Sophomore year. Again, after
you reach the Junior year, you have the ability to lock in two wants or fears
instead of one. After your reach the Senior year, you get to have 6 Wants
instead of 5. In summary
Sophomore Year - 5 Wants
Junior Year - Lock in 2 Wants or Fears
Senior Year - 6 Wants
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
