Final Thoughts: Sims 4 University Mods

These are just the tip of the iceberg of TONS of mods for the Discover University Expansion Pack. All it boils down to is how you like to do your gameplay.

Personally, I think most of these mods fix what was missing in the expansion pack. 

I happen to love the school newspaper mod as it reminds me of my time back in uni. But I also like being able to choose my roommates and speeding up term paper writing and the presentation!

Overall, it is up to YOU on how you want your sim’s University journey to go. Regardless of your gameplay style, there’s always a mod up here for you!
