The Sims 3 Plus University Life bundle

This product combines the base simulation game The Sims 3 with the University Life expansion pack in a single purchase. Players create and customise Sims, build homes, and then guide young adults through university experiences. New gameplay includes attending classes, joining protests, and exploring campus locations such as the bowling alley and SimBurger. The ESRB rating is T for Teen.

For players who want the base game

This edition suits anyone who does not already own The Sims 3 and wants immediate access to campus life features. Buyers who already own the base game should look at the standalone expansion instead. The disc requires installation of the base game first, so it is not a standalone university simulator. Households without a compatible Windows PC cannot use this product.

Requires The Sims 3 to play

The package includes both titles, but the expansion content cannot function without the base game installed. System requirements list Windows XP SP2, Vista SP1, or Windows 7 with a 2.0 GHz processor for XP and 2.4 GHz for Vista or Windows 7. Minimum RAM is 1 GB on XP and higher on later operating systems. Verify your operating system matches these specifications before purchase.

Questions about this item

Will I need to buy The Sims 3 separately to use the University Life expansion included in this pack?

No, the ELC-73086 package already contains the base game plus the expansion so no extra purchase is required.

What CPU speed must my computer meet for Windows 7 before the game becomes unplayable?

A 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 or equivalent processor is the stated minimum for Vista and Windows 7.

How much power will the game draw from my laptop battery during long play sessions?

The software itself has no published power draw; consumption depends on your laptop's CPU and GPU load while the game runs.
