Sims 2 University hits beta, due this month Aspyr today announced that Sims 2 University, the first expansion pack to EA's popular The Sims 2, has hit beta status and is expected to begin shipping this month. 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. 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 four new career paths as they make their way through University. The expansion pack requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 and The Sims 2 to play and is available for pre-order through Amazom.com for $35.
