Spare a thought for anyone who tries to keep a young person on track for any length of time, happy social skills and an education of the two-point campus throws you in at the deep end, feeding and educating your entire class of freshmen as they try to complete courses in subjects like astronomy and science, which sounds easy enough, but my class was just in its first academic year and it was chaotic for 20 minutes First hand I obsessed over the placement of towels in the shower room and forgot the instructions in the game about building a college library, so none of my students could complete their assignments, including a report on the origins of bread. I got to work, but deciding on the placement pattern of the bookshelves was an existential nightmare; they had to be perfectly lined up, and I was obviously a terrible college president, but damn, I had a good time.
A small daunting complex, located in the countryside with a canal and thatched cottages, consultant Albert Crank took me through some of the usual tutorials and then I got straight to work building a lab for my science students with a few requirements, a strange looking machine, a panel on the wall, and some small decorative items. If I was feeling fancy, I could add some plants or shells with dangerous liquids inside.
The new challenge comes from the fact that you no longer have a function for your little ones who come in with a treat and come home with years of needs, they don’t just need to pee, they need to shower, they don’t just need a vending machine to eat, they want all kinds of food. They want to socialize at special events, join clubs, and have a place to sleep.
Students will ask for the rooms or items they need for class, and if they don’t get them, their grades will start to drop. Make sure you have enough waiting room benches and a doctor’s office A relic from a simpler time Now that you are trying to scrape together money to buy a stage for your student bar so you can host a rock concert Unlike the patients in the two o’clock hospital, everyone is also evolving and you can check in on them Maybe student Henrietta Belcher is struggling in class and needs to be sent for some private tutoring, can you place items that motivate students to be more social, like a water fountain or a love bench, to help their overall well-being.
But with years of in-game interaction and responsiveness to their needs, you can’t help but start caring about at least a few of them. It’s a smart system that will only make the management mechanics more attractive, not get in their way.
Like a two-point hospital, the tools and menus feel familiar and accessible, and they let you build your campus with just a few clicks, but also hide in-depth heat maps for the true control freaks to understand sanitation or thirst problem spots, track finances and new building tools to really customize every inch of your school. My light use of a lot of rooms early in the level meant I didn’t have room to add new amenities needed for more advanced classes, like a sweet kitchen for my foodie kids, and my finances were stretched too thin to buy another piece of land. But I knew that I would completely renovate some of the existing classrooms, and as I was doing so, a mini-crisis arose because I didn’t have enough janitors to dispose of the students’ trash and the place began to look more like a post-Black Friday Target parking lot. The next campus I was in charge of was Piazza Linatra, an urban college focused on culinary arts, and I still had the option of building science and VR labs, but I really needed to focus on equipping my gastronomy students with basic amenities. I built a spacious kitchen filled with necessities and extras like a sink and mixing station, not all of these touches were superficial, and as the program progressed, students needed specific equipment, and then I started a new school year with an advisor at this campus who implied that to be good chefs, students needed to be exposed to I
