Well I'll be damned, have only gone and announced an expansion pack for the 2: I'm shocked (it's taken them this long). The first add-on will be titled 2 University, and should be out in March of 2005. In this first official expansion, you'll be choosing your degree, keeping up to academic scratch, socialising, joining secret 'societies', and generally having a ruddy good time.

Once you've graduated from the Sims university, new career paths will be unlocked, making for new variation - which we know you Sims fans like. Of course, we're guessing EA will be diversifying our experience further with more new expansions soon. It's just a crazy hunch...
