Britechester is a world included in The Sims 4: Discover University. It is home to two college campuses, the older University of Britechester, with a focus on the arts and humanities, and the modern Foxbury Institute, that focuses on science and technology.
Design
Britechester’s design is split between two different inspirations which are further noticeable in the two university campuses. Foxbury Institute is based on both Stanford University in California and the MIT in Massachusetts, while the University of Britechester is a clear homage to Oxford University in England. Outside of the campuses, the world is clearly inspired by English cities with an older design and plenty of townhomes.

Britechester consists of three neighborhoods.

Trivia
This is the first university-themed world in The Sims series that is a main residential world, unlike the college sub-neighborhood worlds of The Sims 2: University and The Sims 3: University Life.
It is the first university world to contain two universities at the same time: the three universities in The Sims 2: University were all in separate worlds.
Each hall within the University of Britechester references different names for dragons, likening their mascot being a dragon. One of the halls has the name “Darkwing” which is one of the default names for the dragon familiar in The Sims 4: Realm of Magic.
