Simsie saying that she’s not going for a “nice” dorm is so funny to me because this whole build makes my dorm experience look like I was living in complete squalor.
Lol ikr like the massive tv? Free computers? Spacious rooms? I have friends who lived in dorms very recently so I've seen what they look like here and I'd say Kayla could squeeze in about 4 more beds in those rooms by our standards 😂
On the other hand talking about people not having the money or patience to really decorate, I shared a floor with some girls who brought full sized sofas and color coordinated bedspreads so
Agreed lol I didn’t go but my ex did, his dorms were crap compared to this lol
@@gracesmiley3364 oh for sure. Even if people didn’t have money, they tried their best to make their rooms not look like the disasters they were. I knew people with curtains for their beds, people who lofted their beds and put beanbags and sofas underneath, the whole shebang. Thrift store furniture was in high demand.
@@AdamZugone Right? My dorm building had 4 floors, no elevator, and the top floor had a baseball sized hole in the floor going all the way down to the basement. Not to mention all the trash cans placed in the common room under leaks in the ceiling to collect the water so it didn’t seep into the carpet.
as a current college student and RA, you’d be surprised how much effort people put into decorating their dorms nowadays. when my siblings were in school they barely decorated but it’s actually really uncommon for me now to see a plain room during room checks!
wait FAIRY LIGHTS were banned in her dorm? that’s quintessential dorm decor right there damn
I think I would get rid of that rule in 2023 but even a few years ago cheap sets were incandescent and might get hot and be a fire risk, esp on walls with posters.
Fairy lights were banned in my college's dorms as well, but people would just hide them right before room checks and put them back up after room checks.
we can have fairy lights in our dorm, but they have to be battery operated and not actual plug ins. At least at my university
The opposite dorm tower should be mirrored but you could change all the red swatches to yellow so it's still Foxbury vibes but there's like the "red" dorms and the "yellow" dorms
Interesting note. You can't create a dorm with a stove or grill... But grills can fit in your personal inventory. While at school you can bring your own grill.
I thought you were talking about real life for a second! I mean, one of my highschool classmates was carrying around the shell of a grill during school last year, so um..
Sims 4 hacks: brought to you by actual students
This is so interesting to me because I had an apartment-style dorm with a full kitchen.
@@miamiric6051 for research purposes can I ask if ur American or not? I've always had dorms like that but I'm from elsewhere, and it always seems to be American dorms that don't have food facilities.
@@sfatlithewise1276I’m Canadian but idk if my experience is representative of everywhere in Canada or if I was just lucky.
Dorms are so wierd. When I was studying in Japan, one of my friends got a single room with a full bathroom in it, another friend got a single room, but the building didn't have any ways to take a shower, so she had to go another building across the road, and I didn't get a dorm room at all and rented an apartment.
All of us were on the same program, in the same class.
that second one sounds insane! what kind of student hating psychopath designed that building?😭
@@chickenfoot2423 it’s actually common in japan for apartments to not have a bath or shower in them, and for people to go to local bathhouses to bath or shower instead. it’s definitely just a way to cut costs and for people who can afford to actually live somewhere so unfortunately, it’s common in cheaper places and i’m guessing: dorms.
As a former RA It’s funny to me when Simsies talks about the room checks. I hated having to bust residents about candles and air fryers but it’s better then someone burning the dorm down lmao
in my dorm we only do room checks at the end of the semester when people have gone home, so we literally told residents that before they went home, they needed to put away anything that was not allowed bc if we dont see it, its not there (and we're not allowed to open anything so if its a closed closet, who would know).
Same! One time, after putting up notices for a week about the day we were doing room checks, I ended up checking a friend of mine who had her groceries on her desk, with a ton of alcohol, just two days before her 21st birthday. My boss was there and she ended up having to pour out all the alcohol she’d bought for her birthday party.
@@margaretrousseau3783 At my school we did 3. One in the middle of the 1st semester (October ish), One after everyone left for Winter Break and one in the middle of the 2nd semester (March ish) That October one we didn’t even know when it was gonna be my boss was like. Yup, Alex’s turn let’s go 😳. I think we collected about 40 air fryers throughout the entire building in just the october check (we have a capacity of about 700 💀)
the way our room checks worked was that the RA literally gave us advanced notice and could only do a visual search so basically everyone got away with everything 😅
We only had a check if someone told a RA something was wrong. Such as Alcohol and other things of the sort. Other than that we were left alone 100 percent of the time. Granted we were all pretty good cookies within my group.
Laughing to myself as Simsie puts a thermostat in. My dorm had no AC and the heaters were so poor that in the winter we would have ice on the inside of windows 😂
Freshman year, we had no AC in a semi-desert area in AUGUST (I nearly passed out from heat stroke a couple times and had to sleep with a fan under my sheets) and then in winter, we had a radiator that barely worked.
They fully renovated the entire building with central air, new insulation and an elevator the year after I graduated lol.
I don't know if that's better or worse than my dorm, our heating is on ALL the time, regardless of weather or season 😭
I feel very lucky. It would get so hot inside the dorms in the winter from the old fashioned heaters, I’d leave my window cracked for air 😂😂
My first dorm didn’t have AC but it did have heaters and they turned them on in September. It’s still like 90 degrees at the end of September where I’m from. Place is miserable. I hate summer and warm weather so much
One time our beverages froze solid because the heaters were either sufficiently warm or didn’t work.
The fact that US dorms and bathrooms are shared between u and a stranger would be enough to make me never go to Uni lol
it really depends on your floor. i had a community bathroom in my first year, and it wasn't so bad. there was never any drama between the other girls, and everybody had their own schedules, so there were always sinks & showers. plus, it gave me a chance to talk to the girls at the other end of the floor that i would otherwise never see. idk everyone's different but i didn't mind it
its not really a us only thing. i live in europe and i have a shared bathroom
It's not ALL dorms but yes a pretty large amount do have shared rooms. Usually you pay extra for an individual or a suite. And yes it stopped me from wanting to go anywhere near a campus. I did online instead. I have pretty bad social anxiety and sharing a room would have been really bad for me. Well.. sharing a room I could possibly get used to if I could pick the person but you don't get that luxury. Also, sharing a bathroom I *definitely* could never do.
It really is not just a US only thing, I know too many countries in Europe with these kinds of unfortunate dorm settings (mine included)
Tbh you aren't required to stay in dorms. I know at my university you can actually have your own apartment that functions as an "off campus" type housing. No need to worry about communal spaces lol
The way US dorms dont have kitchens in each floor is wild to me as a British student who just moved out of uni accom. Each floor was divided into flats of 4-10 ish people with a shared kitchen/common room and unless you wanted to walk 15 minutes across the city centre and shops to the student cafe there wasn't a cafeteria
The school I went to in Canada have a kitchen + fridge and you could kinda host a party there too on each floor (you’d have to be sneaky with alcohol tho). You didn’t have to share your room and even if you chose to live in an apartment style building with three other people, you still got your own room.
my dorm said they had a kitchen on the first floor, then blocked it off the entire semester I lived on campus so no one could use it
@@captainaddy9591 Oo! In My Building every room was an en-suite and we definitelyyyyy had parties lol but then again the drinking age is 18 here. But there was security guards who would kick poeple out if you were making too much noise
Yeah my uni accom was very similar though we do have a couple accom buildings on campus that do have cafeterias instead of kitchens but it’s kinda odd.
Who knows, I haven’t lived in accom for over a year though.
@@inkedcatharsis my unis a smallish city campus but the bigger uni in the city has a similar thing to urs
The Snowy Escape *Hot pot is allowed* for some reason, so you can have actual food.
That’s funny, because I definitely remember bringing a hot pot thingy (the cheap plastic not-kettle ones) to my college dorm as a freshman 😂
my dorm banned any kind of cooking appliance other than a microwave and mini fridge, I hid my keurig in my dresser when they did room checks bc my RA wasn't allowed to go through the drawers
My dorm did not allow hot plates or microwaves but allowed a coffee pot.
@@cerberus7629 sorry, im not from the US so i am curious why isn't that allowed?
@viktorija_6267 they told us it was a fire hazard, which to an extent I get but you need to have smth when you don't have access to a kitchen
I always add a cafeteria when I renovate dorms cause it's way better than just a fridge and a microwave. And the food it's usually cheap so my sims can eat properly AND paying a fair price.
Modern problems require modern solutions 👍
Do you have to pay someone to staff it? I've never really used the cafeterias except in the high school
@@SmallSnailMarie assuming they follow the logic of food stands, if they're in public lots yes but if not, the option to man it yourself should appear. I now want to test this xD
@@SmallSnailMarie you don't have to in a dorm, the food just costs money
it honestly is so much fun to hear you talk about your college experience (especially as a non-american college student who lives with their parents still) and see you having so much fun building this according to regulations that don't exist in sims LOL i love this type of video!
Hi
as someone who lives in the uk, sharing a room with a stranger for uni would make me actually want to die
I was JUST scouring the gallery for the perfect redo - can’t wait to see what you do! I’ve actually been enjoying university gameplay again to get a break from the infants lol
i am so sad there isn't an opportunity to turn infants off (((( it's like i don't even want to keep my legacy sims (((( thanks for the idea how to refresh
Omg since infants were added into the game my sims getting pregnant are an actual nightmare! I despise the infant lifestage (not rlly, it's more of a love/hate relationship. Would be better if the infants even worked correctly half the time.)
@@elizavetakapp171 idk if that would be cheating but you could just skip that life stage since you started the challenge before it was introduced anyway
Yes, I love infants but feel like when I have a sim in that stage it’s all I can do in that save, my sim can’t work or anything
heres a fun challenge
I still can't get over the idea of sharing a literal bedroom with a stranger, as an adult. I went to Uni here in Australia, and our accommodation had wings of ten to twenty single-person rooms, with a shared multi-person bathroom and a big shared common room (kitchenette + shared living room, basically) per wing. Pretty basic, but at least we had privacy. (And candles. And fairy lights.) Thinking about it, I might do a Foxbury dorm reno to turn them into Aussie-style Uni accommodation, that could be fun!
highschool years was like a sequel to discover university to me. Being able to go with your sims to school, plus teenage stuff.
My freshman dorm building was from like 1920 and if you plugged in more than one hairdryer at a time, it turned off the entire electricity in the area. The first night (in a semi-desert area in August with no central air), someone plugged in a separate AC unit and the entire floor didn't have electricity for like 12 hours. They finally redid the entire building the year after I graduated lol.
I rebuilt these dorms once and I made everything inside one of them aggressively yellow just to make my sims' miserable. Walls, floor, furniture, lights, decor, everything was bright yellow.
Did you read The Yellow Wallpaper beforehand?
And they were all yellow...
@@kitkat8669 why this is comment killing me
Best to set them to dislike the color yellow, they'll love that
Both dorms I lived in had high ceilings the first one was because it was one of the original buildings on campus, but I have no idea why the other one had high ceilings lol. I think part of it might have been because it was designed with energy efficiency in mind but idk if high ceilings help with that
High ceilings make the space much harder to heat and cool because it's a larger space. Also heat gets trapped in the high ceiling area.. so it gets even harder to cool it because heat rises. So it's definitely not energy efficient whatsoever. It likely had high ceilings because the rooms were small. Higher ceilings give the feeling of the space being bigger than it is.
I used to be grumpy about the lack of stoves in university housing (my dorm had shared kitchens- *full* kitchens- on alternating floors in the common room, and the off-campus apartments each had legit kitchens), but then I put a sim through getting a degree. Her roommates brought home so much food I never managed to finish it before she graduated
My dorm was in the brand new building on campus and I was the first group of people living there. It was sparkling and clean and had GREAT bathrooms with individual stalls (in one "bathroom" room in the hall) made up of showers, toilets, and sinks. It even had AC it was amazing lol
in my freshman college year i lived in a building that was like 50 years old. 50 years of students coming and going. so... ew, carpets were awful and all was very old. but hey, it was cheap
let’s all take a moment to appreciate simsie saving us from playing in default lots
Simsie: no one puts so much effort into decorating their dorm
My friends: hang up fairy lights and posters, buy a rice cooker and a kettle etc etc (we're not from the US so the dorms actually have a shared kitchen with stoves etc but it's nice to have something just for your room)
Honestly, as a Brit, every time I see a University build where students have to share bedrooms, toilets and showers, I just can't believe it 😂 Like, whaaaaaat?! You have to do what with strangers? F no. Thank you UK 😂
Before i read the comments to this video, i thought that dorms with rooms for a single person were only in fantasy books 😅 people from my uni have to share rooms with 3 other students. The rooms are small, they fit two bunk beds, two dressers and two small tables or one full size desk. I was lucky to live in a town near the city, so i could live at home
So even sims dorms look like luxury to me :) Though people say that some colleges and private universities have great dorms, but i've never met anyone who lived there
@@breakthewall.mp3126 crazy! Our "dorms" are usually 6 ensuite bedrooms (each bedroom has their own bed, desk, wardrobe, drawers) that share 1 communal space which is a living/dining/kitchen space, with a full oven, fridge, freezer, sofas, dining table. This is called a "flat". Each student who lives in the flat has a key to get into the flat, and then a personal key for their own room. You can get studio flats, if you're a nurse, etc and need a good night's sleep! They have a double bed, small kitchen and bathroom. You can also get double rooms, if you were at University with your spouse.
@@willma2625na fr uk uni accom isn’t actually that bad 😍
I’ve always disliked the dorms 😭
Don’t we all?
@@BritishMotherfuckeryea 😅
@@Brooklyn-id1hw Hum!
Yeah, they're pretty bad. I've been renovating them recently.
I actually kinda like them but I get it
As someone that is going into an 8 person dorm, I WISH our dorm was this lovely.
I love how it’s acceptable to call something EW
i was confused for a sec cause EW is endwalker in final fantasy XIV 😅
Why shouldn't it be acceptable
add an e to that and you get eye
I certainly did put this much effort into my dorms when I was in college, lol. I brought a rug, lamp, christmas lights, a few small canvas wall art pieces and curtains and fabric to cover the walls and drape over my bed. And I totally didn't have candles and then hide them for room checks, no certainly not 👀
I‘m supposed to study for my French exam right now but Simsie is more important and French can wait! I need my daily Dosis of Simsie or else I won’t be able to function like normal 😅
Edit: I just got back from school and I wrote the exam. It was a pure catastrophe. I only knew one bit of 4 sections in total 💀 This is your reminder to study if you have an upcoming exam.
je te souhaite bonne chance:)
Good luck on your exam!
@@pollinationtechnician7553merci beaucoup!
@@UnassumingLlama thank you!
I'll be a jerk for a second and remind you to study at least a little bit lmao. Best of luck! 💛
The Sims 4 Dorms resemble U.S university apartments more than university dorms. My university apartments had high ceilings and windows, 2-4 bedrooms per apartment, and had one of those walkways connecting buildings.
You should add a closet so they can get up to couple things haha
There is showers 😂
When my daughter went to college out in Utah the school put students in apartments not dorms. She shared a very nice apartment with 3 other girls. There were 2 in a room. They had a full kitchen to cook. They took turns making meals and cleaning. There were cleaning inspections one w a month.
i’ve not been a fan for long but oh my DAYS i swear everyday the last three ish weeks i’ve come onto youtube i’ve seen a new post from u!! u work so hard and i appreciate such consistent and entertaining content ❤❤ ur such a beautiful person and i’m glad you’re so dedicated to us !
I have been using your last dorm redo for a couple years. I actually replaced all the university lots with your redos. The cafeteria you put in the dorms last time, literally saved me so much time! I like the idea of vending machines this time. I think I'll replace one of the dorms with this new one so I can have both!
I used one of these dorms to design my room for college with my mom. Only time I've used this pack intentionally. The Tidal tower looks 10% better than my actual dorm was. I had nasty blue carpet that drinks up spills but thankfully doesn't hold onto crumbs. Then the wall is literally just big bricks painted white but all the little brick dents don't really have good paint coverage. I put enough decoration and small touches into my room that it was decent. I even found a random nail/screw sticking out by the window (flat end not pointy) and hung a small thing on it. And the bathroom was a bit nasty but it worked decent. The shower water would spit out hot water sometimes. We also had dorm checks so we had to hide the cbd and nerf gun in the fridge. I also had to hide my mini waffle maker (I used it in my dorm often and had to fan it constantly when on). The dorm you made is 100% better than mine. The newer dorms at my school have wooden floors, kitchenet (no stove but room for a microwave and/or coffee machine), and maybe a minifridge or space for one. And the room itself is massive. I really liked this video. Keep up the good work.
Most dorms/student housin in my area has high ceiling. The cheap apartments in the city center are usually upper-middle class apartments from the 19. Century, which has not been properly renovated. (Yes, it is weird to walk into a student-apartment, which features stucco ceiling-rosettes and stairs in the back for the maids)
A lot of students live in those. A lot of dorms also try to similate them a bit with high ceilings as it makes a small space seem bigger.
this was such a good video! I love clutter myself (in the sims and real life 😂) I'm so excited for this series to start 🎉
i think we should all just appreciate how great simsie is for a second definitely my comfort creator
Here within the first 5 mins cause simsie is the best part of my day ❤️
Thank you for this. I went straight from you video to the gallery to upload to my Sims world. This is so much better.
I love how the shape of this build is basically the fridge bunny 😹💚
Omg I loved this building session so much!
moving into a dorm in a couple months and cant wait, luckily where i live its apartment style so u share a bathroom and kitchen with only a few people, i cant wait to decorate!
i had my desks back to back like that my freshman year of college and we LOVED it!
Rooms being smaller than the amount of people actually living there sounds pretty normal to me. Like my dorm was so small, and yet they insisted two beds, two desks, and two dressers could fit in there. It was like playing furniture Tetris every other week trying to fit our stuff
I have the previous reno you did a few years ago but this one is magnificent! Bravo Simsie!
I love your content so much, my favourite sims UA-camr! 💖💖
My dorm floor had a study lounge, & laundry room. A “room” had 4 rooms (2 bedrooms for 2 people each off a shared living room/study room, & a bathroom off the living room). They were a decent size too.
well in my country uni dorms have bedrooms of up to 6 people, some have even more lol, and there's like 2 bathrooms, decoration is prohibited, like, not even posters, nothing, we don't even have bedside tables where we can put our stuff, we just have like a wardrobe with two shelves and you have to fit all your belongings in there.
I love how this turned out!
This came out so cute, I’m definitely putting this in my game
I live in a dorm in Germany. I have my own room, my own mini kitchen, but I have to share the bathroom. Fairy lights and candles are allowed. On my floor there is a big fully equipped kitchen for everyone to use and a sad little common room.
Friends who live in a different dorm building they basically have their own apartment and don’t have to share anything.
My dorm is really nice. Its cheap, modern and comfy. Theres 2 people in every room and each has its own bathroom with a sink, shower and toilet. And on every floor (out of 4) there are two kithens with a microwave, sink, and every room has its own cabinet and mini fridge. It costs monthly around 30$, and we buy our own food.
It’s so interesting hearing other college experiences 🤡 I think I am having a quite unique experience, my dorm is a two story loft apartment 😅 we get a kitchen in our room at the cost of not having a meal plan
simsie talking about the hallways like girl there’s a hallway for my dorm that covers over 20 dorm rooms and 2 bathrooms so it’s HUGE
I love how different college is for Americans. In the Netherlands you have to rent a room somewhere in the city, so we have dorm rooms but they are not on campus or owned by campus. And you have shared kitchens and stuff, but never your room. Has nothing to do with the sims but something I always enjoy seeing haha.
I went to an older state school in the US and we had more students then housing. Freshman and sophomore dorms were in the oldest buildings, doubles that used to be singles. Triples that used to be doubles. Shared floor bathrooms for 24 people that had 4 toilet stalls and 2 showers. 1 kitchen in the whole building. I got sick constantly. I wore shower shoes and sprayed it with Lysol before using. Junior and senior housing was in newer apartment/suite style buildings, 4-6 people in a mix of single/double rooms sharing a shared living/kitchen and a split bath with separate shower/toilet rooms.
Worst case scenario in my country: shared bathroom! But NEVER shared room. So grateful rn 😂
16:38 this all came together so nice! I love it
It's wild to see how different dorms can be decorated. This is an amazing build
American dorms are SOOOO different to dorms in the UK. In England I shared with 5 other people but we each had our own room and en-suite. And then we shared a kitchen and living room area. The kitchen was a full kitchen though (oven, fridges, microwave etc. and we all had our own lockable cupboard). I would have absolutely hated sharing a bedroom with someone else. I’m quite an introverted person so I massively appreciate my own space! My friend was in slighter cheaper halls (we call dorms halls of residence (halls for short) in the UK) and he had to share a bathroom but he still has his own bedroom.
I think little welcome mats outside the dorm doors in that lil hallway couldve been a nice touch! ik me and my roomie had a lil mat for ours. Either way, love the build. Our dorm had a kitchenette on the floor but no oven either LOL
well my friend shares her room with five different people and having 2 roommates would’ve been a miracle (plus they don’t even have personal desks they only have a big table and 6 chairs around it )😔😔 in my country like even having rooms per one person is really rare if you aren’t staying at a private dorm
i play in the foxbury dorm that you built before this and speaking for my sim, they love it
I love the different experiences we all have in college. My dorm had two rooms and a bathroom in the middle
Making dorms in the sims 4 is so fun. It's a pretty big project but fun to do with fun cool places or 2 story dorm rooms
The thing that saves my university gameplay is having a stereo so my sims can listen to their favorite style of music while they do their homework, that way they can study for hours and still have their fun levels in the max. It may be even more cheating than having a fancy tv, but hey it works.
For all the challenges it posed, I'm still SO glad I never stayed in a dorm throughout college lol
In my US dorm, we had four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a common room, and a kitchenette per dorm. So I had my own room, shared a bathroom with one person, and shared the common and kitchen area with three people. It was really nice homestly
My freshman dorm in college had a full kitchen, but it was rarely used (I was the only one who would clean it after use, so that might have been part of it), but most of the freshmen dorms didn't. We had 6 freshman dorms, 3 old, 3 newer, and the newer ones had AC and kitchens. Most upperclassman housing was house or apartment-style dorms.
I've lived in two dorms at the same campus. Both had pretty high ceilings (we had loft beds) and one was a shared room and a floor bathroom. The other was more aparment like. I had my own room, a shared living room, bathroom, and kittchenett with my roommate. I loved having my own room.
You should make a video on the newest scenario: Family Fortune. I tried it and struggled a lot so I think it might be a more difficult one? But its a really fun concept!
1:35 as a person from another country there are even 5 ppl in one room with bathroom in the hallways so yeah. There are options with 2-3 people in the room and personal bathroom but those dorms are more expensive
living for the idea that the trash chutes just drop the trash in the elevator shaft and the elevator smells absolutely horrendous for the sims
I’m in the USA, and I’ve been through some newly built dorms at a big university, and while there are similarities, I do want to say this dorm is a really nice dorm, very luxurious. Wow Kayla!
It’s a shame the lots don’t have access to the bottom floor. That’s typically where most of the common use spaces are. Also, on multi-floor dorms, many buildings have a “trash room” next to the elevator and depending on how many rooms were on the floor, there would also be a room assigned to your “RA”. Basically, they’re supposed to be your “go to” person if you need room repairs/maintenance, as well as if you are having problems with roommates or floor mates. Some places I’ve seen had small units with a kitchenette, a table with 4 chairs, and a small living room, all with 2 rooms and 1 bathroom on each side. So, all totaled, 4 small rooms, and 2 bathrooms.
i remember it being a MASSIVE scandal at my UK university when students were forced to share rooms due to lack of space, like the local mp was even getting involved.
that said the room sizes themselves were, in sim translation, about 4x6 tiles including the bathroom (shower, sink and toilet), bed, desk, bedside table and wardrobe with two communal kitchens, sixteen people per floor. US rooms seem to be large enough that two people sharing do have a little more space to exist, and presumably there's at least a little effort made to match people with compatible personalities.
You can't have a stove in the student dorms, but you CAN have one of those food counters that're placed in the university communal lots - and a sim will come serve food at mealtimes. So convenient.
In my country we do have dorms but you never have to share a room. Bathroom and kitchen you sometimes share. And they can be co-ed when everyone is cool with it. But most dorms are one bedroom apartments. And it's not mandatory to live in a dorm. Most students live in private apartments.
When I studied in the USA for a year, I was shocked when I had to sleep with a complete stranger in a room. 😅
I'm doing the same in sims 2. And I'm in a dorm right now. Hearing that you don't get kitchens in US dorms is weird, we get two kitchens per floor, the best room I was in had it's own kitchen. And only the worst dorm I was in had hallway bathrooms, one other had jack'n'jills.
Ferry lights started a fire in the dorms of the boarding school in our town. They fell in a trash can with some paper in it and overheated. One eleven years old kid died that night. That is why they are so strikt with anything that could start a fire.
My dorm had no kitchen of any kind in the building. We did have laundry rooms, shared bathrooms, shared rooms, and a little store to buy snacks.
i lived in the towers dorms at UCF, which were like the """nice""" ones and oh my god i wish they had even a fraction of the nice things you built in this dorm.
but no sharing bedrooms was awesome
I was an RA at my university and I promise some people really went all out decorating their rooms. I never did because of how short I was there but I loved seeing people make it homey
Also the way the only thing between the dorm and a four story fall is that tiny fence. Normal colleges know that the amount of students throwing themselves off from there would not be worth the pretty aesthetics.
I never play the university yet and watch lilsimsie she is like a teacher and I enjoy watching :)
We have singles, doubles or single suites at my school , max amount of ppl you share a bathroom with is maybe 3 other people (even 8 person suites get 2 bathrooms) we have green and like beige walls and every building has a demo kitchen (full kitchen to share with like 100ish people)
We aren’t allowed to have candles but the school really isnt strict on it and off campus housing has kitchenettes (without ovens but with stove tops)
The more i think about it im lowkey veryyy privileged with this school 😭
( i put alot of effort into my lil purple single ✨)
putting that much effort into dorms is big art bachelors degree energy
Dorm rooms in the US is the reason why I’m living at home for college. The state university closest to me does have apartments you can rent on campus though
Love your sims videos❤❤❤
I recently redid the dorms at Foxbury and had so much fun - nice way to change up the game when I got bored
Tbf, I put a LOT of effort into my dorms. Mostly because I've been dreaming of uni for a long time and getting my own space, and also I knew I was spending most of my time in them. I have trouble making and keepingg friends, and I didn't venture off campus until like sophomore year.
Anyway, I had a bunch of fake plants, fairylights, candles (hidden during room inspections of course), tea bars, "fancy" curtains" portait wall, a flag of my home country, etc. Each year had a different 'theme". It honestly looked like I truly lived there--Which I did. Bc if I wasn't in class or the library, good chances I was in my dorm.
.... Yes moving out was always a nightmare lol😅
American style dorm rooms are even smaller. Like bunk beds is the main type of bed in most universities.
I’m starting uni in the uk in September. I’ve got my accommodation and I was NOT sharing my bathroom so I got an ensuite. In the uk most bedroom have their own desk and wardrobe as well
The dorm my sibling stayed at doubled as a hotel for the summer. Two bedrooms, each had one queen bed and a closet. Then there was a kitchenette and a small dining table and a small bathroom to the side
this is making me want to play uni. you should upload the save when you’re done so we can play along 💛🫶🏽
i love that the building looks like the shape of the social bunny thing in game
Literally watching this from the eastern european university dorm, sharing room with two more students and having only one desk we all need🥲🥲
this video brought tears to my eyes the floor is making me cry i am sorry!
Love how the build turned out! I have to say.. You have a clone that works at my local Subway in Australia 🇦🇺
