'''Dormitories''', also known as '''dorms''' foror short'''university housing''', are a special type of [[residential lot]] that can only be found in [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]] [[sub-neighborhood]]s. They appear in ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: University Life]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University|The Sims 4: Discover University]]''.

Dorms return in ''[[The Sims 4: Discover University]]'', where they are called "university housing". Pre-made dorms can be found in the world of [[Britechester]], but they can be built in any non-vacation world. Dorms can be turned into [[Greek house|sororities or fraternities]] by setting gender restrictions in their configuration panels. Other options that can be chosen are which university the dorm belongs to, and if it's restricted to a particular [[organization]] or [[Club (The Sims 4: Get Together)|club]]{{Vgversion|TS4GT}}.<ref name="Sims Community livestream summary">https://simscommunity.info/2019/11/09/discover-university-everything-we-learned-from-the-deep-dive-livestream/</ref>

===Editing and building university housing===
Britechester has both ground-level lots as well as [[penthouse]] lots, which can both be converted into dorms. Ground-level dorms require four [[bed]]s, one [[toilet]] and one [[shower]]. In addition to that, penthouse dorms also require an [[elevator]], a trash chute and a penthouse mailbox. [[Stove]]s and [[grill]]s are forbidden in dorms, though [[Food stand|cafeteria stations]] and [[microwave]]s are allowed. The [[vending machine]]s from ''[[Snowy Escape]]'' can also be placed, and are functional.
 
As long as playable students are living in a university housing lot, it cannot be edited in [[Build mode (The Sims 4)|build mode]] without using the bb.enablefreebuild cheat. If the player would like to build on the lot without cheats, the household first has to be moved out.
 
===Dorm life===
[[File:TS4DU Promo 4.jpg|thumb|250px|right|University housing bedroom.]]
There can be up to ten Sims living in a dorm, and the playable household counts towards the limit. So, for example, there could be three playable students and seven NPC students. The amount of roommates that show up depend on the number of beds in a dorm. NPC roommates are assigned hidden "archetypes" that determine how they behave in a dorm: some will litter more often, some will be more studious, some will throw parties, etc.
 
A scheduled [[maid]] will arrive once a week to clean the lot, at no extra cost to the residents. Residents can also hire a [[repairman]] for free.
