Dormitory: Difference between revisions

All dorm rooms should have a [[bed]]. While the Dormies do not actually get into the beds in their rooms when they sleep, the quality of the bed in a Dormie's room determines how quickly he or she regains comfort and energy while sleeping. The premade dormitories will generally use the '''Craftmeister's Pine Bed''' or '''Caress of Teak Bed''' from the base game or the '''Flowin' Protozoan Single Bed''' from the ''University'' expansion pack.

 

While living in a dormitory, playable [[Sim]]s live with young adult [[Townie#The Sims 2|Townies]], who are often referred to as "Dormies". Even though only playable Sims receive bills, it is assumed that all students in the dorm are billed the same, so the Dormies reduce the amount of the playable household's [[bill]]s. However, Dormies cannot be asked to join the household, and playable Sims moving out of the dorm cannot have Dormies move out with them. Individual Dormies living in a dorm will come and go at random; the player has no control over this.

 

 

 

There are two main advantages to dorm life. One is that it's cheap. There is no cost to move into a dorm, and bills are low. While the cafeteria has a limited selection, the food is free, plentiful, and available at almost all hours. Of course, Sims can still cook their own food in the kitchen whenever they wish, as long as there is a refrigerator.

 

Plumbing, appliances, and electronics never break on dormitory lots, even if heavily used. Also, even shy Sims do not object to doing their private activities in front of others, even if they would be unhappy to use a public toilet on other lots.

 

Dorm life does have its disadvantages, which mostly center around the Dormies.
