Line 34:
Individual Dormies living in a dorm will come and go at random; the player has no control over this. When playable Sims living in a dorm visit a campus community lot, Dormies living in the dorm may appear, even if they were in the dorm when the playable Sims left.
Dormitory rooms use the '''[[Door#Myne Door|Myne Door]]'''. This door is able to be "claimed" by a single Sim, making a room his/hers and giving him/her the ability to restrict access to the room. After a household of students move in, dormies will start moving into the dorms and begin claiming rooms for themselves. Players are given a slight head-start (about an hour of game time) to claim the rooms they want the playable Sims to have. After a Sim has claimed a room, his or her picture will appear on the door. This picture will not change if the Sim's appearance is changed, but the player can update the picture of a playable Sim by having that Sim unclaim and reclaim the room. Some dormies will spend time in their rooms with locked doors or unlocked at other times. Rooms with locked doors will have a "no entry" sign on the front. Dormies who enter their rooms will "disappear" and turn invisible, and their room will fade out; how they spend their time in there is indicated by a thought bubble that appears outside of the door, which can indicate if they're sleeping or away. Other Sims are unable to enter their rooms when they're locked, except under special circumstances. Sometimes, a Dormie will not fade all the way in when leaving his or her room, and will appear translucent. This is simply a graphical glitch, and does not affect gameplay; affected Dormies will appear normal after they shower or after they leave the lot and return to it.
Once a Dormie claims a room in a dorm, it appears that he or she becomes associated with that dorm, and will not move into another. If there are more unclaimed rooms than there are "unassociated" Dormies to claim them, the game will generate new Dormies to claim those rooms. It is possible for a newly generated Dormie to become sidetracked before managing to claim a room. Even if there are sidetracked Dormies in the dorm, the game will continue to generate Dormies until all rooms are claimed. Dormies who miss out on claiming a room become "unassociated".
Dormies that are not in their rooms and are not currently in class may be in the communal areas either interacting with objects, socializing, or doing assignments. Playable Sims can perform any social interaction with them, although they cannot [[WooHoo]] or try for babies with them.
Line 41 ⟶ 43:
If playable Sims are merged into a dorm household, an equivalent number of dormies will move out. The player has no control over which ones move out. There is a bug where dormies may not move out when this happens, however.
If a Dormie is moved into a playable household, either on or off campus, his or her room will become unclaimed, and the game will generate a new one to take his or her place, unless an "unassociated" Dormie is available. However, the former Dormie may still remain in the dorm for a while, unless a playable Sim says goodbye to them.
Dorms may be visited by [[mascot]]s, [[cheerleader]]s, or [[coach]]es from time to time. Professors and [[streaker]]s may also pay a visit.
