Players can also create dormitories. To make a dormitory, create a residential lot, then using the appropriate [[The Sims 2: University/cheats#Neighborhood Cheats|cheat code]] to zone it as a dormitory. This rezoning should be done ''before'' any Sims have moved into the lot.
When building or modifying a dormitory, each '''Myne Door''' must be placed so the picture area faces outward, and there should only be one door leading into a dorm room. This means that multiple-occupancy rooms are not possible, nor are "suites" in which two dorm rooms share a bathroom.
As dormitories function fundamentally just like ordinary residential lots, there isn't any strict requirements as to what requires to be in a dorm. Player only needs to provide objects that cater for the playable Sim’s needs and builds that help them excel in [[class performance]], and are just essential (telephone, computer, etc.) in gameplay outside the college sub-hood. Since dormitories accommodates npc dormies, establishing a cafeteria and public bathroom facilities is very advisable. Additionally, 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.
A dormitory {{Confirm|must}} have a cafeteria with a '''[[Stove#ShinyTyme Cooktop|ShinyTyme Cooktop]]''', counter islands, and a sink or dishwasher. Since the cafeteria worker can burn food and will occasionally start a [[fire]], there should be a '''[[Skimmer Securities Ceiling Sprinkler]]''' above the cooktop. The cafeterias in the pre-made dormitories all have [[refrigerator]]s, but that is not required. If a refrigerator is present, the cafeteria worker will not use it when making food, but dorm residents will be able to take food from it.▼
===Premade dorms===
ormitories usually consist of four amenities: a cafeteria, study/lounge room, bathrooms with showers, and dormie rooms.
Cafeterias are built with a kitchen and an open dining area. Pre-made dormitories all have a refrigerator, island counters, a sink or/and a dishwasher, [[garbage can]]] or trash compactor. The cafeteria functions by a special stove, ShinyTyme Cooktop, which summons a cook for the duty. Since the cafeteria worker can burn food and will occasionally start a [[fire]], there is always a '''[[Skimmer Securities Ceiling Sprinkler]]''' present above the cooktop.
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.▼
Many pre-made dorms use communal bathrooms with toilet stalls and several '''Strut Your Stuff''' communal showers, but some use ordinary bathrooms. Bathrooms may or may not have a mirror, but otherwise a single one is present outside of them.

The rest of a dorm contains study, recreational and lounging areas with hallways. All dorms items for building [[creativity (skill)|creativity]] (an easel) and [[logic]] (a [[telescope]], [[chess table]] or both) skills, [[electronics]] ([[television]]s and [[stereo]]s by default), [[Fun|recreational items]] ([[pinball]] or [[arcade machine]], a [[dartboard]]) and areas for lounging (chairs, sofas and loveseats). Some dormitories may have [[Refrigerator#"MMM" Mini Fridge|mini-fridges]] and [[microwave]]s, and sometimes a [[coffeemaker]]s. All dorms will have at least one bookcase, computer and a telephone. There may or may not be available desk for doing class assignments.
