Line 12:
When in a college sub-neighborhood, the Specialty Lots section of the [[Lots and Houses Bin]] will contain pre-made dormitories of various sizes and designs. The pre-made dormitories in this section range in size from as few as 5 rooms to as many as 16. Also, each pre-made college has three or four dormitories of various sizes. Players should keep in mind that larger dorms with more residents will use more computer resources, and will be harder for the playable Sims to keep tidy.
Even though only playable Sims receive [[bill]]s, it is assumed that all students in the dorm are billed the same, so the Dormies reduce the amount of the playable household's bills.<ref group="n">Each dorm resident's share of the bills is determined by dividing the dorm's total bills by the number of Myne Doors. If a custom dorm does not have any Myne Doors, the game will generate a divide-by-zero error. The [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,2689.0.html DormBillFix] mod from MATY fixes this.</ref><ref group="n">Delivery of bills to dorms has been observed to be haphazard. For any given dorm, they may arrive normally, or stop arriving after having come for a while, or resume after having stopped for a while, or never start arriving at all. The mail carrier has also been seen to arrive, look at the mailbox, then leave without putting anything into, or taking anything out of, the mailbox.</ref>
If a '''ShinyTyme Cooktop''' stove is present on the lot, an NPC cook will arrive at 4AM every morning to prepare and serve food for the residents, and will leave around midnight. There are cases where the cook may fail to return to the dorm after their shift ends. Playable students on a lot with a cafeteria can be directed to work in it, and will earn money as they do. The player can tell a Sim working in the cafeteria to quit by canceling the action.
Line 43 ⟶ 45:
The rest of a dorm contains study, recreational and lounging areas with hallways. All dorms have 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 even sometimes a [[coffeemaker]]s. All dorms will have at least one [[bookcase]], computer and a [[telephone]]. There may or may not be vacant desks for doing class assignments.
