===Editing and building dormitories===
Dormitories can be edited, but some [[Buy mode|buy]] and [[build mode]] tools, and most build mode categories, will be unavailable unless the [[The Sims 2: University/cheats#Build Cheats|cheat code]] <code>boolProp dormSpecificToolsDisabled</code> is set to <code>false</code>. By default, players can only modify flooring, wall coverings, terrain and [[garden|flora]], and can access [[gardening]] tools if ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons|Seasons]]'' is installed. There are fewer restrictions when it comes to buy mode objects; players can freely purchase, rearrange, or sell buy mode objects, even in communal areas. In addition, buy mode will be disabled unless the cheat code is used or the dorm is occupied. Even when using the cheat code, pre-placed doors and windows in premade dormitories may remain uneditable, unless the <code>moveobjects on</code> cheat is used.
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.
Line 20:
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.
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.
Dormitories may also have [[Refrigerator#"MMM" Mini Fridge|mini-fridges]] and microwaves. Some pre-made dormitories have [[coffeemaker]]s. Dormitories should also have bathrooms with [[shower]]s. Many pre-made dorms use communal bathrooms with toilet stalls and several '''Strut Your Stuff''' communal showers, but some use ordinary bathrooms. If ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' or later is installed, the player can lock a bathroom door so that only the selected Sim can use it. While this can give a playable Sim privacy in a non-communal bathroom, the player must remember to unlock the door when the Sim is finished. Most dormitories will have at least one bookcase and computer, and some pre-made dorms have one or two rooms which have a computer. Most dormitories will also have items for building [[creativity (skill)|creativity]] and [[logic]], [[Fun|recreational items]], and areas for lounging or doing class assignments.
