===Dormies===
While living in a dormitory, playable [[Sim]]s live with young adult [[Townie#The Sims 2|Townies]], who are often referred to as "Dormies". These are spawned and summon only If there are any '''[[Door#Myne Door|Myne Door]]''', assuming If a dorm can function without these installed doors. However, if a dorm has less rooms than there are number of household's members, it is possible for all dorm rooms to be claimed by playable Sims, and thus allow them to live without dormies.
Dormies that are not in their rooms and are not currently in class may be in the communal areas either interacting with objects, socializing, doing assignments, or doing research. Playable Sims can perform any social interaction with them, although they cannot [[WooHoo]] or try for babies with them.▼
Dormies, however, cannot be asked to join the household, regardless of their relationship with the playable Sims. When Dormies living in the dorm are clicked on, the "Propose... Move In" interaction will not appear. It will appear if the Dormie does not live in the dorm, but using it does not seem to have any effect. Also, playable Sims moving out of the dorm cannot have Dormies move out with them.
===Editing and building dormitories===
Line 55 ⟶ 59:
To maximize frame rate, rooms claimed by dormies appear empty, and Sims in them are not animated, unless a playable Sim walks into them. Sims in a Dormie's room cannot be interacted with, and objects in that room will not be used, unless a playable Sim is in the room. However, the contents of these rooms, and any Sims that are in them, become visible if the player enters Buy or Build modes, or accesses a Sim's [[inventory]].
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>
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.
▲Dormies that are not in their rooms and are not currently in class may be in the communal areas either interacting with objects, socializing, doing assignments, or doing research. Playable Sims can perform any social interaction with them, although they cannot [[WooHoo]] or try for babies with them.
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.
