How to generate dormies?

[missaaliyah]

I am using the cleaned up templates for my game, with all the necessary hacks etc...  Of course, when playing in a dorm, no dormies are generated.  How to I generate them?  Thanks.

Take out nodormieregen, and move into a dorm.  Dormies will spawn.

I dont want the ugly dormies though.  Is there another way?

You can create them in YACAS, move them into an empty residential lot in the Uni subhood and use Inge's teleporter to add them to the Townie pool. Since they are YAs they'll become dormies.

Either, use face templates, or make them all manually the way gynarchy said.

I use Zazazu's face templates, but there are quite a few out there.  Nailati's templates are very popular.  The advantage of face templates is that you can either take out nodormieregen, or spawn them from the mailbox in batches.  This generally eliminates (or reduces) the fugly incidence.

Advantage of creating your own in YACAS is that you get total control of facial features and names.

I flip in mine, Nailati's, Bruna's, Starlit's, and Terrakosmos's, once a generation, when I generate five kids and age the townies whose turns are up.

I like the CAYAS option better, because you never need any more dormies than the biggest dorm can hold. =p

Youch!  Too much like work for me.

Neh. It's not that bad. Takes maybe an hour to switch templates, roll aspirations for the new teens, do an aging round, and hit up the townie gun for five kids. It makes the populace change a bit, which is nice. Also makes me change things up...I'm losing a girl I wanted to marry in due to the fact that she's nearly an elder and none of the eligible boys like her. I also have to have a family sim twiddling his thumbs for about a week until his girlfriend he's so in love with grows into an adult.

I'm currently playing with Amber's default replacements, I love them!

thank you for your suggestions, i take it that the gun think from the testingcheatsenabled cheat can then generate them.  or with the mailbox.  i think i will create then in YA CAS and do it manually with either Inge's teleport or gun/maillbox
