Not my scene, but you sound desparate

Dorms can only be created in a University.
Once created and played it can be packaged to the lots bin.
Somewhere there is a way of changing the lot type (change it to residential)
Once classed as residential, you can plop it into your base neighborhood.

But it might not be a good idea to have dormies as well, left-over memories and all

Hope this helps

something like that ... bored to have 2 an empty uni hood, more than other 

ah... yes..
that should work, i could use the cheat "changeLotZoning" i'll try it thnx 


that work.. but only for the stundets inside the dorm.
if you have some guys on the uni's catalog you can't put em on the "customed dorm" 'cause you didn't have 'em on the base hood but just on the uni's hood :\
that's a problem....

It's really not a good idea to change zoning on a lot with people living on it.  I've even had it mess up with only NPC's living in the dorm when changing the zoning while still in the Uni sub-hood. And since YA's only exist in Uni neighborhoods, it's an extra bad idea to move them to a regular neighborhood.  Basically, you'd just be begging to have that lot go kaplooie.

I'm not sure what you're question is here.

Are you trying to put the building in a main hood and have your (non-YA) sim live with non-controllable sims?

Or are you trying to find a way that your YA sim can live in the main neighbourhood and still be a uni student, rather than having to live in an empty Uni hood?

Either way, I don't think it's possible.

If you want to find a college full with dorms (I saw one with 16 rooms, and many with 8 rooms) - it's the Fiesta University.

Can you control 16 playable sims?

thats possible, Squinge has a few hacks for that, I'm planning on trying them out after Pets comes out (and hacks get updated)
