This video is family friendly, but The Sims 4 is rated T for Teen and this video is intended for an audience aged 13 and up.

Simsie saying that she’s not going for a “nice” dorm is so funny to me because this whole build makes my dorm experience look like I was living in complete squalor.

[thatspeachy]

as a current college student and RA, you’d be surprised how much effort people put into decorating their dorms nowadays. when my siblings were in school they barely decorated but it’s actually really uncommon for me now to see a plain room during room checks!

Dorms are so wierd. When I was studying in Japan, one of my friends got a single room with a full bathroom in it, another friend got a single room, but the building didn't have any ways to take a shower, so she had to go another building across the road, and I didn't get a dorm room at all and rented an apartment.
All of us were on the same program, in the same class.

The opposite dorm tower should be mirrored but you could change all the red swatches to yellow so it's still Foxbury vibes but there's like the "red" dorms and the "yellow" dorms

Laughing to myself as Simsie puts a thermostat in. My dorm had no AC and the heaters were so poor that in the winter we would have ice on the inside of windows 😂

The fact that US dorms and bathrooms are shared between u and a stranger would be enough to make me never go to Uni lol

[melonysnicket]

it honestly is so much fun to hear you talk about your college experience (especially as a non-american college student who lives with their parents still) and see you having so much fun building this according to regulations that don't exist in sims LOL i love this type of video!

[net_has]

wait FAIRY LIGHTS were banned in her dorm? that’s quintessential dorm decor right there damn

[sirromap]

Interesting note. You can't create a dorm with a stove or grill... But grills can fit in your personal inventory. While at school you can bring your own grill.

The way US dorms dont have kitchens in each floor is wild to me as a British student who just moved out of uni accom. Each floor was divided into flats of 4-10 ish people with a shared kitchen/common room and unless you wanted to walk 15 minutes across the city centre and shops to the student cafe there wasn't a cafeteria

[alexthepotato]

As a former RA It’s funny to me when Simsies talks about the room checks. I hated having to bust residents about candles and air fryers but it’s better then someone burning the dorm down lmao

[LuxSerafina]

I was JUST scouring the gallery for the perfect redo - can’t wait to see what you do! I’ve actually been enjoying university gameplay again to get a break from the infants lol

I still can't get over the idea of sharing a literal bedroom with a stranger, as an adult. I went to Uni here in Australia, and our accommodation had wings of ten to twenty single-person rooms, with a shared multi-person bathroom and a big shared common room (kitchenette + shared living room, basically) per wing. Pretty basic, but at least we had privacy. (And candles. And fairy lights.) Thinking about it, I might do a Foxbury dorm reno to turn them into Aussie-style Uni accommodation, that could be fun!

The Snowy Escape *Hot pot is allowed* for some reason, so you can have actual food.

[randostuff]

highschool years was like a sequel to discover university to me. Being able to go with your sims to school, plus teenage stuff.

My freshman dorm building was from like 1920 and if you plugged in more than one hairdryer at a time, it turned off the entire electricity in the area. The first night (in a semi-desert area in August with no central air), someone plugged in a separate AC unit and the entire floor didn't have electricity for like 12 hours. They finally redid the entire building the year after I graduated lol.

I used to be grumpy about the lack of stoves in university housing (my dorm had shared kitchens- *full* kitchens- on alternating floors in the common room, and the off-campus apartments each had legit kitchens), but then I put a sim through getting a degree. Her roommates brought home so much food I never managed to finish it before she graduated

[sophiejah]

as someone who lives in the uk, sharing a room with a stranger for uni would make me actually want to die

[lilyn]

My dorm was in the brand new building on campus and I was the first group of people living there. It was sparkling and clean and had GREAT bathrooms with individual stalls (in one "bathroom" room in the hall) made up of showers, toilets, and sinks. It even had AC it was amazing lol

[Rooftone]

I rebuilt these dorms once and I made everything inside one of them aggressively yellow just to make my sims' miserable. Walls, floor, furniture, lights, decor, everything was bright yellow.
