Custom-created dormies/Uni NPCs with the teleporter shrub
ZephyrZodiac:
Also, if you have a flat roof over part of your bedroom floor, or a large balcony, you could put an outside staircase up and they should just use that instead if their is a routing problem with the stairs. (Always providing you have noroutefail in your hacks...)
Inge:
Yeah lol this is a Maxis house and it came with a one-piece staircase, so I am not altogether surprised. But they're my test sims anyway so I don't mind if they'd rather stomp at the foot of the stairs than actually enjoy themselves. :D
ZephyrZodiac:
Don't they have a sofa or a hot tub?

In that case, neither am I. Add a pet, and you have a 100 % birth control rate. By the way, pets use the Targa stairs as well, but the animations are funky. Funny, but funky. The pet moves as if actual stairs are present, so it looks as it the dog/cat is moving on air in an upward/downward slope. But that's still not enough for me to quit using them.
I also have had the same experiences as Jolrei. So I have a batch of YA's in the simbin that I made in BodyShop. I just tweak them a little because I usually make about 16, and then import them via Inge's (very decorative) cat into the dormie pool. 4 boys and 4 girls at a time. I have a special lot I use. It has a 3 space wall for Merola's painting so I can alter them to my taste.
I have downloaded your one tile 'Merola' painting, Inge. That was a great idea, by the way - Merola's painting is quite useful, but it does need a lot of wall space. Now there's more variety.
I like being in complete control of my sims, down to their personality, interests, and DNA. I never go with the EAxis selections, mainly because they, as usual, suck.

Yeah, well, my problem right now is that I can't quit making the damn things. I go into CAS (fatal error) and suddenly come up with someone I like ("Oh, he/she has to be in the game!"). I just created 3 more tonight (the hard way - individual adults, one at a time, for the main hood - I didn't want to muck about with relationships in SimPE - silly jolrei. I think I'll make two of them zombies and test the zombieapocalypse hack - never seen that in action yet. I'll probably decimate the non-zombie population of the hood, with my luck. :P
I always use romancemod and ACR together (well, always since I first loaded ACR last week ::) ). However, I never really expected that this would eliminate extramarital romantic action fully. Consequently, if I don't want any more spawn from a particular couple, I will rule out "try for baby" for those sims, at the very least. For uni students, I don't manage their relationships at all. My playable student right now has woohooed two girls in his dorm (both seem to be OK with this - nice romancemod), and is headed for a third (there are only 5 sims in the dorm ;D ).
For my houses, I got tired of waiting for sims to walk slowly up and down stairs, so now I try to build on one floor, as much as possible and avoid stairs. That also means limiting the size of family in a house at one time. I generally don't have more than 2 parents and 2 spawn at any one time living on a single lot. That way the house doesn't get too sprawled out.
