No Greek options on the phone
jolrei:
Any ideas why my sim students have no Greek house joining options on the phone? I send a student to Uni (La Fiesta Tech at present, which has default Greek houses), and they move into the dorm. Everything works fine. No errors have been logged. They make friends, they become Big Sim, they uselessly join the SS, they ACR woohoo like mad. The only thing they can never do seems to be joining a greek house.
My thinking is that this could be related to:
1) Not enough dormies - perhaps the population of the Uni is too small (the whole uni has only 15 dormies in total).
2) Work of the non-awesome - although I have ONLY Awesome hacks (updated and checked) and Twojeffs stuff (oh, yes, and the Crammyboy nudist hack and Insim).
3) My sims that I wanted to do this were too advanced in their studies (does this only work prior to Junior year?)
Generally I don't play Greek houses, since I like the dorm ACR and fight possibilities, but I thought I might at least try it once to see if it's any good.

IIRC you'll only have the option to found a Greek house, and only if your YA lives on his/her own lot. To join, your sim must be invited by someone who's already a member, which might be the reason why the pre-made Greek houses are occupied by playables. I may be wrong, though, I'm not that familiar with Greek houses, either...
Gwill:
Are there any greek house members? If you're using a clean template there won't be.
You can't start a greek house if you're in a dorm, you'll only be able to call the exsisting greeks over, but if there are none, that won't be possible either.

Ah, well, there's part of my problem then. As far as I know, there are no Greeks. I've taken nodormieregen out for the moment in the hope that perhaps the game will create a couple. I was vainly following the game guide which simply said "have your sim call the greek house to join it, and then make relationships with Greek members." I should have realized that the game would not compensate for the clean templates (all my current dormies are CAS created).
If the game does create a couple of Greeks (face templates installed to hopefully avoid fugly dormies), I suppose I'll be able to join the existing Greek houses. If not, I can always try creating my own Greek house. Maybe I'll bulldoze the default ones, or rezone them as dorms or residential.
jsalemi:
Greeks aren't created automatically by the game. The ones that come with the default Unis are EAxis-made playables. You'd have to start your own greek house in a clean template uni.
