Can I delete a university in game?
Sivany:
I have a neighbourhood that I've been playing on and off ever since the base game came out and when the uni ep came out I added one of the standard Maxis unis to it. Later on I decided I'd rather have a custom uni and added a second university hood to the game.
Is it safe for me to delete the first university hood? All the professors and dormies from that hood appear in the second uni hood so I assume they are shared between the two, are they specifically linked to the first uni hood though?
cascaneda:
Yes you can delete the university. all the students, NPC and professors will remain in the game.
If you used dorms in the deleted university and dormies already moved in they'll retain the previous information about their room and will not re-appear as residents in the new nuniversity. If you had several dorms the game will create new dormies instead of reusing the existing now homeless ones.
jsalemi:
Unless you use Pescado's nodormieregen hack, which stops the game from making new ones. Very recommended, especially if you're going to delete a university. Also, before you delete the uni you should go to any dorms in it that have playables in them and move the playables out to the student bin first. Then you can delete the uni.
TwoJeffs college dormie controller also reuses existing dormies first, and gives you the ability to choose the gender. You can find the original over on inteen, or Ste's modified version that includes Pescado's noundeaddormies here in Ste's forums.
Sivany:
Thanks for the advice. I was worried that deleting the uni might delete the sims and cause problems and I hadn't thought about moving the playables that came with the 'hood to the sim bin (like the Greek House people) so it's a good job I checked. I have both those hacks you mentioned jsalemi already so I guess I'm good to go!

I'm assuming this resets the dorms (removing non-playable residents) and avoids the issue of non-playable dormies thinking they live in a dorm at a uni that no longer exists, making them show up normally in the new uni. Is this right?
