No Uni Invulnerability For Dormies
J. M. Pescado:
Yeah, that looks more like college as I remember it.

All I have to say is make sure your dorm room is locked if you install this. I've caught quite a few dormies sleeping in my bed. >:(
On the other hand I'm seeing all sorts of desperation icons popping up over their heads now. One had a bladder desperation. But saddly he didn't pee himself. :(
Yeah, I noticed the bed-hogging as well. Even the cow mascot comes and sleeps in my bed when nobody even invited the evil sod into my house, nevermind my bed. I'm going to make a special dormie pen, where all the dormie's doors lead to the same tiny room where they can go and disappear whenever they want - then I'll put beds for them in normal rooms and lock my door.
I'd never had a dormie death accidentally before I installed this, btw - I just noticed when I zoomed out that somebody was curled up at the very edge of my lot. And they pee themselves ALL the time now, which is nice, but it means the maid goes into their rooms to clean up their puddles then gets locked in for days.
Some amusing college pictures below (the third dormie is being punished in a cell for her constant fighting):

:D Those pics are funny. I am pretty sure I have this hack installed and thus far, have yet to see the effects on any of my dormies. *shrugs*
They still seem pretty "invulnerable" but I guess they've all just been lucky. I also had a sim that seemed to be stuck doing research for what may have been days, if not at least several hours. I was barely paying attention when I noticed the same sim stuck on the couch doing group reseach. She might have possibly wandered away when I wasn't looking and came back. I guess she just really loves to do research? :P At one point, I was sick of her hoggin up the couch, preventing other sims from "enjoying" the Sports Party I was throwing. ::) I also noticed that often, when she comes back from class, she is one of those, what I like to call "low inertia" dormies, who just stand around for hours on end either in front of the toilet, next the mailbox, or in a corner just staring at the wall. I mean, I know they have very low A.I., but this is ridiculous!
At least I finally stuck in some tweaks of my own so that the dormies aren't Always gallavanting around in their freakin bathing suits. You set one hot tub on the roof, and Every sim and their mother has to sit in it and relax. And they never put on their regular clothes back! I know it's college, and you can pretty much wear whatever you want, but jeez, have some sense of decency. ::) At least now I don't have dormies constantly going to class in their bikinis or swim trunks and bare feet. ::)

Who did the hack that stopped non-playables from wasting all your Love Tub charge? I think it's bundled with Pescado's asp recharger mod. I only ever use the love tub because then *I* can decide when people are allowed to sit in *my* hot tub, instead of everybody just deciding to plonk themselves in it when I want a free space for a controllable sim. I don't know anybody with a hot tub IRL, but if I did, I wouldn't just go and stick my fat ass in it as soon as I walked in their door for god's sake. Especially if I'd only just met them.
My dormies stand around uselessly a lot more, too. Not sure why - it's maybe because sans-hack they go and research or play the drums for three semesters at a time, and with the hack they have to use the toilet and eat and stuff instead. And sometimes don't really need to do anything, so just stand around vacuously.
Ancient Sim:
Mine always have used the toilet and eaten and taken baths and the rest of it, it just seemed pretty pointless when walking through the door of their room would instantly reset them. I'm assuming that this resetting is gone with this mod - certainly hope so, anyway. Not sure what effect it will have on my two YA vamps if they appear again - one was a dormie but isn't anymore and she spent the entire day re-appearing and disappearing on the lot, then when she could have been up and about she wasn't because the game insisted on sending her to 'bed' at 10 pm. Once she was stood standing in her room for 3 days [OK oldie Brits, who was it used to say "stood standing". Was it Hylda Baker? I know it ages me, whoever it was).
