YA pregnancy?

That is true, and it also causes other problems such as the baby not aging plus the baby cannot be moved back to the neighbouhood without a cheat. I thought I'd mention it as I recently moved a sim into my Greek house and he started to show :)

There is a way to move kids and other folks back from the university without resorting to hacks or cheats.
Have a sim who lives in the main neighborhood invite the folks with kids to move in. They can bring their kids with them. You can always just have them move right back out again if they're entering the wrong household, and you'll have them back in the sim bin where you wanted them.
When sent my star line family to college (ref: Chapter 22 in Tales of Happy Valley), I used on-site sims as anchor points at both ends to invite them to and from college. No problems.
Sim babies that are conceived on campus don't seem to develop until the parent moves back to town. However, if a sim is pregnant when she moves to campus, they will be born on campus. This happened in my game, in the case of Meadow Thayer:
Meadow's twins were born on campus during an early morning jam session.
Amusement: It had been months since I last played the household where Meadow was living. When I sent her off to college, I was unaware that she was pregnant. So she surprised me with this baby bomb when she popped into the second trimester after registering for college!

I'm afraid that doesn't seem to work SimsHost. Sims in the regular neighbourhood can only invite YA townies to move in and they immediately transition into adults. Player sims need to drop out of college or graduate, however the babies are left behind. I'm really not sure how you managed to move them ???
PS phyllisp I unfortunately said something a litlle stronger than oops when my fraternity sim started to show ;D I really wasn't expecting that at all!

Erm... I did it exactly as I said, by first inviting them into a household on campus and then, after they got their college degrees, inviting them into a household back in town.
Maybe it'll be more clear if we take it step by step. You can pretty much follow the procedure in the Tales of Happy Valley. The story embellishes on the game play, but the screen shots are pretty much in chronological order.
1. Anchor sim ("Gloria Baybrace"), an adult, becomes a Young Adult via the Testing Cheats, moves to college, builds a house. (Obviously with multiple motherlodes.) Gloria is the anchor at the college end because she is an important character in the story, but the anchor could have been any playable sim on campus. Gloria and her sister Della got to campus by having yet another on-campus sim invite them to join an on-campus household. Then they moved out of that house, bought a lot, and built Manse Collegium.

2. Gloria invites a member of the family to join her household at college, and the whole family moves into the house on campus. (The helicopter is obviously a stage prop.) The two adults (Greg and Sheba) become Young Adults and sign up for school after they get to campus.

3. Mom and Dad spend a few days getting their college degrees. Kids have amusing adventures but don't go to school and don't age. The infant ("Barry") stays an infant all this time.
4. Anchor sim at the town end (Giles Edward Bennett) invites a member of the family to join him back in town, and they all move back. In this case, Giles invited Greg to move in, and Greg had the option to bring all the members of his family back with him. It could have been any sim in town who was best friends with Greg, but again, I wanted the Bennetts back in Manse Orleans where Giles lived so that's how I did it.
Chapter 68: (http://hullabaloo.simshost.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=12138#12138)
5. Upon their return to the neighborhood, Mom and Dad do immediately grow up to adulthood, and he shows up wearing a clown suit that he wouldn't be caught dead in. The infant Barry also started aging again as soon as they got back to town and soon grew up to be a toddler.
Chapter 69: (http://hullabaloo.simshost.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=12140#12140)
I've done this many times now, with nary a glitch. If you look through the story you'll see Greg's grandmother Hazel do a cameo appearance at Manse Collegium, newly rejuvenated as a Young Adult. Hazel and her husband are also sims who started out in town (as elders), got invited into a campus household, became Young Adults, got degrees, and then moved back to town by being invited into a household in town.
Meadow is another one. One of the dormies invited her to move into the dorm, and she did. She was an adult when she got pregnant in town. She changed to a Young Adult after she got to campus, but she was still pregnant and had her babies in the dorm.

I have to admit, I'm vastly confused. The option to "propose move in" isn't available to dormies. Unless ..... when you say "invited," are you doing this all by boolprop? I'm not real conversant with it, but I seem to remember one can move anyone in using it .... Yeah, that's probably what you did, nevermind, I'm on my first cup of coffee. Might be nice, though, when you go through your steps, if you mention where you use the debugging codes and where you use actual gameplay options. Some of us are foolprop-challenged :D
