Question about relocating Greek House members
C.S.:
I downloaded a lot made by maxoid monkey, remodelled it and intend to move the existing fraternity/sorority (Urele-Oresha-Sham and Tri-Var in Sim State University) into the new houses. How shall I go about it? Just move them in, change lot zoning to 'greek', or do I have to do it by phone i.e. re-apply for charter?
veilchen:
As far as I know there are only 3 zoning options, commercial, dorm, and residential. For a new house (not a maxis pre-made greekhouse), I usually just name it, put the letters on and move the people in. I don't know if you still have to call and apply for charter, its been a while since I did my custom campus, but you do have to move them in first anyways, so you can take it from there.
LK:
There is a "greek" zoning option as well as "secret society" option with the zone changing cheat.

There are actually 5 lot zonings, what you mentioned (although I thought it's 'community', not 'commercial') plus LK's. Well, I mean, is there a correct way to do it ???? It'll be nice if I could move the frat boys and sorority sisters just like that *snaps fingers*, that'll be a much much much easier way. Instead of calling and re-applying for charter, which will mean they get a 'joined greek house memory' twice, and I don't know if it's ok to delete the extra one in SimPE, or should I be removing their 'frat member' tokens 1st then move them out before calling, or does it work just as well if I change the lot zoning to 'greek' etc etc :-\.
The maxis pre-made greek houses have no rooms for double beds, and I can't stand tearing down everything all over again and remodelling them, all over again, and they can't even be packaged for re-use since there are people living in it. Thought I'll just use the remodelled packaged residential maxoid monkey lot as rental properties, install twice and use them for the new greek houses.
So the game works fine your way, name the house, put the letters on and move people in? No BFBVFO?

Curious,
You do have to move a/any Sim into the house to call and apply for charter, then change the zoning to Greek when charter is granted. The Sim who called can be moved out again, and the whole household of Frat boys just moved into their new quarters from the old house.
What I don't know, because I never bothered with it, is if the game allows for more than one Greek house at a time. You may get some kind of message when you call for charter telling you this, depending on what the games detects, but it should also give you a clue as to what you need to do next. It may be that the game will want you to move the students out and into the bin first, remove the original Greek house, and then try for charter again.
