No dormies in sight - not even my own
Kestran:
Yeah I am using that same dorm because like you I don't like big dorms but also because its the only dorm I can fit in a double bed in all the rooms. I'm too lazy to build a new dorm or make extensive reconstructions on the other dorms. Before moving them in, I used the cheat to redecorate the dorm and although I don't put one in all the rooms its nice to know I can do that further down the line. I wan't my Sims to have the most fun out of their Uni days :D
My affected Sims are still living in that dorm but I did move them out to a normal housing (not a dorm) and the no saving changed appearances problem persisted so I moved them back in. I am hoping that when they graduate and 'grow up' again the problem will automatically fix itself.
The dorm in question I have not had any other problems though. No problems with Uni townies or anything (knocks furiously on wood).
ZephyrZodiac:
Well, like you, I used the dorm because of the size of the rooms. I think you can get a double bed in all the rooms, but usually that's about all you can get in. Anyway, I've virtually given up with dorms, I just use them for CAS sims to get them started if there isn't a house with a spare room or two. They're also quite useful if you want to move a sim out of a greek house and into a house of their own, which you need to do if you want to move them into another greek house!!!! Crazy!

My dorm is a custom made 15 bed dorm. (I like the big ones! ;)) I made it to upload but discovered that packaged it is nearly 80Mb so I don't know whether I will upload at all.
I didn't know any of the Maxis dorms were corrupt, good info to have.
I'll try again tonight, maybe I didn't wait long enough for townies to move in. I saw the game freeze 4-5 times as it obviously tried to generate dormies & failed - Ta Pescado!
Also I only have about 8-9 townie young adults, maybe there's not enbough of them to make a full dorm, don't know if that would affect anything.
Diala:
I use the 6 room dorm (though a bit remade and remodled), and I haven't had any problems with it. Exactly what kind of problems do you mean? For instance, what do the dormies do different than on a normal dorm? (I never cared about them anyway; not my problem.)
ZephyrZodiac:
It wasn't just the dormies not moving in, it was things like if I moved my sims out and moved another lot of sims into a supposedly empty dorm, it those dormies had eventually moved in the first time, they didn't move out again but were still there! There were a load of other problems as well, but I can't remember what exactly. Next time I go into the college I could load the dorm again and try it....
