STOP with the dormie assignments!
Gwill:
I've had MASSIVE problems with this.
I get the dormie jump, although it doesn't seem to produce an error log. Chairs get stuck, and won't unstick unless I sell them and re-buy, which is a huge strain on the ecconomy. I use noassignmentlitter, but once the assignment is zapped, the damage to the chair is already done.
Right now I have a dorm where all desks have computers and I use counters and barstools in stead of tables and chairs, because if I had tables my sims would stand around complaining when trying to rampage. College is way too dull for me, so I just let tell my sims to do their stuff at the start of the term and set the game to fast forward while I go do something else, so it's very important to me that I don't get stickyness that causes my sims to stand around for days complaining.
After I started building around the problem I've only ever had one problem with dormie assignments when a dormie decided to sit down right outside my sim's room, blocking the door and keeping him from going to class.
I'm going to give the table decorations a shot if I ever feel the need for tables again.

Gwill, you're experiencing exactly the same problem as me. Until I learned about candles and napkin holders; having a cafeteria was madness. Now it's not as bad as before, I have the most comfortable sofa sitting next to the door, and most of the time they choose to sit down and watch TV, other than going and doing assignment.
Watch out for Ghost with your napkin and candle tables. they tend to eradicate them like all other lamps.

GRAH! I just played a new dorm and it's happening again...even worse than before. I placed a dining table with 2 chairs upstairs in my new dorm. The dormies lay their assignments down...complain about the chair 'in use' and then the assignment disappears. Wash, rinse, repeat. I've deleted the chairs using moveobjects on and repurchased them numerous times. It just keeps happening. I'm still blaming this on Seasons. It's so much worse now.
I'm going to go back to the dorm I was playing last night, in which the chairs did not get stuck, to see what is different about the two scenarios. Both lots are using HolySimoly tables and chairs. But, I noticed this happening with plain vanilla Maxis chairs in other dorms. Hmmmm

noassignmentlitter appears to be part of the Director's Cut, in the 'moreawesomethanyou.zip' files under the
Seasons dir, the Pets dir, etc.
Goodness, seems like someone made an effort to hide it. ::) Or I suck and didn't look there, that's a possibility too. Either way, thank you!
I take it the hack zaps abandoned assignments, so dormies will still start them and leave them around but they'll automatically be deleted after they wander off? That plus some napkin holders on my tables (why didn't I think of that?) will solve my problem for me! Thankfully I've never once had a chair or table get stuck after a dormie uses them...

I don't have this problem, because I don't allow dormies in my game. Any rooms not occupied by playables get regular doors instead of Myne doors. Works like a charm. :P
