Create More UNI based Sims?

I think also the townie tree is smart enoug to understand that any adults generated on a uni lot is a YA.
But they aren't... well, not *any* adult as not all NPCs are YAs - the cashiers generated to populate Uni community lots (as I only had one before and the game needed several for a couple of lots) are either teens or adults. And there's lots of other NPCs that run around on Uni lots - profs, cooks, the coach, paperboy, newspaper peoples, maids, etc. I've used inteen to allow an adult to live on campus and the game doesn't just turn them into young adults (but Inteen makes it sos they can go to work as well, so who knows what else it changes.)
I've made lots of custom sims and added them to the townie pool without a problem as well (either teens I brought in from the neighborhood and made dormies after they aged up or ones created in the Uni CAS), but they were all Young Adults when I did it. I haven't tried an adult and I'm curious how the game deals with it if they start out in the wrong age group.

I've made custom sims in YACAS many times and added them to the townie bin with the teleporter shrub, and that at least works perfectly fine.
I have since done this... I made 5 YA in the YACAS... but i used the shrub to turn them into townies from the normal parents house in the main n/hood not from a Dorm using one of my sims sent to uni... should i have made them townies from the UNI DORM... or does it not matter i made the YA's townies from the normal n/hood???

I specified YACAS, as in Young Adult CAS, as in the one at uni.
They have to be Young Adults to start with, and they have to be on campus. I think someone once said that you had to use a rented house, not a dorm, so I always do that just in case.

I'm interested in what Weaver did with the townie tree and adults <hopes he comes back to answer questions, as I don't think I can mess with the townie tree in my current game>.
I put my young adults in dorms, choose rooms for them, and then make them townies. Works perfectly and I get them in the dorms I want (the ones where my playables are). The only issue I've had with it is that I have the game so limited in dormies that it made one of them an SS member and when I gave him a dorm room, I got a clone. I'm not really minding that - it's a kind of fun glitch.

Nah, I use the otherwise mostly useless 5-room dorm as my 'home' for soon-to-be dormies -- works just fine there.
