I've started working on a new custom college hood for TS2, and I've just finished the first dorm :)
I've had the idea for a while but I've only just started working on it (after many attempts to make a terrain in sim city 4), but im gonna start posting updates to it as it develops ! I'm starting this project because, as much as I love the 3 default colleges, I really want to create an urban & artsy/party college campus that is nestled in the middle of a city. Academie le Tour is usually where I send my 'artsy' sims, but it feels very prestigious to me, so I'd love an alternative ! Right now, the working title is Urbania Polytechnic, based off of the uni in Urbz (DS version). In the future (the long ... long ... distant future), I'd love to make the playables / townies within this hood reflect the sims from the Urbz games
I've been playing TS2 for a long time, but I've never really ventured into mods or CC until recently. Honeywell's build set is an absolute godsend though, the windows and curtains are just sooooo chef's kiss and have made building a much more enjoyable experience :) ePSYlord's NY building set is also a perfect match for the vibe I'm going for, and I've been using it to decorate the neighbourhood and create that city feel. when making the terrain in SC4, I tried to make the grids in such a way that would compliment the size of the building props! I'm also planning to create a suburban side to the neighbourhood, where the frats, sororitys, and college houses will be, as well as some rural amenities. In the city, i'm going to have nightclubs, restaurants, etc - the usual nightlife amenities !
so yeah! This will be a fun project and i hope i can stick to it !! everything is a work in progress and things will most definitley change as time goes by, but I can't wait to work on this hood so I can start sending my sims to an urban university :)
Some kids were born here.
For example Janinka Pleasant (wife of Wiktor pleasant, son of Mary-Sue and Daniel) gave birth two times. First was Daniela (after Daniel) and two days later (like literally) she had twins - Diana and Denis. All of their names starts with D to honor the memory of the biggest d#ckhead in Pleasantview.
They had too small apartment so they moved in to Pleasant Manor, living with Angela and Jacek and their son moved to Janinka and Wiktor's apartment.
Next was Mirosława Ottomas, known from my previous series. She got pregnant on vacations with her husband, Kamil and after chilling out on the beach she found out she's pregnant.
She gave birth do Gertruda Gavigan.
The last one is unborn baby Broke who's Wanda Broke. Right before her water broke (hehe), her friend Jaśmina Goth (daughter of Florence Delarosa and Cyd Roseland, now wife of Fryderyk Goth who's a son of Bella and Mortimer) visited her to celebrate a baby bump.
She gave birth to twins - Natalia and Ewelina Burb. Yeah, Franciszek Burb, brother of Lucy, is a father.
I hope you follow. Those things are pretty complicated when you mess up with relationships.
Next stop - THOSE WHO PASSED AWAY.
theres no way the sims fandom is having discourse about people not interpreting characters deep enough.. hello... this is the game where you play with dolls... the pre existing characters are there to fill a town up.... hello...... theyre made to be surface level.. this is like getting mad at someone for not playing with their toys the way YOU like😭😭😭
I was tired of the dorms that come with Sim State University so I thought that maybe it's time to build my own. I found the photo of some building on Pinterest and created new place for my YA sims to lose their soul during writing thesis and learning.
It looks like a regular apartment building but I think my sims can afford something ✨modern✨ I think it lacks a landscaping but I'm not the best in it (yet).
On the back it has a patio and some area for playing basketball and chill under the trees.
I can imagine long talks about life on those chairs.
Inside we have some space for dancing and partying when the weather isn't nice. I added some hanging keys so they can simulate that sims will take it and go to lectures.
Next we have kitchen which is obviously black and white. I think I made those the two main colors in this building. It looks cool and modern so that was my thought when I was furnishing it.
There is a quiet room for those who want to study or read something in peace so no one will interrupt with watching tv or playing games.
I created a space for playing chess, watching tv or play console games.
I thought that having a private gym would be also nice. It's not much but still it can help with gaining muscles and loosing weight.
All bathrooms look the same. Behind the sliding doors there are showers. I know that on Uni they can take shower with other people in the same room but I think some privacy can be nice.
All bedrooms also look the same. I thought that I don't know who will live there so for now everything looks bland. Whenever I'll move someone here, I will adjust rooms to theirs personality.
On every floor there is a small kitchen space with table and two easels. They have to practice creativity somehow.
On the rooftop there is a bbq, chess, bar, some tables and chairs from crates and telescope. I imagined that on the summer sims can have fun here, invite friends and chill.
The floorplan:
I hope you enjoyed my new dorm. If you have any suggestions, what can I improve, I'm open to that. I'm not the best builder and I still learn something new!

Just Tessa Ramirez enjoying her new office.
She can enjoy books and tea in silent room.
I'll comback with more stories but I need to find more inspiration :)
Hiacynta left Sebastian with baby Barbara and moved to Downtown. She did it while he was at work so he couldn't stop her. She didn't even leave the note with new address, new anything. She was gone.
She enjoyed her life without Sebastian and responsibilities like child. Hiacynta just wanted to party, flirt with multiple guys and stop caring about someone's feelings. There was nothing she cared for but the problem was, she still was married to Sebastian and she wanted to have that clear. After few days she called him so they can meet and solve it all.
"I'll have full custody on Barbara. You can't go near her!"
"That's fine for me."
"You're such horrible mother!"
"Yeah, I know. I never wanted to be a mother."
They divorced and Sebastian now has a full custody after their daughter. It's like starting with a blank page but will Basia understand?
She was right before her birthday.
Turns out Ramaswami genes didn't even try. I see this Picaso face.
After a while, Sebastian started dating townie called Andrea Hogan. I don't know how he met her but they had a high chemistry so I gave it a try.
They fell in love easily. After some time of dating, they decided to marry.
I hope this time Sebastian found a true love.
Conference room with a back room for shenanigans.
Work in progress lot downtown! The exterior is pretty well done here, it's just the interiors I need to do.
This is going to be a kind of community arts centre - one building will be devoted to arts and crafts, and one to music. The outside is a kind of food fair type area!
I'm loving how it's shaping up - now I just need to recharge my inspiration to finish the inside xD
The Green apartments - the pride of the contemporary architects of Crystal Castle. This apartment building embodies nature and beauty even though it is located just around the corner from city centre. There is 4 apartments in 5 floors - the highest one being a two-story delicacy with two balconies - and a common yoga room and a small backyard for residents to enjoy.
It is so hard to screenshot these tall buildings.. but I tried! I had the game crash couple of times while bulding and furnishing, so decided to left the aprtments empty. But luckily I haven't had any problems while actually playing on the lot!
Mirosława was so happy that Kamil moved to her house. She felt lonely after her father died and Miłosz moved to Picasos' house. She missed her now-fiance and she had waited so long for him to finish his degree. Mirka loved him so much and didn't want to treat him as her bigger sister treated her husband. It was true love.
He took an old cat from his home and agreed to take another one from the shelter.
They started to feel like a true family. They only needed a wedding. But it was hard to do because they were working on different days and different hours so it was difficult to come up with the date. Mirosława and Kamil decided to get married without anyone, just before work.
It was her dream.
Later, on the evening they were still cherishing their new chapter in life.
"I missed you in that dorm." - he whispered. "I missed you in my dad's stupid bakery." - she laughed.
She finally felt safe in someone's arms and received something good in life. Mirosława can leave the past behind and be happy with the love of her life. "Do you want to sit on the couch?" - Kamil asked. "Yeah, sure."
"I love you." "I love you, too".
