Hello to all! This is my first upload, so bare with me please! I figured I downloaded so much of all your great custom content, I might as well upload something I think I did pretty darn well. So, since I am trying to do a "Hogwarts" style University, and instead of making one giant Hogwarts that I can just put a few people in, I would do each House as a dorm. I think someone has already done this, but I only just saw it a little while ago, after I'd made the Gryffindorm (just easier to write it like that! lol).

Basically, it's a fully furnished Dorm, made up to look and feel like the Gryffindor Common Room and Bedrooms. I put the boys and girls bedrooms seperate, they each have thier own staircase, which you can access through the right Boy only/girl only door (used the bathroom doors for this, as you can see in one of the screenshots I put in), and the upper level has 4 rooms for each boy and girl. On the first floor, there's a computer study area and the dinning hall, Second is the Common room/study areas, and in the basement, I put a gym, pool, pool table, bowling alley, poker table and painting area. Outside, there is a spot with 2 spas, shaded by the tall trees and an astronomy corner.

As you may have guessed because of the bowling and poker, I finished it with Nightlife installed, and I don't think it can be used with TS2 and University installed only, which is why I put Nightlife only in where it is mentionned above! If someone can get an answer for that, it would be appreciated!

As a side note: if you aren't a Harry Potter fan, you can still use this dorm! Just change some of the colours and walls and stuff and I think it still makes a pretty usefull dorm!

As I mentionned, I got lots of things from this site, and some of it is in this dorm, so credit goes where credit is due. Sadly, there are certain things that, as much as I have tried figuring out where they came from, I cannot find. I will put them in, and if anyone knows where they can be gotten, then I shall Update the list. Very Sorry about this... A big thanks though to all of you greatly talented people. This dorm would not be what it is without your great things and skills!

Because my original file was soooo big, I had to remove some content to be able to upload it. I removed the items that are in italic, so you can just download them and add them in there! The pictures show where the things were. I also had to remove three of the PCs due to this.
