This is the definitive dorm, isnt' it? Thank you for having the patience to build it.
have you already tested it in gaming? Does it slow the game? (32 rooms means a lot of people on the lot, further to the NPC).
Thank you very much once again.

Holy shizznit. The game's gonna have a fit when it tries to fill in all the extra rooms with NPCs! And very good idea to include the OFB crafting stations, as well. That'll certainly come in handy after graduation. Thanks!

It slows the games when you got too many people in the lot, such as when you throws a graduation party in the dorm with 30 visitors, then you got like 60+ total sims on the lot. For normal playing, such as practicing skills, study and having meals, the game should run fine. If you got a slow PC, you may change the graphic option to low in details, then the game speed should progress faster.

Thank you tuckerkao. Actually, my PC is well powered, last generation, born to be a games PC, but when sims are too many in the same place, and yes especially when there is a party, it slows a bit. I like your dorm, in any case, I' ll play with it.

Do we have to have anything beyond what comes in the game for all the rooms to be filled? I thought the game had a limit on the number of people on a lot at one time, and I'm sure I've seen a mod to get around that, but I wanted to ask and get the details here.

The limit is 63 people maximum on a lot which equals 2^6 - 1 or 111111 in binary code. Since I only get 32 rooms in my dorm building, they should be filled. I played once and everything ran as expected.

It looks great, but my PC couldn't handle that many sims on that huge lot. My game finally crashed. :/ I think I'll remove some of the doors and play it anyway (with a smaller amount of sims).
