I downloaded this and when I went to install it the S2CPI showed the lot as an empty package, so it's not showing up in game

UPDATE: I've posted a fixed version of the package; now it can be installed also with the Sims2Pack Clean Installer.
No modifications were made to the lot itself.

Thanks Greenlea for having reported the problem (the old version was installable only using the Maxis installer, it didn't work with the S2PCI).

"Pedo Mellon a Minno" it's Sindarin (the language of the Elves); it means "Speak Friends and Enter": anyone who claims to be a friend is welcome to enter. In my case, it means also "Ask and I'll answer you"

This is really interesting, can't wait to try it. I have been considering making a dorm in which you have roommates, but glad someone else tried it first and it works. So, let me get this straight, in order for the game to spawn npcs, do all bedrooms with double beds have to have 2 doors, or is this only for rooms where you want npc roomie? I'm about to send a romance sim to college and she'd be miserable having the whole dorm to herself.

All the rooms with a double bed must have two doors (the game spawns 1 NPC for each door, unregarding the number of the rooms in the dorm).
If your sim wants to share the room with an NPC, the room should anyway have a second door: otherwise the roomie NPC might lock the door and your sim wouldn't be able to access the room anymore!

Seeing the preview of your next house reminds me of "The World of Tiers" by Philip José Farmer.

Another important notice is that in this dorm there's a strict dicipline: the students are supposed to clean the empty dishes after having eaten (the cook won't do it, because the dining room is separate by the cafeteria).



One other thing I wondered about, every time I read a tutorial about how to convert a residential lot into a dorm was that in order to spawn a cafeteria worker you had to use the ShynyTyme cooktop (I know I spelled that wrong lol) is that not true? Cause I noticed you put a normal black stove in the dorm. I just moved some people into it and then had some stuff I needed to do so I hadn't played it yet.

UPDATE 20-APR: in my last update, I posted by mistake an old version of the lot, still with a "residential-style" kitchen; as a result, the Cafeteria Worker didn't appear on the lot.
Thanks to Greenlea (again ), that noticed that the stove was not the required ShinyTime (there was an ordinary black stove, instead).
Now everything is fixed: who downloaded the lot from Apr 15th until today (and therefore finds a black stove in the dorm cafeteria), please redownload the lot, as soon as it will be approved.
