For some reason, Malcolm Landgraab keeps rolling fears about his various girlfriends becoming witches. Kind of random, lol.

Lack of windows makes anything 100 times harder to build. How on earth am I supposed to fill 1440 tiles of floor space in a floor that doesn't have a single window? It's the 4th (and thankfully final) floor of what is meant to be a main university building already equipped with a bar, a library and a conference room. I could do offices but the lack of windows is hurting my brain.

Nice Rachel we're having.

Why can't you have windows?

It's part of the shell. The other 3 floors didn't have many windows but had enough interesting architectural details to make them easier - that and me knowing exactly what I wanted to do with each area before I started building. The last floor is just a windowless square.

Clearly it needs to be something where a lack of natural light, or precise control over lighting, is an advantage. Could it house labs, darkrooms, a nightclub, a theatre, an archive, or a cinema for showing arthouse or educational films?

Or one option might be to delete the floor and put in some two-storey lights for the floor below?

I use the sims as a psychology simulator...

Those are some interesting ideas, especially the archive given this will be the main building of the university.

Labs I will leave to their dedicated building - I plan on having a building for each major, so I can tailor the labs to their specific needs. Or, more likely, a group of a few similar majors: physics and maths in the School of Science, possibly biology too (though I might separate them into a dedicated School of "Medicine"); psychology for the School of Psychology; economics and political science in the School of Economy; art in the School of Fine Arts; philosophy, literature, drama and history in the School of Letters. Of course, this might result in an amazing rendition of the School of Science given my own experience and a very poor execution of something like the School of Fine Arts, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Especially for an archive building you can also definitely get away with a larger and emptier attic space that's not exactly 'private' but not a very useful part of the building, and would work fine even if it's mostly still empty. My favorite version of this that I've done is the top two floors of my police station, where there's a couple utilities and storage areas, but for a university you could also have a little hangout space with crappy couches and a TV that a couple frat brothers dragged up there or something lol
