this gave me a memory giggle (in a good happy way) of a real life situation with my special needs brother
one of the things he used to do (and still does) is he'll take a frozen burrito bought from the store out of the freezer and eat it .. just like that .. no puttin it in the microwave for even a second .. the rest of us would ask if he wanted to and his answer is always nope

(for those who may not be know what a burrito is .. it's refried beans and cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla shell)

Ow, his teeth!

Did you say "be know" (Beano) as some kind of burrito/fart joke?

lol ... no .. was me changin what I was gonna say and not proofreadin afterwards

I wish it was possible for a main hood sim to go to a university subhood like they can go downtown. I don't like having a downtown solely for the purpose of having community lots (I really don't need more housing space) I wish I could put all the cool restaurants, clubs, shops into the university town. Combining both of these things to create the idea of a uni city being an exciting place not just for students, but also anyone living somewhat close to the area, sounds a lot more fun and realistic.

So what you'd like is townie walkbys on University lots?
Cuz you can add whatever buildings you want. Realism, i guess, depends on your individual university experience. In my school, we rarely needed to venture off campus, and people from off campus didn't come onto campus to eat overpriced, crappy college food. There weren't any townie-esque walk-bys, except for parents, possibly in the student center and the bookshop. Now, we did have one bar, and a couple locations where clubs could hold parties, so maybe in some of those places Thursday, Friday, Saturday, we'd get friends of students, accompanying students. But then, you could achieve that by just calling sims from other areas, inviting them over and forming a social group for an outing or whatnot... right?

by the way, Calibrat, i thought the fart joke was hysterical... tiny bit sad it was unintentional, but then again, now that i think about it, that almost makes it even funnier! hahhahah

Ahh no, I'm not bothered by walkbys, rather, I'd prefer if my main hood sims could go out bowling/clubbing in a university subhood, instead of going to a downtown one. I really don't like the idea of creating a downtown subhood purely for some community lots, because well, I spend a looooot of time on creating neighbourhoods, so I'd want to use them as much as possible. If one could combine these two functionalities, I could justify making a new one, for now I only use community lots in my main hood.

Speaking of the realism for me, I think the standard in Europe is that most (old/good) universities are in centres of big cities, so it's not so much of a secluded campus life. While some bars and spaces are considered "student bars" and may put off the older folk for being too "childish", it's still a space that is publicly shared and welcome for everyone. University cities also attract the best food scenes and events, due to population size obviously, so even when you're not a student yourself, you might enjoy all the weekend things going on close to those campuses. I'm aware the experience differs around the world though, I'm going to study in SEA from January, and apparently it's a secluded campus right next to unwalkable roads and the jungle, which is a complete opposite lifestyle to how I live now, barely spending any time on campus OR at my house. I'm always everywhere, so it will be strange to be stuck in one place.

i dont see the possibility of it, but maybe some sort of hair growth mod?

Maybe facial hair/beard too. That way KATY_76/PCSMB razor/trimmer would be put in great use.
