Graduation after Leaving When your sim graduates from University can they stick around as long as they want too? Because one of my sims is enganged to a guy whos in freshmen and she's a sophmore!
Since they go back to the regular neighborhood when they graduate, they can still communicate (by phone and email.) I haven't tried asking someone to visit, but one of my Sims brought a friend from the neighborhood to visit when she came over to the Greek House to visit. (It makes it easier to have tons of friends when you also have access to the old neighborhood. More friends makes the Greek House higher level, but only friends not part of that "house" count for the level.) And the Multipainting, thank goodness, works great in the game. It makes college life *much* easier!
Well when you graduate you obviously move back to a main town, but you should still be in control of the guy (if they've moved in) which I believe they have otherwise you wouldn't know what stage they are.
umm, i'd like to know, what exactly is the Greek House? how is it different than a sorority or fraternity?
I'm not really sure with the differenns. With the toga party does anyone knwo how to have a pillow fight? Also, where do you get the multi mirror? I deleted it and I can't find out where to get it again
Okay, I did this last night. Had my girl, fresh with degree in hand, move into a little condo I made. (I'm making a row of condos in my new neighborhood for all my new graduates. ) She called all her friends from college to have a wedding party. I clicked on the arch, and it said, "No actions available" or whatever the message says. I clicked on Calvin and got a ton of actions, but the only one under "Propose" was move in. So, I moved him in. He instantly grew up, which consisted of him doing the little spin move and changing clothes. So, then I fixed his awful hair. Then I clicked on the arch, and they happilly got married.
I really wish you could have a system like this that would work similar to dorms, but for adults or families. You could have a row of little houses, each with it's own door locked to that family and each family living out it's life and aging normally. Your kids could go play with the kid down the block and your sim could flirt with the girl next door. Wouldn't that be great? Would be nice to be able to pick one house to control and to be able to switch which house you wanted to control. That would make sims so much more realistic. And without being able to "see" into the houses you don't control, lag would be kept to a minimum
Ya, but the dorms run kinda slow imagine how slow it would run if you had four or five families all in the same area. I'd like to make a bunch of condos but I don't know how to desighn them:(
Greek House is the generic term for both sororities and fraternities. The game doesn't make a distinction with gender for who can be in a sorority or fraternity. However, in real life, a sorority is a Greek House for women (such as Delta Delta Delta aka the Tri Delts) whereas a fraternity is either an organization for recognizing something like scholarship or major (such as Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha Omega Alpha and Phi Kappa Phi), or is a Greek House for men (such as Sigma Chi.) They get their name "Greek House" because they generally are named using the letters of the Greek alphabet (alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon, etc.) TS2U uses a different alphabet but it's still called "Greek."
But Kristalrose, wouldn't that make him a "drop out" because he got married instead of finishing school. (In my college years, it was generally the female of the pair who did this sort of thing, with the guy either staying in college or not marrying until he was out.)
I was hoping that we'd be able to use the "dorm" buildings in the regular areas as apartments. I suspect that they'll eventually allow us to do that (although they'd still probably only allow 8 playable Sims on a lot, with any other apartments alloted to Townies.)
You know, I worried about that, but his diploma was there in his rewards menu. I hung it up on the wall next to hers in the study.
I used to live in a townhouse. They are very much like condos, just not as big and fancy. Make them rectangular shaped, short in the front, longer on the side. Downstairs: put in a living room in the front, kitchen/dining room behind. Put a staircase in the living room against the wall but about 2 squares from the door. Under the stairs put in a closet or a half bath. Upstairs: At the top of the landing, directly in front of the staircase, put in a full bath with the cheaper shower/bathtub combo. Then put a bedroom in the front of the house, and another bedroom that goes beside it and the bathroom. Make it so the hallway is about three squares wide all the way around. On the front and back add some little covered porches. Decorate it with generic looking tan or blue carpeting, the "beachy keen" wall treatmentor some other generic-looking thing, and put the short roof on it. There, you have a condo for your newly graduated sims. They will love it! They can even start a family in there with the extra bedroom. When I get a chance this evening I will post screenshots of it so you can get a good idea, Flamey. But it will be after 8 tonight Eastern Time. I have to work late teaching a parenting class. :(
Well I'm not so sure about that. Don't some of the dorms have more than 8 rooms? I think, the fact that you can't see the sims when they are in their room is to cut down on video lag. I'm assuming (hoping) that this same principle could be applied to appartement houses and allow you to have more sims. I've also read some reports on MTS2 that some people had used hacks to have over one hundred sim living on one lot. There was no report of their system grinding down to a halt. So the 8 limit is probably based on the performances of an average system. It's probably also based on the fact that controlling more than 8 sims gets rather difficult. However if you had them controlled by AI, like the dormies, you would strickly be limited by your system performances, so the limit could be based on that, just like the limit for visitors.
