I love sending my sims to University, but the roomies are awful. They leave food in the oven and I have to constantly watch the oven before my sim goes to class so the kitchen don't burn down. Then the appliances end up breaking all the time in the dorms. My sim has to do several day jobs to make enough money to replace the items
The reason I want a butler is so he/she can fix the broken items and clean the house (maids only clean). My sims loose progress if they fix items or clean (if that is not what they are going to college for)
This is not a complaint, I love the roomies~~~
I remember getting a butler a long time ago, I think I did it wrong though. I just added another bed for the butler.
Do you use butlers? If so, do you place another bed or are you suppose to dismiss one roommate?

When I send my sims off to stay in a dorm, Bonehilda is a must. She keeps up with everything and can be sent away or called upon at any time. Keep in mind she is a boozehound. You need the Supernatural EP for this.

As for cooking, I always put in a really good stove, add dishwasher & trash compacter, food processor, microwave, etc. Since my sims usually have at least 3 cooking skill (because I HATE fires lol) On the weekends they can cook a few group meals to tide roomies over so less cooking takes place. If you have the fryer from the store, just put that on the counter. They'll use that incessantly and it doesn't create fires - at least not that I've ever seen.
If you don't have funds for that or don't want to be bothered, remove the stove and put a microwave on the counter and make sure there's a grill outside - just not too close to the house. Problem solved.

Wait... I have the Bistro set... you mean you can set up like a sort-of cafeteria? Details, good sir!!
I can't remember if I went as far as to lock the rest of the dorm roomies out of the kitchen or take the regular stove away, probably not since I would want my own sim to use it after hours if they wanted to, but giving the residents other options does tend to cut down on the number of stove related fires.

When I did get a butler a while back, I gave him the single bed room that is by itself. I removed the two murphy beds in the other room and placed three beds in there to keep the roomies all there.
As for cooking, I am with you there! I always replace the fridge, stove, trash compactor, and dishwasher! Good idea on the fryer, I will have to go download that set right away, I love the fryer!
Thanks for your advice, much appreciated

You need City Hall to clear your name - there isn't one at Uni. I'd ask our resident experts how a City Hall might function in a Uni world tho, because I have no idea. There is an option at the Administration Bldg. to apply for student funds or words to that effect. The amount you collect is based on your current grade. If you have a fully green bar, or an A average, you can collect close to $5,000 per day. A full 24 hours has to tick before you can collect again, so note that the time starts to run from when you leave the Admin. Bldg., not from the time you arrived to apply for the funds - or more simply put, the time when you can apply again will be later the next day than it was the first day.
No problem. Good to see you

I never had a butler die in my game
Thanks for your input, much appreciated (and a reminder to not get involved with butlers)
Thanks so much, funny how you learn something new even after playing for years
