nevermore: somebody made the exact thing you’re looking for: link
It’s a new object that looks like a regular grandfather clock, but when you click on it, you get options to “Freeze time” or “Reset semester” or “Take final now”. I’ve found it very useful.
Yep, that’s super-useful. 
Finally my college Sims are having a social life.
I should state right up front that I’m a control freak when it comes to my Sims – they’re like little Stepford Sims. So I’ve also been a little stressed by the pace of the semesters – not a lot of time to have fun. I’m alarmed that the semester clock keeps ticking when the Sims go to a campus community lot. So far, I’ve been giving each Sim one outing per semester, and they’re still able to make As. The research paper seems a lot more important than the assignments in terms of class performance, and I send them to college with a lot of skill points so they don’t need to spend too much time building those. I’ve pretty much been ignoring the professors, the Sims have been getting As without becoming friends with the professors. One of them always wants to flirt with the profs, but she has enough other wants that I’m able to meet those instead to keep her spirits up.
Can you kick the NPC Sims out of the dorms? I’m sending mine to University five at a time, and between my five Sims, and the random dorm inhabitants, the game is running a little slow.
Where? Where can students woohoo?
Also, how can I get dorm mates to leave the lot together?
OMGz0rz
I love you.

Biggirl- they can woohoo in all the same places as adults: hot tubs, beds, clothing booths.
Yeah, but. . .
There are no hot tubs in the dorm and no room for double beds in the bedrooms. I tried to get my hot co-eds to go to the gym, figuring there might be a hot tub there, but I couldn’t figure out how to get the two of them there at the same time.
I’m sure it’s something simple, like just asking, but I could not find that options. So all my students are chaste little honor students.
JM is one of my favorite modders 
You know, I should really put my stuff (like this nursery set) on my page too, but I never seem to get around to it. If I ever get a day off from work I’m really going to. I mean it.
I don’t know if you count it as cheating, but I just keep using the zapper to get their moods up.
Also, it helps a lot to Influence someone else to do their term papers.
I like to make the cow or cheerleader do it.
You also can do your homework and term papers down town.
I’ve graduated all of my original Pleasantview Crew. Two of the graduated boys fell in love with fellow college students, and I want them to graduate too before moving them in.
Also…if anyone else is having a problem with Final Exams, here’s a link to the fix I’m using.

I’ve had no problems so far.
I’ve brought my first few people back to life.
Betty, my first Sim, naturally. 
What’s weird is when she came back, the Social Bunny was in her relationship menu… twice. :eek:
Now, if they would just give us something to turn back the aging on them.
I was curious about the boolprop cheat, so I tested it out on Betty and her resurrected husband, Pao, without saving. It allowed me to turn them both into Young Adults which didn’t do much good because as soon as she aged, she was an elder again. I also didn’t see a way to send her to college as a Young Adult, so I just exited without saving.
Now the weird thing is Betty has been over to other Sims houses as an NPC and she looks normal, but when she’s gossiping about Pao the thought bubble shows him as a Young Adult still. I haven’t been back to that house to check it out yet, but that just shows how Boolprop can’t be trusted.
If they live in the same household, you can use a taxi to take multiple Sims to whereever. Also, you can use a cell phone to invite a sim to a community lot once you are there. You can’t control the invited sim, but you can get them there.
Biggirl A double bed will fit in some of the dorm rooms, you just can’t have anything else in there. Also, you can buy a hottub to stick on the dorm lawn- assuming you have the $.
Is Betty a playable Sim or an NPC? If she’s playable it’s a piece of cake using SimPE. Just make her the age prior to the one you want, and set her ‘days left’ to zero. Then play her and grow her up and she’ll transition beautifully. Of course, if you want her to be a YA you’d have to make her a child, grow her to teen and then send her to Uni…
If she’s a townie it’s not much harder - just follow the same steps to set her age, get one of your Sims to invite her over (she’ll walk a bit odd) and use Merola’s mirror from MTS2 to take control of her long enough to do the ‘grow up’.
If you don’t set them to the age previous to the one you want and do the ‘grow up’ they look and act weird. It seems the age transition thing is important to reset their size and behaviours.
ONe of the first things we did at the dorm was to replace their beds with the very best ones. It gives you hours more wake time with them. The next big thing that helps is the bong in the dorm. Our Sims usually skip one or two classes, but always do the term paper, group study, and assignments. So far, all A+ for everyone. The sims we raise from babies have all 8s or nearly so for their skills. We put three in a nice house. They all have creativity 8 and can make 1000 simoleons in a jam session. That is getting to be a nice house.
She’s my very first Sim that I played all the way through to death and brought back.
That’s good advice…I’ll have to look into it. I just wish it was a part of the game. It probably will be in a future expansion pack.
: crosses fingers :
I got a Sim into the Secret Society last night for the first time. 
I was kind of wondering why he was being kidnapped at first until I saw the blazer the girl was wearing. 
After playing around in the SS house, I have a question.
What does the new Aspiration Reward Camera do besides let you earn money?
It has so many different settings but I can’t see what else it’s supposed to do.
When I took pictures with it, I didn’t have the option to view them in the Photo Album…it was disabled. All I could do was sell them directly out of the camera. 
I thought you had the option to hang them on walls and stuff, but didn’t see an actual print that I could pick up anywhere. I even went into the buy mode thinking I could pull it off the camera (like a painting off the easel) but no luck there.
Is it me, or was the SS (heehee) a little unimpressive? I don’t know what I expected, but I was a bit disappointed. Why is the cow plant completely locked away there?
It eats people! :eek: After it eats a Sim, it produces some elixer or something (never tried it)
Heh…first thing I did was give that sucker a gate.
I know it eats people- that’s the fun! I was going to feed it someone I didn’t like, but was too lazy to stick a gate in there.
It’s an anti-aging elixir.
How much effect does it have? Just a few days or is it worth it?
