This is a dorm based on a house built in late Victorian style (ca. 1890) based on those in the University Heights neighbourhood in Cincinnati, Ohio. Many houses in this neighbourhood have painted brick walls with elabourate Victorian doors, windows, and fireplaces. (The house, also called "St. Clair," is uploaded here under Residential .) After the house was sold, its new owner decided it could be converted to dorms. He installed a very ugly fire escape in the back and carved the bedrooms up into dorm rooms and knocked out the wall between the kitchen and dining room.
In an attempt to make this as user-friendly as possible, the dorm contains mostly Maxis content except for those very few pieces we were unable to live without: the brick walls by Spidergirl, Inge Jones' open shower, and Hysterical Paroxysm's marvellous Arts & Crafts carpets.
This was extensively playtested in University with two Sims all the way through their Uni career. The biggest issue was a tendency for Sims to create a backlog on the stair landing on the ground floor. The ugly fire escape was installed both for verisimilitude and to alleviate that problem.
Ground Floor:
Grand foyer, 2 full baths, cafeteria, living room
2nd Floor:
4 dorms, 2 full baths, 2 3/4 baths, balcony
3rd Floor:
4 dorms, 2 full baths, 2 3/4 baths, lounge
Lot Size: 3x2
Lot Price: n/a
Custom Content Included:
- Modular Stairs by Fratyinside
- A subtle carpet in an Arts & Crafts clouds design by HystericalParoxysm
- Brick 13 by spidergirl @ Habitations
- Triple Photo Frame by Picture This Inc., by boblishman
- Garden Irises by macarossi
- Simlogical open shower kit by Inge Jones

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.

I like to play the legacy challenge but so far have not gotten past Generation 3. I'm a little ADD, what can I say?
