I've made some changes to the dorm.

First, I made the porch slightly smaller, moved the potted palms there, and added a rug before the door. I also removed the flowerbeds and added a row of maple trees.

I forgot to build a restroom on the first floor, so I rearranged the cafeteria's kitchen and part of the dining space to make way for the restroom.

I added wall mirrors in the ballet studio and adjusted the prima ballerina poster's position.

Here's a bird's-eye view of the modified dorm. I added boards on each wing of the second floor.

If nobody has further questions, I'll make the dorm available for everyone to download.

I get inspired too easily. I stumbled upon @silverbelle1220’s dorm but couldn’t see the pictures, so I watched a YouTube video on building a dorm to get a general understanding. That made me download and install Engelhardt Hall, and I love its design so much that I ended up building a dorm of my own.

Without much further ado, I introduce you to my dorm: Evans Memorial Hall.

Here's the exterior and entrance.

The first door’s main hallway. Notice there are two elevators at the end leading to the second floor. The dorms I lived in while at college had elevators, so I thought, why not use them instead of stairs?

Another hallway leading to…

The ballet studio. OK, this is a rather odd room I built because I just wanted to add something unique to my dorm.

Cafeteria.

Living room. Aside from the TV, it has a piano, violin, and easel.

Library. It also has chess tables.

Computer room.

Games room, where sims can dance to the stereo or play group games like Myshuno, mahjong, and Don’t Wake the Llama.

Second floor main hallway. The arches on both sides lead to hallways with four dorm rooms and a bathroom for each.

Dorm room. Each has a single bed, dresser, desk, desk chair, bookshelf, mini-fridge, microwave oven, smoke alarm, lamp, and mirror. I make the rooms plain so players can decorate them however they like.

Bathrooms.

Roof. It has a few solar panels to prove that its electricity source is green. I added two lightning rods so I can pretend they prevent the dorm from being damaged by lightning. Oh, and there’s an atmospheric forecaster because it kinda looks like an antenna.

Bird’s eye view of each floor. Apparently, I have a thing for ceiling fans.

Bear in mind that I have all EPs and SPs installed. Most of the objects I use for the cafeteria come from Pets. The dorm room furniture and mirrors come from the IKEA SP. The lightning rod and atmospheric forecaster come from Seasons. The mahjong table comes from Bon Voyage. The ballet barre and Don’t Wake the Llama Table come from FreeTime. The solar panels come from the Mansion & Garden SP. The only “CC” I use are the prima ballerina poster from the FreeTime pre-order bonus and the NOMINELL chair from the IKEA SP pre-order bonus.

Anyway, if anyone wants to give feedback on their overall impressions of the building and what I need to work on, feel free to do so. If anyone wants to playtest it, just say the word and I’ll DM you the link. I already played with it for a bit, but I’m not confident enough to put the link available for everyone yet.

Shoutout to @silverbelle1220 and SIMSLEX on YouTube for inspiring me to build my dorm with their own.

Here's Danny as a toddler. He takes a lot from his dad, but with his mom's eyes. At least he's cute. Too bad his parents aren't exactly the brightest and most attentive. It gets to where he passed out outside the crib, and Parvati gets pregnant with another kid, even though their apartment is pretty small. After growing up into a child, Parvati's more attentive, but Rhett tries to bow to him and talk to him about grilled cheese, much to his confusion. While Danny was taking the headmaster on a tour around their home, Parvati was teaching Rhett how to use the lie detector.

Vlastimir: Let me check if you'd make a perfect wife for a future descendant.

Meadow Thayer: Ugh, what are you talking about, you old creep? I'm just a teen.

Selena: Honey, please leave this lovely young lady alone, would you?

After the honeymoon, Parvati and Rhett get ready for the next generation... at a bench. Rhett became worried when his aspiration was slightly in the red. Not long afterwards, Parvati gave birth to the first member of Generation 3: Daniel, or Danny.

To celebrate the occasion, I invited Sanjay over to meet his grandson. While a loving grandfather, he's rather clueless on what to do with Danny when he needs a diaper change.

Been meaning to post this last month but got carried away by playing the hood.

After Parvati and Rhett graduated, I moved them to the Nanyang Apartments by @westanimesims and adjusted the season with the Weathernaught. After that, they got married and went to Takemizu Village for their honeymoon. Aside from experiencing a bunch of stuff, Parvati learned how to teleport from the ninja while Rhett got the wrong answer. They even got into a bunch of mishaps like getting electrocuted at the hot springs and Rhett getting chased by bees. At the Pagoda in the Shadows, they befriended the Wise Old Man, who told them the Dragon Tale, but not before playing a handheld game and making in front of him.

I come with an update on my legacy here. Please comment here, on Dreamwidth, or on my legacy thread at boolprop.net.

Introducing Colossus the servo. He has Vlastimir's aspiration, skills, and personality stats. I named him after the Colossus in The Legend of Korra. So far, he's been fun to play, even though he better work on his cooking skills.

Vlastimir and Selena reminisce about their youth by admiring their portraits.

On another note, I'm pissed at this townie Ethan Barrett for trying to flirt with Selena against her will. And in front of Vlastimir, no less.

Vlastimir: My wife is so hot when she's rejecting other people's advances.

Sanjay learns the hard way from his future son-in-law that just because he's the telescope slapper doesn't mean that people won't stand up to him.

Finally an update of my legacy found here. Feel free to comment here, Dreamwidth, or my legacy thread at boolprop.net.

I sent Vlastimir to the Maple Creek Shopping Center built by joandsarah77 at MTS, and one of the hairdressers has the name Virtue Teller.

Needless to say, I chuckled.

I considered keeping Sanjay and Priya's youngest child Padma single, but she had her first kiss with a co-worker. After sending them on a date, I resolved to send them both to college.

As a typical grilled cheese sim, Ana often rolls the wants to eat grilled cheese sandwiches and talking to others, including her professors, about grilled cheese.

That awkward moment when your dad's the neighborhood telescope slapper.

Who would've thought inviting your parents to a sports party in your dorm and having them blow bubbles is a good idea?

[biglenny93]

Um... Parvati, why are you talking about how hot the dark elf who tried to kill you and your friends is?
