DivinylsFan​&nbsp; If you think SP might be the problem, pull it out and see what happens.&nbsp; Don't save your progress; just quit and add back SP before playing forward.
If this helps, you can disable SP (General Options &gt; Enable Progression &gt; False) while in the University world, which won't affect the setting in other worlds.&nbsp; If you want SP active in this world, try reseting everything to default.&nbsp; You don't need to save your progress here either; this is just a test.
If the problem isn't SP, we can look elsewhere.&nbsp; For the sims piling up at the doors, you can try this mod:
https://modthesims.info/d/611709/university-student-union-library-shell-overrides-to-help-with-crowding-issues.html
HOWEVER, do not allow the mod to be present when you first start a new save, or the world won't have any sims in it at all.&nbsp; Just remove it when your sims aren't at University or about to travel there.&nbsp; And, as noted, the mod isn't compatible with NRaas GoHere.
As for importing SP settings, you would load a save that has the settings you want, then choose SP &gt; General Options &gt; Export Settings.&nbsp; This creates a file in Library that you can transfer to other user folders if necessary.&nbsp; Import Settinsg is in the same location.
NRaas Overwatch can also export/import settings from multiple mods at once, if you'd like to have one master file to use rather than one per mod.&nbsp; The only caveat is that Retuner settings don't always transfer properly this way.&nbsp; If you want to import Retuner settings, save those separately.

Not sure about sims disappearing but for the stuck sim, I use Nraas Debug Enabler mod. Click that sim&gt;nraas&gt;DebugEnabler&gt;Object&gt;reset.&nbsp; or just resetsim with cheat, or resetsim or reset lot on MC mod. (No reset everything while having classes in Uni world). I tried it then my sims lost all academic progress.&nbsp;If you mean the sims disappears in the room, (Room is still opened), then sounds like the sims are invisible. Click Dorm lot&gt;nraas&gt;MC&gt;sim&gt;basic&gt;outfit&gt;everyday&gt;sim list with portraits&gt;click the sim you can't see on the lot. The sim will be shown again. If this isn't the solution, I have no idea.&nbsp;

DivinylsFan​&nbsp; You can tell the Library files apart by their modified dates, that is if you remember when you exported the mod settings.&nbsp; You can also rename any of these files as long as the names don't contain any special characters and still end in .package.
It's odd that the sims are disappearing entirely; I thought that wasn't supposed to happen unless you somehow made NPC rooms in one of the dorms, which don't come with any by default.&nbsp; The fact that they're not doing anything even while at the front door might be an indication of an overloaded game engine.&nbsp; And SP isn't going to help with this anyway.&nbsp; So I'd again suggest removing SP and seeing how the behavior changes, if it does at all.
You should also remove the .zip files from your Packages folder.
Retuner is an NRaas mod.&nbsp; It's kind of a master tuning tool, able to access all the game's tunable values that aren't table-based.&nbsp; If you're not using it, you don't need to worry about it.

DivinylsFan​&nbsp; For the gardening issue, I take it this isn't season-related?&nbsp; I'm sure you know that plants go dormant when the temperature drops and stay that way until partway into spring.
If you want to fix a plant immediately, you can use NRaas DebugEnabler.&nbsp; Click the plant and select NRaas &gt; DE &gt; DEBUG&gt; Next Growth State.&nbsp; I think this will cause mature plants to go to the harvestable stage, but if the plant gets bounced back to Planted, just keep using the command until you get harvestables.
You can also try any other command you see on the plant that sounds like it might be useful, but be prepared to quit without saving if you don't get the result you want, as with everything DE-related.

DivinylsFan​&nbsp; I wasn't being sarcastic, I was mentioning the obvious detail that I thought you probably already knew but wasn't sure because you hadn't specified.&nbsp; When I'm trying to help someone with a problem, overlooking the obvious answer can waste a lot of my and the other player's time.&nbsp; The way I phrased it was an attempt to not assume you had no idea but to also bring it up just in case.
If this is in fact a bug with the SwiftGro station, rather than an in-game issue that the item sometimes triggers, and I haven't seen anything definitive either way, then I'm not sure what you're looking for here.&nbsp; A true bug could only be avoided, or addressed by a mod.&nbsp; I offered a potential workaround; I don't know of a mod that specifically fixes issues with the SwiftGro station.
I do think the problem with University may be your computer struggling to run all the simulations the game engine throws at it, especially with SP added in.&nbsp; But I'm not here to tell people to buy new computers; I'm trying to help them make the most of whatever setup they have.
Since you're apparently not interested in my style of helping anymore though, I'll bow out here.&nbsp; Maybe someone else will have suggestions for you.
