Argh!!! Cheat needed!!

Oh I should have done that. But it wouldn't have worked for this one as the building I wanted to make was on a penthouse lot with only one person in it. I think he would have been thrown out when I changed the lot type. Why did they do this? They didn't have to before. I used to host students as paying guests myself and they were always allowed to move mid-term if they wanted to and there was a vacancy

There's also a cheat to instantly enroll. Just turn testingcheats on and right-click the sim (or shift-click, I don't remember.) You'll see enrollment under the University menu.

Ah now that might help! Cheers!

How about do a save as?
Save your build, then save as, making a separate save file to play one or two days to test it. Then go back to your original save with the unplayed building and edit it.

I am only two days into the term and have to play for another 5 days before I can enroll anyone. And the student I was playing is about to fail as I really can't be bothered playing it properly. Please I pray there is a cheat or some way of getting them into that dorm without playing nicely for another 5 sim days :'(
