Looking For Best Way To Create Custom Uni Neighborhood....
...because the two Uni campuses in Briechester hood are too #@%^@! tiny. Seriously, a total of THREE common lots between the 2 schools aka a pub/bar, a library
It's been hard adjusting to the culture shock of not being in a TS3 open world. And sadly, even TS2 Uni had milky way size proportions relative to TS4. To say space is a premium commodity in TS4 Uni is a pure understatement. There simply isn't any room to build and create your own customized Uni world the way you could with TS2 & TS3.
So I've been looking to create my own custom Uni hood using one of the other worlds. Going to use that MTS mod as a baseline that creates vacant hoods by removing all sims/building etc. So you can customize your own neighborhood.
Ran across a possible working solution in this old 2019 thread:

So it seems you can definitely recreate Uni in the other worlds. However, before going to all the trouble to create my own custom college hood, I've got a few questions for ppl who've done this:
1. Will your sims get the typical acceptance letter from your custom Uni when they apply to college? i.e. will your custom Uni show up in the Uni menu like the other two, when Sims are researching schools and getting their acceptance letter? Or do you need to pretend they got an acceptance letter and just move them to the new custom Uni hood?
2. If pretending is the case, then how do sims in your custom Uni hood get progression for homework etc. so they can get their degrees & graduate?
3. Basically how do you get the game to recognize your custom Uni hood? How do you designate a hood to be a Uni hood? Is this anything like the way it was done in TS3 where you would need to specify it in CAW? Or is this designation done in the game like with how you set lot types/characteristics from build mode?
