New Combined Households for University
Apologies if there's a detailed answer to this elsewhere, but I couldn't find it in any older threads.
I finally got University this week, but I've only tested an existing two-sim household (the best friends at Britechester), and a single sim. However, eventually what I would like to do is have groups of friends attend together at the same time, either in the dorms or off-campus housing.
I.e., throughout the neighborhoods, I have various friend-groups of teens or children, who will eventually age up, and I'd like them to age up at the same time and attend university together in most cases. (E.g., the music & drama kids together, the A-student kids in another group, the sports kids, etc.) I know they have to attend the same university to live together in university housing (as opposed to the off campus housing in the middle neighborhood), but I am still unclear on the mechanics of how to do it.
Is the best method to individually age them up to YA, then have them all combine into one household in some random house, and THEN have them all individually apply to college and move out together? Or can I have them all apply to college separately from their family households, and then all move into the same dorm or house, and then somehow combine them as a household (rather than having them as NPC roommates)? What do I even select to do that?
Please help, I am so confused! :D
