It's a current bug cause roommates are bringint WAY too much food, but they will leave for a few sim minutes to bring back some food. I end up shoving it in the fridge my sim really packed on the pounds with all the ritzy food like lobster thermador and pasta as well as cake. D:

My sim has gained a lot of weight as well. I'm sending her home after this term for the Christmas holidays. I think she should probably visit the gym.

I put a kitchenette in my dorms with fridges and microwaves, I just drag the food into the fridge. It lasts longer and comes in handy when my sim is sick of microwaved food.

:D Haha! This is kind of true to life, they used to talk about the “freshman fifteen” when I was finishing high school. Which was a study showing the average US college/university freshman gained approximately fifteen pounds upon attending school away from home where they now had complete autonomy over their diets.

I placed my sim's minifridge in the social area and I put the food in there so it doesn't spoil and everyone can have the yummy food others bring from "home" (in my case it spawns in the bathroom, lol).

I'm not sure why this is happening, but before Discover University came out, I was building and playtesting a restaurant and it was horrible, because customers would order food and then bring out their own tofu dogs and other foods. I'd have my sim clean up the plates, but they'd still get out more food. All the tables were flooded with homemade food and there was no space to put down their orders. Needless to say, it didn't end well :D But now the magical abundance of food is happening in dorms as well and I'm wondering what the cause is, since it already happened in my restaurant before this expansion pack. I thought it might be another Dine Out bug, but apparently there's more going on.

I've heard of that but most students IRL are not constantly eating roast chicken. cake and lobster thermidor, which are the main things my sim's roommates are bringing home. If it was pizza it would make WAY more sense!

My sim "borrowed" her father's SimRay so she can mind control the roomies to clean all the empty plates. There sure is a lot of them. I put the food in the mini fridge to keep it from spoiling so fast.

OMG I didn’t think about putting some in the fridge for later. Lol

I too created a little kitchennette beside the lift in the Wyvern Hall dorm. Nothing fancy, just a little university fridge, a microwave, 2 counters (+overhead counters for asthetics) and a dishwasher. And yes, everyone uses the dishwasher. A big improvement from washing up in the bathroom sink all the time. I personally love the free food, although I wouldn't mind less cake. Especially the hamburger cake. I now have 2 1/2 of them in the fridge. I do find that a gym is required so if I decide to do a complete overhaul of the dorms (or get one from the gallery) I will be reserving area for gym equipment.

I have not played with dorm life but is it too weird to just throw some of the food away? Feels like wasting?
