It's the Allow Stoves mod!
I'm another one it's happening to.
I don't have the allow stoves mod. I removed my beds mod. It's still happening.
(It is a mod, though, that's stopping me. I can edit dorms if I take my mods folder out.)
It's obvious that the community wants to be able to edit dorms if we choose to. It's obvious we want to be able to use mods if we choose to.
This is a single-player game. It doesn't hurt or affect anyone else if we break the "rules".
Why enforce the "rules"?
I found the mod that causes the problem for me. Yes, it was a mod that allows stoves - it came as part of a bundle of mods and I'd not thought to check that bundle. Could have saved myself a lot of time if I had.
Ah well. That's life. Hakuna Matata.
As for my rather angry rant: I apologise for the tone. And for the fact that it didn't convey what I wanted it to.
So. Take 2.
I love the flexibility this game usually has. Want to have a male character who can be pregnant? Sure! Want a mage to attack an alien? No problem. Want to control every action your character makes? Easy. Want to set up a situation and then have the characters deal with it while you're completely hands-off? Go right ahead.
But if I want to change the rules of dorm living to allow them to cook properly, I can't.
Why on earth not?
(PS: Culinary Arts is a degree. How are they supposed to practice?)
I actually did have a mod I hadn't noticed: it's part of the Little Miss Sims smallmods mod package. University subfolder, Remove the mod that permits stoves, and University works as intended.
I still want to be able to have a stove on the Uni lot. 😞
