The dorms that came with The Sims 4: Discover University are less than beautiful, adding some realism to the University experience. Except, a lot of us want to edit the dorms to fit our sim’s personality.
The Sims team made a decision to make dorm rooms without full build mode capabilities so they could switch it up for live drag objects instead.
This means that you’re unable to edit your dorm rooms in build mode if there are sims currently living there. Let’s go into how to edit dorms in The Sims 4: University so you can edit the dorms to your liking!
For the Sims 4 I have downloaded custom content to make really good sims however some of my CC won't appear in CAS at all, I've looked all over for a solution yet none have worked. In my Mods folder I don't have any sub folders and only 109 items, I've tried deleting the resource file and letting the game to generate a new one yet that too hasn.

I’m lunasysims, and I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be joining The Sims Community as a weekly.

How to Edit Dorms
The Sims 3 Custom Content
If you have a sim currently living in a dorm and you wish to edit it, you can do so with cheats! Oh, how we love cheats.
You can load up the dorm room with your sim active, and open up the cheat box by hitting ctrl + shift + c and then type in testingcheats true. That cheat will allow other cheats to work, not always necessary but is nice to use to make sure everything works.
Sims For Custom Content
Then you’re going to use the free build cheat by typing bb.enablefreebuild to open up the ability for your sim to edit the dorm. This is also the cheat that you use to edit things like hospitals, police stations, etc, from the active careers in The Sims 4: Get to Work.

After hitting enter with the bb.enablefreebuild cheat you’ll be able to open up build mode and edit everything in the dorm!
Final Thoughts
Not being able to edit dorms without cheats is a little annoying, I will admit. However, there is an easy fix to edit dorms in the game. Any questions? Leave them in the comments!
