Hi, I don't know if this is the right thread for posting this, but is there any way I could turn Sims University into an actual world file so that the game will detect it as a neighborhood as well?

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Uni World isn't very well suited to be a homeworld without a lot of work -- there's no schools, few career opportunities unless you add some rabbithole lots, and there's no City Hall. Plus it has all the special coding behind it that makes it act the way it does for sims attending Uni.

If what you want is a homeworld that contains a usable university locally,, we usually recommend doing the Homeworld University routine by way of the Careers mod. But perhaps you had something else in mind?

Hi! Thanks for answering! What I want to do is indeed for the University Life world to be a homeworld. I'm aware that I'll have to add all those lots myself, but it's worth the time and effort, since I find the Sims University landscape so beautiful. I know someone turned Paris from WA into a homeworld and was wondering how that could be possible for the University world as well.

It's a decaying world seasoned with the sweat and tears of generations who came to university as young adults full of promised dreams, expectations, and ultimately failures who then returned home after having their fill of herbs and beer keg games to collect rocks and work as subway car cleaners just to pay the bills and keep the Repo Sim away.

(note that in real life they never let me anywhere near the Marketing department, was never really sure why)

That sounds like quite a CAW project, then. Unfortunately I don't know how to use CAW myself, I can barely spell it correctly, But after all this time I bet other players have made up one or more homeworlds based on EA's Uni World. If no one here knows of any offhand, there's always the Where Can I Find It? board in the TS3 section on MTS. There are also some accomplished world designers who hang out there and may be able to help if you would rather design your own world from scratch. But I don't think there's any way to take a special destination EA world and just transform it into a regular homeworld and expect it to behave and progress like one. Maybe I'm missing something, though?
