Hello all. I've made this lot a long time ago for the university round. It has 16 rooms and on a big lot. It is a bit laggy to play in but I really like the architecture in this one.
This is not a cc free lot. I strongly recommend using Sims 2 Pack Clean Installer to install this lot and for all your other lot and sim installs in Sims 2.
All the cc used are linked in my resources page. Let me know if you see something I've used but not listed there and I will add it!

This one is inspired by the Bauhaus building! One of my favourites in architecture history.
Here is the cc free dorm I was working on a little while ago. I really like how it turned out.
There is a residential version included in the download you can install both. There is a blocked entrance on one of the dorm rooms but it is easily fixed with moveobjects cheat.
Hello everyone, this is the master post for all the buildings I created for my university hood. There isn’t much in here yet but I have plans to build greek houses, houses for students to rent and corner shops maybe an arcade.
I used the Pitchfork River map which is made by M.M.A.A. from Modthesims. I added the map and the links to the lots under the cut as I will keep updating this post to link to the new builds I make in the future.
The buildings are numbered to make it easier for navigation.
Evergreen Library and Student Union
Evergreen Tech Pool and Gym
Evergreen Bar and Bowling Alley
Evergreen Tech Shops
Puddletown Dorms
Here is a closeup of the main attraction of the building and the reason for why almost all of the lots have L shapes. This Square is what I was aiming to create.
This is the last of my build a hood master posts. The city that started it all: Grandrapits!
You’ve seen me share these lots one by one for the past 2 years and I finally decided on the district names so I can share the map with you! I built this neighbourhood to play with the sims I created. I guess it’s also called build a hood challenge, or something similar. I’m not up to the lingo but I wasn’t really building or playing it as a challenge. This all started when I found myself bored with the premade hoods and when I found the pooklet method of creating new sims.
Anyway, enough history lesson. I’m sharing this hood and the district names with where every lot is placed in case if you also want to create your own hoods but don’t want to create buildings for them. I used the similarly named, because I’m so creative with naming, Grandrapits map from Modthesims made by Suhina-Lempi.
More info is under the cut!
Here are the names of the districts. Each district has a distinct architectural style. New Beginnings and Downtown uses the “industrial loft turned residential space”, Silverpine is “suburbia with somewhat modern houses” and New Haven is going to be ”tropical”.
I, of course, have plans for more lots. I’m only on second generation so there are no distinctly rich households yet. I’m planning on creating rich household district in Goldenhills, beach tropical ones in Butterfly Cove and small, cheap apartments in Downtown. (I’m also thinking of making a one big apartment lot with apartments for 3 people each -like starting the founders with roommates- and 4 or 5 apartments in total for a mega starter apartment on that empty square in New Beginnings but we’ll see.)
New Beginnings is where my sims have started their journey, all of the founders have now moved to Silverpine and the first kids are almost off to university. Which made me get side tracked and start building a university hood for them called Evergreen Institute of Technology. Some of you may have come across its master post. At the time I’m typing this post my game is giving me a lot of grief like missing nightlife clothes and random crashing which kind of made me lose my enthusiasm for building more. I had to completely reinstall the game and decided to rebuild my downloads folder which is taking a lot of time. But I digress, let’s take a closer look at the lots and districts:
This is the part of the town I spent the most time in. Here we see New Beginnings and Downtown districts. Here is the list of the lots and their respective links:
Grandrapits Apartments
Grandrapits Town Houses
Grandrapits Twin Condos
Grandrapits Social Housing
The Warehouse
Grandrapits Central Park
Grandrapits Mall
The Static
Founder’s Restaurant
This is New Haven. I have plans for a bar and a restaurant across the beach but still haven’t gotten around to building them. Here is the one lot there so far:
Haven Beach
This is Rosehills. At the moment it has pet and human cemeteries. If I have ideas for theme appropriate lots I may build more. Links:
Grandrapits Cemetery
Grandrapits Pet Cemetery
And so far the last district I’ve been working on Silverpine. The suburbia of the founders. Here is the link to their lots:
5 Founder’s Avenue
10 Founder’s Avenue
15 Founder’s Avenue
20 Founder’s Avenue
25 Founder’s Avenue
30 Founder’s Avenue
Maybe in the future when I feel like the hood is complete enough I’ll release a neighbourhood I just don’t know how to go about doing that with all the cc in these buildings. Until then though, if you want to recreate or just use a lot you need you can refer to this and 3 other neighbourhoods linked in my tumblr.
Evergreen Campus Shops - 3x3 - Clothing and Electronics Shops
Hello everyone,
This is the last build for my University so far. I have plans for building some houses for rent, another but more modern looking dorm, possible greek houses with modern architecture, as I’m not a fan of eclectic buildings, and a little corner grocer in the residential area.
I will share the map and the ‘hood view when I find the time to show you all, how I planned for these 4 lots to appear. I’m open to ideas about what else I can build for the university hood.

I have a lot of CC and I’m not up to everyone’s TOU. However if I violated anyone’s TOU feel free to contact me and I’ll remove your CC from the lot.
Apologies if I forget to tag/mention anyone in the cc list!
This is the first lot of the Haven area of my ‘hood. This is a beach lot for your sims to visit and play around. Has a bar and grill as well as a wedding mat over the sand overlooking the ocean.

This is an edit of another lot I created a while back. I edited the exterior to fit in with Veronaville’s architecture because I made this lot for my downtown of Veronaville; Verona City! It has a pet shop, clothing store, grocery store and electronics store.
