The Sims 4 game serves the gamers with two options to add a roommate to the Sims household.

• One way is to ask anyone who is a friend of yours in the game to be your roommate directly, their response will probably be negative, but it’s always worth a try.
• Their answer might include reasons like I already have a home, or I live with my family, etc. If they agree, they will move right in.

Living With Roommates

Perhaps the best part of living with your roommates in the real world is that they become like a second family of yours.

The same happens in the game.

The Sims 4 roommates become a part of your everyday life and have a lasting effect on your sims and their wrestling life.

The mere fact that you have chosen these roommates for yourself must guarantee you decent conduct from them.

But as we know, nothing is for sure, and maybe all your deductions might get flushed down into the gutter, and your roomie comes out to be an outright jerk.

Well, if anything happens its good to know the perks and regressive of living with a roommate sims 4, so have a look:

Perks of Living with a Roommate

• They may sometimes do some cleaning here and there and help you with some cooking. (if you have made a smart choice).
• They will give you some money every few days. The amounts of cash you receive will depend on your bills, and the number of roommates living in your household.
• They may do some dishes and help with other housework.
• You will always have someone at your house to chill with.
• You can have Non-playable Characters as NPC roommates.

Problems of Living with a Roommate

• Some Roommates never leave home for any reason. This could make you feel suffocated while living with them sometimes.
• Some roommates are extraordinarily messy and leave piles of food and dirty dishes everywhere in and around the house.
• Some roommates throw out surprise parties disrupting your whole routine.
• Roommates may never(or might, in some bizarre cases sometimes) move out independently. You have to kick them out.

Living with your Roommates and all is fun, but while taking care of your university sims, you feel like you cannot pay attention to your child sims and their schooling.

The Sims 4 Homeschool mod is like a blessing in disguise for you; this mod allows you to send your sims to private schools in your town and homeschool them under your supervision.

If you are looking to know more about it, do not stress yourself as we have your back.

Moving Out of A Sim

In some unusual or Bizarre cases, your Sims 4 roommates might decide to move out on their own, as I had discussed in the last point.

This might happen if they feel like you are invading their personal space or need a place of their own. If they happen to decide to move out, then your roomie will promptly disclose to you their desire to move out, and you will receive a notification reading something like the following from your Roommate:

“it seems like my time here has ended. With age comes new advents. I’ll be moving out by the end of this day.”

When this happens, your sims will usually move out in a day, you can put out an advertisement for a new sims roommate after this, or you could choose to live all alone.

In case you want to kick out your roomie sims, you can do that using the roommate social menu.

Important Information

• Roommates are not confined just to the universe of Britechester. Regardless of where your Sim lives or living in a standard home, loft, or penthouse, you can have flatmates.
• The number of roommates you can have depends on the number of extra beds you have. This is the same for both the college lodging and regular gameplay.
• University roommates are generated automatically, and they will claim their beds too.
• Occasionally you may find a note close to your bed on the floor that appears to show up all of a sudden.
• These notes are from your magnificent Millenial chaps. They can be mean notes about you not tidying up the dishes or merely other arbitrary show notes. They’re hilarious, so I recommend reading them.

Answers To Possible Questions and Queries

Sometimes, the roommates might never show up at your door even after you have placed an Ad for a potential roommate; even after a wait of several Sims days, you might still have the same result.

• If you also are stuck in the above situation, here are a couple of simple methods you can try to fix this problem of yours:
• Try asking a Sim to be your roommate and see if they can move in.
• Try canceling and reposting the Ad and wait again.
• Try new saves and closing and repairing your version of the Sims game(there might be a bug).
• Put as many extra beds as you can afford and ask your fellow sims to live with you, observe that if they are having any problems in living.
• Try allowing an entire room for your lads. This will provide them with some extra space where they could bring in their junk.
• In case you have any pets, try and allow them in a separate bed.
• In case you have any Sims 4 roommate mods or CC active in your game, try moving them to the desktop and deleting the localthumbnailcache.package file.

Sometimes, after downloading University Life, the option to add university sims doesn’t show up.

You may have tried finding the Roommate options on the computer or cell phone mailbox interactions and through social interactions, but adding the roommate feature does not seem to exist for your game.

• Above all, it is essential to understand that university life sims 4 should not affect your roommate feature of the game, but if you face this problem, then there could be some possible reasons for that, which you should try fixing:
• Have enough beds in your household for each roommate you want to have.
• Have a separate mattress for any pet you may have in your home.
• Doing this will help you post Ads in your game and make roommates accessible for you.

In my opinion, the Sims 4 Roommates is a must try out for every Sims game lover and most importantly if you have the sims 4 discover university EP. This feature will only end up adding to your fun of playing this game.
