[@BannedFromTheaters]

I *don’t* recommend making little apartments for your roommates. I did that - 3 stories with all little apartments that had everything they needed. Locked the door for everyone but them. Assigned their beds and everything. But they kept sleeping at the benches outside and complaining that I didn’t fullfill their needs -_- It was so goddamn buggy :/ It’s better to make a common area for them and just bedrooms. Because trying to make them like little apartments was not a success on my run.

[@mariesalias]

Makes sense I guess as it’s based on the uni programming? Thanks for posting this, it will save me time and my sims money.

[@BannedFromTheaters]

@@mariesalias I think so, but it's still disappointing because I really like the idea of separate apartments? It's kind of making your own City Living, y'know? One thing that was annoying, is that people who lived in single homes still got the "bed notes". Like, how?? Nobody but them can enter that room! Guests and party people just stood on the doorstep because they couldn't enter. Since roommates all have their little "quirks" it's best to just have a common area, because if one person leaves food, or trash everywhere, it's good to have another roommate there to clean it. I might also delete one or two roommates, because I'm having 8 at the moment and experiencing all kinds of glitches...

[@zahrahikmet]

Omg, same!!

[@mariesalias]

BannedFromZoos I agree, it is disappointing. Maybe someone will be able to mod the game to make it function better with this idea in mind. This is the kind of thing players want to do with every Sims version from 2 on, so I can’t imagine there won’t be a bunch of people who will want it this time, as well. Which bodes well for the chances of someone wanting to make a mod for it. :D Do you mean that even though I am building a separate entrance for roommates that they will hang out in front of the house’s main front door because they want to get inside to leave notes but can’t? That would be annoying. My sims are still working on building the basement roommate area (cash-wise) so it’s just got walls and doors so far. Story-wise they are renovating so they can rent out the downstairs to students who will (theoretically) pay the bills so they (my Sims) can afford to go to Uni themselves. So I will try to build it like a dorm I guess. Does that mean it shouldn’t have a stove? Would roommates even use one? Or will my sims have to provide all food via stocking the fridge?

[@gumballz.9259]

@@mariesalias can't build dorm, since your sim won't own it. The dorm would automatically belong to the unis.
