Random roommates keep showing up!

My Sim got romantically involved with her roommate and they eventually got engaged. I moved them to a new house. The problem is that there are now a TON of other roommates showing up and helping themselves to beds and food and everything on my lot. I haven't asked any of them to be my roommate and the only way to make them leave is to dismiss them. How can I get these roommates to stop showing up?

    I had the roommate issue a few months back, luckily it is a very easy fix and I second that I hope nobody ever deleted a town over this issue!


    Unfortunately, this issue is common, can be fixed easily using the smartphone just like @igazor explained, yet a lot of people are still posting to delete the town/save or, worst, to perform a clean uninstall in order to fix it...
  • I wasn't able to find "roommate services" after I had the same problem, with a wife who had been a roommate. Random roommates kept showing up, even after the family moved to a new home. Finally, I solved the problem through using the "move" option. It brings up a window where it asks you if you want to remove all the roommates, and I checked "yes." Then instead of picking a new house, I canceled the action. Mysterious, this ended up solving my problem, and the fold-out bed in the living room was no longer occupied.
  • Click on your cell phone and choose Real Estate and Travel Services. Then Roommate Services and Disable Roommate Services. You can also set a max number of roommates and roommate type from here.
