Roommates following my sim home from University

My sim just graduated University, and when she went back home 3 of her dormmates followed her and got added to her household. I got rid of them with Master Controller, but it's still odd. I've never had that happen before. Has anyone else?

  • Hi @becks1112

    I tried googling this issue because it does sound so strange but could not find anything lol Then I remembered the roomate option on the phone that I think came with uni as I once had roomates turning up to my sims active lot and had no idea why then later find out the roomate service on my phone was ticked as on so maybe it could be that and somehow the game thought they were sending roomates back to your home world with you? Anyway just a thought I hope you manage to sort it out as I would find that annoying too-)

    Re: Roomate feature with Sims 3 University. 2 the way to pick and choose roommates is to use roommate services on a phone, select the real estate and travel Services option, and then select “Roommate Services on/off
  • This is a commonly reported issue with Dorms and the Frat/Sorority Houses for both those who use mods and those who do not. Usually the first sign that this is about to happen is that the roommates become part of the controllable "household" while still in Uni World.

    I've never seen this myself, but if it did happen I would probably use MC's Add Sim to give the ones who followed my sim home a household of their own in town rather than trying to get rid of them entirely. Unless I really didn't like those sims and didn't even want them in my world, I guess. :)

    I guess I'll do that next time. This time, they've been annihilated.
