Roommates Should Have More Roommate-Specific Interactions

It's great to be able to click on a roommate and thank them for cleaning, cooking, etc... however, there should be interactions that we can do to make sure that the roommates are happy like asking some of these questions:


  • So you like living here?
  • What would you like me to change about the house?
  • Are your needs being met?


Not these exact questions because this sounds more like an interview than a casual conversation but I think you get the idea. Just things that would allow the roommate to express their feelings before they simply decide they hate you, your house, your parents for having you and your dog for not biting you when he had the chance. (Okay, that's a bit extreme) but anyway, the point is before it gets to the point of them leaving, a chance for us to make changes necessary for them to stay...

I understand that there is some random note thingy that I have not experienced yet but from what I've read and heard on YouTube, those are more of just an amusement and not to be taken seriously, or am I missing something?
  • Yeah I have had my sim live with roommates and there isn't much special interaction between them. It would be good to be able to ask for their opinion on you as a landlord and stuff. Maybe some roommates could have specific needs, like their own bedroom which gives a bit of a challenge.
  • Yeah, I just think that special interactions would make the experience better as well as give you a heads up before things go south. I have one roommate that has been moping around all sad and stuff since I asked him to move in. I mean literally, he was happy while we were talking. I asked him to be my roommate, he accepted and suddenly he is always moaning, sighing and moping around.
