Potential Roommates Never Show Up
I can't seem to get roommates to work properly. After placing an advertisement for roommates, I never have anyone show up. I am able to ask Sims to be a roommate and they can move in, but I don't hav...

@RandomBuzziness Well, this stuff is definitely interesting! I had 3-4 roommates at the same time okay - I was just at my 10 sims limit. I had one leave a couple of times and just put the ad back up, called them on the phone and invited them over and re-asked them again.
I have been playing another of my households and put an ad in for a roommate over the last couple of days. I'm waiting for a particular sim to come or walk by, but I have had several a day turn up at or in the house that were marked as 'Potential Roommate'.
So weird. Do you have all beds assigned to sims (check by hovering over the bed to see if the assignment stuck - I find it usually takes several times of assigning for some, which is annoying)? Maybe you could try adding a private room with the bed, desk, dresser and bedside table and leave that for the ad applicant?
@SheriGR I have only one Sim in my current household, no pets or other family members. She has an assigned bed in one of the bedrooms, it is a double so for roommate purposes this still counts as two beds. In each of the other two bedrooms there is an unassigned single bed, a desk, a nightstand, and a dresser. So that's four beds for just one Sim! I can't imagine there could be any issue there. I know I am not the only one having this problem so I am not overly concerned.
I have been playing this particular Sim for quite a while now for several other projects. Maybe for some odd reason the problem is not with the houses but are actually with her. I think my best bet is to go ahead and add two roommates by asking them directly and then trying the random roommate method again with a different, fresh household & see if my results are the same or if they'll be different.

@RandomBuzziness You make a very good point that since there are obviously issues that many are having getting (and keeping) roommates it's a good plan to not be concerned and to basically go with what's working for now. And you have had some great success with your roommates. 🙂
