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...

almost a year later and this doesn't seem to be solved =/ I just got Discover University and was never able to match with a random sim. I can only get roommates if I randomly invite them in person
@NatyMotherOfCats Sorry for your frustration! I have not played in dorms, but have played roommates extensively in homes. Just in case there is any info from what I learned about them in that context that may be helpful for you, you are welcome to check here. I hope you may find something useful.
I have 4 roommates but had to actively search out all of them. The advertisement has done nothing to help. I read somewhere (maybe in here?) that potential roommates usually show up between 7 to 11 so I've made absolutely sure to be home during those times (even taking vacation days to do it) and never had one show. Also, not sure if that's 7 am to 11 am, 7 am to 11 pm or 7 pm to 11 pm. But no matter because none ever showed and my sim was forced to go back to work when vacation days were used up.
@PenguinFoop Sorry for your frustration! Did you read through the whole thread to check for things to try and factors that may or may not have been effecting the situation when you advertised for your roommates? It may be worth reading through in case there is something new that you could try.
@SheriGR I just re-read this thread and yes, I've tried it all. In the end, my sim (which wanted to go to university anyway) finally enrolled and moved on campus. I'm scoped out the dorm rooms and noticed that my rooms were much better designed with much higher quality beds than they have in there. Also, the dorms don't have talking toilets and the roomies all use them anyway.
I have noticed though that there are three dressers per bedroom and desks with no pc's. I didn't think to remove my pc's from the rooms in my house. But the roomies I have don't seem to care. A couple of them use them.
But anyway, so I'm in university now and on campus so can't do any more testing on my lot for the time being. Maybe when my dude graduates, it'll be resolved? At least, by then, maybe I can figure out some ways to attract new roomies. I'm in the dorms for this term but I'm going to live in the off campus house for university for next term to see how it's laid out.
P.S. I wouldn't necessarily say I'm frustrated. I'm just trying to figure it out. Usually I'm of the mindset that it's user-error before I jump to it's a bug/glitch. So going from that perspective, I try to research and test different things out before getting frustrated... Again, usually though not always but I try. lol
