Abandoned Food In The Dorm? [Discover University]

My sim lives in the same dorm and on my first day a roommate brought a cake, cookies, pasta, a turkey and lobster for everyone. So naturally I stored all of the food in my minifridge. Never had to buy anything at the cafeteria. Don’t know where she cooks the food though, but one day she brought a plate from the bathroom. Maybe a bug?

I just imagine one of the dormies is in the Culinary Arts track and brings home food they cooked in class. I usually immediately drag any plates into my mini fridge so I always have access to food without having to march off to the caf.

P.s. @kalaksed that was so informative! Thanks for sharing that info ?

I was wondering why these two Sims kept making food appear. I thought maybe it was supposed to be like they were going to visit their parents and their parents were sending plates of food home for the whole dorm.
Also speaking of the hidden roommate traits I also have one who whenever my Sim travels somewhere he invites himself along. I usually try to ditch him and go to another location.

This is really bothering me as well room mates showing up with food, where are they cooking it??? why can't I cook anywhere??? as for the mess I hired a maid for my dorm lol, he's a great help!

Thanks a lot @kalaksed this hidden trait thing for roomates that Maxis made is a fun thing but...it almost feels forced on these poor sims. Especially the trait_RoommateNPC_Archetype_EmoLoner. I had one sim who had it and she was sad all the time. Never happy, ever. Constantly cried in bed.

I removed it with the remove trait cheat and now she is happy and can live a normal life in the dorm.

I don't know, I'll admit that it is kind of amusing. None of mine have brought in lobster thermidor though. Roast chicken, omelets and pasta? Yes. I store whatever I want in the mini-fridge for my sim. I have not added a general mini-fridge.

I didn't know about the other traits but they make sense now. I don't know if they keep those traits if you make them playable later.

I don't have any pictures, but I've also had a bathroom chicken. And plenty of bedroom lobsters.

It was a bit funny at first, but my Sim's dorm gets filled with almost half a dozen large plates of all of this food every single day, and no one cleans it up when it inevitably spoils.

I don't save any of it, because I don't find it very realistic that my Sim eats roast chicken and lobster for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day, while living on campus. :D

I'm just glad we're able to personally drag things to the trash can, though, because I don't feel like wasting my Sim's time cleaning up after everyone else. Also, mods. I'm so very grateful someone released a mod for this, though I haven't tested it out yet.

@babajayne i'll post all the roommate related ones below, but going to link the page with all the uni traits here (it's the very last post on this page, under spoilers because there are a lot of them).

This is honestly the coolest thing. Thank you for popping in and enlightening us! I had a sneaking suspicion it was supposed to be roommates sharing food!

Nah it’s a bug because it’s bugging me. There’s a fridge they could put it in and also a trash can when it’s spoiled. But they choose neither and I’m stuck doing it ?‍♀️

This made me laugh. But, I do get what you're saying. It's frustrating that our Sims can't cook for themselves. I miss the houses on the campus that a few Sims could live at. I miss the cafeteria and having a Sim work there, too. But, having random Sims place food in the dorms for all to partake in, at least my Sims won't starve. :open_mouth:

I like it, not only my sims are not starving but they can eat LOBSTER at uni!! I end up cleaning all the time though and I can’t even leave passive aggressive notes....
