I am scratching my head trying to figure this out.I enrolled everybody I wanted to live together to Foxbury (which was a hassle in itself), and moved one of them in so I could ask the rest to be roommates. I deleted every random NPC roommate so there would be available spots, but I can't find the proper interaction to move anyone in as roommates. I've tried finding the interaction to ask for roommates on both phone and computer also. Is it even possible to have your own roommates in University Housing? Or is it just in residential?

You can only ask for roommates via residential lots.

@AquaGamer1212 Thank you for clearing that up :smile: Guess I can just change it to residential even though it is one of the penthouse lots? Only difference is that they have bills and not rent, plus they'll even have a stove haha. I think they'll just go to "not in world" when I remove them, but I'll definitely give it a go!

Tested it now, when removing from family the removed sim does not turn into a roommate, but actually completely disappears (does not appear in manage household)! Tried to assign the removed sim to a bed (since roommates are not in manage households either) but they were not an option. Please do not do this guys! Luckily I was just in a test-save so I did not lose anyone important ?

If you have GT you can use the club system to choose your roomies. You can use the same method for sororities and fraternities. Make a club and add the other sims you want as roomies. Set the Affiliation of the dorm to the club name. You can choose a single gender if you want a Greek House too.Only sims in the club should be able to move in to that lot. You could set up the club as teens.

Wait so, if I send a sim to university, then I for example, send another sim from a different household to the same uni and dorm building. Will the other sim act as npc, or would it just merge them into one household forcing me to control both sims whenever I play the dorm?
...Hope that makes sense? I dont even have it yet, just wishful thinking

They’d both be playable, you can’t choose your roommates in university housing.

Hmm... unless you use clubs from Get Together? That seems to be possible.

If that works I am so going to make spellcaster-dorm for a club of spellcasters. They can do duels and potions hidden away in their dorm.

Oooh is this confirmation the uni housing will recognise GTW clubs as 'organizations'??

Yes. It didn't show on Sims Camp videos/screenshot because GT wasn't installed.

I think you can move them in and then remove from household but I don’t know if they stay as NPC roommates tho, that’s one question I haven’t gotten answered yet
