Roommate Question

No you don’t, you just request one via phone and you can choose from 4.

That's good to hear. I am hoping the roommates are similar to that of the ones in Sims 2 The Apartment Life, where we did not just automatically control them. They would come and go as they pleased.

That's exactly how they said they would be in the stream.

What is the max amount of roommates you can have?

@AquaGamer1212 idk do you have a source?

I just really need to know for sure that you dont have to be a university student to have roommates before I allow myself to get too excited.

They confirmed it on the livestream. SimGuruAzure was one of them that confirmed. You can either place an add and up to 4 sims will visit your house daily to see if you want to add them. You can also ask a sim to be your roomate. On the latter some will move right in but some if they have a child won't.

I have asked this but I got different responses so i am confused- if i have my sim in a dorm could i replace the automated npcs by asking other sims to be my room mates, but they would stay as npcs as well? I know we can do this in houses but can we do it in the dorms?

For dorms, your roommate sims can't be asked directly to be roommates, nor use the new system to look for roommates. Dorms will be populated automatically with roommates because they're classified as "university housing". The only way to use the roommate system would be to change the classification to "residential". Which I believe can be done to the dorm buildings, but if you're using it as "university housing" specifically, then the roommates will populate automatically.

I m worried about the dorm having 10 sims living in it. Normally only 8 are allowed. I'm concerned that this will cause extreme lag.

I think they meant you can have up to ten sims. Minimum is four.
