Roommates

But can you write your roommates notes like they write you notes?

I've only recently gotten the Discover University pack and finally got some roommates (ad never did work). But I have 4 roommates because I went out and actively worked to get them. Here is the breakdown so far:

Pranav Banerjee:

Pros:
Sleeps at night in bed
Cleans up

Cons:
Bakes cake after cake after cake after... well you get the picture

Habits:
None so far

Mario De Santa:

Pros:
None noticed yet

Cons:
Does not sleep in his bed (but at least leaves the lot and comes back apparently well rested and in high spirits)

Habits:
Watches TV

Akira Kibo

Pros:
None noticed yet

Cons:
Naps on couch instead of sleeping in bed
Will not bathe (but sometimes uses the hot tub)
Doesn't leave the house mostly

Habits:
Watches TV sometimes
Uses the hot tub sometimes

Matthew Gossett

Pros:
None noticed yet

Cons:
Always sad, I mean ALWAYS SAD
Never bathes
Doesn't sleep in bed
Naps in hot tub

Habits:
Uses the hot tub sometimes
Leaves the house sometimes

To be fair, I don't really have much in the way of entertainment and it's early spring so too cold for the pool. So TV and hot tub really are the only entertainment at the moment. I have an entry level job and $13k in weekly bills so can't afford to put in a stereo or anything else until I get a house full of roommates.

EDIT: Just checked on Matthew and he was napping in the hot tub. Added that to cons.

Also, I wonder if they prefer single beds or double beds? I have doubles for all of them but only one ever uses his.

For room mates you have to assign the bed to them, otherwise they will nap on couches, in the hot tub.

The different personality types for them sounds interesting to investigate.

I found a list online showing the possible roommate traits. Each come with a pre set personality trait, which is only used by roommates. Like some will focus on bringing food, some will focus on repairing anything broken, etc. I think the list had 15-20 versions, I don't recall where I found it (Simsvip?) but you could probably google it.

Hey, guys, this is from a year ago. I don't need help on this anymore

This touches on one of the Sims 4's biggest problems, in my opinion. In 3, random sims would actually do things. Sims would show up at my house occasionally, and once there, would engage in things that involved other sims, including my own. The NPC's just felt more real. Whereas before, it felt like my sims were part of a bigger picture, now they seem the entire picture, and that's boring.
