I am loving the roommates-in-normal-houses gameplay, it seems to bring out different personalities. Has anyone else found that? My two uni sims live in Oasis Springs and are attending uni from ther...
Yeah, I've been having a lot of fun with roommates. I really love it for the aspect that my couples can sometimes live together too, but I can leave one to their own devices. I've had a lot of rather interesting things happen since I've started using the roommate system.
One of my fresh university graduates moved into a small house with 3 pretty tiny bedrooms. I decided I'd give it a shot and place an ad for a roommate or two. He (name is Terence Shepherd) ended up renting a room out to Kathrina Kim-Lewis-Goth (the daughter of exactly who you'd expect). She was super clingy and would follow Terence around much of the day, constantly talking off his ears. But they still hit it off, one thing led to another, and they got together! As mentioned before, I really, really enjoy playing roommate couples. It was great. It helped that after becoming a roommate, she was automatically assigned the same career (tech) as Terence, so I could imagine they worked together.
Unfortunately, risky WooHoo and one fateful night later led to a pregnancy and by Kathrina's second trimester (I play long pregnancies) she moved out for reasons that didn't make sense, so I just ended up adding her to the household. That's when I found out that she already had a boyfriend! Deciding to make things interesting, I had her ask her boyfriend to be a roommate (by this point her and Terence were now broken up) and they shared a room. Her boyfriend is an awful roommate. He's hot-headed, so he's always leaving nasty notes everywhere and would argue with their other roommate who had come along during Terence and Kathrina's romance (and is since gone). He also always picks fights with Terence; they nearly despise each other. Not to mention, the guy is in and out of the house at all hours of the day/night, is an entertainer, and constantly plays his violin and he does it horribly. But he and Kathrina get it on well, at least, so I leave it all be.
And then...
Terence has the day off, Kathrina's at work, and her boyfriend is at home doing whatever. He has a friend that visits quite frequently (literally says "Roommates Friend") and this said Sim happens to show up. The two are chatting in the living room, the friend appears flirty, but I'm not paying much attention to it all. Until the two start walking toward the bedroom together and end up WooHooing! I couldn't believe it. My first thought was, can anyone not cheat on each other in this house? Followed by the fact that it must be a game of domino-karma.
This was a thing that went on for a bit, Kathrina eventually found out, and was angry and upset, but didn't break things off. Time passed, relations were mended, and she actually got close with her boyfriend's... boyfriend? Her and Terence's baby has since also been born, named Alexander Shepherd.
And now as I'm typing this, the three are all engaged to each other to be wed, Terence has a rekindled love with someone, and they're all living their happy (tolerable?), yet dysfunctional little virtual lives together in a rather cramped Willow Creek house. ?
I'm sure some of my mods have helped to make parts of this experience more interesting, and although I'm a controlling player, I've been having a blast with this very unexpected storyline and all of its twists.
