So what DO roommates actually do?

So I'm building some spaceships for self contained lot (as in sims never leave spaceship/home lot during their travels) and for larger ships I picture it having large amount of sims on board but I will only control like 4-6 (allowing for kids, ect). So my solution was to use the Sims 4 "roommate" mechanic to fill up the ship and specifically by using a mod that "lets you chose" your roommates thats the only roommate mod I know off.

As I'm not very familiar with the Sims 4 roommate system so my question is - how do roommates act within a home?

Maybe just a yes and no to these questions and any suggestions how to make them be more "alive" if needed.

Do they,

die?
age?
eat?
flirt?
woohoo with your sims?
woohoo with other roommates?
use items on lot based on their traits/disklikes, ect?
do they just eat sleep and talk?
can they get married?
get pregnant?
can u date them?
do they cook?
do they leave for good after x amount of days?

anything else?

And is there any mods u recommend to improve roommate behavior?

thanks

    Agreed!

    OP - unless you are looking to add a horrific violin soundtrack to your spaceship, I’d pass on inviting them aboard!
  • Thanks for all your responses, does anybody know if you can select roommates beds like you can household sims? Basically so i can give each roommate his own "cabin" on the ship?
  • I have a question about roommates. I have a Snow White & her 7 Children household. Now, I'm attempting my 1st Legacy Challenge with her youngest child that will be her heir. I have made sure her children have assigned beds & made her two eldest children roommates. My question is, how many roommates can I have?

    Yes, you can assign beds to roommates just the same as you would to household members.

    Roommates act as household member count, so if u have 6 sims than u can only have 2 roommates. However their are some basic mods that have been around since forever to increase household limit that also allows you to have more roommates (since its increasing hte household limit which in turn increases how many roommates u can have)
