In my game I added some premade sims as roomates just to see how would they behave. For example Morgyn Ember has the public affection quirk. He brings home a different girl every single night. He also likes to play violin although he is not pretty good at it. What about you? Have you tried to add a maxis sim as a roomate and what quirks did he/she had?

So far, I've just played one couple that are going through university. One started two semesters behind the other. I'm now in the final semester of the younger one. For two semesters, I played in Wyman or Wyvern Hall? My sim was randomly roommates with Julia and another premade. They got along well enough but went their separate ways after a semester. That hall had a bunch of sims so it was a chaotic mix of violin playing, food, parties, etc. I thought it was amusing and realistic. One sim was "clingy social" for both semesters. He would follow my sim around including to his family dinners but they were barely friends. I haven't seen that mentioned much. Again, I rolled with it.My male sim moved to Darkwing to be in a little bit quieter house with his girlfriend. For two semesters, they lived with this partying guy who would bring over different boyfriends. He was also kind of messy but likeable. There was a really emo guy who lived with him and cried constantly. I realize now that Mr. Emo was probably in love with Mr. Partier who did not care. Mr. Emo moved out and another partier who liked to clean moved in. He and Mr. Partier 1 seemed like a good match. For her final semester, I have the female sim I'm playing living with a bunch of female roommates. I hadn't had that before. I set my settings to unisex and the game was mostly giving me male roommates. I'm not complaining because I really don't care. The universities in my game are more relaxed about that but sometimes I'll make a dorm based around a specific gender for a specific sim. I did this by editing all of the roommies in CAS. I don't yet really know what traits these have.My only rule is that aside from couples, individual rooms will be male or female only. Yes, I know I could have changed the gender for roommies by editing in build mode but I wanted to make my own roommies this time around anyway.

I notice their behavior. If they bring a new date every night its because they have a roomate quirk. That doesnt happen when a sim is not a roomate npc. Also, if they bake stuff ALL the time or they bring food out of NOWHERE thats a quirk. If they have parties or friends over. If they are sad all the time and they dont have the gloomy trait, or if they like to be in the bathtub most of the time. Those are all quirks. There is also a list somewhere in this forum..

You also need to add the sim as a roomate in order for him to express these behaviors.

What roomate quirks do your maxis premades have?

I was playing as Alexander Goth and taking him through uni when I decided I wanted to add some of his friends as roommates. So I got him a big house, moved him into it and asked Duane Talla, Olivia Kim-Lewis and Lucas Munch to be his roommates.

Lucas ended up with the public affection quirk and serenaded and flirted with Alexander all the time - so much so they started dating after a while. Unfortunately, MCCC moved Lucas out to his own place in Windenberg when I briefly switched households. (They later got married after Alexander graduated and he moved in with Lucas).

Duane didn't seem to want to shower or use the bathroom so he was constantly soiling himself. He eventually complained about his needs not being met and dipped out 3 days in. Olivia ended up being the neat freak and was constantly spraying everything. She threatened to leave after about a sim week but by that point, I'd had it so I just kicked her out.

Nice stories. Maybe you should try adding more beds in order to avoid the moving out thing. The game has a weird way of counting them. You should at least four beds if you have three roomates no matter if u have one double and u are a couple with one of them..they will start complaining otherwise. Also maybe an extra bathroom if they are a lot:)

Heh, my Morgyn got the Big Closet quirk. I'm actively playing them now, so no more quirk, but their closet is still pretty big!

Yeah mine have a ton of quirks. Some won't shower, some bring home too many meals, lots of omelettes and lobster LOL. One talks very loud with an echo, and we have an evil Sim that keeps bringing party people over there. Makes it interesting, but some can be annoying!
