No ASK to Be Roommate option
So I have my uni sim living in a house, not dorm, on campus. I know I can put up an advertisement but I dont want random sims as roommates. I want her friends and boyfriend. But when I click on her f...

@c_clare001 @EuphorialQueen I have done this many times... including with your sim, EuphorialQueen – Reese Chung.
I had three different sims that I wanted for roomies – one that EuphorialQueen made and two that @PugLove888 made. I downloaded these households to my library. I then placed each of the households in the world in a lot then evicted them immediately. This got them in my game save, plus it added them to my played/faved households so they didn't get culled.
Then I did the required things to the home to prepare it to qualify for roommates (please see the information that EuphorialQueen added and linked to).
Next, I put in an advertisement for a roommate (from the computer). I managed over a number of days and rounds of advertising to gradually have all three of these sims either show up for the ad or walk by the lot – in which case I had a sim run out and introduce themselves, chat a bit, then click the person and go to 'household' and select 'ask to be roommate'.
I also have invited to be a roommate a couple of times by calling them as a acquaintance, inviting them over, and then asking them to be the roommate.
Please note that you cannot ask an acquaintance, friend or any sim to be the roommate unless you have an active advertisement posted.
Thanks. I thought you could just ask any friend. Didnt realize you had to move them out of their home and such.
@c_clare001 You should still be able to ask your Sim's boyfriend and those other friends to be a Roommate even if they are not currently homeless or part of a single-sim household, they'll just decline the offer. They'll either say something like no thanks I already have a place to live or that they live in a household where others depend on them.
You are seeing the "Roommates" interactions in your dialog options, right?
I just had my sim get their own place while attending uni. Some friends from the dorms that I want to join my household as roommates, do not have the roommate option. I have 4 beds in the place and currently it is just my sim. My sim did have their boyfriend as a roommate (the boyfriend used to live in the dorms and was still attending uni)
@00lil_bit00 Did you read through the other posts here? There is info about this from different aspects that is helpful here.
- Did the boyfriend move via the 'roommate' offer/interaction option?
- Does the Sim have an add running currently with potential roommates showing up at the door with the 'ask to be roommate, etc., dialogue options?
- Are the roommates in the 'Manage Households' area, or are they NPCs (no household):
- Also... do you have Mods/CC in the game?
