Sims 4 Roommates Mod (Download) – All Free (2023)

We all want somebody in our life, right? A friend, a confidante, or a romantic partner. The same goes for your sims as well. Living in a house all alone might get boring for them with no one to talk to or spend time with. Therefore, the Sims 4 roommates mod offers your sim a chance to get a roommate who’d be their friend, confidante, and so much more. Another benefit of having a roommate is the extra income, which doesn’t hurt anyone. 

So let’s know more about this mod, and then you can decide for yourself if you wish to download it or not. 

How to Get Roommates in Sims 4

The roommate mod in Sims 4 allows you to get one or up to 20 roommates for your sims, but they won’t live with your sim in your household. Here’s how you can get a roommate – 

• Go to your sim’s phone or computer and choose “LMS Roommates Service.”
• You’ll only get the option of sims that are homeless, and toddlers and pets are also allowed as roommates, but their parents or owners would also come with them.

Features of Roommate Mod

• The sims would pay $500 as rent every Friday and would continue their normal life of going to school or job. The young adult roommates would choose their own career paths. 
• You’d be a keeper of your roommates, and you can call them via your phone. 
• You can also add a “Roommate Lot Trait” in the home lot, which would lead to your roommates coming back to the lot on their own. 
• Your roommates can get pregnant as well, and you’ll get a notification regarding who got pregnant and who’s the father. However, they can’t give birth because they are technically homeless, so you’d have to eliminate the Roommate Agreement and add them to your household, or you could shift them to a different lot. 
• Your sim can go out with their roommates to clubs, and when they come back, they’ll return to their roommate situation.

Roommate Interactions

You can control your roommate by using the “Pie Menu” that would appear and interact with them in the following ways – 

• Go and use the toilet before you pee yourself to increase their understanding of using a toilet.
• You stink. Please go and take a shower will boost their need to take a shower or bath.
• It is late already. You should go to sleep. This interaction will command them to sleep.
• Can you go and repair the broken items, please? Using this interaction would urge them to repair things.
• You are on cleaning duty interaction would lead to them cleaning the lot.
• Cancel roommate agreement would remove the sim as your roommate when you click on them.

Object Interactions

• Assign bed to roommate – This interaction would allow you to choose where that sim would sleep when they arrive. 
• Open door for roommate – If your door is locked, then this option will appear for you to open it. 
• Call roommate home – If the roommate sim isn’t on the lot, you can call them via the phone
• Cancel roommate agreement – You can use your phone and go to the household menu to remove a sim as your roommate.
• There are interactions regarding pets as well, such as pet bowls, pet beds, call over on pets, and so on. 

Issues with Roomate Mod 

There are times when the game would move your homeless sims to home lots, which means that those sims would not be your roommates anymore because the mod won’t work. This incompatibility arises if you have an MCCC mod downloaded in the game. Therefore, to avoid such an issue, you must flag the sims to remain homeless in the MCCC by changing your settings or by reloading a backup. Another thing that you can try is to remove the sim from your household as well, which would make them homeless again, and then add them back as roommates again.

At the end of the day, you must process the pros and cons of a mod, and this mod offers more benefits than drawbacks.
