Hi there. I'm hoping you can help me better understand how the optional files work. Can I only use the optional files (no leaving, arguments, etc.) if I use another roommate mod? Or will those add ons only work with your main script file? Do the optional files still work as of this patch? The CF update confused me because it didn't include the optional files in the .zip, so are they all rolled up into the script now?
If possible, I think many of us would love a standalone versions of the add ons, as they're very useful.
This mod doesn't work anymore in version 1.111.102.1030, please update it. Known issue no leaving roommates didn't work because roommates will eventually leave, No busy for drama also not working because there will still be drama pop-ups like "forgot the key". I'm still not testing all of it, but I hope you can update all of your mods because your mod is really a great help to me xD
For no leaving roommates: Only no leaving for distress reasons are prevented. Leaving due to age up or pregnancy or birth and maybe others I do not remember atm may still happen. => works as intended.
For no busy for drama: Added a no busy condition to the filter for the dramas like forgetting key. The roommates should not trigger the events when they are supposed to be at work.
=> There still will drama happen, but not for the roommates that should be at work. So, works as intended.
Is it possible to make this work with Littlemssam's choose roommate mod? Her mod allows up to 20 roommates, and whether I add or remove her Addon CAP 20 then adding roommates maximum 999 mod, I can only have up to 20 roommates.
Worked in the past as far I remember. The Addon CAP is useless, therefore do not add it. I do not use LittleMsSams choose roommate mod anymore, as I use an other one: "Control any Sim". That let you choose your roommates via actions ...
Edit: LittleMsSams choose roommate does not work for me. I have atm 12 roommates. When I try to add one via the mod nothing happens. When I add them via actions ... add roommate it works. No idea what is going wrong.
Will test as soon as posible. Meanwhile: I normally use it with MCCC or "Control any Sim" or by simply asking them to become a roommate. As posted before LittleMsSams choose a roommate mod does not work as it calls the wrong function for adding the roommates via xml definitions and I do not know how to do it right.
Cheats => Sim Info => for expansion packs => University => add roommate to household. (or something like this. Well, this is not the MCCC support forum)
Found a solution for LittleMsSams Choose your Roommate mod to be compatible. I bought the Get Together Package and realised that the StayOvernight Sims were prevented be be add if your household + roommates were more than 8. The next version will fix this. Is currently under test.
just wondering if there is a way to edit the rent each roommate will/can pay? I have 5 roommates currently and they are only paying $80 each.. it's not contributing to my bills very much and was just wondering if there is a way to adjust this. I haven't seen anything online so not sure it's even possible but thought i'd ask anyways!
Hello, I stumbled about the implementation in Python some time ago for the roommate waive rent mod. With some python knowlegde for sure but with quite an effort if never modded before with python to set up the workbench:
See roommate_service.py. Method _do_rent. rent_per_sim = int(household.get_home_lot_value()*self.RENT.rent_modifer/(len(household) + roommate_count)) As a start I can give you the codes for my Roommates Waive rent, where I decorated that method.
Or directly decorate the RENT tunable and change rent_modifier. (rent_modifier has the default value of 0.5)
Or by creating a real mod, adding a button to the roommates dialogue to enter a value for the rent modifier and then decorate the method and replace the value by the input value and then think about storing it somewhere, so it is available after reload.
Are you still updating this? I'm on Vers. 1.79.93.1030 (sept. 7, 2021) because I can't have more than 8 room mates. I don't have any mods conflicting with this one(i don't think)
Can not confirm. Via mccc and LittleMsSams choose a roommate and by asking via the interaction "Ask to become roommate" it works. I just added the pizza delivery sim to my household with more than 15 roommates. What exactly happens at your game? (Maybe I did not test it enough, as I stoped after receiving the confirm message.) Please test with a sim, that is definitly not a roommate of an other household, that you have enough beds (and the right ones, some seem not to be counted), etc. etc.
Sorry for the long reply stopped playing the game for a bit and forgot about this post. You know trying a different sims didn't occurred to me. It works but the sims I wanted to join as a room mate is still un available. The sims that is bugged is Lana McKinnon When I interact with her I get the usual friendly, funny, flirty, mischief, mean, and action. But I don't get other option where the room mate option is. I used MCCC to remove her from family to see if that would make it appear but no such luck. After posting this I will try adding her to my family, removing her and see if that works.
Can you check to see if she is bugged on your end or is if it's my save. Thanks for the idea of trying a different sim.
EDIT: So it works. To get round the bug is to add the person into my family, and remove them. Then the other bubble that contains the roommate option appears.
Isn't Lana McKinnon the NPC University professor? I think the same should happen with the other professor as they are excluded by vanilla. They have a hidden trait for that. I think they are normally excluded from becomming roommates. As soon you add them to your houshold maybe that trait is removed, as they are not longer suitable as professor. I think you can achieve the same by removing the hidden professor trait via the cheats. So it is not bugged in your save nor on my end. Just a sims 4 feature. In fact this mod does nothing on the conditions, all it does is increasing two constants in the python code to 999.
Never knew about the trait and never went to college yet so I don't know any professors. To be honest I just get a bunch of random sims to be roommates with and just thought that it glitched on my part. Thanks again for replying
Roommates are not houshold members. The roommates from Discover University are meant. (Simply put the files into the Documents\Electronic Arts\Die Sims 4\Mods folder, but be aware to use only one of the "no leaving" optional files.
I've found this mod following the thread on ea forum, as it's supposed to make roommates stay longer. I wonder if you can make version disabling LOW_ENERGY reason for leaving too, I figured it can cause troubles if roommate can't find a bed.
Hello. Thats an other mod. I did not publish it yet as I did not test it yet well. (Atm I am playing a student and extended the Mantikor for 40 beds). Besides I'll add that to the optional files here. It should work, but I am not sure.)
I'll add a Version where the LOW_ENERGY reason is removed from the reasons. (On this Weekend)

Thank you for your hard work!
Ah sorry, made a mistake in the CF update.

But I played with it in my big castle 2 days ago. At least there, based on an old save, I did not saw any strange issues.

I think I see the issue. Will update it.
