Apartment Life Room mates!

[laydeek]

For some reason every time I have chosen a room mate, their faces pop up as an NPC (and I can see all of their needs and such) but they never enter the house? and I never actually see them as a sim on the lot. Is that how its suppose to be? I thought I was suppose to interact with them? aren't they suppose to live in the house?  

Please someone help?!

You can interact with them but you can't control them unless you use a cheat code.
 
Have you checked for a hack conflict?

[BenjiLuvsMe1179]

What cheat code lets you control them?  Similar to the pet action controller?

[Squinge]

yes the same cheat code "boolprop ControlPets on"

What I have come to find out guys, that it is the custom content really screws with the game. Once I disabled the custom content ...the game worked as normal. This is probably EA's way of only allowing their content. As most content comes from gamers and the best stuff is custom!

Happy simming!

I've got no problem with custom content and roommates.  I think you need to sort through yours to see specifically which items are causing the problem.

THe same thing has happened to me I call them and say they can be my roomate then they never show up at my flat only on the screen and there needs go down to red and they I never ever see them??

I had the same problem. Turned out it was a BV mailbox file in my downloads folder, and it's not recognized as a hack, but as an object.  It might be tedious, but please go over the steps to remove problem cc over at MTS2.
