Game not generating uni roommates

[Misiozel]

Like in the title. Game just doesn't generate roommates in a dorm. Tested with mods, without mods, on an old save, on a new save, in different dorms. Repaired through origin, didn't help. Game is up to date with all expansion packs, playing on PC.

Hi @Misiozel 

Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

• Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
• Tray Folder
• Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
• Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
• Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
• Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

Ok, I'll check it out and get back to you later. Thanks for suggestions!

Alright! So, my issue was partially game-, partially mod-related I guess?

I did as you said, with the factory reset and fix through Origin, and that allowed the clean game to generate roommates. As soon as I added cc it broke again, so I did the 50/50 check, and narrowed it down to bed hiders. And I mean any, bed hiders. As in it hid the full bed in catalogue, to only have the separated frame/mattress version. Everything works now.

Worth noting, that the hiders worked fine with uni/roommates a couple patches back, so something must've changed along the way.

Thank you for your help!
