Compatible with the October 22 Pre-Life & Death Patch.
Update: I'm sorry I've removed the 50 sim option, as it no longer works well and it lets the game become buggy/laggy as hell.

This mod enhances your roommate gameplay to be better. Three things are changed in this mod:
  • Allows up to 20 lot occupants, instead of the game's default of 10.

    This mod raises the total number of sims living on a lot to 20, in any combination of active sims/pets/roommates. For example if you have 12 beds and 1 active sim, 11 roommates will be generated, or 3 active sims and 20 beds, 17 roommates will be generated. Works on both university housing and residential lots (includes apartments).

  • No more roommates randomly decorating their rooms without your permission.

    By default, roommates will fill their room with random objects like the dolls, lamps and plants from Discover University or base game crystals etc. A lot of the time these objects will even replace the ones you had or even spawn alongside an already used slot (see the plants spawning inside the microwave in the picture!). This is insanely annoying so I removed this behavior. Now your custom built dorms will stay exactly as they are, unless YOU change the rooms yourself.

  • No more roommates coming to community lots with you, uninvited.

    By default, roommates with the "Clingy Socialite" trait have a 33% chance of tagging along with your sim to a community lot. This initially sounded fun but got annoying real fast - I want the sims I invite myself to be at the venue! So with this mod, roommates will not do this anymore.

All three aspects come from the same tuning file, therefore I' providing 4 versions: PLEASE ONLY USE ONE, OTHERWISE THEY WILL CONFLICT!
  • RoommatesHigherCapacity+More - More roommates, no random decorating, no tagging along uninvited.

  • RoommatesHigherCapacityONLY - More roommates. Random decorating and tagging along behaviors remain unchanged.

  • RoommatesHigherCapacity+NoDecorating - More roommates & no random decorating. Tagging along behaviors unchanged.

  • RoommatesHigherCapacity+NoTaggingAlong - More roommates & no random tagging along. Decorating behaviors unchanged.

Installation

Updates
I will try to keep this updated in the future if needed.
