One thing I find a little annoying is the fact that quite a few roommates tend to bring full meals of food over every day and leave them sitting all over the place. They always end up spoiling and it looks horrible.
Haven't found a mod to fix it yet but you CAN do it manually with cheats (if you're on a PC).
It's easiest if you have the Sim Info mod. There's a hidden trait on some sims "trait_RoommateNPC_Archetype_Mealmaker" that will trigger them to bring a meal over every day. This is NOT limited to the school dorms! I had a home and just found a roommate and they did it too. You can see the trait with the Sim Info mod under "Hidden Traits" to verify they have it, but if the sim constantly brings over food, they likely have it.
You can remove it but not by using the UI Cheats menus. The trait won't show up in the UI menu.
The easiest way to do it is like this... It's a simple modification of the standard remove traits command. I've pieced it together from things found on the internet, internal Sims 4 python scripts and a little experimentation.
The sim I had as a roommate was L. Faba. I wanted to remove the trait without having to add her to my family. (didn't want to possibly screw up the "roommate" system.) I removed the hidden trait by bringing up the console and typing this:
sims.get_sim_id_by_name L. Faba
( it responded:) 817414319375190745
traits.remove_trait trait_RoommateNPC_Archetype_Mealmaker 817414319375190745
And that was it. Now, If I can only figure out how to add that function to the interaction wheel so I can just click on a sim and do it...

if you know how to use cheats to adjust traits, you can design your roommates as you see fit (which is something i've been doing lately). if you don't know but want to learn, page 10 of the hidden traits discussion explains it (with me showing how to make any sim you want into one of your ages, but you can use the first set of commands for everything, just adjust the hidden traits you want to equp from the list later down on the page)
