Random objects spawning in dorm rooms? [NOT FOOD]

simmietimesimmietime Posts: 103 Member
Anyone playing in dorms notice that the dorms sometimes have random DU plants, dolls, lamps or crystals just spawn out of nowhere in the dorms? I know they spawned because I built the dorm myself and NO WAY did I put these items there! Im not talking about roommates bringing back food, its the random plants etc. that roommates bring back home!

This is insanely annoying as sometimes these objects replace the ones I placed myself.

    Yes, it’s a feature not a bug. It’s your roommates decorating their spaces autonomously.

    You are not supposed to decorate the roommates' corner. They will most times add stuff on surfaces next to their assigned bed. Typically on bedside table, desk and dresser. I don't think they add posters or anything on floor. You can easily (re-)move those items. I'm not sure if they will add new if you remove them, but at least I think they will not dio so until next new term begins.

    Some roomates decorate if they find enough space.

    Problem is, if you place something there, it will get deleted in favor of the new object.

    I don't recommend placing ANYTHING in the dorms anywhere. I've had quite a few things get deleted because of that flaw.

    It's not a flaw. It's a little taste of how EA'🐸🐸🐸🐸.E.E.D. AI works (a teeny example) In TS5 each time we load our games some things will be changed in the world. This tiny design in TS4 is showing us how that AI may work in a very small sampling of townies, in this case roomies, changing things.

    ETA: Have no idea why the filter is blocking the name of the new EA engine AI.
