Profitable Roommates


This mod rebalances how much rent roommates pay in The Sims 4, making it significantly more profitable for your main Sim.

By default, the game calculates rent each roommate pays with this formula:

Rent per tenant = Lot Value × 0.0175 ÷ (Total Household Sims + Roommates)

This mod changes the multiplier from 0.0175 to 0.05, meaning roommates pay nearly three times more per rental period.

Practical Example

For a lot valued at §20,000 with one player Sim and four roommates:
  • Default: Each roommate pays ~§70, generating about §560 per week.
  • With this mod: Each roommate pays ~§325, boosting total income to over §1,000 per week.

So, it becomes a much more lucrative setup, especially for story-driven gameplay where you build and rent out rooms.

Requirements & Notes
  • Requires the Discover University expansion pack.
  • You can’t customize the multiplier within the mod itself—it’s fixed at 0.05.
  • Only install one version of the mod to avoid conflicts.

Why It’s Useful
  • Adds realism to the roommate system by making it financially viable.
  • Perfect for legacy players, landlord-themed gameplay, or Sims building economies around rentals.
  • A straightforward quality-of-life tweak that turns a bargain feature into a genuinely useful one.
