Melissa Roomies

Melissa Roomies is a pre-made Sim in The Sims (console) and The Sims. She lives with Chris Roomies, her female roommate

In The Sims for console, she appears with brown short hair, white shirt, black jeans and white shoes. She and her roommate live at 3 Sim Avenue, an empty house with a big garden outside. She likes to play chess, dance and play the guitar.

In The Sims, they are in the family bin, ready to be moved into a vacant house or onto an empty residential lot.

Melissa and Chris never appeared in The Sims 2. Two Sims that looked like Melissa and Chris did in fact appear in the H&M Fashion Stuff preview wearing the clothes they wore in The Sims (console) version, but it is not confirmed that they are really Chris and Melissa Roomies. If they are, that was the last time they were shown to the public.

Melissa's surname is given as Smith in the console version. However, since the Smiths in the The Sims 2 are of alien descent and seem to have adopted the name fairly recently, she is unlikely to be related to them. She is also unlikely to be related to Twinbrook's Lenny Smith-Jones from The Sims 3: Ambitions, as they don´t share any physical similarities. The name was probably chosen in all three cases simply because it is the most common surname in many English-speaking countries. She could potentially be a daughter or other relative of Saffron Smith, the chef used in promotional materials for The Sims 3 base game, especially since they are of similar appearance (both have dark skin tones and are somewhat overweight); however, this is purely speculation and has not been confirmed by the game's designers.
