Is it true I can rent out houses?

Alorapop

I heard if I own multiple houses I can rent them out, and collect rent. Is this true? is so, then how?

I don't know if it's set up exactly like that, but if you have roommates you'll collect rent from them.

Ambitions was one of the first EPs I got, and I have never heard that. Maybe you are talking about how in Island Paradise you can own a resort?

i have this option and i buy houses that i collect rent for im not sure if its from an EP or a mod i have.

I have not noticed such an option with Ambitions. I can buy community lots and rabbit holes though, and collect some of the profit from those. I'm not sure if that's due to Ambitions or that feature was added via a patch.

I think the IP, either the patch or the EP makes it possible to buy a second home. And with UL came the possibility to have roommates that pay rent. But unfortunately I think the roommates always move into the house your sim lives in, so you can't really rent out the second home.

You can actually buy a house for renters if you have Nraas story progression (http://nraas.wikispaces.com/) and the optional money module. If you are interested in this, you can go to the wiki to view how to set it up.

Not true.

I don't have any mods and the house isn't making me any money. ALSO if I ever visit one of the other houses with a group or a date they can't use thee doors to get into the house.

@"C4RT3R H4LL" , I used to have three houses in Riverview (one for the parents and the other two for the children). The girl used to take her boyfriend to her house and spend some time in there.

@Alorapop I just want to say: your signature gif is too adorable.
Also, I'll be following this thread because I'm interested to know how this "rent" thing unfolds. If there is an ability for our Sims to rent out homes, I'm all for it. YAY FOR PROFITS!

I don't think you can rent houses out for income. It would be nice, but I don't think it's possible. You can, as said above, get a roommate and they'll give you money, but they can also be difficult as my experience with Sim roommates was not a good one. They rarely clean up after themselves, you can't control them, and of course they don't repair anything. Maybe I just got a bad egg, but this guy didn't do anything but turn on the radio and eat. He didn't function like a normal sim. He rarely slept, was constantly away from home and in the end my sim despised him and I had to ask him to move out.
