    There are going to be SO MANY EARTHQUAKES in November.

    I'm swaying towards making all of my sims houses filthy. >:)

    If you make Filthy Earthquake lots, I want video of the rats bouncing around

    I live in a massive earthquake zone so I'm not so fond of those but thrilled they are included. But am really pleased with 'filthy'. *grin*

    I can see it in my head:

    Video starts: camera pulls in to a bright sunshine filled neighbourhood.

    Commentary: The residents of Oasis Springs used to be so happy

    Shot of children playing in a park

    Commentary: And then the earthquakes started, coincidentally, when San Myshuno was constructed. And now it is EARTHQUAKE WORLD!!

    Shot of broken buildings and equipment.

    I love this!!!

    I have a feeling I'll have the cleanest city on this forum. :D

    I am excited for all of the apartment stuff, but slightly sad that I can't have more of them in other worlds. I don't mind not building as I am terrible, but I feel like an expensive EP's main feature should be available in all worlds (like placing the apartment shells.

    I wonder what happens with a filthy apartment trait. If the apartments dirty, can you clean it at al? If you can, how soon is it dirty again?

    I wonder on this as well. I will be starting a new game when the EP drops just to do the rags to riches thing. I will be moving into one of those cheap filthy apartments, I hope my Sim will be able to clean it up somewhat. Oh well, if not, that is just an incentive to make lots of money and move, or find and marry a rich Sim.

    Oh, good info here. Sounds like a lot of the things I like. Cool. I really like that we can basically redesign our apartments, that was a big thing for me. Personally not bothered we can't build them but sad for those who really wanted this feature.

    I soo hope the roommates are uncontrolled.

    Yes, I like that we can redesign our apartments too. & move in who we want to as neighbors. I like this level of customization.
    I'm a builder, but honestly not bothered we can't build apartments. I don't remember when we could build apartments...maybe TS2 days. But I am sad too for those that really wanted this feature. I think what's a cool feature....is the traits. We can set up to 3! Some are pre-set & locked, but we'll get some customization in that area too.

    I really like the idea that I can make starter homes icky with rats etc in other worlds. I've been really wanting grungy icky content for some time. I wonder what else this pack will have. :) I do wish they would just tell us everything at once though, lol I hate the keep 'em engaged marketing strategy.

    Me too!! Not sure if I understood the tweet correctly, but it said "you can set the traits on any lot; up to 3"....not sure if this mean any lot as in residential as well, or just apartments. If I'm reading that correctly, I will be so excited....as I want to set every lot in one of my worlds to have an earthquake.

    It's definitely any lot across all worlds... I was just on another thread *looks around* Umm.. I'll go find it and link it here. brb.

    I think it's any residential or venue lots. JM said don't quote him on "all" as special venues (Jobs? Bluffs?) might be excluded due to built in coding.

    I wonder if there are any specialty lots in San Myshuno like the three in Windenburg?

    So unfortunately roommates are just a relationship status like they've always been. I was hoping we could find a non-controllable roommate who would help pay the rent. :neutral:

    I hope so! Like a beach or a quiet lakeside sanctuary away from the hustle of the city but with a killer view of the skyline in the distance!

    It's possible to play without controlling everyone in a household. The Asylum and ISBI challenges are based on that.

    For me the important point about roommates would be that they would have their separate funds. I think that's pretty much what the self built apartments are now missing.

    You can always use regular roommates, get them a job (if they don't already have one) and leave them to their own devices. It's not perfect, but it helps pay the rent.

    I agree with you and @MVWdeZT . I've done the asylum challenges and I love to do them! I was just hoping for a different kind of roommate. It's not horrible, just a little disappointed.

    Oh well. I'll just keep doing the add to household thing, then. I imagine that other than fund issues, it wouldn't be hugely different from playing with autonomy on anyway. BUT... I do think that word shouldn't have been used.

    Okay, I didn't know some of this* info and even I have to admit that some of the things in this EP are making me want to overlook some of the cons I have with it. Which is a first for me... I feel a flicker of something deep inside. PEPS, is that you? O_o

    I don't like being this conflicted, I'm not entirely sure how to respond to this EP now. I need to think.

    I am a little bit sad that roommates are not npc sims, but I still hope we will get some special interactions. However, we will be getting news weekly about this EP so there must be plenty of things to be revealed which makes me really excited!

    No roommates either? Ugh!Half the fun of apartments is finding roommates in the newspaper and seeing who shows up. I can't understand not including a roommate system with apartments.

    Dooooo eeeeeet.

    Yeah, I'm being very tempted at the moment. :) I can already see soooo many potential stories from using the lot traits.
