Still buying City Living?

MrMonty96 · September 2016

With the recent news that apartments and elevators are not buildable from scratch and only available in San Myshuno I was really disappointed. I was so excited for building cool apartment blocks for richer Sims or maybe grungy industrial areas. But then I realised there are still so many other features in the pack like festivals and basketball (and of course new beds). So I want to know who is still buying the pack despite the recent news.

Wait wait wait...elevators are exclusive to San Myshuno only?

MrMonty96 · September 2016

That's what it looks like, the elevators are attached to the apartment shells which are only available in San Myshuno

For anyone who is disappointed, you achieve nothing from purchasing the game anyway. In a way that is saying their decision is okay.

I don't find it acceptable - and I won't be buying the pack. I also highly encourage everyone to look at the strict limitations imposed on apartments and if that disappoints you too, then do not buy the pack. That honestly is the only way to make a difference now. Feedback doesn't change anything.

We haven't been told yet if the elevators will be available to use in other buildings via build/buy. The ones in the apartment buildings are not movable.

Absolutely, I am! The Sims 4 is the best game on the market and I plan on purchasing every single expansion pack, game pack and stuff pack released.

MrMonty96 · September 2016

Well I'm guessing since apartments are only available in SM I don't expect them to be in build mode for other uses especially since elevators are usually found in apartments or skyscrapers

Hannie · September 2016

I'm buying it! I weren't really heartbroken about not being able to build apartments in the first place though, and loadingscreens I don't care about. Imo this pack sounds so awesome, and something I've never seen before. I'm really, really excited.

Oh okay, was about to say. I can deal with how apartments work now, but not bein able to use elevators would be a deal breaker for me. Thanks ffor responding.

I think the elevator is just part of the shell mesh and coincides with the spot your sim will spawn at like how they do outside their doors now on normal lots.

Someone else said this on another thread.

Sigzy05 · September 2016

I'm not. I don't care how many little shenanigans this pack has or horribly implemented features, it's not worth 40 euros. It has GP level content at most but I won't be bothered, because nothing else holds my interest in this pack.

But not all the buildings in San Myshuno are shell apartment buildings. There was one that looked like a street art gallery/museum and another that looked like a gym. These regular buildings may have elevators in them too. If they do, that means they are usable on regular lots.

Let' hope so but I doubt you would need an elevator in any of those venue types

Overall CL looks like an awesome ep - as expected with TS4 - and it will be a welcome addition to my game for sure. I've already preordered. Naturally.

EmeraldEclipse1 · September 2016

I still am planning on buying this. I'm disappointed about the apartments, yes, but the festivals, foods, careers, and interactions was what really drew me in at the announcement, and those still appear to be in good shape.
I am low on video game cash, however, so waiting until Black Friday.

kiwi84 · September 2016

I am bying this, I know some are disappointed, but this EP seems really good

musteni · September 2016

I was planning to wait for a sale and I'm still planning to wait for a sale. The city theme in general wasn't really something I looked forward to, but there seem to be things that will add to my gameplay (yeah, I'm excited about the apartment traits

). Still hopeful about the elevators because it hasn't been confirmed how they work.

poeticnebula · September 2016

I wasn't sure when they first announced the theme as I'm not really big into the Big City type theme. Now, however, I'm excited about many of the features in the pack and I do plan to buy it.

Arletta · September 2016

I'm more on the buy side than the don't.

NordicPhoenix22x · September 2016

I'll have to wait for more info on the EP to decide whether I'll get it on sale or not at all, but I'm not buying it for the full price.

The lot traits do sound very cool, San Myshuno looks beautiful, then we also have the festivals, and there's most likely still a lot more of information waiting for us... but I really, really wanted to build my own apartments and put them into the other worlds.
I'm very disappointed that we can't.
If I'm interested enough in the other features of CL I'll buy it on sale.

Saga-Minx · September 2016

I already pre ordered and still no regrets. Can't wait!

Freckles1971 · September 2016

There's hardly been any info on this EP yet people seem to be speculating about what is and isn't going to happen be in this EP yet.

Stop making pointless threads about stuff that we don't even know is going in or not into this EP.

PrincessVee · September 2016

I will. I've already preordered and I don't feel like cancelling my preorder. I'm not overly upset that we can't build our own apartments. What I am upset about is the absence of real roommates and loading screens between apartments in the same building.

papersuitcase · September 2016

I'm undecided. I have to wait and see what festivals entail. As of right now? Definitely not buying at full price.

Gruffman · September 2016

I plan on getting it yes.

Apartments aren't the big draw for me. I loved the look of Bridgeport in Sims3. I want an urban look, so that is a plus for me.

I am far more interested in the cultural aspect to be honest ... the different festivals, the new foods, the new cultural items added for sims for CAS.

I am still curious to the new textures on old objects ( like the couch that has a new look to it ) so I am curious if old meshes got an upgrade or if we are seeing some form of limited CAST. I don't know.

shacoria · September 2016

I am definitely going to buy it because I want to see the festivals and I am curious about the lot traits and the politics career. I am fine with the fact that apartments will only be in the city, because that seems realistic to me. I wish we could build our own apartments, but I can live with not being able to.

I can't wait for my city to become a dystopian nightmare. I'm gonna make all of my apartments filthy and prone to earthquakes. lol.
