Also I think this may be the first time I've participated in a "positive thoughts" thread pre-EP in all my years on this forum. That's how ready I am for multi-family dwellings lol
That is fantastic news! This is my current Newcrest (year 1910):
Now I can actually make it a fully functioning town! If my count is correct this could, potentially, swallow over 180(!!!!) NPC sims, and then I still have the café and restaurant only being decor apartment builds. Yay!
And I second all those who hope they'll put all those houses on the gallery. I love the San Sequoia build especially!
Moreover, I advise that the cart button must be destroyed!
This pack is going to make the entire game feel so much bigger and complete, this is basically the closest thing to an open world we will probably get in this game, and I am so ridiculously elated, I am tempted to pre order this pack instead of waiting for a sale like I normally do.
Okay, now I'm wicked excited from this new info! I'm still going to have to make alterations to my senior home, as it's eight separate single bedroom units, but I can make the sisters live together in one, and I'll pick a pair of the men who are opposites to be roommates, just to make it more amusing, lol.
But this design opens up so many possibilities! I can actually have my big, old boarding house in Strangerville be real, and the trailer park lot where two families share in separate trailers will be much easier to manage without constantly having to lock the doors and allow separate permissions. I wanted to do a ranch boarding house as well, and have my friend groups (both mortal and supernatural) be able to live in the same building near each other to maintain relationships. Also, I can have a variety of Occult complexes in old, large Victorian buildings and castles! (Especially when the castle kit comes out!) And I can have more row houses everywhere.... My god. IT'S GLORIOUS!!
If things work out the way I'm hoping, this might actually be a contender for my favorite EP. Or at least, one of them.
I was legit forcing myself to be content with like 2-3 units at best. Ive got alot of built apartments that are around that many units, with maybe a couple of them that I'll need to rework to be a lil smaller, BUT THIS IS ASTOUNDING.
OMG I am going to say it again. This year has to be the best year for gaming in the Sims. Better babies, infants, horses, and now this EP. I think I am going to faint from excitement overload. So glad that I did the pre-order. Thank you @simgirl1010 for the photos of the units from the trailer.
Ok, now they finally have me, Six Units and 8 Sims per unit. I am totally on board now. Can't wait to have all my family generations on one lot finally.
So nice to see an expansion with cross pack compatibility which is useable in every world this pack is what an expansion should be no feature locked to a single world. 6 units and 8 Sims each this will help out with the tiny worlds not to mention Del Sol Valley can finally be played right with that one lot with 3 driveways.
Also the male fade cuts are so nice hopefully the Sims team took a look at my male haircuts thread I actually think they might have.
Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"
Nice! I'm so happy for everyone who wanted this pack. The new apartment system looks great. I wonder if we will see those lots in our Library since they are using other packs (@ 0:28 pack icons shown)
OMG
Wait wait, but even with the cheat activated, does this mean all those 8-Sims households….wait why does there need to be a cheat for it…oh…well I guess things will somehow make sense later on
simgirl1010, I have to praise your quick news updates, you're an angel! There is not one day that will pass from today till I my mods are updated after the pack releases that I will not be thinking of this news. Every new bit that comes out about this pack makes it seem better and better!
She is the queen of Sims 4 news updates! I love people like her
And I am so much excited about this EP! Another thing I am so much relieved about is the fact this pack is releasing on December 7th, which means I am able to get the EP on release day as I get my monthly (temporary) pension that day! Yay

Can't wait for the Castle and Goth Kits next year, OMG I keep forgetting them! Yay!
Imagine us getting Grim Reaper/Dangerous GP next year so we can make a Grim Reaper's Townhouse and all the reapers live next door
Okay, I'm super excited now after seeing the latest video. The housing crisis in my main save has been atrocious. I have a whole generation of young adults coming up with no place to move to. That is until this pack comes out. Been using makeshift "apartments" with up to 8 sim households that are divided into units through the use of locked doors. The problem I've experienced with that was sometimes the locks didn't work, allowing sims to burst into each others homes uninvited, and having fridges and bookshelves be shared amongst all families. On top of trying to balance storytelling between the various households all at once.
Soon no more!
And the fact that we can have up to 48 sims living on one lot has me shaking. The concept of this pack gets more and more appealing.

I expect this pack to be hard on lower end machines. Ever since the beginning of the sims 4 the team has been trying to keep requirements low, even deleting sims through culling. With 6 units of 8 sims and possibly neighbourhood stories actually filling all units, there are going to be a lot of sims. I expect the cheat is meant so players know they are going beyond the recommended number at their own risk. Just an educated guess.

Oh. M'gawd. I absolutely need a townhouse full of Reapers!!
For many years I've had my self-sim living in a replica of our rl upper duplex, with an empty "apartment" below. I'm excited to finally move some neighbors in downstairs (for better or worse )!

If there are loading screens between units not just lots (not all units are loaded at once, same as not all lots are loaded at once now) and still a limit of 20 Sims doing things in a neighborhood at once, it shouldn't be any different from now for performance.
Also that cheat. Amazing. So many possibilities!

I do think this EP is a game changer.
On pre-building
And slow cookers.
We need slides and new playground equipment .

This might be in my top 3 fav EPs.

Teases more than 6 units per lot. 👀
