Sourced info only (From gurus or information from trailers and live streams) and keep things on topic by only adding info pertaining to the pack (not speculation) so it can be added here. Thanks in advance.

Welcome To Tomarang
Sul Sul, neighbor. Welcome to the bustling city of Tomarang, a scenic world nestled in a lush tropical landscape and vibrant city skyline. In a world alive with possibilities, Tomarang breathes new life into the many stories that can be told in multi-family dwellings.
Inspired by a unique blend of tradition and modernity, Sims can immerse themselves in this Southeast Asian-inspired world and discover various new exciting community activities. To reflect elements of Southeast Asian culture, The Sims team proudly collaborated with Jason Chu, an Asian-American rapper, social justice advocate and cultural expert with family roots in Southeast Asia, to consult on the For Rent Expansion Pack to deliver more choices with how players explore and express their individuality.

Four new Aspirations
Seeker of Secrets, Five-Star Property Owner, Fount of Tomarani Knowledge, Discerning Dweller
New Fear
*There are new/specific wants with the new traits.*
Cringe Trait
Sims who are obnoxiously oblivious and oftentimes met with polarizing reactions. Cringe Sims can be socially unaware of their surroundings at times, but have an adorable enthusiasm for life.
Generous
Caring, empathetic, and patient. These Sims are happiest when offering their time and money to help others. Everyone loves Generous Sims, but they can be a little too brazen with their donations.
Nosy
Sims who thrive on gossip, snooping, and spying. They have incredibly poor boundaries and don't quite understand what personal space is, but they will discover secrets by any means necessary.
Child of the Village
These Sims love feeling anchored to their community and Tomorani culture. Keeping in touch with loved ones and engaging in activities that remind them of home is important for being Happy.
Wise (Elder exclusive)
A Sim who's experienced enough life to know what really matters. These Sims enjoy reminiscing and sharing life's wisdom, making them excellent Mentors for those willing to listen. Their years of experience allow them to naturally learn new Skills with ease, and their emotional intelligence reduces their angry and uncomfortable thoughts.
SimguruConor
Traditional + Updated traditional south-east Asian styles.
A lot of tiger pictures on clothing is intentional.
4 new aspirations: 1 Location, 1 Deviance, 1 Popularity, and 1 Fortune.
5 new trait: 3 social, 1 Lifestyle, and 1 elder-exclusive Emotional.
Elders may receive the Wise trait when aging up, with geniuses being more likely to get it.

SimguruNovaWe already made a thread It's called For Rent info thread @LadyKyn
While true, I think both of these threads can coexist. Your info thread can be more casual info sharing and discussion while this can be more organized. To be honest, I wanted to run a info thread myself, but lack of courage and fear that at some moments I don't have time to run it prevented me to, so I'm happy to see someone keeping this up.
@LadyKyn Shall I put the recaps I've made in the previous threads here too?
That does sound good
.Having Two can be winderful.
@EgonVM You're free to add recaps. I welcome all information.
I will still be doing recaps on the casual info thread. Yet I will try to share info on this thread too. While I can't get TwitterX info, I can make and share observations and lists. Especially when the livestream comes, then I'll do a big post with lists of stuff and descriptions.
Oh, and one suggestion too.
On luthienrising last info thread, someone said that loading Tweets will have their device have a hard time loading the page. So, perhaps you could put the text from the post in the quote formatting and under it the tweet under spoilers.
For example: SimGuruNova's Tweet:
Also, added quotes with @EgonVM suggestion in the spoilers for people who might not be able to see the tweets in that one and previous ones as well.
The rules shown:
Ah, sorry, didn't know. I thought I'd share because, well, it's recapping the trailer.
I have also posted it in the other info thread, but I could bring it over there too.
Edit. Thanks for clarifying, @simgirl1010 .
In that case, indeed if you wish to discuss it further, there are many threads you can do it in.
For Rent info thread is one of the places you can casually chat about the info.
And positive thoughts thread is also a cool place to share your opinions in. I brought my recap over there too.
Lot Challenges really is a clever game design idea imo, since there are so many different ways to play, making everything as optional as can be to tailor each players game experience to their liking without leaving anyone behind was the right way to go.
