    in The Sims 4 Packs Discussion
    This is the place to come to see if there are any unexpected info that you might have missed.

    Did You Know?

    There are sharks,sting rays,sea turtles and possibly other marine wildlife in Tomorang.

    Pools can get algea in them.

    The swimming area in Tomorang is very large with multiple swimming spots.

    There is an easel close to the ocean on a dock.

    Sims may move out of an apartment on they're own if they're not happy.

    The boats that go by have horns .

      You can disable Rental Events in the game settings if you don't want to deal with them.
      I make gameplay mods! You can find them at CurseForge.

      I'd missed this. Does that mean we'll now have to clean all our pools in all worlds?

      Fantayzia shows more of the absolutely gorgeous world with the new expansion pack, I had not seen this part but with the water lotus, that can be found in around Thailand, and can be seen at the Red Lotus Floating Market.

      If you are using the Maintenance Troubles lot challenge, or live in a Residential Rental, then pool algae is one of the events/situations to fix.

      It's usually an OK one to fix though, because you do so by swimming, which is fun... Unless your sim dislikes Fitness/has a Fear of Water, in which case I'd choose the pricy chemical cleaner.

      I guess you wouldn't want to use the swimming option in winter either :p

      Thanks for the info - that sounds fun! I’m actually looking forward to my sims having these maintenance troubles. Not all my households, as that would probably just get tedious very quickly, but definitely a few of them.

      Hoping there is some hidden calculations deciding what unit will course more trouble, instead of only being set by our settings/lot challenges. Landlord's neglect or tenant's personality (active sims might keep a better standard than a lazy sim, lot traits might affect, too) should play a difference, as should of course the unit's individual rating. I read that we can reduce unit problems by checking it in the game settings, but I hope we could see just a little of it, or a lot of it but only in 1 or 2 units. I don't really see my sims letting out units on different lots traveling around the world to fix stuff. Maintenance will of course be easier if the rentable units are on landlord's home lot.

      Did you know:

      There seems to be quite a bit of lag in build mode when you set the lot type to "residential rental". This will make for a frustrating experience when trying to build anything from scratch on that lot type.

      So....

      Lilsimsie building tip: When building a multi-dwelling, set the lot type to regular "residential". Then once you've finished building, change it to "residential rental" so you can then designate your apartment zones, shared areas, etc.

      Ooooo! That's a great upgrade for the robo-vacuums. It will save your sims from spending all their time running around cleaning mold. Or maybe it will only clean the not-so-deadly mold, while the deadly mold might have to be cleaned by a sim with the mold bomb?

      Either way, two thumbs up for adding that functionality, devs!

      It's the pricy but fast option that all emergency/maintenance related problems have. One takes time, one takes cash.

      Was playing around a bit to see what items sims will use in shared spaces. They definitely use the game table (had some sims playing simbles) along with the vending machines as well.

      If you repair some of the items in your unit before the property owner does, they will give you compensation for helping to address the issue.

      wondering if anyone has tried redoing the balconies in Eco Living? Or even rebuilding the apartments? I can only play on my laptop for now and haven't installed any packs as yet on it. Waiting "oh so patiently" for my pc to come home to me. LOL

      It would appear that if your sim has the Generous trait Vlad (at least) won't feed off you when he breaks in. My sim has this trait and Vlad just came and after mesmerizing her he just stared at her for a bit, chatted for a bit then left. She then went to her computer, still under his spell, and started playing Sims Forever. Crazy lol.

      ETA: At least that's my theory why Vlad didn't drink from her...
