  • While the Magic Realm doesn't have traditional weather, you can easily change that without any cheats. Last night I brought a merman there and had him summon a thunderstorm. This was the awesome result: Look how dark everything is, with the light sources shining even brighter and more colourful! The last picture shows that…
  • Lord of the underworld, I feel so dumb now! :( It wasn't a mod conflict, and it wasn't the purse mod that was outdated, but the XML Injector that is required for the mod to work. I had an old version from 2020, and after I replaced that with the newest version, the purse-hitting worked again. Thank you so much for testing…
  • Yes, there are several lots in all neighbourhoods of Sulani that don't touch the water, and those will probably work just fine with residential rentals. Not being able to build them on a beach is sad, but how about a volcano rental instead? Edit: I just remembered that one very long lot on the Tartosan beach that doesn't…
  • While the 99 units per save revelation seemed like a bummer at first, I'm not too bothered by it personally. I don't think I will even build that many residential rentals, and not all of them will have six units. With my current plants, I'm at about 15-20 units. Sucks for everyone whose plans have been destroyed by this,…
  • Yes, they can be retail lots. The penthouse in the Fashion District (far left side of the map) is a functional android store in my game, and before that, I had a restaurant there.
  • Interesting! I look forward to seeing if we'll be able to use the mold to create monsters, upload our consciousness into the moldverse, and bring dead babies back to life.
  • I'm not too worried about this particular pack having a small world, because the customisable residential rental feature will certainly make up for some of that missing space. It's not even the smallest one we ever got in an EP; Get To Work's Magnolia Promenade had only four lots and Seasons didn't come with a world at…
  • Alright, I announced earlier that I would turn Vlad's mansion into a residential rental for vampire households, and started working on that a couple of days ago. This is what I have so far: Shared space + ground floor apartment The shared space consists of the entrance corridor, the former living room and the room with the…
  • Growing Together. But I'm not going to buy it unless it's at least 50% off. If not this Black Friday, then maybe for Christmas, we'll see. Other than that, I already own all the packs I want, which is technically everything except Toddler Stuff, Journey to Batuu, and most kits. I'll get Home Chef Hustle someday, but the…
  • I... never thought of it this way. But you're right! Okay then, another favourite world of mine is Selvadorada, for which I'm using a mod to make it residential. I love its style and the archaeology aspect. It's not the biggest world in terms of lots for people to live on, but For Rent will take care of that soon enough.…
  • Okay, then that's probably another way to go about it. I still believe we'll also be able to move households into apartments from the world map, as we usually do. After all, there must be a possibility to move into apartments that don't have a played sim as the landlord.
  • Here's my theory about the landlord/tenant situation (without having read anything official, so correct me if I'm wrong): The landlord doesn't actually get to pick the tenants at all. They can set house rules and throw out tenants who don't play by them, but that's it. Of course, while building residential rentals, we can…
  • Favourite world in what way? The prettiest, the biggest, or the most fun to play in? That was a rhetorical question on my end. Back when I was still ranking worlds, I was doing it mostly based on their looks. But that doesn't work for me anymore. I use all worlds for different purposes. Some are beautiful, but held back by…
  • Here you go: https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/1011619/for-rent-residential-rental-preparation-thread :)
  • I'm happy that we're finally getting the TS4 equivalent of buildable apartments, and very much looking forward to it! Many people are negatively comparing this pack to City Living, calling it a refresh disguised as an EP. While I can see where this sentiment is coming from, I don't agree with it. City Living was never…
  • Apparently, I belong in Paris! Well, at least I speak the local language, although my French might be a little rusty. A little discriminatory, though, that the only answer to "Who are you sharing your apartment with?" for people who live alone is "Just me and my plants". I don't have indoor plants and I don't want any, so…
  • No pictures yet, but a few ideas. Vlad's mansion in Forgotten Hollow has been vacant in my game since he moved elsewhere, and it’s way too big for just one household anyway, so I'm going to turn it into a residential rental for vampires... somehow. Even if I end up with many tiny households in single room apartments,…
  • So what if I'm the only one! I love Mass Effect, and I would love a Sims game in its image, or even just a pack. I'm already doing what I can to incorporate Mass Effect elements and characters into my main save of TS4. Some of my sims are asari, technically blue females with a custom hair mesh that looks like the asari's…
  • I only play one save, which I also use to create a machinima series, so losing those files would be disastrous for several reasons. That's why I have backups of my saves, mods, library, screenshots and a few other things on an external harddrive.
  • Garden shortly before the family left the home lot: Garden shortly after the family came back to the home lot: I have since fixed the plants using cheats, but it's annoying always having to click on every single one individually...
  • Immediately after buying it, yes, because I only played with households that had horses for a while. But my excitement for the bigger animals has since worn off a little, and I find that the pack's other, smaller features are much easier to integrate into my sims' everyday lives. Want your sim to be a Lady of the Knits…
  • City Living, though Cats and Dogs is also among my least favourites, so I don't mind them being packed together for this poll. EPs should introduce gameplay elements to enhance our sims' lives no matter where they live, but City Living focuses too much on its world. Be it the careers if you play them actively, the new…
  • Alright, let me correct you then, even if it will lead me a little bit off topic. I'm only going to speak for myself, of course, everybody else is entitled to their own opinion. I do in fact play infants without Growing Together because I absolutely refuse to buy that pack until it’s at least 50% off. Not because it’s bad…
  • Oh, GPs still exist. They're just called EPs now (Growing Together, Horse Ranch).
  • Well... The only "negative" thing I can say about it is that I personally don't care much about its theme. I think we have enough food in the game, don't need any more recipes, because as long as we don't get food likes and dislikes, they all serve the same purpose. I love pizza and always wished for sims to be able to…
  • I haven't encountered any actual bugs in this EP, at least none that people talk about, but then again, I never hired a ranch hand. The only thing that annoys me is the rather long, noticeable delay whenever I tell a sim to interact with a horse. It often gets to a point where it seems like the sim is ignoring my order,…
  • The first thing that came to my mind when I heard about the new food SP: I hope this pack or the base game update accompanying it will come with food likes and dislikes. I've been waiting for that for a long time, and it would be an ideal opportunity to introduce them. And if the Vegetarian and Lactose-Intolerant traits…
  • Giving every sim a formal outfit is like a guilty pleasure of mine. Sometimes I even go out of my way to make them look especially elegant and beautiful, but it's a complete waste of time because I never use those outfits in gameplay. If we ever get lot traits that allow us to set dress codes, that might change, but as it…
