  • Wow, thank you for all of the thoughtful replies! Everyone was so helpful :) I'll have to jump back into my game soon. I'm just going to avoid building any new rental properties until the new patch comes out, and I will definitely be saving as "Save As" for the future. Looking forward to playing my old save again! Thank…
  • I'm not playing until they fix the Save File Corruption bug. It's not worth destroying my save for this pack. I've been playing other games for now. The bugs in this pack make My Wedding Stories pack look safe by comparison. I really have lost trust in Maxis/EA to be able to release stable content for this game.
  • I couldn't connect at first. Then, I was able to login, but now it is extremely slow. There's definitely something going on. Edit: tried logging in again and received a message that said "Can't connect to network"
  • I also found it strange that sims as tenants have to pay for the furniture. I was surprised to see my sim having to pay 10,000 simoleons for a sparsely decorated apartment. When you rent an apartment in real life, you don't have to pay for the furniture, as far as I am aware.
  • I still like a lot of the apartments in City Living, and the Spice District is one of my favorite areas in the game. So, I will definitely keep using City Living.
  • This pack seems a bit buggy. I ended up buying it last night and started building a rental lot. After I started assigning units, the game randomly generated a rental unit called "-300 Pebble Lane". When I tried to go in and delete it, the game completely crashed. I had been building for almost 2 hours without saving, so I…
  • Seems like they're running a little late...
  • And the Sims 5, being free, will likely be even more bare bones than the Sims 4 at launch. How else are they going to make money? $10 for swimming pools, another $20 for toddlers, $40 to build your own house. They'll make their money back by nickel and diming for every little thing players want. I think the Sims 5 base…
  • I was initially excited by this pack. I have been dying to make my own rental homes. But, the more I learn about this pack, the more disappointed I become. I mean, only 9 lots in a world? That's less than any other expansion pack, and some game packs have more lots than that. The lots don't even look very big. There's no…
  • I got Chicago! I'm from the east coast of the US, but I visited Chicago a couple years ago and enjoyed it. Thank you for the giveaway!
  • Does anyone know if the residences have to be connected to be considered a multipurpose lot? I would love to build a trailer park in Oasis Springs or Strangerville.
  • I'm honestly really looking forward to this pack. Fully functional apartments that we can build ourselves have been on my Wishlist for years. However, I am little concerned about bugs. Having that many sims on a lot sounds like it might be laggy. I also think they could have added some more things to this pack, like spiral…
  • Well, if they're not releasing elevators in this pack, they better unlock the ones from City Living. I believe you need a cheat to use the ones from City Living at all, and if you add a lot with elevators to the Gallery, it gets tagged as custom content. Maybe they'll release some elevators in the patch. I can't imagine…
  • I'll probably bookmark it in the future. I just found it odd that Google didn't come up with it when I searched for it, even though it used to pop right up.
  • Is it possible that they are moving the Sims forums to the Electronic Arts forums? Because I have had a lot of trouble getting to the Sims forums lately. Whenever I used to search for it on Google, I just typed in Sims forums, and it pops up. But now, it just comes up with Electronic Arts forums. I had a lot of trouble…
  • Your sims can stay at vacation homes, however your sims can't run their own vacation homes. I would not be surprised if this is the focus of the pack. I agree, I would be very disappointed if this is the focus of the pack. It seems like such a low effort theme to pick, especially since they can reuse so many gameplay…
  • I would love to have the return of Sims 2 townhouse style buildings. I would be thrilled if this were added in. ....However, realistically speaking, I doubt it will happen. More than likely, I'm guessing this pack will be about either- 1. A bed & breakfast/ Airbnb system. Rent out your house for travelers, or own a…
  • Interesting. It's weird that you can't just plant and grow it yourself though.
  • Was I correct that Prairie Grass is only available if you use the lot trait? It annoys me that you can't just plant it yourself. The lack of harvestables in this pack is silly. You would think they could at least add wheat, so then you can make flour.
  • Yeah this is starting to look suspicious. I had thought that James Turner would get early access, since he was excited for the pack. But I haven't seen any videos from him either. What is the point of early access if it's less than 24 hours before the pack is released? I wonder if the pack was so buggy that they're…
  • Do you know what the new requirements are?
  • Does anyone know when the embargo drops for the Game Changer videos? I'm looking forward to watching their videos about this pack.
  • It would be great if they expanded the 8 Sims per limit in the patch that is coming out today, but I doubt it. They should expand it to 10 at least. I wouldn't say they cut corners on purpose, but I think they are not given the budget and time to make finished products, and EA knows that they can charge money for less…
  • Is anyone else only looking forward to watching the Let's Plays for this pack? I could care less about actually buying the pack, but I am excited to watch all of the fun videos people post about it :D
  • I'm looking forward to painting ceilings. Not sure what else will be in this patch.
  • LOL this thread is making me laugh :D I don't know if they would be bold enough to pull another My First Pet fiasco. Maybe a $5 Unicorn Kit with a few new horse swatches, 1 new horn, and 2 new sparkly animations *must own Horse Ranch in order to actually ride the horses*
  • My guess is they either ran out of time, or their budget didn't allow it. We know The Sims team only gets a shoestring budget for these pack. If they did run out of time before they could add in unicorns, that will be a bigger problem, because then the animations and features won't be polished either, and we might have a…
  • I'm not really into horses and wasn't very interested in this pack to begin with, but I thought I'd watch the livestream to see if there was anything interesting. Now, I'm even less interested. The gameplay they showed just looked boring. The horse gameplay just looked average, and I think I would get bored of it very…
  • That's ridiculous. I also think it's weird that they just go in your inventory, like a toy. There's no house or anything special for them. It didn't even look like they had any needs either.
  • This looks pretty bad. I imagine this marketplace is going to be very aggressive with in-game sales. With the Sims 4, they already know that customers will buy anything they put in front of them. I wouldn't be surprised if they have sales all the time for different clothes, furniture, hairs and cosmetic items for $2 or…
