For Rent

There's a sale going on and For Rent is the only expansion pack I don't have.... But I follow people like Deligracy on youtube, and she is not the only one who can't make this work, and I really don't want to waste money on something I can't use.... Will it ever be fixed?

I am currently playing one of my apartments, it's really a townhouse but it's only one of 13 units. I want to make more units in my save.
Editing the residential rental is extremely slow and laggy down to a snails place. It makes it so you should only edit it when it's not a residential rental which is not that user friendly to have pre-planned everything a sims household would have needed and not like playing the sims and not feasible. That's a gameplay problem but the least of the problem when considering a game save corruption possibility.
I have yet to experience the pet adoption party which randomly occurs in a residential rental. I don't know why you can't throw one like every other event, and why this weighs on randomly generated. I wouldn't want someone randomly throwing a pet adoption at my place. It seems more like something that should occur at a park or community lot. Just constructive criticism on that aspect of game play design.
The landlord coming to make repairs in game didn't work out so well, and others generated on lot is sparse among the other notes I made. There is a spawner by Little Miss Sam mod which may help but should be a part of the fix.
As for the other complaints that the simmer streamers made, I don't know what they are but I would like to know.
By "editing" do you mean build or buy mode? Do you get problems with say adding or moving a chair, or is it mainly if adjusting walls (borders of the unit)?
yes @Simmerville going into build buy mode to make the slightest edits renders pointless unless you have all the time of your life to give up. Literally getting in to build buy mode takes like a loading minute. Once in I click in one category takes another loading minute. I try to speed things up and type exactly what I want in the search engine, rainbow mac spinning disk image for like another. I actually pulled out my stopwatch to time it once and one spinning wheel on a single command was 45 seconds, just to enter a command. It's nearly impossible unless you want to hang your life up at the door.
I'm having a similar loading delay in my game on any lot, I think it's due to tons of CC. I found a quicker way to avoid the long lading time. Instead of clicking on the left side "furniture" icon, I use the eyedrop tool and select just any item in that room. It loads way quicker because (I think) the game will load only that specific category, like Decor. This method might save you some time, too.
Is it just as slow when dragging something from a sim's inventory, like placing a crystal on a surface or a city poster on the wall? Or is it only slow when placing something from the BB catalog? In general I read that game will be slower if inventories are packed, so it is advices to have an inventory cleaning every now and then. Not sure if this affects RR lots, though.
The lag exist without custom content as well. I did see a very popular simmer on twitch note the same and suggest everyone fully decorate it as a residence before converting it to a residential rental. That's way too much extensive planning for so many different personalities and not enough fluidity for game play as it was intended.
Even using eyedropper tools leads to long loading spinning disk. The catalog loading from your mods folder should not cause that kind of delay. I used to draw on autocad and vectorworks. it's loading from the place it's on the computer but it should not be freezing and lagging. @Simmerville It's clear it's a problem because even if I place a non cc item, and I always choose non cc due to the games inability to play otherwise, it still takes another minute to place. If it werent for the lag one could build empires with this pack. One townhouse, 1/5 of a lot I can have a whole generation live in there.
In a residential rental, all of build buy, even getting into it is extremely, I mean over exaggeratingly laggy. I mean you can not realistically furnish a residential rental at this rate. Rest of my game is not this bad.
If it ever does get fixed, I'd be happy to get it, but now I feel like I have to wait for every release just in case another For Rent fiasco happens. Unfortunately, my faith in new Sims 4 content is shooketh.
I have no lag in build/buy in either rental lots or others.
That's interesting because I saw other simmers on twitch complain about the same thing day one before I even bought the pack.
So it doesn't affect everyone. That's interesting. Too bad it's not possible to know in advance.
No, but Deligracy didn't get issues till later on. She did a lot of playing with it and as time progressed she said it simply became unplayable. Also people complain that they can't set the rent very high, and as such there is no real income for a landlord to gain. And it kind of annoys me that one has to 'work around' issues because things don't work. This is something we pay for, and one should expect it to work.
My landlords have always gotten paid, and they ask the maximum amount of rent. It'a really the best way to make money in the sims, No complaints there. Playing as a tenant, I made the first payment last play session which was not easy to find on the computer.
I haven't played enough with it, but trying it out now more thoroughly as I am hoping to be able to increase the amount of units, if I get the clearance from an update.

Is there extreme weather at the time? (that's still an open bug)
Do the invading sims have the goofball or erratic traits? (that's by design)
