  • Huh. I've never had Vanesha approach my household to talk about rentals, whether I was playing as a landlord or as a tenant. Maybe because I played in worlds other than Tomarang?
  • They're probably the other side of the earrings we can see previewed in the kit.
  • I really dig the look of this kit. It's pretty much exactly what I expected and wanted out of the kit, and I think it has a lot of potential for me. Some of the windows and build elements will work for an old gothic school I'm building in San Myshuno, if I can get it finished lol.
  • I don't need any more fade hairstyles for male sims.
  • This sounds like a bug. I partially built a lot before the pack, changed it into a residential rental, and am currently terrain painting and can add fences. You may want to open a thread on the Answers HQ about this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs Or try removing your mods (if you play with…
  • It'll be available in just under 20 minutes.
  • You're not the only one! I don't find that a long wait builds my excitement, I just end up feeling impatient lol. But then I also tend to avoid gamechanger videos because I'm not really interested in their content and would rather explore the game myself (and seeing others play while I can't would only try my patience even…
  • I assume they didn't like people using VPNs to get the pack earlier, but that's pure conjecture on my part. Maybe some other reason.
  • I've been working on all kinds of multi-family dwellings in prep for the pack launching, but now I think I need to go back and do a bit of editing to try and block windows. I doubt many other simmers will be bothered by this, but it's going to really kill my immersion playing one family and seeing the inside of the…
  • There's a toggle for rental unit events, which I'm going to guess includes a bunch of the mainentance issues. So you should be able to turn them off.
  • Really disappointed that the laundry list doesn't mention fixing the disappearing stair rails. I can imagine that's going to be annoying in apartment buildings/two-story residential rentals. Hope they manage to fix it anyway.
  • Thank you! Sorry, for some reason most of the tweets on the first page aren't showing up for me, but I went and found the video manually and I can see the kind of gameplay I was looking for. Thanks again! :)
  • Does anyone know if there are any videos yet that show gameplay from a tenant's perspective? I'm seeing a lot of build/buy, CAS and life as a property owner, and I'm really curious about how it plays when you move sims in as tenants and play as them.
  • Either the expansion pack is kind of empty, or they just did a terrible job at showing things off in the livestream. I'm sort of surprised we spent so much time showing off the night market and the tiger sanctuary - which are just a clone of existing food stalls and a rabbithole, respectively - and not that much time…
  • Skye Fitness is a lot that's on the "ground" - or what they're using as ground up in that district. The Stargazer Lounge in the same neighborhood is at the top of a shell building and will have the restrictions on rentals, but the gym shouldn't.
  • I think people are less bothered by the limit of units per lot (which can be changed with the cheat) and more disappointed at the total number of units per save. 99 is limiting for anyone who plays a whole bunch of households, or simply wants to populate an entire "world". It's especially frustrating in a game with no…
  • I think one of the penthouse lots is already non-residential (there's a penthouse lounge or bar in the uptown/business area). So I think they can take almost any lot type, but sadly not the new residential rentals.
  • I would love another actual city world that's built up like San Myshuno but has a bit more of the "realistic" world decoration style that they used for worlds like Del Sol, Strangerville, etc. Earlier worlds like San Myshuno and Windenburg are just a bit too tidy, empty and pretty for my liking. San Myshuno is one of my…
  • Reading the Q&A, I don't think there will be any more than 99 units per save even with the cheat turned on (maybe a modder will be able to change that, though). Disappointed that residental rentals can't be built on penthouse lots. I was hoping to be able to use San Myshuno and get at least a few more apartments in the…
  • I think it's just a promotional name. "Rockin' Rancher Digital Content" for Horse Ranch, "Street Eats Digital Content" for For Rent.
  • 2 story units were shown in the build trailer on Twitter that first confirmed the 6 unit limit. I doubt 3 or 4 story would be restricted.
  • The menswear kit - annoyingly, I'm all in favor of more male CAS content and would gladly buy a pack that wasn't so focused on being... "fashion forward". I want stuff my sims will actually wear. Happy for anyone who loved the style, but it felt like an attempt to just slip in more female CAS content but call it male. Felt…
  • The gameplay trailer suggested otherwise. In case you haven't seen it, the landlord was able to click on the "rental" sign and see a list of available tenants along with their family makeup by age and their budget, and then (presumably) click a tenant and choose to fill a vacancy. Sort of like selecting an employee for a…
  • I wonder if you can assign any room, even if not enclosed fully? For example, can you assign an open-air porch that just has railings and an opening for stairs? The downside would be that other sims couldn't get to your front door, because the porch would presumably be off-limits, but I do wonder if it's possible. I hope…
  • If they break a rule, there's a fine. Perhaps after (X) amount of fines, you can evict them? I know there was a button in the UI that said something like "Evict unjustly", so I would expect the opposite to be true - for them to do something (like break rules) that allows you to evict for a reason. Edited to add screenshot…
  • I don't remember ever being able to click on an apartment door in City Living and it switching to that household. That's different behavior from CL, right? Either way, loading screens don't bother me. I completely understand why others might be bothered, but I expected loading screens on a lot that allows for 6 units of 8…
  • I think your original understanding of "Shared" is correct. Currently in the game, you can select any room/area you've built (enclosed by walls, fences, spandrels, etc) and there are options to change the wall height, platform height, move or copy. It looks like this pack will add another option when you click one of those…
  • Sounds like there's an early cancellation fee that your sim can occur if they decide to break the lease at any time before it's set to expire (for example if they decide to move out before the lease is up).
  • Two things that caught my eye from the gameplay trailer: 1) It appears you can set lot traits/challenges per unit, rather than per lot. Would love for this to be the case! 2) It looks like you assign any built areas (such as rooms) to a unit via the unit drop-down. A little hard to tell from the trailer, but it may be…
