Fixer-Upper / House Flipper GAME PACK (Fix Up Houses, New World, Architect, Spiral Stairs)

Run-down World and Public Works Projects
The Sims 4: Fixer-Upper Game Pack adds a new run-down grunge neighborhood with cheap houses that need some TLC.
Customize the neighborhood with Public Work Projects and fix up the neighborhood and even turn it into a luxurious one.
Repair a broken public fountain with Handiness skill, clean up debris from the street, fix holes in the street, repair broken street lanterns and fire hydrants and decorate with Public Work Projects.
You decide which street lanterns are set, the style of the sidewalk and other customization options.

Fix Up Houses
Buy one of the cheap houses from the new world. But there's a reason why they're cheap: They need A LOT of work put into renovating the house and turn it into a glorious mansion.
Fix up the broken windows, beds, mirrors, electronics and doors (Handiness skill required), fill holes in the wall and do a clean up. Also kill all the nasty cockroaches running around the house.
When finished, you can turn this house into the house of your dreams.

Architect Career, become Landlord and Advanced Lot Owning System
There finally is a new career: the Architect career. It functions as a semi-active career (like the ones in City Living). You have the option to send your Sim off to work or instead do daily tasks as an architect, which includes requests from random people that want to renovate their house with special requirements.

Besides that your Sims now have the ability to own multiple residential lots and earn weekly rent as a landlord. Become a landlord and fix broken objects or remove cockroaches and rats when called by your tenants.

New build mode features
There are new spiral stairs and L-stairs in build mode, as well as furniture that ranges from grungy poor to luxury mansion.

Potential names suggestions:
The Sims 4: Dream Houses
The Sims 4: Fixer-Upper
  • Setting up decorations could take 30 minutes (30 seconds sim time) and painting could take an hour per wall. New floors two hours. Putting furniture together depending on size could take 30 minutes to 2 hours (all sim time)
  • My gosh, you got me so giddy reading this idea!

    I would love to see this pack come with tons of new wallpapers. The ones I have in game , especially the basic colors, are either neon bright or too similar.

    It’d also be fun to get new room and roof trims. I adore the ones that came with Seasons.

    Builders are heavily overlooked. We also need our front doors updated to clip into slots in between wall slots. It’s devastating to build an exterior with a three wall slot and find out that my front door won’t clip into the center. The architect career sounds brilliant! It would be fun to renovate a city block as my Sim, walking around picking up trash, changing lightbulbs, buying blueprints, and renting to tenants, YES!!
  • you could even have hotels/motels with the idea of the rent! this is sooooo good and i hope it happens
  • This pack would be a great way to improve build mode features while also developing an awesome pack. :)
  • Just got another idea.. this pack should allow the ability to create built in cabinets. We could place them around TVs in slots similar to rooms/walls and drag and drop. Then paint the sides and top in whatever finish we’d like to use. We could place TVs books and other items on top of them. And place shelving inside .
