A did you know Thread on For Rent

You can disable Rental Events in the game settings if you don't want to deal with them.

Did you know we are getting an elephant version of this in For Rent?

Pools can get algea in them.

I'd missed this. Does that mean we'll now have to clean all our pools in all worlds?

Fantayzia shows more of the absolutely gorgeous world with the new expansion pack, I had not seen this part but with the water lotus, that can be found in around Thailand, and can be seen at the Red Lotus Floating Market.

If you are using the Maintenance Troubles lot challenge, or live in a Residential Rental, then pool algae is one of the events/situations to fix.

It's usually an OK one to fix though, because you do so by swimming, which is fun... Unless your sim dislikes Fitness/has a Fear of Water, in which case I'd choose the pricy chemical cleaner.

I guess you wouldn't want to use the swimming option in winter either :p

Swimming in an algae infested pool, how fun! :lol:

Thanks for the info - that sounds fun! I’m actually looking forward to my sims having these maintenance troubles. Not all my households, as that would probably just get tedious very quickly, but definitely a few of them.

Hoping there is some hidden calculations deciding what unit will course more trouble, instead of only being set by our settings/lot challenges. Landlord's neglect or tenant's personality (active sims might keep a better standard than a lazy sim, lot traits might affect, too) should play a difference, as should of course the unit's individual rating. I read that we can reduce unit problems by checking it in the game settings, but I hope we could see just a little of it, or a lot of it but only in 1 or 2 units. I don't really see my sims letting out units on different lots traveling around the world to fix stuff. Maintenance will of course be easier if the rentable units are on landlord's home lot.

Did you know:

There seems to be quite a bit of lag in build mode when you set the lot type to "residential rental". This will make for a frustrating experience when trying to build anything from scratch on that lot type.

So....

Lilsimsie building tip: When building a multi-dwelling, set the lot type to regular "residential". Then once you've finished building, change it to "residential rental" so you can then designate your apartment zones, shared areas, etc.
