Buy vacation houses

So...real estate? That's essentially what it is.

It would be nice if my sims could live there , the kids could still go to school and adults are still able to make a living using the computer.

They could still rent the house. :) The money would only go to the family who owns the house.

It would be cool if our Sims could buy the vacation homes in Granite Falls and Selvadorada. (The ones you usually rent)
Then we would earn money every week from Sims who stay there, but you'd also have to pay higher bills.
You could stay at the vacation house you bought for free and have the option to customize the vacation house while you're on vacation.

We had this in Sims 3 and it baffles me that it was not brought to Sims 4 especially when so many loved it....then again, this seems to be a reoccurring thing with Sims 4. The game drives me nuts because it has sooooo much potential to be so much fun, but odd decisions make it frustrating and it doesn't feel like the player has control of much of anything like we did in Sims 3. Such a bummer because there are so many things that this game could have been.

Ive learned to accept it for what it is. I play Sims 3 when I want gameplay and I play Sims 4 when I want to create awesome sims (I LOVVVEEE sims 4 CAS) or build a cool house. Sorry for the tangent hahahaha :wink:

It does not even surprise me any more with the sims 4's track record.
Some times I think where are all the people who worked on TS2/TS3
With so some of the most basic features not added or being added to the sims 4.
Its like why did the decide to downgrade lots of things in the sims 4 pack.

So many basic things. Being left out.



I just have to agree to myself that the sims 4 will never be like the other games. And have to rely on modders to fix EAs limited packs.
Otherwise it spoiled some of the other packs.

Still good to ask for these things.

I wish lifestages were better in this game. You can create better looking sims but personality, traits and the not so great. newborns and teens, or the not much difference between young adult to elder. Are poor if you asked me.

Other than that I love how you can make better looking sims. Compared to TS3.

Like an investment for your sim family? Rent out a vacation home? Gosh that would be incredible!

I dont think this would be technically difficult specially at this stage of the game development.

They could add the option to buy the vacation house.

• Click on the vacation home's mailbox or at the computer to buy a vacation home.
  
• Once bought, you'll be able to edit the vacation home WHILE on vacation. (With your own Simoleons though)
  
• Your Sim family can turn the old cabin into a luxurious one and earn money every week. (Just like with books)
  
• Your Sim will stay for free at the vacations. (Bills will be a little higher at home though)
  

It would be an enhancement of the current rental system. Your Sims still have the option to rent the vacation home, even if it's owned by other Sims.

Yes,yes yes to all that!
