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.

(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.

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.

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:

Interesting take on what buying vacation homes could be. I find it neat to have feature that let's you rent out you vacation home for some extra simoleons.

It does not even surprise me any more with the sims 4's track record.

Nope. It doesn't surprise me at all. If the natives themselves don't live in Selvadorada, playable Sims certainly weren't going to be able to live or to own property there.

However, what we think shouldn't be difficult often is it seems for the developers.

We cannot own a vacation home :-( why? I have so many cool lots I would love to have my sims move to either or without having to sale them. I would b awesome if they can own more than one and rent out the ones they are not using.
