a rental system would be interesting. our sims who rent the holiday houses could have 'reputations' which impact them. bad rep: must pay a bond and higher daily costs whereas good rep: no bond and its cheaper. unlike apartments where just existing causes noise, our sims would actually have to do things to earn that negativity like loud music or break things etc. by the same token we could have landlord reputation based on how quick we repair our holiday property

all good ideas ^^

As to the renting aspect, I was thinking about how Sims that own the vacation house could earn money weekly while they're not staying there, because the worlds are so small and if you're playing with another family you might still want to rent this house, even if it's owned by someone else. In return the other family gets a set amount of money every week, creating the illusion that the vacation house is always rented

And maybe there could be some surprises upon returning to your vacation house like things that are broken or trash is lying around the house.
