He is most likely not onlyabidoang if he's the person you may mean, onlyabidoang is Indonesian, I think this narrator is from Thailand? :open_mouth:

Wait some people are now claiming they might have used AI voice for the narrator, not sure if that is true or not. But I enjoyed the trailer regardless, and I cannot wait to play it as I have preordered the EP already <3

People are always complaining about the disney girl voices in trailers so they tried to give it an authentic cultural feel this time! I don't see anything wrong with that, but I didn't see anything about the night market or animal sanctuary or really any shots of the world!
However, the rental features look really in depth. ?

Yess this was way more interesting and energetic, I mean this trailer's narrator voice. Wait I also did not see anything about the night market, I wonder if that was a pre-teaser for the actual livestream itself and not the gameplay trailer? :lol:

I had a hard time understanding him as well, but putting on captions worked wonderfully.

I'm a bit disappointed, honestly. What they showed was great, but I'm concerned. I'm questioning now if I'll be able to have specific sims move into specific units, as if moving them into an apartment in city living, or if it'll be like hiring sims for restaurants- you get to pick from a couple sims, and that's it. And I was hoping we'd see non-rental unit gameplay. We haven't seen anything for the night market, botanical garden, or the animal sanctuary. :(

I have a feeling that the animal sanctuary is definitely a rabbit hole and the night market might be similar to the Flea Market festival from City Living. As for the botanical garden, I'm not sure, but hopefully we'll learn more about it in the SimGuru livestream in a few weeks. ?

Yes this trailer did leave me confused about the way the Residential rental lot type works in the Manage Worlds mode, for example.

That was... a lot. I need to re watch it 3-4 times more and then wait for the flood of breakdown videos on Youtube. But everything looked gorgeous, and it certainly seemed simple to adjust the housing. And individual rents, so you don't have to charge for the rest of the family if you don't want to.

Gah, I'm really going to have to consult my budgeting for all this. I've got three games/expansions to pick up in the next month at this point (This, the DDV expansion, and Candela Obscura)

Yeah, I couldn’t understand what the speaker was saying, lol. I thought it looked good, though! The only thing that concerns me is the lease. I don’t want to have to keep moving my sims back in or remembering to change the number of days they can live there.

ETA: simgurunova confirmed on Twitter/X that tenants rent indefinitely, but the number of days refers to a time period where leases can be broken without additional fees or changed!

Oh, man. If we can’t move specific sims into specific units, I’m going to be extremely upset. I’ve worked hard preparing for this pack between making my duplex & the sims that I want to live in it.

Hopefully, there’ll be a livestream that will clear up a lot of the confusion. I’m also wondering if we can set fenced in backyards to specific units.

I appreciated seeing more details about unit configuration and setting rent, but - without meaning to sound too harsh - I found numerous parts of the the dialogue difficult to understand due to the voice actor's accent.

Oh good Im not alone in this. Im going to watch again but with the closed captioning on this time since I did have a little trouble understanding the VA and felt like he was talking a little too fast at some parts.

For anyone having issues understanding the dialogue, they provided captions, just tick the "closed captions" (CC) box in the youtube window :)

onlyabidoang is amazing! I am just not sure if this is his voice though.
