For Rent Gameplay Trailer

I was momentarily excited when they showed "unit rules". The possibilities! But then it looked as if there were only five that we can only switch on or off and that come with pre-defined fines. Meh. I'll still enforce my custom unit rules, but it would have been nice to let the game automate the process.

On the upside, the rent being given in a "per day" figure makes me hope for daily bills. That would be amazing for my irregular rotations!

I assume there will be other rules from other packs if you own them. I would be shocked if they haven't added No Cats/No Dogs/No Pets rules, for example.

I like what I saw (although I wish they'd shown more), buuuuutttt... dang, these new systems are totally going to break the game. I wonder whether it'll even be safe to install the pre-release update as soon as it comes out. I'll be hanging back to see what happens to everyone else first. :)

Was it me or this trailer was really empty? Why call this a gameplay trailer when there's no gameplay in it?

They said it would be only to show off the landlord system.

OH WAIT

The simlish at the beginning also had a different accent from usual simlish

Does this mean we are getting different accents of simlish now????? that would be incredible

or was it just part of the voice acting for the trailer?

I've been wanting new Sim accents for years. Back when Batuu released, I had hoped we'd get the English accent that Rey has, but...alas. It would be such a great addition to the game to have a variety of new Simlish voice choices in different accents! Plus, the three choices per gender we've had for nine years have grown a little stale for me after playing like, 200+ Sims, lol.

I mean, considering that main feature is to build our own apartments and becoming a landlord if you own one, there wasn't much to show since I think they're saving the other stuff for the SimGuru livestream. But yeah, they could've at least show off other aspects of the pack in a way. ?

Oh, didn't know that! Ok, I hope this is not all

I noticed this too! That would be awesome but I assume it was just for the trailer. That would be a lot of work.

I guess it depends on how you define gameplay ?.
Because using the rental features is playing the game. And it seems there is a LOT to it so it took up the whole trailer. We will see more in the livestream.

Yeah more voices and accents would be a dream!
I was disappointed about that Batu one as well.

I understood the narrator just fine. I am happy that they used the voice of someone that may be from Thailand instead of another perky American voice to please the masses. Anytime you have to say not to be rude/harsh/offensive, you’re being just that. ?

Agree I had absolutely no problem following what they said. I don't agree about the part of "another perky american voice" though. :)

And as MightySprite said there is an option for closed caption if you have a problem understanding. Looking forward to this pack.
