Well that pretty much confirms that there will be a loading screen between apartments than. I kind of expected that, and it's preferable to being only able to have 12 or so sims on a lot.

In the trailer they showed an area go dark when focusing on a different apartment, so I'm guessing that the other sim's rooms will do this when not being played.

I hope we can get confirmation on this soon.

It's on the same lot, there won't be a loading screen, but the inactive apartments will probably be blacked out to save performance.

@RememberJoy in Sims 2 Apartment life, apartments had identical household limits to single family homes and you could have four families on a lot. You still didn't have to go through a loading screen to visit the apartment next door, though.

P.S.:Not to be that annoying gamer talking up an old, dead game, but I'm going to be that annoying gamer talking up an old, dead game: Apartment.Life.is.15.Years.Old.

Wouldn't that be a lot of sims to be on the same lot? We can potentially have up to 48 sims, and I think that would strain most computers. Would they disappear into their darkened apartment when not being visited and appear after knocking on the door? What about transferring from playing one family to another? I'd love not having any loading screens, but I'm not sure how that would work.

I don't think they espect every unit to have eight people or us all the time six.Remember open world? The world did not really load every lot st one time it's an illusion.When the sims were not in area or certain houses they did not load.

Now the only question remaining for me is how many units max. So yay, 2 units, 3 units, 4 units, 5 units, and 6 units. Now can we have more than that? Is there a limit?

The Sims 2 for example didn't have a limit, but as someone has said, about 51 units made their game slower.

Speaking of The Sims 2, no matter how much units there were over 4, only 4 families could live in one apartment lot while the rest were filled with social class townies. This brings me question if there's a max for player households (no matter of the amount of units) or not and if unoccupied units (aka the units player doesn't have sims living in there) will have filler townies occupy it?

Answers to the questions would be great, especially on TwitterX before the livestream.

This pack looks awesome! I was wondering if the elevators from City Living are going to be available to build apartments with?
