I know some people wish for no loading screens between apartments, so they can have that open world feel, but I would still like to have that option for the loading scenes in apartments we build. So, if there’s an option in settings to select whether to have loading screens for apartment units or not, I would appreciate that.

I don't know whether it's possible or likely, but I would personally like it to be more like the TS2 apartments: no loading screens, but, the other apartments are not active unless you knock on the door to visit. It was very much like the way it is now when you visit another residential lot; after you get past the loading screen and you are on the lot, you can access everything outside, but you can't actually see or enter the home until you knock on the door.

I think they are avoiding the question on how many per lot because the answer isn’t what the community wants will want to hear.

In the trailer, at 0:33 seconds, you can see the big mailbox, and it has 36 individual mailboxes. Maybe that answers our question.

Dare we hope? That would be amazing, but seems too good to be true. :/

I suspect it will be like the High School lockers and not all of them will useable. That being said... aren't about half of the lockers useable? If this follows the same model and we can have 18 sims (or somewhere in the 16-20 range), that would be plenty as far as I am concerned. 4 apartments with 4 sims each, or 6 with around 3 each, is probably past the limits of what I would even personally use, and should still allow for some of the more creative uses I've seen other people talk about, like magical boarding schools. I actually hope it's more like 16-18, since that would still allow for walk-by sims, the neighborhood welcoming party, etc., without negatively impacting performance too much (hopefully).

Even if they allow for 36, there is no need to add them all if it impacts the game's performance. I have feeling that finding your playable sims' mailbox among all the others will be tricky, I never know which mailbox belongs to my sim the San Myshuno apartments and there are a lot less than here. :lol: Wonder if sims will be able to steal mail since they will be snooping, breaking in, and bribing and stuff.

True enough, I'm just skeptical that they would go as high as 36.

As for finding your sims mailbox, maybe it will just access your sim's information whenever you click anywhere on the object.
