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.

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.

@SnaveXs I'm not suggesting you aren't entitled to your preferences, but why do you want loading screens?

Huge doubt

Such a pet peeve that they made such a huge mailbox when not all the mailboxes are usable. It doesnt make any sense, just make a smaller one..

I’m a rotational player and tend to micromanage my sims. I plan to play with 4-plex and 8-plex apartments. I would rather not have a bunch of objects loaded for performance reasons. I don’t mind sims coming out of their apartment units to handle business and interact with my active household, though, like they do with City Living in San Myshuno.

Exactly, imagine with all the fridges, stoves, computers, tvs. No thank you

Considering my personal experiences with renting an apartment, I was triggered by the trailer. If there's ten people max on the lot, I hope nine of them aren't sharing the same unit above my Sim.

I also have concerns about the klepto NPCs. There still isn't a fix for the ones that barge into your unit in San Myshuno...

I the trailer you can see a smaller freestanding mailbox with 3 boxes together. It is shown at the end with the different styles of apartments. A smaller wall mounted version would be useful as well but I didn't see that in the trailer.

I really hope cringe sims can do even more cringe things than just dabbing. There are so many more ways to be cringe and to only have them be cringe in one way would be extremely... cringe

Apparently my introversion and ignoring a lot of media has been strong lately.
Dabbing seems to be a 7-8 year meme that I was never aware of until now. :D
