For Rent Negative thread

My concerns are will there be enough content to justify an expansion pack? I’m assuming we can pick the owner and they choose the tenants? Or the game selects who moves in? Do you get to choose whose the snooper? How is nosey different to snooper?

What is the max limit of apartments? How do we define what’s a duplex, town house or apartment? ???‍♂️

The game probably only sees the new lot type and units. The shape of the units and name you give to it is totally up to you. . Just choose the name you think is most appropriate. Compare this to the existing residential lot. You can build a mansion, tiny cottage or suburban family homes, to the game they are all residential lots.

Yesterday's trailer showed an example of 6 units. We don't know the max number yet but it won't be just 2 or 4 units like some players feared.

I will have to turn this Mirage Garden 8-plex of Simply Nisey YT into a 6-plex, if For Rent stops at 6 units. I wanted to fit a 3 bedroom unit into this apartment anyway. I just changed the roof color to match the surrounding area but I haven't started remodeling it yet.

@SnaveXs That looks great, perfect for Mirage Park. Instead of changing it, another thing you can do is designate six of the existing units as apartments. Then you could use the the other two as common areas. One of them could be a clubhouse, the other could be a leasing office.

In the apartment building I live in currently, they have a wifi area next to the leasing office where new tenants who are waiting for their internet to turn on, or who are having technical problems with their internet, can bring their laptops or use one of the two desktops they have available. Other apartments I've lived in have had a library. So maybe the first floor of your "leasing office" can have a desk, a vending machine and a seating area like in a basic leasing office, and then the upstairs could be a community study/library.

There’s a leasing office already. They put a lot of detail into this build, but it only had up to two bedrooms. I had a family of five living on this lot already, which included the grandfather, a couple, a daughter, and a son. So, I made the back of each building into four-bedroom units.

We do now know the max number: 6, says SimGuruNova... unless we use the cheat, says SimGuruNinja, who provided no more info about that.

I have some positive feelings about this pack. But the thing that won't stop bothering me when I contemplate buying a pack that's all about building is the fact that the gallery is still not fixed. Following and favourites are still messed up, and the newsfeed is still missing. I haven't uploaded a build to the gallery in months because I feel like nobody will see it anyway. And searching for builds is frustrating now without being able to follow all the builders I want and favourite builds I like. All this has made building not as much fun for me lately because it doesn't seem worth all that effort if I can't even share my builds and find and enjoy others normally like I used to. Whether or not the gallery is fixed before the pack is released is definitely going to factor into whether I buy it and when.

Im really hoping for the best with this one. If it goes to plan then this could be one of those essential must have packs that will change gameplay and really create lots of fun situations......
or if its a buggy mess like Wedding Stories then it will be just about the biggest disappointment ever.
Alot riding on it!!LOL

Wait is there really confusion that they used a cheat to get 6 or is that the max without cheats? Would be really weird of them to show how to cheat in an official expansion pack trailer....

6 units is the max without cheats, but with cheats you can go above 6.

My reading is that it was 6 *without* the cheat, and more with the cheat.

6 units per lot, with the maximum of 8 sims in each unit - without cheats.
