The blog post mentions creating apartments for big families on the same lot, so I feel like that is not the case thankfully :smile:

No, it hasn't been confirmed. In the trailer, the most number of sims you can see on the lot at any given time is 12.

Either:
1) Residential rentals have a limit of 8 or 10 sims, and some of the sims on the lot are just visiting.
2) Residential rentals have a limit of 12 sims, slightly higher than the roommate max.
3) Residential rentals have a limit of more than 12 sims, and they were being conservative to reduce lag/errors, take smoother videos for the trailer, and allow extra spawn slots for sims to walk past the lot (the game can load 20 sims in a zone at a time without mods).

I would really like it to be 3, but based on past experience, I think it's safer at the moment to assume that we're likely to get 1) or 2).

I'm very relieved that I was wrong in assuming that because the description said something about two families in a lot, that would be the limit overall.

But, sadly, what we have here is another Game Pack-sized pack being released as an Expansion Pack. It's bad enough that this couldn't have just been in City Living, it's even worse that they release such a small amount of content as a full Expansion Pack. For shame, EA. You have the Game Pack option, use it. This - and Horse Ranch - are exactly the size of content for a Game Pack. You got people excited with the notion of three EPs in a year, but at least two of them are Game Packs being released as EPs. =/

Also, personally, while I appreciate some diverse cultural representation, I do not like tropical worlds. I hate not having seasons. It makes worlds unplayable for me. So this is yet another world that I will never play (if I ever get the pack).

The clothes and B/B has not drawn me in so far. But I enjoy the look of the world so far.

EA/Maxis has caught my interest, but I am wondering is this theme restricted to the EP or can we build from scratch in other neighborhoods?

According to one of the accompanying blogs, residential rental lots can be placed in any of the worlds, not just the new one in the EP.

If true that is a plus for me and is a buy for me. :)

I would be surprised if they were wrong! The relevant bit:

For the first time ever in The Sims 4, Simmers can build a fully customizable multi-unit dwelling where multiple Sim families can live on the same lot. This is possible in ANY liveable The Sims 4 world!

From here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/for-rent-expansion-pack

I wish I could be more excited but with every feature I saw I just kept thinking, "This is going to be so full of bugs".

I need more than just two household per lot. I have had condos with 8 separate units on there and would really like to maximize free from multi generational living. I really am super enthusiastic, but the should try harder to liven the gameplay up.
