For Rent: What Are Your Plans?
https://i.imgur.com/n8Yb9Vl.png Are you planning an evil landlord scenario? Have a particular sim or family in mind to move into an apartment? Are you doing anything in preparation for the pack? ...

I've already got a rundown triplex on one of the large lots in Del Sol Valley, so I'm excited that now I can really use it for that purpose. It's one I downloaded from the gallery, and then I added a laundry room, basketball court, and some dumpsters. I haven't created the households for that yet, but I may get started soon.
Nancy L. will definitely become an evil absentee landlord at some point, it's just a question of where. Maybe she can own a small trailer park in either Moonwood Mill or Strangerville... or I could steal @AncientMuse's idea and turn Johnny's trailer into a real trailer park. Or all of the above!
At some point, I'll probably play in an apartment building in Tomarang, probably one of the prebuilds, but I will almost certainly add a vacation rental lot there as well, so my other sims can visit. I definitely want to use the world for both local sims and as a vacation spot, and I'm so glad we have that option now for the newer worlds. I just wish they would add it for the original vacation worlds as well.
I'm definitely planning to add at least one one set of townhouses to San Sequoia, as I have to have my painted ladies there at a minimum, but I'm also thinking about adding a smaller, more modern duplex lot, or a small apartment building, to the downtown area.
San Myshuno is a little trickier, as I would absolutely love to have brownstones there as well, but I'm not sure where I would put them. The best option might be to move the Salt House. I like that lot, and I already have a sim living there, but I might be able to move it to a different world. Maybe San Sequioa, though I'm not sure I have the right spot for it there, either. Or possibly Evergreen Harbour. But that neighborhood is definitely the most appropriate spot for brownstones.
Oooh, and now that I think about it, that would be the perfect spot for a new household I've been wanting to create, which is just a young guy who has one of the new Home Chef Hustle food stands and is going to start selling calzones made from an old family recipe, and then build a culinary empire. Maybe he can eventually move on to a fancier home, but keep his apartment for one of his kids to inherit. It could even be like the banana stand in Arrested Development... all of the kids in the family have to start out working at the old calzone stand and living in the old neighborhood before moving on to help run the family business. I already have a nice Italian restaurant in Newcrest, so it would make sense to move the family to a large home there, and have them buy that restaurant. I have never tried actually owning a restaurant, so it might be a good opportunity to finally do that.
Long story short, I'm not one to just buy a pack, play all the features from the pack, and then set it aside. The best part of a new pack for me is figuring out what the cross-pack functionality is, and speculate about how I might be able to use it in the future if other features are added later.
