How detailed do you furnish units for 'for rent'

I am trying to furnish a built for 'for rent'. I am trying to decide if I should make furnished apartment units or empty units to decorate when I move in tenants. There is also an in between solution with only basic furniture (kitchen counters, beds, tables and chairs) or only bathroom and kitchen fixtures. What do most of you do? How far do you go in furnishing/decorating and why? Feel free to explain in the comments.

  • I don't currently do this, but have decided from now on that my sims are going to get a taste of reality and their apartments are only going to have fixtures, sinks, toilets, basic appliances, counters, etc. Like real life :D
  • I've made a few small units/appartments. I have put some basic furniture in the units, but that's also because I needed them to determine the size :D
  • When I'm setting up my rental units, it actually varies, as if I get an idea for the sim(s) I want to live there, I'll deck it out fully with furniture and everything for them. If I don't have a sim planned, I'll just do fixtures (kitchen/bathroom cabinets, lights, appliances) and figure it out later.

    My one exception so far has been the Long Term Resident Motel I build on the Old Penelope Lot, because that's supposed to look like a cheap Motel. I'll probably do the same for the "hotel" I plan to put in Del Sol Valley.

    Of course, I have zero plans to actually play as a landlord at any point. The closest I plan to get is to motherlode the Landgraabs a few times and have them buy the lot so I can set up rules for buildings I want to have rules. I just want a few more options to have sim households living in world (as opposed to pretending they're living in the shell houses.)

    For the gallery, I prefer to do fixtures only, so that it's a nice mostly blank canvas for others to use.
