It’s getting on for two months since For Rent came out and I’m really curious as to how much those who bought the pack are actually using it. From what I’ve read, it seems that a lot of simmers are avoiding using the pack, and some are even uninstalling it. I personally haven’t touched the main tenant/landlord or rental content since I first tried it when it came out, but I have been using some of the BB, CAS and lot challenges. I haven’t actually experienced any bugs or problems in my game so far.So how much are you using the pack right now? It would be interesting to know if your decision is based on what you’ve experienced personally (too many bugs or broken saves) or because you’ve been put off by what you’ve read others have experienced. Or if you are playing with tenants/landlords/rentals, are you actually experiencing any bugs? Our answers will hopefully all change whenever they fix the bugs.This poll is really for those who bought the pack, but I’ve added an option for those who don’t have it so everyone can join in.

I’m only using BB, CAS and some lot challenges. I’m avoiding using the rental system right now because I’m worried about doing lasting damage to my saves. I’m really looking forward to the issues being fixed.

I love the Build Mode Objects, CAS & Traits. However, I feel like it's like an extremely expensive Stuff Pack instead of an Expansion Pack due to the new Apartment Rental & Tomarang being glitchy. I've even advice my daughter not to get the pack yet until it's finally fixed. She agreed to wait.

I did play as a landlord for a couple of days after release. I used one of the residential rentals that came with the game. There wasn't much noise about the bugs then but I stopped because my sim had too many other things on her plate and just didn't have time to be a landlord.I am enjoying some of the other features though.

Interesting that the game crashes when building in Tomarang — I didn’t realise that was a problem too. But Tomarang is definitely very beautiful.

I haven't bought the pack in part because I'm waiting for a sale as it's not a must-have for me, but also because I'm terrified of the current bugs messing with the save-file and slowly working on.

How much are you playing For Rent?

Won't buy untill big bugs are fixed.
World interests me very little, so this time that is not tempting me either. It will serve 100% as vacation destination in my game, whenever it is I buy it :)

When I first got the pack, I spent a few days playing it "as intended" to get a feel for the game. Since then, I built a few Residential rentals that I'll move sims into so that they have a place/get them out of my main sim household, but otherwise I just use the CAS/BB stuff. I haven't even spent all that much time in Tomarang.

I'm not even using the CAS/BB assets bc I'll probably be uninstalling the pack in a week.

I tried some of the tenant/landlord/rental content but stopped playing those in fear of triggering bugs. I am playing with other content though!

I decided not to buy it (the FIRST time I've ever not bought an expansion pack on release) because I was busy playing Baldur's Gate 3 (an AMAZING game which shows how EA rips us off). Then I heard about the bugs and still didn't buy because of that. How they could release a game FULL of game breaking glitches and two months later NOT fix them? Are you kidding? I won't buy until they fix everything. Even if they give it away, I'm not sure I'll get it because of all the problems.
