How much are you playing For Rent?
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 av...

I got the pack but I play rotational with a long-term save so for my own reasons, I've been playing elsewhere and hadn't gotten to the rental/landlord features of this pack yet. But I heard about these bugs and in the interest of continuing with my save, I've been focusing on other households because I figured that they will patch in fixes for For Rent. I'd especially want the ability to switch lots back to residential because of the dynamic style that I play. I am however fine with leaving the original For Rent residential rentals as they are.
In terms of this pack, I made a vacation rental in the house that comes with Morensong that originally has a mold lot challenge. I decided to switch the mold off and made it a vacation spot. I've sent several groups there already and honestly I enjoy Tomarang for vacations but my sims tend to be travelers so they hop around to different places. With several groups, I've sent them sightseeing around the different features. They tend to frequent the night market a lot. I've also sent them to the lounge in Koh Sahpa but currently all of my travelers have been staying at that one place in Morensong which has been working for them. I added the grill cart there and I mean, I think it adds to the atmosphere. I am sure they have the fruit bowl too. They don't need the sun shade but it might find a use elsewhere in Tomarang.
I really don't mind that the streets are quiet because I interpret that as part of the culture there that locals don't tend to walk around casually like they used to be a dictatorship or something. I've sent a few groups to the tiger sanctuary and I will say that it was a different experience each time even though it's a Jungle Adventure rabbithole. I'd love seeing real tigers but I still send sims there as part of any trip. I also like the botanical garden and various landmarks. There are things to do for all ages and actually most of my travelers have brought children along to explore and play hopscotch with locals in one of the parks.
I am waiting on patches to play with more of this pack but it's on my agenda when I have time. I'll build more there and I can definitely say that more of my sims will be going there even just as travelers. I'll also use these rental features elsewhere when this gets fixed. I could see playing with it in my main save or in a new one but I'd definitely have a new back-up save when doing that. My main save is getting a bit crowded but I'd still want to use this there and actually I see it as a good solution for managing sims in a large rotation so I look forward to the major bug fixing.
