i dont understand how to make my duplex home a rental for additional family ??

You have to have your lot as "Residential Rental" and choose which space is the other side of duplex. Then you move in a family from Manage Worlds. I learned this from the Early Access videos as I am still getting download errors on For Rent unfortunately. :(

I don't know what i did wrong here! Why is the rent so sky high?

That is a ea bug that was supposed to be fixed with the patch.

mine say 4,000+ rent per day as well. i move in a family from manage worlds, then exit. then move in the family i want to play ?? i will try it, but i moved in my family first. and it seems like they are using both sides of duplex..

I think you have to have a residential rental lot and a home lot. I have a home lot and bought a empty lot that I turned into a residential rental lot. I'm playing that my sim has to earn money to build a residential rental. I'm going to have her move in the bottom rental unit when she can afford to build the whole lot.

It seems to be working this way for me but, i thought they also said we could live in these custom apartments as a tenant as well without playing landlord?

To rent just as a Tenant you have to convert the lot to RR and assign units before moving in. If you move in before you convert it, then because your sim owns the lot they become the Property Owner.

You don't need to own more than one lot. In fact, you don't need to own any, else you become a Property Owner or just a plain old Home Owner and not a Tenant.

I seem to be getting there but why are the bottom two units still showing the 4 million+ rent?

Because it's a bug, unfortunately. Hopefully there will be a swift patch.
