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.

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.

I've discovered that switching everything back to "shared" then creating that unit again fixes the rent display. It's a temporary fix but a bit of a pain when i have nine units already pre-built before this pack.

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.

Thank you for letting me know.

I find this EP to be a bit more difficult for start, that's actually quite cool. I try to figure out stuff, and I slowly learn how to set up those units and decide the owner etc. There's so many possible combinations, and I constantly run into something that did not work as intended. Right now I had set the rent for 3 units, but when a sim moves in as tenant, it turns out the rent is set to §0. So, I had to cancel and return to owner... It fells like most of my time is wasted on loading different households, but hey-ho, as soon as I understand more it will work more smoothly for me, too.

It's been a while since I had to spend time on learning a new pack, and I like it. If it will work satisfying in the end, that is :)

would love to experience these bugs myself however iam not even able to create a residential rental lot iam stuck with the 2 default ones you get in the new world

@mightysprite I've added my findings to the thread above.

The amenities adds value. My rooms in the Inn I created for my other save let for 1 Simoleon a day. I add some kitchen 'toys' they wouldn't have had in the 18th century and rent went up to 2 Simoleons a day. :open_mouth: Pretty steep for that day and age. LOL

The flat the 4 million + price is hovering over a re-creation of my grandfathers flat (His landlord in real life would have a field day if he saw this bug!) Now i can see the actual rent, my sim self's daughter Beatrix pays $155 a day to live in that same unit.
