I've given up on hotels

This suuuuuuuucks...

Disappointed not really sure how it qualifies for an expansion

Cannot say anything changed for me since I had a feeling hotels were not going to be included. I feel it would have to be a completely vacation focused pack without splitting the focus.

i didnt think there would be hotels. i figure if it comes into the game it will be a gp not ep.

Just wait, a Game Pack will come out with hotels in the next 6 months for $20. They just love splitting up content so we can pay more and more money! It's EA, it's all about the $$$
I'm so sick of paying extra money for features that should already be included in the game. I'm just so over it.

I hear you but I learned to be patient and wait for an good sale and pay what I feel it is worth. There are two or three features missing that I would pay full price 1)Lot Editors-Customize lot dimensions 2) Neighborhood creators- Make and edit neighborhoods 3)Create Apts from scratch. other than that each pack is similar in development with the exception of location and environment and theme. It is all about items and not features.

This is from a link given in another thread, emphasis mine. "The first world in The Sims 4 to introduce both residential homes and rental lots for vacationers, Mt. Komorebi offers three new primary neighborhoods for Sims to take their dream vacation or make the winter locale their home."

There is a trend happening lately where it's totally cool to rent another person's house/apartment/ etc. to vacation in. While I'm not all that keen on using my own home that way, movies have even been made based on this premise. Hotels may be what's on the decline. But the point is, you can have your Sims rent a place. In many ways it's not that different from booking a hotel room, except you may be able to do your own cooking, depending on what the lot includes. Right now, the only way I can use Sulani as a honeymoon location is to 'move' my Sims there on a very temporary basis. I use the freerealestate cheat so they don't go broke.

While I feel your frustration, I'm not entirely certain who it is who gets to decide what goes into a pack and what doesn't. Us, or the people developing the game? Besides, if they don't make money at it, why should they continue to produce it? I'm just pleased that finally there is an EP I'm interested in. I bypassed the EL and then the Game pack FTB. Nothing says you have to buy it, just sayin'.

There was a possible leak on the gallery saying that a new lot type or whatever it's called (I'm tired) was titled Hotels. Pixelade made a recent video.

It looks real, to me. Hotels was also mentioned in the same survey that asked a lot about this current EP we're getting.

@Khrisstyne I think this is fake since nobody else seems to have that option.
Also the game hasn't been patched for the pack yet so it would be nearly impossible for this to exist (since we're still playing the journey to Batuu patch)
And also the user who posted this was deleted along with their post.

Perhaps you don't really use hotels as much but even if Airbnbs are becoming more popular, many hotels are still booming businesses and many of us still prefer this type of accommodation when we travel. For an example: 68% of business travellers prefer hotels over Airbnb. Additionally only 23% of Millennials prefer Airbnb.

Since we will still have loading screens whether send your Sim to stay in a rental home in Sulani or make them just go home to sleep after a day at the beach, being able to add rental lots to non-vacation worlds doesn't make a difference to me. But I appreciate that people have different playing styles.

Hotels differ from rental lots because you will have hotel staff, room service, other guests, can own it as a business, etc.
