Can we bring this back please? I have a few wealthy families that live in San Myshuno, and I'd love for them to have an additional home where they can have more space and a yard for the kids and outdoor activities. I'd also like this feature because it keeps my households from having to move and lose their current home in the process. It also saves me from making and downloading too many hoiseholds just to fill the lots, and I don't like townies living in my builds either.

Id also like this, especially if we could buy a holiday home and sub let it out if we wanted or buy houses dif locations and keep for ourselves or sub let OR have a profession were we can have a certain amount of houses and rest them out to diff sims wanting to move to the neighbourhood.It would be nice to have more than one and have the option to 'leave furnished' when moving between the homes

Would love this. In Sims 3 I would always purchase a separate lot, build up my sims new house, and then sell the first owned lot. It would take forever (kind of like IRL where it takes months), but that was part of the fun and the immersion for me. I would have my sims jog by and look around at the progress of their future home.

To OP, as a workaround, you could perhaps zone the additional house as a retail business, then just never open it to customers.

the ability to own multiple homes would be awesome! :)

As a workaround to this, I convert lots to generic that way no guests show up other than my wealthy family. It would be nice if they could officially own the second home though.

The only workaround at the moment is setting your desired second lot to retail, place cash register somewhere on the lot. Decorate it for home living and then you can "own" multiple home lots.

I also want this in game. Hopefully they will add this at some point.

When I do this I put the cash register in a tiny basement so it's out of site.

I came here wondering about buying second home as well. I like the idea of a hidden cash register. But also there are a bunch of "work from home" builds on youtube etc. Basically buy a retail lot, and put a small coffee shop or something on the main floor. Second and third floor make your house with the main door in the back of the building and locked. You get the income from the coffee shop plus a snazzy new home.

Another thing on the list of things you can do in older games but not TS4. Sigh.

Yes, especially for story writing, it would be so handy to be able to own multiple lots!! Right now, I have a random sim that I just leave behind so that I don't lose the home, and the main sims just move back and forth between homes...

Wow I’m glad to see this thread pop up again. I still would love this feature, rather than a work around with retail lots. All my sims don’t own business but are wealthy and a second or even third home would be great.

Old old old old ollllllld thread, but yes, I'd love to see something like this.

At the very least, I'd like to be a real estate agent and sell unowned houses to other Sims for a tidy profit.
Would make a great Freelancer career. Visit an unowned house, drag a "for sale" sign out of your inventory, and watch the interested buyers roll in.
