Rentals saved to the gallery as residential?
Is it just me or is it impossible to save rentals with lot type rental to the gallery? They all say residential after I upload them? :(

Well they are residential. Don't think a rental needs it's own lot type or even hashtag. :smiley:
How does that make sense? They do have their own lot type now, why wouldn't we want to upload them as rentals..?
They are residential as much as apartments are. You just pay differently for them.
If I download a rental lot from the gallery marked as residential, won't I have to turn them into rental lots myself? Or will they magically pop up as rentals? And isn't it a little unintuitive if we can't even look for rentals specifically, since I myself decorate rentals in a different way than I decorate homes, and I assume others do too?
Yes, you need to change the lot type to rental. I don't know about decorating, rentals are houses you rent for living, why would they be decorated differently? You don't get any different functionality from them. I make mine very basic, like hotel rooms, so they fit with any sim that rents the place.
Not all houses on the gallery are basic. Some have kids' rooms with tons of toys, and that's not what you usually see in a rental house. Sometimes residential homes just have more character, they can be done with a specific family in mind (that's what I usually do too).
And even if a house is basic, for example, 4 bedroom house on the gallery usually means 2-3 kids bedrooms. Residential homes are more family-oriented, and what I would expect from a rental property is more generic bedrooms, maybe even with double beds only.
Well, if you like the house enough to add it to your game, then it should not be a problem to change it's lot type. The only thing that matters is the number of people it can accommodate, but even so, Graham showed in the live stream that you can rent additional beds and other stuff from the mail box.
Look we get it, you don't mind, I do. Can you stop arguing against something that would be incredibly easy to add / fix, and doesn't impact your life anyway?
I'm not arguing against it, just trying to understand why it's difficult to change the lot type.
You absolutely are but that's beside the point.
Look if I'm looking for, say, 10 rentals for Newcrest, I'd like to a) be able to search for lots people have built as rentals, not homes (and yes, sorry, most rentals don't look like actual homes), b) not have to go into 10 different builds just to change the lot type when that lot type already exists.
To me this looks more like an oversight than a feature (??) but it's cool, oversights happen. It'd just be neat if they could fix/add it. Again, you might not give two cents but it would make my life easier without impacting yours. And I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks so.
We've had rental lot type since Outdoor Retreat, so I don't think this is an oversight.
Yes but we haven't had it in all worlds since. Kinda makes sense to add this now, no?
Anyway again, let's just agree to disagree, I'm done arguing over why I would like this with you :D
Don't know why it would make more sense to do now, but whatever. For your sake, hope they do add it at some point, maybe next time they update the gallery. :smiley:
