Still Haven't Purchased FOR RENT, but I want to.....

Sadly, the pack is pretty much broken at the moment. I would wait till they release some more fixes. I'm still waiting too. :/

My Sims 4 For Rent is finally working better. It's so nice to be able to change a new world again. I just love Tomarang now. ;)

honestly it's like other packs that were "broken" some had more minor experiences than others did I didn't see some problems that people mentioned and I wasn't using the cheat to expand how many rental spaces you could have so I didn't mess up my game that way either. So, as far as I know it is still acting as it should. I would say look and see if you can find some lets play posted after the patch to see if you can see for yourself but if you're really unsure fair to wait a bit longer to see if anything is reported. :)

Does anyone know if having 18 or so rentals still wonks the game? I know people were running into issues with that without using the cheat.

I really wanted the pack but intended to use a lot of rentals, so it would defeat the purpose if I got it and couldn't make use of it for my needs.

I don't think I'd dare to use the cheat at this point considering how many problems the pack had right out the gate, just to be safe.

I haven’t really played since they fixed many of the major issues with 4 rent, as I have been busy doing other things lately. But, I did test out the lots to see if lots could be changed from residential rental to residential, and that works now!. I wouldn’t use it as a hotel as you have to move the family in and out, but playing a lot as different rental homes in a neighborhood seems like that would work fine. You could even have a community pool, neighborhood laundry, and “sort of” mini recreation center in your neighborhood community if you want.

I tried to move my family into an apartment today that I had built from scratch and fully furnished - I successfully placed some NPCs in next door but my family ended up with no furniture :( I had selected to move into it 'furnished' and it deducted about 15K from the family funds to pay for the furniture but then the apartment was empty and they had about 4K left to furnish a whole apartment.

Quit without saving, restarted the game, same thing happened.

I give up with the For Rent apartments... sigh. AND the doors still don't drop with cut-away walls.

I have been playing it without any problems at least none I have noticed that affect my save I use. Other than the fact that the landlord is extremely lazy and tends to spend his day either in his garden or lounging in the pool. The tenants do socialize fairly often (for some reason in the laundry room) But they also show up at the pool as well. I think my only annoyance is they drop by the landlords suite uninvited at times. Hmm Maybe thats because he is always doing something else instead of taking care business!

Is it good for just playing like an apartment complex or hotel? That's all I really want is the ability to have several people inhabit a lot LIKE NEIGHBORS instead of a whole household. Seriously want this, but I hear conflicting stories.

My experience had sims from other apartments invading my sim's apartment.
Perhaps it was just this one building, but if that is the norm, it defeats the whole purpose of the pack.
I could just build an apartment building without the pack to experience that. :D

Please, please be careful.
