Which EP?

Apparently, For Rent is almost non functional with the amount of bugs at the moment. I don't own it, so can't speak from my own experience, but Horse Ranch would be my pick even if For Rent did work. I love animals, and I just think the whole idea of it is more fun. :)

I haven’t done very much yet with the tenant/landlord stuff in For Rent (though I have done some), but I have spent plenty of time in the world and using other features of the pack, and I actually haven’t encountered any bugs yet. I’m not saying those bugs don’t exist because they obviously do, and I hope they’ll be fixed soon, but I’ve had a landlord buy a property, get a tenant, do maintenance on the water and electrics, I’ve had a nosey sim eavesdrop and discover secrets, I’ve added other rental properties to Tomarang, etc. So I really don’t think you should get the impression that the pack isn’t functional or is unplayable. I’ve really enjoyed what I’ve done with the new pack so far :)

There is some cross-pack compatibility with Home Chef Hustle and For Rent. For example the Night Market tent fits over the Home Chef Hustle table. And the Early Access For Rent cart grill looks so perfect next to the Home Chef Hustle selling table. The tea kettle is a must. I enjoy the pressure cooker and new recipes. The White Lily set is a large matching set of furniture and items that look lovely in a tiny home.

I do love the male CAS clothing, sleeping bag, and nectar making from Horse Ranch.

Before making your final choice, I would consider cross-pack compatibility and debug items even more than the horses and rentals. It is the little stuff that we use every day in all our worlds that makes a pack great.

Oh, well that's good to hear. :smile: As I say, I can't speak from my own experience, just from what people are saying on the bug report forum. Hopefully they'll do some fixing because I would like to get it in a sale eventually. :)

Thanks guys, I think I´ll go with Horse Ranch and wait for For Rent to get "playable" :)

If I had to choose I would pick Horse Ranch first. I love my farms and animals from Cottage Living, and enjoy playing my sims living a self-sustaining life on a farm. Horse Ranch added even more to my gameplay as I love horses and the 2 packs are awesome together! I put the Cottage Living animals on my ranches and the horses on my farms. I use the B/B and CAS from both for farmers and ranchers, so I use these 2 packs alot! I bought For Rent as well as I have been wanting gameplay specifically for apartments as I have already built several, and it was difficult because sims saw the whole building as theirs, constantly helping themselves to other apartments! So I am happy to be able to keep them separate, plus now I can have apartments with families of up to 8 in each apartment rather than just the lot! It depends on how you want to play and what suits your gameplay the best. The worlds on both packs are beautiful!

Just like to add that despites plenty of bugs reported, I've played in Tomarang nearly 24/7 since release and have not yet seen any bugs. I did not focus on the main feature Rentable units though, but I did build a couple complexes and move in tenants. Also played at the premade complexes in Tomarang with no problems - but not for sim-weeks. So, there is still plenty to do while waiting for the 1st obligatory patch to arrive ;)
