Will you buy Sims For Rent?

Oh, definitely. I really want some active apartment buildings all over Sim Nation! I have groups of friends living together because there's not enough space for them to be neighbors. I loved doing that in Sims 2, having Sims who went to University together get their first apartments close to each other so that they could maintain their relationships/friendships. It's much easier for my play style, which is not only rotational, but sort of also a colonist and generational player as well. It's a lot of work to maintain a populace this way, but apartments are the missing link to my old play style.

That sounds really fun :)

Now, if I can just figure out how to get the hang of playing Uni rotationally without disrupting Sim grades

Use a one-week rotation and rotate away from the students before 6pm on the last day of the term when grades come in!
They will still receive their grades (though you won't see them) and you won't be prompted to re-enroll until the next time you rotate back.
(You can always look at their career panel to see their overall GPA, but if you want to see the grades for each class, there's always the ol' save without exiting trick...)

and figure out a good blind dating method without a mod, I'll have something very close to my old Sims 2 flow back, which pleases me greatly. :grin:

I kinda like visiting events that generate random townies... though that's more of a "quietly observe until you see someone you might want to talk to" method, not a "blind dating method", I guess it depends on your style

@mightysprite Thank you for the advice! Especially the Uni suggestions, I think you've told me that before but I forgot. I'll have to write it down this time on a sticky note and slap it on my monitor, lol. Do you think more than one week could be skipped with that method? Sometimes I get caught up with a household and could miss it. Also, when I go back to the Uni household, is it at the same time I left or after 6pm?

For blind dating, I used to use the Matchmaker all the time in Sims 2. I loved how she would just summon your date out of the sky and they'd land flat out on the sidewalk and the date would begin, lol. I've always wished that the Romance Gurus at the festival did the same things as the Matchmaker. They don't do much of anything, unfortunately. I'll probably look into getting LittleMsSam's Simda mod again.
