Will you buy Sims For Rent?

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?

@LiELF Haha glad I could help :) Yes, you can skip as long as you want. When you rotate between households, the time (and season) carry on at the same rate. Like, if you are playing household A and it's 4:30 pm on Tuesday in spring when you finish up with them, and you rotate to another household, it will be 4:30pm on Tuesday in spring to start with household B.

they have apartments in the city, you move in get it fixed up, you leave, you come back and you cant get into your apartment. oh and if u try to rebuy it it will be empty. that was my experience with sims 4 apartments. and over the years ive gone back and tried to make it work with same results. so no apartments again for me/

I'll wait to see the reviews and possibly for a sale. I also want to see that the world is a decent size. It looks like a promising pack but I am a little pissed about having to pay for the apartments feature twice. I love city living but it should have come with buildable apartments in the first place. I'm sure I will end up buying it eventually though.

As much as I like this new world, I'd like to find out more about the pack. Playing landlord may be fun for a few runs, but for longer term I think I'd be more interested in using the new lot type to simultaneously play separate households on the same lot. I'm still not sure how this would work, or if it would function the same as City Living. I'd also like to know what features can be toggled off. I won't always want to be dealing with the the upkeep of the building or dealing with burglars or mold.
I'm also curious if owning multiple properties is limited to rentals, or is it possible to just own multiple residences?

I would think you could at least set it up so that you own several properties that technically have the lot type "residential rental," but only set them up for your sim's household and never rent them out to anyone.

That's interesting, I've never heard of that particular bug before. Did you ever report it?

Between this and "It's complicated"

Depends on pre-pack patch. If major bugs I wait... If fixes I really want, I update, and then may as well buy at release.

Preorder B)

I'm excited about the social aspects of the new EP and would buy it just for those reasons, alone. Having a sim be able to snoop gives a lot of options for storytelling. I'm a little anxious about the price point being so high, but that's EA. I'm not super excited to play as a landlord, though, just the different social dynamics between the residents/renters? I find it kind of tone deaf to release a Landlords pack considering the huge housing crunch going on.

You literally don't have to, though.

Anyway, the housing crunch also impacts home purchases, but our sims can buy houses. Sims have to live somewhere.

I thought I reached a point with the Sims 4 where I felt like I didn't need anymore packs to further complete my game, but then this pack shows up and of course it's something that's perfect for my existing playstyle. I'm also the person who does my best to wait for a sale before buying packs, but if I'm being honest with myself the last time I've been this exited for a new pack launch was around the time of Seasons, not even Growing Together, a pack I've been dreaming of had me this excited. So I might just give in and pre order.
