Building FUNCTIONAL APARTMENTS in The Sims 4: For Rent 

that would take consistency and effort; EA doesn't do that anymore

@@sirgaykrovosso it’s easier to make completely new swatches for every single item?

@@sky-ms3eb nope, but that's EA for ya,,, they don't make sense at the best of times 🤦‍♂

Yeah no idea why they haven't just made certain colorways you have to stick to. There can be outliers but *everything* should have the same colorways by default. If modders can do it, EA can do it. It's just nobody really cares. You all complain about it but yet you'll go buy the pack. It's why EA just doesn't care really. The only reason I think we've gotten so many good packs lately, with content that people have wanted for years, is because now there's other life sim games on the horizon.

@@sirgaykrovosdid they ever? Basegame didn't have consistency and effort. My opinion? Higher-ups in EA didn't understand The Sims franchise so left it to the sims team because they were already doing a decent job and making them money when they took it over. Then they started seeing how much money was being made and started putting in limitation and dictating things for the smaller sims games like the mobile games and that failed facebook game leading to Sims 4 (though to an extent Sims 3) which is when it all went downhill.

Yes! i Grew up in South East Asia, Mainly (Taiwan, the Phillipines and later Japan) this was Really Fun to Watch and the For Rent pack is One of my Favorites, as i've seen, I Wish to Get the DLC very Soon!

I can just see a tenant wonder why the hotdog suit

I can imagine him giving everyone no walls

i can't wait to watch stanley's next get rich quick scheme

I WAS GONNA SAY

🎉 he's tried unofficially before lol. Keeping tenants out from under a roof. I can't wait.

She has a problem of thinking EVERYTHING needs to match or it looks weird.. Not everything has to be an exact match. It looks better in my opinion when there's a few things here and there that don't match. Looks more realistic and like it's lived in rather than a perfect model home.

@@Eventide215yees, honestly one of my favourite parts about building and decorating in the sims is the fact that you can do wild shit u wouldn’t do in real life. maybe it doesn’t match or maybe it’s “too much” but isn’t that at least half the fun?

@@ginasndergaard2709I see it quite the opposite really. In real life who has a perfect set of matching furniture? Where EVERYTHING in the house matches with things. Like who matches their bedspread to the downstairs wallpaper? I can see the draw towards doing it on the Sims because you see a top down view of each room at all times unlike real life - obviously - but the issue is it also becomes a bit boring to the eye. After a while things just kind of blend together because everything's so matched. The best part of this build in my opinion was the exterior because of how it doesn't match but works well together. Not matching but complimentary.

@@Eventide215 yeah i might’ve worded it wrong, but i absolutely meant to agree with you! i think the best part of the sims is that things don’t have to match cause it’s not real anyway, and it also looks more realistic when things are mismatched

100% agree. I think things are coming together nicely and then she'll get upset its not 100% matching and scrapes it all.

assuming that having two units that are 25 tiles count as two separate "micro" homes as opposed to one "tiny" home that's 50 tiles

@@katechenault4808 I don't think you'll be able to have units and tiny homes on the same lot (in terms of it actually functioning as a tiny home in game), because "Residential Rental" and "Tiny Home Residential" are both lot types, and you can only have 1 lot type assigned at a time. But the furniture that came with the Tiny Living SP, like the murphy bed, will be useful in apartment builds.

@@emilyprice178 Absolutely, this is what I meant :)

I was thinking it would be like appartments?

OMG I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT and surprised no one has mentioned it 😭😭

I LOVE THAT MONOBLOCK CHAIR SO MUCH, and in the pre order stuff, there was a micromatic umbrella aswell 🥲🥲🥲 I literally have the chair in my apartment right now 😭😭😭😭😭

Same. Can’t wait to put them in a garden

it’s a universal experience

But you can't clip it to a table apparently!! I thought you could use it with an outside table but no:(

kinda sucks that its all fake and its going to be pretty empty, i honestly wished the world was just more compact with all the buildable lots in the city neighbourhood close together

I grew up in Singapore and this is hitting all my nostalgia buttons!

Being Thai and based here I would say I'm slightly disappointed :( They hit all typical tourist symbols like spirit houses and tuktuks, but the world is everywhere and nowhere in SEA + its Phuket like 10+ years ago lol If EA's going to be specific with a culture then it should be true to it, also not for the tiger sanctuary - they sedate those tigers with K and it shouldn't be promoted. Overall, it's almost there and I appreciate the effort but one Asian American rapper is not going to be able to consult EA on SEA culture.

Real disappointed that it’s not even a dining chair so you can’t use it in a functional restaurant. It’s a armchair

​@svideos5754 omg really? I didn't know this! That's really disappointing, when I saw it in the trailer, I thought it would make the perfect outdoor dining chair! Well, I guess not🤷🏽‍♀️

¿Bueno o bonito? Bueno es Monte Komorebi que tiene gameplay este es muy malo.

i'm really not a fan of EA, but i can tell that either they're pushing for more DLC content for the Sims, or the dev team was really pushing to get more stuff done. either way, i'm extremely impressed by what the Sims 4 team accomplished this year. it's honestly kind of crazy. it's just really sad knowing that this expansive game is being helmed by one of the most notorious game companies in the industry.

I'm going to go wild in Newcrest. I might demolish Magnolia Promenade and make it all apartments.

@@Simbecilethat would be awesome, you could make the bottom floor of the buildings shared space shopfronts to fit in with the vibe of the world

​@@durdleduc8520Kayla said a couple of times that she thinks covid might have delayed a bunch of their projects so it pretty much came out all at the same time and I think it would make sense!

I agree that the world needs more lots and should be bigger but like complaining about empty lots is juts moronic. Just place a building there if you want a building there it’s almost that is a feature of the game

​@r.i.pmydog7723 I agree, if there weren't any empty lots, that would be a complaint from the builders. The base game doesn't have that many great public lots...

She admitted in a video before that she often uses references of real life houses when designing her builds, so it's not too surprising if she had reference pictures to look at while creating.

It’ll proably show whole building cost as a residential rental is a buyable venue like a restaurant or vet clinic and the sim buying the whole building still would need total cost of the whole building like any other business. In game you will proably get unit cost.

About the bugs in live mode, yeah I don't think it's going to be fixed, but with things in build/buy like the wall paper lag, I reckon they will solve it eventually. I wonder if the lag can be helped by building the entire build as a normal resedential and setting up the units only when you are done.

I think EA was more thinking that we would build up, not spread out, individual building that most of us plan on doing.

I love games tables in Sims. Especially in backyards and patios. As sims will sometimes go all the way out to the patio instead of dinning table to eat. If it’s a games table, they will only go to it for fun.

That made me laugh way more than I thought it would lol

I found a similar one it is blue tho and £100=$120 It is from pacharama An other one from liliangrenenough that one is £260 = $330 It is green tho

@@literally_remus_lupin I know she shops from threadup sometimes, wouldn't surprise me if she found it there!

depending on where you like to shop, h&m has some like this quite often (here in england atleast)

my 12% is the first thing I think about when I think of thai architecture because so much of the series is in the protagonist's homes cus they are neighbors and both their moms have shops on the first floor

@@phosphenevision omg YES I really got into my 12% as well, its also a perfect example

do you have any other series you like? i’ve never watched any before! i looked up moonlight chicken and it seems cute :)

@@libramoons I'll butt in to say one of my favorite thai series is ghost host ghost house, it's kinda short and low budget but it's a really cute and well made story, the synopsis sounds scarier than it is hehe it's more funny and sweet than scary. it's available on RU-vid too !

@@libramoons i really recommend one that just started “last twilight”, and finished series that come to mind as well are bad buddy and until we meet again

Meeeeee lol

I'm more worried about Gameplay and the size of the world. I love apartments tho. Just not sure about paying $64 CAD for it. 😂

Been watching so much of the content and it does seem bugged. Like Kayla n James have had multiple issues e.g. going between rental lots so I'm holding out for now

Nah, not worried, I want the feature of multi unit so much I broke my rule and pre-ordered (I literally never pre-order or even buy first day). i haven’t seen anything so severely bugged I’m disinterested. Especially since I see myself mostly playing tenant and not landlord.

I'm not worried at all, more worried for my old pc😅 I'm taking notes of all the early access mistakes

Same. I have not seen many early access builds that utilizes rooftop and basement

I saw its on sale already on cd keys!

@anniexx6645 ooh really! Need to check

@bellab5145 i always buy my packs there (i live in the Netherlands) and its totally safe!

Arguably, you should pretty much ALWAYS wait for the packs to go on sale 😂 or just get them from CD keys, I've had no problems with it so far 🤭

@@gwendolynrobinson3900 fully fully agree!!! The packs are almost never full price, even at release. I’ve used it for years and it is a legit store :)

Thank you so much for this information! I love leaning culture specific details like this. This is actually so similar to many other areas of the world. I remember learning to specifically ask for the water closet in the UK, NOT the bathroom, because they could be two different things. Also, when Snowy Escape came out, the builders for that pack were advised to put the toilets in separate little rooms adjacent to the bathrooms. Anyway, thanks for the info. And yes, they are called powder rooms, or half baths.
