If you’re wondering about the possibility of transforming your existing apartments from City Living or Eco Lifestyle into the new Residential Rentals introduced in The Sims 4: For Rent, let’s break it down.
Understanding the Distinction
Residential Rentals are a brand-new Lot Type with unique gameplay introduced in The Sims 4: For Rent expansion.
However, existing apartments in City Living or Eco Lifestyle remain distinct and separate from Residential Rentals.
This means you can’t change existing City Living or Eco Lifestyle apartments to Residential Lots and rent them out.
Mixing and Matching
While existing apartments maintain their individuality, the game allows for an interesting twist.
You can place Residential Rentals on lots in City Living or Eco Lifestyle worlds. This feature adds an extra layer of dimension and variety to your Sims’ living experience.
In other words, existing City Living or Eco Lifestyle apartments can coexist with the new apartments you’ll build on Residential Rental lots in these worlds.
Penthouses and Residential Rentals
If you’re considering building a Residential Rental on a Penthouse lot from City Living, here’s the scoop: Penthouses are special lots with unique functionalities.
Unfortunately, they won’t seamlessly integrate with the new Residential Rental lot type.
Penthouses and their existing features will remain unchanged, even with the addition of the For Rent expansion.
In a Nutshell
While you can’t directly transform existing apartments into Residential Rentals, you have the flexibility to incorporate Residential Rentals into the City Living or Eco Lifestyle worlds.
Remember, when it comes to Penthouses, they remain a unique lot type and won’t seamlessly mesh with the Residential Rental venue.
Experiment, enjoy variety, and create a dynamic Sims experience!
