Hey Simmers, get ready to dive into The Sims 4: For Rent Expansion Pack which is serving up a whole new slice of Sim life in the vibrant city of Tomarang! Let’s explore what’s new in this EP!
The Sims 4 For Rent: Latest Features
Welcome to Tomarang
Say Sul Sul to Tomarang, a bustling city wrapped in a lush tropical embrace. Inspired by Southeast Asian aesthetics, this world is a playground for all your Sims’ dreams and stories.
From botanical gardens to animal sanctuaries, it’s a green haven for your Sims. The Tiger Sanctuary in Tomarang is a rabbit hole activity.
And child Sims? They’ve got hopscotch and marbles waiting for them in the park!
Marbles are made for kids, but you can keep collecting them even when you’re all grown up.
Hopscotch is kid-friendly, but teenagers and older Sims can join in on the fun too.
Build Multi-Unit Dwellings
Did you ever wish that multiple Sim households could share the same lot? Well, your Sim prayers have been answered!
For the first time in The Sims 4, the For Rent Expansion Pack lets you build fully customizable multi-unit dwellings thanks to Residential Rentals.
You can build 6 units on a Residential Rental. Use the bb.increaserentalunitcap on/off cheat to surpass this limitation and have a maximum of 99 units per save.
A full Sim household of 8 Sims can live in a Unit.
Whether it’s a cozy duplex, a spacious apartment for a large family, or something unique, the choice is yours.
And guess what? You can do this in ANY liveable world in The Sims 4.
However, you can’t build high-rises like in City Living.
Drama at Your Doorstep
These new Residential Rentals set the stage for Sims to uncover secrets through eavesdropping, snooping, and yes, even breaking into people’s apartments.
Sims with the Nosy trait and the Seeker of Secrets Aspiration are the neighborhood’s detectives.
Night Market Vibes
Feeling hungry? Take your Sims on an evening stroll to the iconic Night Market, aglow with lanterns and buzzing vendors.
Discover tantalizing foods and unique items, then head home to cook dishes like Khao Niao Mamuang or Tofu Pad Thai.
Halo Halo and Thai Iced Milk Tea for dessert, anyone?
Property Management
Ever wanted to play landlord? Now you can.
Become a savvy Property Owner, live amongst tenants, or keep separate residences while raking in that sweet rental income.
But watch out – low ratings may lead to a tenant revolt. Handle insect infestations, tackle challenges like mold, and keep your Sims happy to avoid any nasty surprises.
Evictions, fears of misbehavior, and second chances – it’s all part of the story.
Property Managers, brace yourself for inspections, broken objects, and the responsibility of keeping the water heater and electrical fuse box in check.
New Aspirations, Traits, and Fears
To spice up your Sims’ personalities, the For Rent Expansion Pack brings five new traits into the mix.
Your Sims can now be:
- Nosy, diving deep into the secrets of other
- Generous, spreading good vibes and gifts
- Cringe, adding that extra touch of awkward charm
- Child of the Village, connecting with the community in a special way
- Wise, because, let’s be honest, wisdom comes with age.
The expansion pack introduces four new Aspirations tailored for the nosiest of Seeker of Secrets, the ultimate Five-Star Property Owner, the local Fount of Tomarani Knowledge, or the Discerning Dweller.
Adding a dash of reality, Fears now include tenants being afraid of eviction due to misbehavior or failing to pay the rent.
New Community Events
The For Rent Expansion Pack introduces community events like Potlucks and Pool Parties. Bring your neighbors together, share some delicious dishes, and dive into the pool for some splashy fun.
It’s all about fostering a sense of community within your Residential Rentals.
New Utility Objects: Water Heater and Electrical Box
In the world of property management, it’s not just about fancy decor and spacious apartments.
The For Rent Expansion Pack throws in some real-world challenges with the addition of new utility objects – the Water Heater and Electrical Box.
Property Owners, take note!
Your Sims will need warm showers and flicker-free lights, so make sure these new utilities are in check.
Level up your Handiness skills and keep things running smoothly. Your tenants will thank you.
⇒ Quick Tips
- Boats and Tuk Tuks are purely for setting the scene, Sims can’t use them.
- Maintenance Troubles Lot Challenge added. Maintenance Events occur only on Residential Rentals by default.
- Mold gameplay and mold deaths are optional and avoidable.
- There are no Zombie outbreaks linked to this new death type.
