Sydnie provides some examples of how those stories might unfold: “A grumpy Property Owner might “blame tenants” for their problems,” she says, “while a more positive one might “ask about rental conditions” in an attempt to make their property more pleasant to live in.

Or they can do both-manage a building that they live in along with other Sims! You can then build up to six units on that space (plus a communal area!) using the existing room widget.īut you don’t have to take on the burden of managing a property your Sims can also experience multi-unit living from the perspective of Tenants. Players who want their Sims to be Property Owners can turn an existing lot into a Residential Rental-or buy one like any other business. Here’s how it works: A rental property is a new type of residence that also functions as a business. Or maybe you want them to build a full apartment empire spanning multiple properties-there are loads of options.” “Maybe you want your Sim to rent out a spare bedroom, or build a cottage in the backyard for their grandparents. “And that’s part of why we designed them to be super flexible!” says Senior Game Designer Sydnie Ritchie. So adding rentals makes the game more relatable to those real-world experiences.” And it makes sense Residential Rentals reflect the living situation of a huge portion of our audience-and the rest of the world. “There was a lot of demand from fans,” Lead Designer Jessica Croft tells us. The team has wanted to add this feature to the game for quite some time because it was a popular request from players.
