I made an apartment building under $20,000 to use For Rent!

Glad to see James already getting into the slumlord mindset by constantly looking for the cheapest options

It’d be fun for Laird to dumpster dive for some furniture for the tenants apartments

Should be a communal laundry room in the basement too! And using all the stained floors from Strangerville.

I'm excited to see everything the community makes for for for for For Rent.

Back story idea- this apartment block was purchased by a developer a few years back and they renovated the first two buildings but went broke before the last one could be done. Ultimately they went bankrupt and due to the hazardous condition of the remaining building they couldn’t sell it so the whole space was foreclosed on. Now it’s just sitting there, wasting away and because no one has been willing to buy it from the bank and put the work in! I’m excited for this LP, it was definitely made for your playing style! Fingers crossed it functions well and isn’t riddled with bugs 🤞🏼

I'm so looking forward to this. I remember in sims 2 making my own apartments. You can do so much with it. Can't wait to build normal ones likea boarding house or trailer park. But I really want to make tiny apartments and a converted storage unit complex. Trying to come up with some out of the box ideas.

My first apartment weirdly looked just like this one. There was even a full size window right in the shower that had a privacy frost on it, and then 6 months later they replaced all the building windows and removed the frost and we were told we could add no decals or anything to the new windows. So I would only shower at night and I would put a sheet over the window and it would get soaking wet... and I was on the first floor next to a busy sidewalk............... very fun. I'm excited to watch this lets play 😄

This will be the first pack I’ve bought in a while. I think it will give me a new fresh outlook on the game

the recreation area reminds me so much of the abandoned trash lot they turned into a baseball field on hey Arnold and I am here for it

You creating the upstairs and making it feel like they are renovating. It is literally the reason why I watch you for the grunge and the creativity. Literally love all of your content

it would be cool to add a decommissioned “pool” by doing an open ceiling basement with cracks everywhere and weeds growing in it!! adding a little fountain spout in the cracks like it was leaking would be a fun touch too

The two doors immediately next to each other is very accurate to the crappy apartment I lived in for a few years lol. This actually looks super similar to mine with the hall way in the middle and units on either side. Later on I think putting laundry machines in the dirty downstairs area with the water heater would be good bc I definitely didn’t have in-unit laundry.

Something I really struggle with in building apartments is making the shapes of the individual units look different. In my building the biggest unit is a 3 bedroom unit for a family with kids, and the smallest unit (mine lol) is a micro-studio. I'd love to see somebody build something like that in game, where the units are suuuuper different .

I love seeing James getting so excited about this pack! I’m so excited for this next let’s play. Some suggestions: bringing back the “using furniture we find in the dumpster to furnish” challenge because I feel it seems realistic, maybe using the home chef hustle selling table to make cash early on?? AND doing what we did in dream home decorator and “buying” the building next door to this build and renovating that too.

The basement also can be a laundry room apartment buildings have that in some places in the city

im so excited for more city like worlds! myself and most of the people playing can't relate to american suburbia or rural living. i haven't been this excited for a pack or willing to buy early since paranormal stuff

I want to do a lot like this for each base game world. I already am mostly done with the willow creek build. It’s two shotgun houses together one modern and one traditional.

I wonder if you'll be able to make separate buildings work as apartments, like building a trailer park and renting out each trailer. Or a lot filled with tiny homes and make some sort of commune. I have so many ideas for gameplay!

I wish they would release building cheat-sheets with the pack announcements. Just a list of things you will need (like that boiler or the mailbox) and how big they are, so one can start planning and building.

I am probably going to wait until this pack goes on sale (though I feel like the last three packs haven't gone to the standard expansion sale price yet lol) but I am kind of excited to turn every single family lot into a multi family lot just like where I live lol.
