What does everyone think of "For Rent"?

[Charlie's_Angel]

Is it actually legit?

I am unsure. I just don’t trust them that they can release a so big pack without breaking other DLC. I will wait for a gameplay + Lets play from a simmer which own all (EP)pack before I get it. Most bug reports come in the first week, so I normally know if I can live with the bugs or not. I will avoid it if we get break ins, I dislike klepto sims. I don’t want burglars in my game.

Everything is 100% going to get broken with this. Actually I'm going to make a predictions thread for what we think is going to get broken

Let me think of it this way: If Callmekevin finds a funny scenario for Jim Pickens in this DLC, then it is definitely worth it.

It would be good to know what exactly is the difference between kleptomaniac (autonomously steal things, but may not break in home without permission) and nosey (apparently break in home autonomously without permission, but not sure if it includes autonomously stealing even without kleptomaniac trait). The problem is that if both nosey and kleptomaniac autonomously involve stealing that means a wasted trait is used up for any sims who are both nosey and kleptomaniac since kleptomaniac would not be a unique trait anymore when it comes to stealing.

In the trailer, the nosey neighbor wasn't stealing when she broken in, she was looking through their stuff to blackmail them with. That's why the neighbor gave her money later in the trailer. I'm not sure stealing is part of it.

I bought the pack early. I can’t wait to play it.

The Sims community has been begging for the return of burglars. If they do make a reappearance, I'm not expecting they'll function as longtime simmers may be expecting.

However, many simmers love over-the-top, uncontrollable drama as much as Generation Now Maxis does. As it looks, they may enjoy the pack's upcoming features.

For the rest of us..New Maxis is at the wheel. Be careful what you wish for.

Burglars (although they are controversial where some people may not like them) I think should be basegame instead of locked behind dlc. That is coming from someone who has spent a lot of money on dlc from this game as well.

You know how it goes. If they add burglars to the base, it'd go something like infants.
You can have free burglars but you have to buy this new Ex Pack in order to get security systems and police. Otherwise, they'll just rob your sims blind but..free content!

Actually, you might be all right if your sims have high Fitness Skill. They can just beat up burglars. No need to pay for the Ex Pack.

Gameplay trailer will drop today. Hopefully we get more information, specifically about the nosy sims. If they only break in i can live with it, I will just disable it with a mod and delete them in my vanilla game (I have this routine already with klepto and recycle sims)

@Xeriath What mod do you use to disable traits? Do you just remove the mod then and the effect remains? I use MCCC to block such undesirables but it has to be installed.

Ah, I wrote it wrong; I just use mods which disable the behavior. So, for klepto I use noautonomousswipe (Bienchen) and for the recycling issue I use RecycleDiscipleFix(Zero). I use too a mod which disable that vampire toggle automatic on all their powers as flying as bat, mist walk and running if I they are unplayed (Nexusmods: Vampire NPC Bat Mist Run movement disabled). They all package mods, so if I remove the mods the default behavior goes back.

I personally don’t use MCCC. I know it’s a great mod but most of the feature I don’t need and the base module conflicts with some of my used mods. So, I always search for alternative solutions.

That kind of makes sense. Why wait until Thanksgiving or Black Friday for releasing the gameplay trailer since Thanksgiving Day is not celebrated this month outside of the United States? It would make the most sense I think for the gameplay trailer to actually come before Thanksgiving Day.

Yeah, the trailer was a disappointment for me. Too much focus of the landlord and almost no gameplay? Now, I am sure people which want to play landlord will have a lot of fun in it … if the pack works as they advertisement.

Just more bloat to an already bloated game. I'd love the ability to make apartments that have separate families, but I don't want all the rest. That seems to be the case with every DLC, big or small. I want one thing, or one feature, and get so much I don't care about thrown at me. Not adding anything else, ever. I already disabled around 60 DLC I own.

Will they have elevators ...or do you need City living... sounds just like a new lot type like park,lounge,bar, or retail... will you be able to rent the store on the 1st floor while renting out the floors above...Really luv to see a hood edit tool...☻
