The Sims™ 4

Did they fix for rent expansion pack?
It's pretty much the only pack I'm interested about, but of course the negative reviews are turning me off. People are complaining about game breaking bugs and important features that are broken. Did they fix any of it since?

I like it enough, there's some bugs but they're hard to hit. The other day I found out that if you don't have any apartments' rooms on your ground floor it kills the ability to select any of the apartments.

I really wish it was true multi-purpose lots though and you could put more then residences in them. I'd love to have businesses on the ground floor with apartments above. You can sort-of hack it with LittleMsSim's mods but its not the same.
The only for rent related bug i've come across is not being able to finish repairs myself, so i rent a person to do it.

There is still this issue that you will maybe trigger more with For Rent and residential lots:

Then we still have the invisible clutter bug which will bloat your save: https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/cl-du-fr-eco-objects-cluttering-worldscollectibles-disappearing/5036144

I don’t recommend purchasing it, except you only want the CAS/BB items. Don’t touch the gameplay(residential rental) until they fix these two bugs.

I personally like For Rent because it has potential to be fun, but at the same time I am concerned about those bugs mentioned by Xeriath could potentially corrupt my saved games as well. The main selling point of this dlc which involves residential rental units is where it flops the most I think. Not because of loading screens, but because of bugs related to For Rent.

Another problem with For Rent is if you own every world like I do then you would have to play one saved game for a long time before being worried about their not being enough lots to house every sim. Me not being worried there not being enough lots for every sim to have a place to live because of me owning every world is also the reason why I always have "move out" turned off from neighborhood stories, but always have 'move in" turned on. When you combine Businesses and Hobbies expansion pack where you cannot merge small business with residential rental along with potentially scary bugs that are game breaking, owning every world, haunted residential from Paranormal is a different lot type from residential rental, and me not necessarily wanting to play with residential rental in all of my save files that would help explain why I think that this expansion pack could be easily skipped. The only expansion packs that i like less than For Rent are Horse Ranch (because I do not play with nectar, horses, and farm animals that much which are the main selling points of Horse Ranch) and Discover University (adds lots of nice things, but the main selling point of this dlc that involves universities is long and tedious).
