The Sims 4: Loading Multiple Lots proven as possible?

O Sim BR proved that the simplest things can miss our eye!

The official screenshot that EA released on 4th of November celebrating the launch of Pools in The Sims 4 includes a rather important detail.

In case you didn’t know; the ability to see other Sims being controlled on the lot that your Household isn’t located in or that your Household didn’t visit isn’t possible. When you load a Household, the only area that where you can control Sims and see vibrant surroundings is your Household’s Lot and Public Area in that Neighborhood.

To demonstrate, I loaded the Lot where the Pool House on the picture above is located. I could select all objects and move my Sims around that Lot, but when I tried to select an object from a different Lot, it gives me an option to Visit that Lot which will give me a short Loading Screen. After I have visited that lot, the option to choose objects from my previous objects will only give me a ”Visit” option.

It may just be some sort of a debug option that EA has to make this screenshot more vibrant, but whatever it is, you can’t see something like this in retail versions of The Sims 4!

I hate how EA or Maxis don’t release these houses to the Gallery… They are always brilliantly made so why not share them?? 🙁

Josh, they are actually in the gallery. The complicated part is “who” made them. It has to be in one of the Origin ID’s of the producers, if not. Then possibly someone else built it. I think.
