The Sims 4 City Living: Bad News about Apartments

The Sims 4 City Living Official Apartments Trailer 037

SimGuruNeel has confirmed some information about Apartments in The Sims 4 City Living. Basically, if you planned to expand Apartments beyond the world of San Myshuno, you’re in for some bad news. He confirmed that not only will we be completely out of options to build an apartment from scratch (like in The Sims 2 Apartment Life), but we also won’t be able to place apartments outside San Myshuno.

This is the end of Sims 4 for me. They really water down their content… so if I want my sims to live in apartments I HAVE to have make them live in the same city over and over and over again….. SO stupid and limited. Sims 4 is done. Just drop it now and move onto Sims 5 please.

They said if sims 4 isn’t successful, there will be no sims 5. :/ I reckon they are just trying to make this game as fun as possible while still making it avaliable for low end computers.

Ah well, bit disappointed. :/ At least the lot traits are customizable. And as long as there are plenty of options to choose from, I can over look that bit.

Wow they introduce a big new feature like Apartments and they still dumb that down too? i’m guessing Sims 2 still reigns in best features…

If EA really pushed their development team they can maybe get it down to 2 families until release!

OMG you changed the comment section thank goodness!!

Anyway, yeah that’s a load of crap. In TS3 you could have build something close to apartments, but not being able to build apartments in TS4 adds another limitation that the game didn’t need.

EA is so fucking stupid. Just when you think they couldn’t regress and make the game any worse, they pull this dumb shit. How is it that previous iterations could do all the things that they’ve taken out? Done with this game tbh.

Why that? They still have October for fix those stuff, there goes the half of the people who would order this EP.
They say: ‘We love community feedback” but my guess they just wanna to sell some unfinished and bad explores Expansions.
I’m very hyped wet, everything is good, but they have to focus on the Community.

Sooooo excited for this! I wouldn’t want apartments in different towns anyway. I like to keep a certain vibe for every city anyway! This is what I’ve been waiting for since apartments are (and continue it be ) my absolute favourite! I am however not to hyped about the price but I’m just gonna wait to get it around christmas time when target has half their store on sale (srsly wtf target)

Well you can build aparments in TS2 with cheats, so one can only hope 🙂
I am upset about this but cannot wait still 🙂

I can understand the frustration, but I have to think that the main reason for a lot of their ‘outline’ is to ensure against crashes etc, ie: higher quality imagery and effects and lower amount of information to load… like the size of Town’s etc.. I know that since I’ve had this game, since it came out about, it’s crashed about a handful of times, which is really not that much.. compared to prior games. Looking forward to this game pack! 🙂

yeah, the prior installments would crash on me CONSTANTLY. this one? never has, which is a relief since my computer is about 10 years old and programs crashing really messes stuff up.

I don’t get it, it seems like the continuously miss what is important to their target audience? Or at the very least, they miss what is integral to their core audience that actually buys expansions?

wow, it is almost like all of the people whining were forced to play this new sims entry, instead of CHOOSING TO. seriously, they do not care that it is not EXACTLY what you want, which is good; people are stupid and make terrible decisions. sims 4 was not one of them, and this is honestly one of their best expansions to date. your loss if you let your immature whinging keep you from playing it.
