Twinfinite, along with other publications, had a chance to hear more about The Sims 4 City Living’s development from Grant Rodiek, one of the producers on this pack. Grant mostly focused on explaining how San Myshuno came to life and how much details the development team added into it:
“This was the most difficult world we have ever made in the history of The Sims,” Producer Grant Rodiek said on a recent roundtable call with reporters. “It was just an overwhelming undertaking, and it’s just like this sort of phenomenal – I’m super proud of that team, and I think they have a lot to be proud of.”
Despite the difficulties, Rodiek doesn’t believe the team had to cut any corners or compromise on its vision for City Life. Looking back, however, he now thinks that “maybe in some cases we should have. It’s one of these things where we basically went all out. We just sort of went crazy on this one, and I’m sure I will get yelled at by some manager for the budget implications.”
It sounds like the team was also yelling at itself over the state of its DLC right up until release. “There were just so many details and places to examine, and our art director was just doing passes and passes and passes and passes,” recalled Rodiek. “‘Oh god, we missed this camera angle! Oh god this shot doesn’t work. Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! Oh god! Oh god!’”
Because The Sims 4: City Living really isn’t a true open world, Rodiek doesn’t want to frame it as such. But he didn’t shy away from the idea that the expansion moved the needle in that direction a bit.
“So it’s sort of a whole thing where hopefully people notice it, hopefully people appreciate it, hopefully it makes them happier with the experience,” he said. “We’re always trying to look at little details like that that will hopefully improve the experience for more people.”
I do not take credit for this, I saw somebody do it when I was looking at rooms on the gallery. I thought I would share the technique here. The problem with apartments is that they save as individual rooms. That kind of stinks because I don’t want to be putting together puzzle pieces!
Solution? Knock out the bit of wall where each room has a door and then you can save the entire apartment as one unit! Just put in the description to put the wall/doors back where the holes are located. Please remember to properly label the location of your apartments. It’s close to impossible to figure out where they go if the address isn’t included in the title or description.
Check out the screens below to learn how to do this step-by-step:
You’re only able to share one room at a time when they’re closed down with walls and doors:
apartment1
apartment1a
However, you can upload an entire apartment room by simply removing the doors, deleting one piece of wall and leaving an empty space.
apartment1b
apartment1c
Once you click on the floor the entire apartment will count as one room. You can now save it on the gallery:
Note: This was first published by me on my tumblr, if this looks familiar to some of you!
After almost a year of waiting for a new Sims 4 Expansion Pack, The Sims Team has finally released City Living which is the third Expansion Pack for The Sims 4. City Living mainly revolves around a new downtown world of San Myshuno that has some new activities for your sims. However, was this pack worth the 11-month wait? Let’s find out!
Create A Sim
There have been some very vibrant items added to Create-a-Style (CAS). These new CAS items draw inspiration from various cultures such as; Japanese, Indian, and African. There are certainly a lot of items to pick from but one thing I’m not pleased about is that you can really see a difference between the amount of new CAS items for masculine and feminine Sims. Here’s just an example: adult Sims with a masculine fashion choice get 41 items total while adult sims with a feminine fashion choice get 71 items. That’s about 80% more clothing for feminine sims than for masculine sims! I know these tendencies towards feminine fashion were recognizable before in The Sims Franchise but City Living really makes it more obvious.

TS4 x64 2016 11 02 20 34 18 66
TS4 x64 2016 11 02 20 32 05 45
In addition to the new world and the CAS items, you get 2 new traits and an aspiration that you can pick straight from CAS. The new traits are Vegetarian and Unflirty which, let’s face it, should’ve been included in The Sims 4 base game. The City Native aspiration focuses on your Sim exploring the city and eventually learning all the skills and secrets it has to offer.
Build Mode and Items
I’m really impressed with the new objects in build mode. For a long time we’ve witnessed The Sims 4 Packs focusing on luxurious, wealthy environments. City Living brings that too, but it also focuses on a grungy lifestyle with a new selection of used objects that you can get from the flea market or build mode.
There are around 300 new objects for you to choose from and most of them make a lot of sense and fit into the environment of San Myshuno. When I say most of them I mean all except the talking toilet. Seriously though, why are talking toilets that you can become friends (or enemies) with a higher priority than usable elevators?
One thing I’m really disappointed with regarding this pack is that it doesn’t focus enough on the builders. Sure, you get to build a penthouse which is basically a lot that’s really high. But, this pack really had a potential of bringing buildable apartments and instead it brought a few apartment shells that can only be played within San Myshuno. Get to Work (focusing on work) brought the ability to build your own workplace from scratch. Get Together (focusing on clubs) brought the ability to build your own club and customize it with your club’s signature. However, when it comes to building in City Living, you only get 3 penthouses which basically act as regular lots and apartments which can be shared on the gallery room-by-room. You’d definitely expect more build options for apartments from a pack titled ”City Living” but oh well…

City Living brings the lot traits feature which; even though some have been patched into the base game, seem to have a better purpose with this pack installed. On top of the 8 base game lot traits, you get 18 lot traits. You can add most of them to other lots but some are locked traits that cannot be removed from their lots or added to another lot. Most of the lot traits are really fun and bring unexpected surprises to your game-play experience.
Watch out – the gremlins will sometimes break all breakable objects on your lot after midnight!
San Myshuno and Festivals
San Myshuno offers 4 districts and a park neighborhood for you to live in and explore:
The Spice Market area brings 2 new apartments, a karaoke bar and a regular residential lot. If you’re into storytelling, the Spice Market is perfect for a ”Rags-to-Riches” story; or in this case, Spice Market to Uptown.
What I really like in this neighborhood (and other neighborhoods too) is the ambience and how Sims easily adjust to the urban surroundings. You’ll often see Sims making phone calls around the corner and taking their daily dose of caffeine while traveling to a certain location.

Things get really interesting during the Spice Festival. Sure, some of the items and features that appear during the Spice Festival are recycled and used for the other 4 festivals but what’s really great is that each festival still remains unique with a new set of interactions, colors, background music and swag / food that you can purchase at various stands.
With the Spice Festival, the main thing you should try out is the Spicy Challenge. Sims will compete in eating a certain spicy dish in an attempt to win a unique t-shirt that you can later use in CAS.

You definitely don’t want to miss out on the Flea Market which opens up at 10AM. This is your perfect opportunity to sell collectibles, food, and paintings you’ve made. All you need to do is have these items in your inventory and you can stock the first empty stand you find. If you’re more into spending money there are objects to both furnish and decorate your home. Overall, it’s a really cute concept executed well.

This district occasionally hosts the Humor & Hijinks Festival, letting your Sims prank or joke with each other. You join a team by drinking from a fountain entitled to a certain team. The more interactions you perform (like pranking other Sims) the more you put your team in the lead. You’ll occasionally receive notification messages in the top right corner letting you know how your team is doing. As each festival has its unique objects, this one lets you purchase a voodoo doll that lets you perform all sorts of crazy things on other sims thereby putting the pranksters team in the lead. The winning team will be announced an hour before the festival ends. The winner not only gets to see the fireworks of their winning team but he/she also receives 500 Simoleons, Fireworks and a VooDoo Doll in their inventory. It’s an interesting concept that definitely has room for more mischievous activities.

Unlike other neighborhoods, the Fashion District is the home of 2 festivals: the Romance Festival and GeekCon.
The Romance Festival brings several new romantic interactions, the ability to throw rose petals and a romance guru which can tell you your romantic future and give advice about your current relationship.
What I like about this festival is how easy it makes for two Sims to fall in love. In less than six Sim hours, my couple became boyfriend and girlfriend, fiance and fiancee and finally husband and wife. If you have an unflirty Sim then his/her only hope is to find love during this festival.

GeekCon is really focused on entertaining your Sim with gaming mats and gaming consoles. You can also use the telescope to spy on other apartments and build a rocket. The highlight of this festival is the Hack-a-ton and Ultimate Gaming Test, which lets your Sim compete for grand prizes such as a computer, simoleons or signed posters. I really love the ability to take a selfie with cosplayers a.k.a sims who wear themed costumes.

And last but not least, San Myshuno has one of the biggest parks in the game – Myshuno Meadows. Myshuno Meadows is a 64×64 lot that is designated as a “Central Park” and that cannot be changed. However, it is great for hosting weddings and other celebrations like a birthday party or a romantic private date all set for that perfect Sim proposal. Also in the surrounding area is a playground, basketball court, fishing spots, food stalls, and even places to find collectibles such as frogs.
Even though San Myshuno is small in some aspects considering that the inclusion of a new world is one of the main features, it brings enough details to make you forget about all of that. One thing I don’t really like about how things have been set is that there’s too much idle buildings present within active lots. Here’s an example: you’d think that the Fashion District has 5 apartment lots on it as they’re very close to each other. However, only 2 of them can be used while the ones marked in x are just decor. I know that buildings in the background are not supposed to be usable but I have no idea what stopped The Sims Team from making the marked lots inhabitable by Sims. Get Together had no problems delivering 9 lots in one neighborhood so why can’t the Fashion District have 7 lots?! When you look at it there’s just so much wasted potential.
Same goes for the Spice Market area: you have this nice little row of apartments and only half of them are usable. Not to mention the huge, unusable warehouse building that’s just placed there with no purpose whatsoever.
Although San Myshuno is laid out nicely, it feels like the developers could add a little more of the same, like make a few more apartment buildings inhabitable.
Apartments and Penthouses
Apartments in The Sims 4 City Living are a mixture of The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 apartments with a small twist. You get to move your Sims in a certain apartment but you don’t get to customize it the way you want to by adding more rooms or building an apartment from scratch like you could in The Sims 2 Apartment Life, which was released 8 years ago. Yes, 8 years ago we had more apartment building options than we have today. Not to mention that you didn’t have to wait for the loading screen when visiting your neighbor’s apartment – which you’ll encounter in The Sims 4 City Living.
San Myshuno brings 9 apartment buildings in total, with 24 inhabitable apartments. One apartment building offers 4 apartments, a few buildings have 3 and 2 apartments and one apartment building offers only one huge apartment in the Uptown area.
Interface of an apartment building with 4 apartments.
Living in an apartment has its pros and cons. One of the great things about it is that there’s never a dull moment when you’re living in a building with more than 2 households. Loud noises from your neighbors will upset your Sims and that’s when emotions start to kick in. You can either react in a calm way or have a fight with your neighbor which is really interesting to watch.

It’s not an easy thing to live in a low-end apartment. The utility box will frequently break causing a power outage in your entire apartment. Yeah, you can call a landlord to fix it for you but you’ll need to be in good relations with him/her in order for the landlord to help you out. Not to mention those mice that pop out of the wall every now and then (there is some speculation that you can block the little critters in by placing a solid object such as a couch in from of their home; however, that has not been tested by this writer as of yet….)…

One of the great things about apartments is that; even though you cannot have roommates, you can always give the keys to your apartment to other Sims. Don’t be surprised when you come home and find a bunch of Sims being too comfortable in your apartment though.
There’s something about having your Sims drink a glass of lemonade on the balcony of a grungy apartment that really makes you forget about all the limitations these apartments have…
There are 7 locked lot traits in total which are very specific to certain apartments. Like for example, the grungy apartments we talked about usually have a ”Needs TLC” lot trait. Some apartments have very specific lot traits, like the ”Romantic Fireplace” one that comes with a unique, purple-flamed fireplace which will cause your sim to be in a flirty mood. Compared to the other 18 lot traits that come with City Living, these 7 locked traits give a soul and a story to each apartment. However, it is unfortunate that these traits cannot be used elsewhere. Windenburg Island just screams for the great view trait, doesn’t it?
High-end apartments, especially the ones in the Uptown come with a gorgeous view. Speaking of which, some apartments in the Uptown area come with a Great View lot trait that cannot be changed. The Great View lot trait lets you look out the window and enjoy the view!
It seems like a lot of apartment customization possibilities have been sacrificed in order to make the apartment surroundings visually striking. The new game-play that comes with apartments is fun and challenging but the one downside of this is that the only opportunity to create and download apartment buildings and creations has been wasted…
Penthouses are basically regular lots on a really high level. Unlike apartments, penthouses can be built from the scratch and shared on the gallery. San Myshuno offers 3 Penthouses that you can customize any way you want to.
New Careers
The Sims 4 City Living brings 3 new careers: Social Media, Critic and Politician. These new careers are different to the ones you get with the base game and offer the ability for you to work from home. Choosing the work from home option on your phone will let you do certain assignments on the computer or through socialization with other Sims around the neighborhoods.
As an Internet Personality in the Social Media career, you get to build a fan-base through your computer by uploading viral videos, posting status updates and even recording let’s play videos! As you progress through this career branch you’ll unlock more interactions on the computer that will help you gain more followers and earn more money through advertising!
TS4 x64 2016 11 05 17 52 39 99
TS4 x64 2016 11 05 18 01 52 06
Working at public relations will give you a more serious approach as you represent other Sims and start PR campaigns to help with their careers. You also unlock the ability to persuade other Sims to do all sorts of crazy things!
Art Critics have the ability to praise and study art, while food critics can give food reviews. What’s great about the Food Critic branch is that Sims can visit restaurants with The Sims 4 Dine Out and use the same interactions unlocked with the career for their Dine Out experience!
The Politics career offers two branches as well: Charity Organizer and Politician. As a charity organizer you’ll spend most of your time asking for donations from other Sims and explaining the cause your Sim stands for. Meanwhile politicians are more about giving out the right speeches and ensuring they get the votes.

If there’s anything that’s been done 100% right in The Sims 4 City Living, it’s these careers. Compared to careers from the base game these offer a lot more variety and interactions that will keep you entertained for hours.
Integration with The Sims 4 Packs
The Sims 4 City Living mainly revolves around San Myshuno so most of the new features that City Living brings are sadly exclusive to this world. Apartments, Festivals and even careers require you to load up San Myshuno. However, there are some minor things that work well with other packs…
Plenty of new recipes for your Restaurant (Dine Out Required)
Want to open up a Sushi Restaurant? The Sims 4 City Living offers over 30 new recipes that you can implement into a restaurant.
A club that’s obsessed with playing basketball or a club that likes to spend their nights at karaoke bars? If you have The Sims 4 Get Together you can do all of that!

Final Thoughts
The Sims 4 City Living Expansion Pack brings a ton of content but doesn’t go too deep into expanding the overall game-play of The Sims 4. If you’re familiar with The Sims 4 Outdoor Retreat Game Pack, well, City Living is just like that but only with a lot more objects and interactions. Like I wrote in September, ”Instead of actually expanding the game, The Sims 4 City Living seems like it’s only adding stuff to it.”
This Expansion Pack is still very fun but during my play sessions I found myself plenty of times saying ”Well they could’ve improved that” , ”Would it hurt if they added a few more apartments” , ”Look at that awesome view – too bad I can’t send my Sim there…”
If you play The Sims 4 for building purposes or just like to customize your living environment to your taste, The Sims 4 City Living may only be worth it for the amount and quality of objects you get. However, I’m not a very creative person when it comes to building and so I enjoyed playing with what I was given. Sure, a lot of things can be improved and added but from what I’ve played in City Living, I’d say it’s worth the $40 price.
Looks like the developers forgot to leave out the actual names of innocent juice flavors added in The Sims 4 City Living’s bubble blower, also known as a hookah.
The bubble blower will give you 8 juice flavors to choose from.
Now, they may all look innocent with these snazzy names but, once you install the Debug Enabler Modwhich unlocks certain interactions added by the developers you’ll be surprised which option they included with this object.
By pressing the shift key + left clicking the bubble blower you’ll be able to change the cartridge type for this object, letting you select actual noble gases instead of juice flavors.
So, instead of vaping innocent little bubbles with the snow flurries taste, your Sim will be vaping the sulfur gas which is actually really bad for lungs.
Try not to get your Sims high…erm..I mean juiced with all these gases.
If you’ve played The Sims 4 City Living for more than 1 Sim day then your Sim has probably made some acquitances/friends around the town. The more Sims you know the better odds are of getting the following message on your phone:
Your Sims will be able to kill off their free time by going to certain ”rabbit hole” events around the town such as the opera, circus and an underground concert.
If you choose to go to such events, you’ll be asked again around the prompted time you got in the first message asking if you want to go:
Depending on your Sim these events will have a certain impact on their mood:
I wanted to give you a small update and let you know that our The Sims 4 City Living Review is currently in progress. So far I’m really enjoying the game and am still finding out new things about it every minute.

Down below you’ll see a list of all the new Lot Traits and what they do:
Chef’s Kitchen – Food prepared in this kitchen just seems to taste better and usually comes out better quality.
Quake Zone – Occasionally there’s a minor tremor here. Probably nothing to worry about…
Good Schools – The local school is great! Kids seem to get high grades and usually do better at homework.

Cursed – Lots of things seem to go wrong in this Apartment.
Grody – Sims have a chance to get nauseous when eating, drinking or using the bathroom.
Gremlins – Stuff breaks here a lot. It’s like there are tiny goblins who come out at night and smash things…but that’s ridiculous, right?
Penny Pixies – Sims often find loose change around the place. It’s like there’s a secret money fairy or something.
Party Place – Parties just seem to go well at this place! Meeting Social Event goals becomes much easier.
Filthy – From clogged sewers to grimy counters, this place seems to get dirty really quickly.
Haunted – Locals say this place is haunted. Pah! What do they know?
Romantic Aura – Romantic Aura makes it easier to get other people in the mood for LURVE!
Great Soil – Gardening just seems to go really well here.
Child’s Play – Kids just seem to learn faster here.

On Ley Line – Full of funky fertile earth energy, twins are born here more often than not.
Lively Neighbors (Locked) – The neighbords live life to the max. There’s often a party going on.
Needs TLC (Locked) – A great place to practice your Handiness skills!
Historical (Locked) – The Landlord has one rule – the Inspirational plaque dedicated to a famous historical resident can never be removed or sold.
Quiet (Locked) – Maybe it’s the insulation or maybe the neighbors are very polite. Either way, it’s never noisy here.
Serviced Apartment (Locked) – The rent for this apartment includes maid service.
Great View (Locked) – The beautiful views are sure to lift anyone’s spirits.
Romantic Fireplace (Locked) – A flirty vibe radiates from the beautiful fireplace in this apartment. The Landlord won’t allow this fireplace to be removed or sold.
Some of the descriptions provided by The Sims Team don’t really tell or explain what a certain Lot Trait can do. Therefore, we explained some of the most interesting Lot Traits down below!
Quake Zone
Earthquakes will happen every so often on your lot, causing the game camera to shake along with some sound effects. Sims will react negatively to it, getting a +2 Tense moodlet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX7pjRAgR54
Cursed
Try not to fix broken things or expose your Sim to death too much. This trait makes it more easy for your Sim to die of a certain death.
Grody
Eating, drinking or using bathroom objects on a grody lot will make your Sim uncomfortable – sometimes very uncomfortable!
Gremlins
Sometimes gremlins will break every breakable objects on your lot after midnight!
Penny Pixies
Using everyday objects can result in your Sim finding some simoleons. Keep changing seats, opening your fridge and simply using objects more frequently for better chances at finding simoleons.
Haunted
Random ghosts will invite themselves over to your lot. They usually appear at midnight and disappear after a few hours.
Gnomes
If you leave broken stuff around the lot, there’s a chance that gnomes will fix them during the night!
Lively Neighbors (Locked Trait)
Think you’ve seen it all? Apartments with the lively neighbors trait create all sorts of noises and situations. You either learn to go with the flow or stress about it every now and then!

11 03 16 9 04 56 PM
Needs TLC (Locked Trait)
These apartments are dirty and broken with a purpose of staying that way. The water pipes and utility boxes often break, leaving a mess in your bathroom and your apartment without electricity. Also, watch out for mice!
11 03 16 9 21 11 PM
11 03 16 9 23 28 PM
Historical
These apartments come with a certain objects that mean a lot to the landlord or to the city council. These objects cannot be removed!
Romantic Fireplace
When lit, this fireplace lights up in pink color triggering the flirty emotional state to any Sim nearby. This fireplace cannot be moved, sold or bought in build mode.
The Sims 4 City Living offers a couple of new Traits and an Aspiration!
Traits
Excluding the Vegetarian and Unflirty traits that you can select in Create-A-Sim, other traits can be obtained through gameplay, mostly by trying out things around the city or completing the City Native aspiration.
Unflirty
These Sims get Tense around Flirty Sims and seldom get Flirty themselves. It’s difficult for them to be Romantic in public.
Unflirty Sims have a hard way of flirting with other Sims. The flirty section will show flirty interactions that promise a high chance of failing:
Unflirty Sims don’t like when other Sims try to flirt will them and such attempts will make them embarrased:
You’ll go through plenty of trial and error to unlock the romantic relationship bar. The best way to make your Sim successful in flirting is to get him/her into the Flirty emotional state.
Vegetarian
These Sims will actively avoid eating foods that contain meat products and can become sick if they eat such foods.
Vegetarians are not supposed to eat meat and will be put in a Sad emotional state if they do so:
After the sad emotional phase is over, your Sims will become very uncomfortable for an hour and a half for being tainted with meat.
TIP: To find out which meal is vegetarian-friendly, simply hover over the food dish / recipe.
Home Turf (From Choosing a City Native Aspiration)
These Sims become Happy when they are in their home neighborhood.
In the Know (City Native Aspiration Reward)
Sims who are In the Know can get a massive discount on market stall purchases if they Haggle with vendors.
You can use your In the Know discount by clicking on a market stall and selecting the In the Know Discount interaction. This will make any product from the stall a lot more cheaper!

Spice Hound (Reward for eating Spicy Food)
Spice Hounds never find any food too Spicy, and feel Happy for hours after eating a Spicy Meal.
Sims will react negatively at first for eating spicy food, but after eating around 5-6 spicy food meals, they’ll unlock this trait and will feel comfortable eating any type of spicy food.
Chopstic Savvy (Rewards for using Chopstics)
From slippery noodles to tiny peas, these Sims have mastered the art of eating with Chopstics.

Leveraging their status in the art world, Critically Connected Sims receive a 20% rebate on all Art purchased in Build Mode each week. Rebates will be applied directly to Household Funds.

The Sims 4 City Living comes with a brand new world called San Myshuno! This world draws inspiration from two famous areas/cities: San Francisco and Tokyo. You can check how this world came to life HERE!
Down below is the map of San Myshuno. It’s seperated into 5 neighborhoods/districts:
Spice Market
Fashion District
Uptown
Arts Quarter
Myshuno Meadows area
Down below you’ll see an interactive overview of each neighborhood individually. Each area of a certain neighborhood will have a pulsing Plumbob that will show an image of that area after being hovered. Please note that this works best on desktop and laptop-sized computer screens.
