I created 100 apartments on one lot...

[@selkiefluff]

There's something incredible about the fact the game can handle 100 apartments better than 100 mini goats or chickens, or just a labirynth shaped fence.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

I am sure what it can handle is also dependent on the system running the game. Also 100 sims aren’t always active, they can disappear into units, where 100 mini sheep active at the same time are concurrently being simulated.

They said on the livestream that the limit was 99 per save and then later said 100. I think it's 99 for the lot and 100 for the save. The reason you cannot put all 100 on the same lot is that the unit number is hard coded for 2 digits visually. It would require the UI to grow in order to display correctly. They probably didn't bother because who would make over 99 on one lot? 🤣

I got an idea as soon as you explained that the whole world is empty and every single sim is living in your lot…..giant fallout bunker 👀 It would be really funny to build an underground, completely closed shelter to house a bunch of sims. Have a hydroponic garden, big community kitchen, arts and activities…they can just never leave because there is a nuclear winter outside. Or at least that’s what they have been told…. 😈

[@Nebulousart]

like the silo from that new show! this is actually such a genius idea that i wanna write a sims story for it-is that okay with you?

[@mollymcintosh2090]

what an amazing idea!!

[@katanah3195]

I love that idea! There's several challenges on the forums with that theme, so this would be a neat way to do it, and with the ability to set rooms that aren't connected as the same unit, you could make the main shelter doors part of your unit as the landlord so no one can get out, and with each unit being a whole household you could make quarters for whole families and fit the iconic NPCs with room left for some of your own families... with all the expansion worlds, you'd get to play overseer and determine who gets quarters in the shelter and who gets deleted, and allocate enough beds, toddler beds, and cribs to each family - don't want to waste space putting a household in too many rooms, also need everyone to have enough beds and facilities for little ones, and households under 8 people need a crib and toddler bed in case, and families from the Cats and Dogs world will need items for pets... sounds tedious to most Sims players but just like the management games I played as a kid. Add to that rules common to these challenges about getting everything you need internally because you can't just order stuff, and public spaces a large apt building wouldn't have but you need in a fallout shelter... would still need a solution to kids and teens' school needs, but there are indepth "homeschool" mods as well as somewhere out there a work from home option for high school and elementary school based on the system from City Living, so those could be used, along with a public classroom space containing child items and computer desks for completing the requirements... would probably set the rent on each unit to just enough to cover the taxes so the system produces a net zero for the "landlord"/overseer, really great idea for turning Sims into apocalypse vibes resource management, more so than any earlier version could. Hmm, maybe I should start building the lot for that in my game...

[@thisisnotthechannelyourelo407]

I think they need to keep tweaking this. They complain about conditions but there's literally nothing wrong, it's not gameplay, it's just a random event that you clear up by doing the interaction. There isn't a "this unit is bad because we needed this many beds" or "we need this item with a certain upgrade" or "I can't stand living with pests!" or anything of substance where you actually have to put effort into resolving the issue.

Should do 4 levels above ground, 4 basement levels, each with units, and on each basement level you have a center courtyard that is open to the above-ground (also open through all upper 4 floors) for a garden. I think that'd be cool and unique. Yet to see anyone do it.

I would love to hear more about what belongs to the tenants and how much you can decorate. Does just the box belong to the landlord? Can a tenant repaint and refurnish? If you move your sim into a rental can they bring their own furniture?

[@janecampbell4662]

Also- can you rent an apartment and own a home at the same time? Like the Landgrabbs, can they still own their home while renting their apartments?

[@moonlitxangel5771]

@@janecampbell4662 On the last one, it's doubtful. So far Sims 4 doesn't have a way to own two homes unless you use mods and while apartments aren't a home per se it's still somewhere that they're living. Now an OWNER can own multiple apartment buildings and then live off lot just like you can own multiple businesses. I think modders will be able to make it happen (SimRealist was already doing it with RE) but I don't think that'll be a base game feature.

[@moonlitxangel5771]

As an aside, modders can do it because they have the time to dedicate to things like that and they aren't messing with the source code like the devs are. It does make a difference.
