Almost every night, our Sims leapt out of bed at 2am complaining about the noise, before seemingly winding themselves up so much, they refused to go back to bed. Our little apartment in the Spice Market area of town saw us living next to a chef called Raj and his mother - and boy, were they noisy at night. Depending on who you have the (mis)fortune of living next to, noise levels may quickly become one of your biggest problems, as we soon discovered. Part and parcel of the new closer-quarters living arrangements is the potential for all sorts of easier interaction with your neighbours, now with nothing but a thin connecting wall or a small hallway separating you. You might even find yourself sharing your apartment with some unwelcome guests!
Should you be so inclined, you can also make your own flat, and give it both the Gremlins and Gnomes effects, before sitting back to watch them wage war over your appliances in the dead of night. Even the aforementioned Gremlins have a good guy alternative - the Gnomes, who'll fix all your broken stuff while you sleep. Other lot traits include having good schools nearby, an increased likelihood of having twins (which will likely fill you with dread if you've played The Sims before) and a slightly spooky sounding haunted apartment. You'll want to fix it all ASAP too, because the sheer depths of depression one Sim can reach just by sitting in a kitchen with a busted stereo is somewhat surprising. Fortunately, we've now become a dab hand at barely-awake toilet fixing, grabbing some orange juice on the way past the fridge, and making a mental list of everything we need to fix later.
#Sims 4 city living expansion full#
For example, our apartment, 17 Culpepper House in the (cheapo) Spice Market Quarter apparently has 'Gremlins' - and whilst we've never actually seen the bothersome green beings, we do sometimes wake up to an entire apartment full of broken electrical goods, or some well and truly bost plumbing, which can make the morning pre-work routine a little bit complicated. With the size of your home being somewhat limited, all you can really do with your apartment is tweak your internal walls and furniture, with no scope for extensions.Īn interesting touch is that each flat now comes with it's own set of 'lot traits' - a bunch of random effects that are exclusive to the apartment in question, some of which are good, and others of which are. As in real life, seemingly renting is the new buying, and while the initial outlay may be less than buying your own home, living in an apartment does kind of scupper your ability to expand. In City Living, that's all changed, and now your Sims get to move straight into a ready-made flat at the bargain price of a couple of hundred Simoleons - a week. All your expenditure would be over and done with in the space of just a few clicks, with any cash you brought home from your job either being used to pay off the odd bill, or put on one side to save up for that most-wanted extension. Previously, when you moved a new family into your neighbourhood, you'd pay a large, flat-out sum for a plot of land/house, and by and large, that would be it. colourful town.Īs the name suggests, City Living is all about moving your Sims out of the quiet suburbs and into the bustling city - and that can mean only one thing.
