  • Hey! This is a brief comparison of Apartments in The Sims now that For Rent updated them. I thought I'd experiment with voicing this one because it was too much text and it's something I've been meaning to explore, I'm already regretting it and wanted to just scrap it but I've done that before and it's time to actually try something different. Fun fact: I started this video over 2 years ago and thankfully I kept the footage this long, that's why Anne has long hair. I ended up refilming most of it but I'm glad I didn't release it cause I'd be repeating myself all over again.
    I just want to remind you that Sims 4 took 2 expansion packs to get here, meanwhile, other games took just 1 expansion and said expansion introduced an occult (both lost to Sims 4's version but I think it's worth mentioning) a tiny part of me hoped Sims 4 would follow this trend and reintroduce Zombies but we're still as zombieless as we were back in 2014 :( oh well, anyways!
    Which apartments do you prefer?
    My opinion?
    Sims 2 was the first and it did a great job, crazy how they could handle neighbors without the loading screens huh? I also like how much more useful the landlord is and how the neighbors are always going around so it never feels empty.
    Sims 3 introduced a huge world and it was expected that such a big place couldn't handle complex apartments, these are the penthouse style and I think it's cool that you can actually live in the tallest buildings even if it's just a shell. But it lacks a lot of the things that make apartments apartments, there's no landlord, there's no sense of community, hell, there's no help at all! I do like the elevators tho, best version yet.
    Sims 4 is very nice but the fact that it took 2 expansions to get there kind sours it for me. Don't get me wrong, I love how much better For Rent handled the landlord and the neighbors in particular. I like the new death too. I just wish all of that had been included in city living. But it's objectively improved.
    So for me it's a tie between Sims 2 and 4, 2 for doing the best in one try and 4 for polishing it even to it took a second try.
    But those are just my thoughts, how about you? Let me know what you think of voicing this one, everything in me is telling me to drop this format but I thought I needed external feedback so let me know what you think. Happy holidays to everyone who celebrates! If you don't, I hope you're still having a great time, thank you for reading this and I'll see you on the next one.

    I loved that The sims 3 introduced elevators and high rise/penthouses etc, but I think TS2 wins for me solely because it allowed for shared spaces, you could visit your neighbors (and without loading screens) and the system just seemed really thought out.

    While Sims 3 lacked a lot on the apartment side, I think it's worth remembering that apartments were an addition to a pack that was based on nightlife and the celebrity system. It wasn't the main focus of the expansion packs, such as Apartment Life or City Living/For Rent

      I 100% agree! Every single expansion pack in Sims 3 had like dozens of new features, so apartments were like a gift from EA to us in Late Night. Okay, I wish they would had made them more realistic and interactive , but at least you could use cheats to edit your apartments outside the limits.

    I actually like how Sims 2 landlords differ from Sims 4 landlords (not property owners). The sims 2 one does stuff like fixing, but also lends a community aspect such as organizing the get together for tenants - however they're also aggressive at chasing you for rent. meanwhile the sims 4 one is purely utilitarian (fixing stuff mostly, no community aspect) but is passive aggressive / throws shade at you for not paying rent.

    Even though the For Rent pack is all about apartments, I think it does this pretty badly. At first I thought multifamily lots would make the game more lively, but it didn't. Because 2 or 3 sims go into shared areas and I think the whole point of this pack is shared areas. They do not interact with any objects other than base game objects and do not have autonomy cross pack compability. You have to wait for the loading screen when going to your neighbor, and when you become a landlord, it is very annoying to constantly wait for the loading screen because you have to go to the sims' apartments. Even though Apartment Life was released in 2008, the pack don't have a loading screen to go to your neighbor, and with the current technology in 2023, a much better solution could definitely be found than loading screens, but it seems that it was easier to take the apartment system in City Living as it is and add it to for rent. There is also a social status system in the Sims 2 and your neighbors can change accordingly, but there is no such thing in the Sims 4. In Sims 3, apartments are actually normal lots and only have apartment shell set dressings. However, since it was an open world game and Late Night was a very large pack, I didn't mind it at the time. Bridgeport is a city that looks very beautiful, especially at night. San Myshuno is a very cardboard city. And although I think the Sims 4 has better graphics in interior areas, I think it lags behind the Sims 3 in terms of environmental design and environmental graphics.

      Yes, as much as I love Sims 2, Sims 3 Bridgeport felt like NYC and with an open world, it's an amazing space to live and work with no loading screens. I love watching my Sim travel and if a firefighter, drive around the City fighting fires. In Sims 2, it may not be an open world like 3, but you still interact with others in the hallways and common areas with no loading screens like a true "apartment life", IRL. Sims 4 breaks immersion constantly.

    Couple of things for Sims 2: 1) You can also use the computer to find a roommate. 2) If there is a grill on the apartment lot, the landlord could grill for the weekend party. Also, the babysitting requests (to apartment neighbors) can be made if you just want to go out on the town, while at work or even a full vacation (they can even be asked to pet sit too). As of yet, no other mainline sims has this feature. In addition, Sims 2 apartments can be as minimal as trailer parks and flop houses (University), or as luxurious as Townhouses and high-rises with penthouse apartments. Plus, the cross pack compatibility just enhances all of this, as you could build luxurious hotels in all your neighborhoods (Bon Voyage), Rental Row Houses, Lobby Restaurants and Clothing Stores (Night Life and OFB), and can place bowling alleys (NL), ice/roller rinks (Seasons), DJ Booths (NL/FT), photo booths (NL), etc. all in common areas. For a nearly 20 year old game, to simply state that versatility of Sims 2 surpasses all the mainline Sims games is an understatement. With mods and CC, Sims 2 looks better than Sims 4, is more optimized than Sims 3 and can replicate either of them on every front. The Sims was the most groundbreaking game, and Sims 2 enhanced nearly every aspect. Sims 2 has the best gameplay, animations, physics, details, cutscenes (the only one of the mainline Sims games to have them), personalities, Lore, event scenarios, and the list goes on... Now that competition is around the corner, Sims 4 is still not making enough of an effort to win back its Sim Veterans; it has long lost its title of "Life Simulator," but rather has further cemented its footing as just an overpriced "DLC Simulator" (Even to have all the features that apartment living has to offer, you need at least 3 of the packs, plus more if you want the features added in with Sims 2 Apartment Life or Sims 3 Late Night).

    Despite the loading screens in Sims 4, I have to say I've really been enjoying the open ended flexibility of the rental system in For Rent. I very much enjoy how rental units can be anything, be it apartments, town houses, a room for rent and so on. I've always been a fan of lot traits and challenges for the added dynamics and household maintenance gameplay they introduce, as well as expand the types of environments your sims can live in be it gross and run down to more high end and luxurious. I also have to say in combination with features like clubs, NAPs and eco footprints, the sense of an active community really comes to life in a way that brings me so much joy.

    @TheSimsTutorialsEg Před 6 měsíci +24

    Great overview as always. Though some corrections I have to make:
    Roommates come from The Sims 3 University Life and The Sims 4 Discover University. I could almost say that The Sims 2 is the only game where apartments and roommates come from the same pack, but there is one thing you forgot to mention: The Sims 3 University Life also brings apartment lot type to the game (though the only way to see it is by changing lot type in Edit World mode). Though these are more of dorms in home world... The Sims 4 roommates seem to move out randomly, but when they do, you have some time to convince them if your sim has some Research & Debate skill. Plus roommates have unique quirks: some leave notes, some bring food, some may even upgrade your objects.
    The Sims 2 also have bills and rent separate. Missing rent for 3 days causes it to be added to the bills. Missing bills causes the repo-man to arrive. The Sims 4 For Rent has another thing that can happen (especially if they have broken unit rules or missed rent before): eviction. Should this happen, your sim is given time to pack up their things. During that time, sims can convince property owner to give them a second chance. But after the event, you'll be taken to Manage Worlds where you'll have to pick a new home for your sims. You can move them back into the unit they were evicted from however.
    Oh, and grace period thing in TS4 For Rent: after set amount of days (usually 7), your sims go into a Grace Period. For tenants, it means that they can move out without needing to pay extra. For property owners, it means that they can change the rent without any consequences.
    And also, landlords in City Living have more gameplay when your sim lives in an apartment with Needs TLC trait: broken pipes, electrical box, mice, insect infestation, and weird odor also allows you to call landlord over. In addition to rent, low relationship can also prevent the landlord from coming.
    Plus with City Living, traits neighbors have can also affect how they act. For example, Goofball and Erratic sims may barge in uninvited from time to time, Romantic sims may come over to take a shower, sims who hates children may complain about noise if there are children playing etc.
    One interesting thing to also mention is how it is to build an apartment from scratch. My overview here is so:
    The Sims 2: Start from Residential lot, use Unique Separator door (make sure that the side with mat is located outside the unit). Then make sure that every room accessible from the door is fully walled off with walls and fences. After you are done, open the cheat console with Control+Shift+C and type in 'changelotzoning apartmentbase' there. If a notification pops up, revert it back to residential and make changes. Otherwise, you got your own custom apartment!
    The Sims 3: Choose a Residential type lot (Residential or University Life's apartment). You need to enter these cheats: 'testingcheatsenabled true', 'buydebug on', and 'restrictbuildbuyinbuildings off'. You mostly need to use markers from debug category: with 'Public room marker' you mark common areas you can't build in (outdoors don't need one as it is automatically restricted), with 'Hidden room marker' you mark other sims' units (plus control-shift-clicking on the marker also allows you to set the ambiance sound), and doors between hidden rooms and public rooms can be marked as an NPC door with control-shift-clicking on it and choosing the interaction to make it so (it'll house 1 townie).
    The Sims 4: With For Rent, simply use the tools Residential Rental lot type provides: mark units by clicking on rooms, set the lot traits for each unit from lot info panel etc. If you want to make more than 6 units, you can use this cheat: 'increaserentalunitcap on'. Though do remember that one save file can have only up to 100 units. When a sim owns the lot, you can set the rent, lease length, and unit rules.

    Apartments really suck in the Sims 3 mostly because you cannot choose what apartment your sims will move in and you cannot visit your neighbours within the apartment. If the Sims 4 didn’t have the loading screens when visiting neighbours apartments on the same lot and have functional elevators like it’s predecessors then the Sims 4 would’ve won as the Sims 4 really did good at everything else. The Sims 2 really wins this round as you can visit neighbours apartments without loading screens and you can choose your apartment unlike sims 3 even though you can choose your apartments in the sims 4 too.

    Good for you to trying something new with doing a voice over! Even if it's something you don't stick with in future videos, I'm glad you felt confident enough to even try! As for which game did the best... I think it's hard to choose between 2 and 4. I always enjoy making an apartment lot in 2, and I believe I will also in 4, but I haven't gotten For Rent yet. That also means I personally don't know how I feel yet on the added mechanics, but I think it's nice that it has been expanded more. I do have fun with the TLC apartments in City Living, as you do see the landlord more if you need them to solve those problems for you! I think if I remember correctly that if you call over the landlord too much or maybe have a bad relationship with them that they sometimes won't come, but I could be wrong 😅 Great job on the video!

      @barbiquearea Před 6 měsíci +2

      I agree. Late Night had a lot of potential for apartment gameplay. If only the devs filled out all the penthouses with additional apartments instead of leaving like 60% of the entire first floor as dead space. That way they could have given you the potential to have roommates or tenants in a future pack, such as University Life.

      @TheEtherny Před 6 měsíci

      I remember the hype going around late night but people started resenting how empty lots were and how slow it ran. Sims 3 is full of good ideas with bad executions, Sims 4 is full of safe ideas that end up being broken, so I'll take Sims 3 approach any day

    I've always loved your videos and I was a bit sad that I wasn't able to multitask with them (I usually put a video on my phone to listen to while I cook/clean/draw). And I personally enjoy hearing your voice! I specially like the accent, cadence and the pauses that let my brain rest for a second or two. So I really like the new voice over!!

    I like the voice acting, I usually watch the videos at 2x speed, so sometimes the text goes by too quickly for me to read and still see what’s happening, so the voice being there lets me focus on the footage only.

  • @ThieflyChap
    @ThieflyChap Před 6 měsíci +47

    Yup, Sims 2 is the clear winner for this one. They feel more like real life.
    Sims 4 actually seems to have done a good job.
    Sims 3 is the clear loser. They're really not much different to buying a regular place, although I will admit I didn't know about the roommate feature.
    Did that come with Late Night or was that added later?
    Edit: A pleasant surprise to hear your voice in this one. Keep it up and you'll start sounding more confident.

      I have no idea when roommates were added tbh. There's many features that I never tried even tho I was actively playing, but I see it was patch 1.50. And thank you! I've been adding voiceovers ever since pets, but I always thought it was best to hear the actual sim sounds. Maybe later I'll find a nice balance.

    Also The Sims 2 is definitely fav. I also like how you can just break in somebody's house in The Sims 4 like that isn't a crime at all.
