I don't think the mold death is insensitive, at least no more than other deaths in game. People drown, starve, etc. in real life too.

Everyone loves the apartments but I just wanna build a dirty trailer park and steal everyone's gossip and be the pot stirrer. Can you imagine all the drama you could do? Like we need more messy chaos in the sims 4

Ppl do die from mold but ppl also die from vending machine, old age, food poisoning (like bad puffer fish), drowning etc. So i don't think having a mold death is weird or insensitive at all...

Im glad they added the mold death and ability to be an evil or good landlord. Chaos is what makes the sims 4 fun for me.

I am SO READY for the cringe trait. Can finally make myself in the game.

I don't think the mold death is so bad, considering people die from fire, starvation, drowning, etc in real life too. People also get their homes broken into and robbed irl and burglars are a beloved sims feature

I am also really excited to have "separate" families because I also want to only play as 1-2 sims. I want them around but I don't want to play as every single Sim. It will also be really helpful if you want a ton of pets but also want a larger family.

My main worry is that the world will be really empty because most of the footage for the world is of the market with only a few other things hinted at in the background

I think this pack complements city living more than replacing it. For Rent focuses on smaller multifamily housing while City Living is more about high-rise living in a dense city. I like that there are two very different takes on housing and cities between the two packs. I was always worried there'd only ever be one "city" world and the rest would be American suburbia, so this is refreshing to see.

The mold infections made me think of Strangerville. Both have spores that release into the air and infect Sims, except one is deadly and one isn't

I saw "animal sanctuary" and assumed it meant "wildlife refuge" like your sims could visit and take pictures of wild animals. I hadn't considered that someone else might think "animal shelter" as in pet adoption.

We need a burglar update for base game that has more features if you have For Rent, I really hope they listen to the sims community before release on this one

I wonder if someone is gonna use this pack to make a hotel mod

So glad to see Matthew Lillard finally getting the recognition he deserves in pop culture!

I have very real worries this will be broken on release but would love to be wrong 🙈

Funny how mold deaths are too real but burglary isn’t haha

I wonder how well this will mesh with packs like laundry day. I wanna know if I can make a communal laundry room or cafe type areas

I know some won't find this pack significant but to me, I'm SO excited for this as it covers South East Asian culture. The night market is usually a market for us to get or sell food. Asian night market!!! I'm excited for that AND ALSO THE GLORY PLASTIC CHAIR, BABY. LET'S GOOOO

I'm assuming, considering its a thai inspired world, that the animal sanctuary is meant to be a reference to the elephant sanctuaries there - as oppose to it being related to pets - not that i really understand how that would work in the sims either

i like having more "realistic" death types i would actually want more

I think the animal sanctuary is just a rabbit hole where they can interact with birds and stuff

The mold death animation is just more "gross" than I think most TS4 players are used to. The closest analogue is the Strangerville parasite infection, and that game pack was not very popular as far as I know. It's obvious that the inspiration isn't real life mold death-- It's The Last of Us (which makes sense. When the show was big, this was in development). It's not that the game is "insensitive" or "immoral", it's that it's kind of yucky, and spooks a vocal minority players. Disgust is not the same thing as immorality.

I understand the reasoning that multi family lots should’ve been introduced in city living. I also feel though that at that time EA wouldn’t have been able to pull it off and do it correctly. Not to say that current EA will do things correctly… *cough cough* My wedding stories

i really wish they'd add a burglars to the base game

"This should've been in city living" that pack came out 6 years ago. i think its OK that they're adding more city things

this pack is actually getting me back into the game, im so excited for it because itll affect everything. i mean, you can basically have 6x the families in a single world now LOL (cause 6x units on a lot, without cheats, more with.) also ill have to agree with others imo that the mold death is totally fine considering sims can literally burn alive and drown etc (which is kinda graphic hahah). its just a "slower" keeler than the others which may feel "different" from the usual things? (maybe thats why it feels a bit more "real", initially!)

if i cant taze a home intruder and they are like vampires and you have to just watch them steal ima be pissed

I am so excited for the may possibilities of multiple units on the same lot outside of apartments. I think seeing this as JUST apartments and just "city" life is limiting the potential of this pack. You can have two disconnected homes for two separate sim families on the same lot. When mom and dad age into elder, they could have a little house off to the side while the child or children with growing families inherrit the main house. You can have town houses or disconnected houses that just share a larger lot. No more single sims or small families taking up a whole large lot just for themselves, unless you want that. The flexibility of this lot type is as big or as small as your imagination. Even in horse ranch, you could play an up and coming rancher renting a small cabin on a larger piece of land from the big rancher. One of my latest ideas is a small tiny house village in sulani with common area bathrooms and cooking. I am so excited to come up with ideas where Sims share a lot that aren't traditional apartments. I don't know why the clock is confusing, it's not a countdown it's an actual 24 hour clock showing how often the lanlords day is interrupted by managing tenants. Also, as a person who's mom actually did get sick from mold in low quality housing, I actually am not offended. The mold death in Sims is so unrealistic and cartoony, it's not something I connect to actual IRL. And all you have to do for it not to happen is clean up and be a good landlord. Unlike all the many stupid deaths in sims. Like I love the Murphy bed with tiny living. I don't think people get the point of a murphy bed, even in real life, is to clear up more floor space during the day, not to take up less space then the bed. You need to be able to pull the bed down every night. Things can't be in the way of the bed coming down at night, but you can clear a path to the table during the day that it is okay to block at night when you are asleep. But I am scared a stupid murphy bed death will happen "just cause" making me reluctant to use it as much as I would like to in buiids.

Maybe the mold death is gonna be good for awareness? Some people might not know its as dangerous as it can be

As someone who grew up in Southeast Asia the Southeast Asian (mostly Thai, but there seems to be some colonial-era shop lots like the ones you see in Singapore and Malaysia in the night market area) vibes are IMPECCABLE. A Southeast Asia-inspired pack was the very last thing I expected The Sims team would ever make, but here we are!! I’m so excited to see more of the pack!!!!

I think the "animal sanctuary" is going to be like a zoo, not adoptable pets. Where I live we have sanctuaries for wild animals that were injured and being rehabilitated, and some animals who can't be released stay on as "ambassador" animals.

Good to know jesse is diving into the rabbit hole that is FNAF lore

The tiger plushie is the item I’m most excited for for whatever reason LMAO. it looks adorable, obviously it’s interactive bc you can see a toddler hitting it like it’s a blarffy, and my fav animal is a tiger. There are no tiger items in the game (from what I’ve found)!

Babes don't forget we can make terrace streets now!!!!!! UP THE MILL TOWNS

a new plumbella video, depression cancelled

didn't the sims 3 literally have the possibility of a whole school of children to die from a meteor????? why are people upset about mold death when that exists in a game 😭😭😭

You can play both as a landlord or tenant. We can have up to 6 households on one lot by default (bit there will be a cheat to change/remove this limitation). While I agree on one hand that this would have been a better feature in City Living... on the other, the game was running on 32-bit at the time and I'd argue it was even less optimised than it is now behind the scenes. I don't think the game or the team was ready to add this feature in For Rent. City Living and For Rent are also going for different vibes and themes, and the apartments in CL have separate lots behind loading screens as flats, while the new lot type offers home with no loading screens in-between, like in Sims 2. They also confirmed we can basically pre-build multi-household lots now and easily set up the boundaries once the pack drops. So long the pack will otherwise be wort the EP price tag, this could actually be a pretty decent pack - and I have no problem endorsing 🏴‍☠️ EA games lol

my understanding of the "animal sanctuary" is that it will be a rabbit hole situation... I don't think that there will be any actual animals that you can see otherwise they would have shown that in the trailer... they did show a woman holding a badge with a paw print on it which suggests that they were maybe a "protector" or "officer" for the animal sanctuary area, but that's really all that they showed in the trailer about it... seems out-of-place to me with this pack but if animal sanctuaries are more common in locations like Thailand (which I don't know) then it would make more sense...

I’ve been waiting for your first impressions of this pack because I thought that you’d be more excited about the kettle! 😭😭😭

I wonder if you can combine residential rentals with vacation lots to make hotels. Even if it's effectively self catering, that would be really cool. You could build over one of the penthouses from San Myshuno and pretend the entire building is a massive hotel.

Glad u had a lovely time away for was it 2 and a half weeks? Hope ur sister is ok and all is sorted soon! Cant wait to see the gameplay! Ur amazing and love u so so much!! Literally seeing u have posted automatically brings a smile to my face! All the best xx

Plumbella's chaotic energy keeos me thriving

The way you described the camera angle in city living was spot on

The matthew lilliard bits omfg me too henny me too

Ahh now this is the video I've been waiting for, I kept wondering why we hadn't seen a video from you about For Rent yet, now I know, well I hope you had lots of fun where you went!

cant wait for you build the attached townhouses again, but this time functional :D

I always wait to watch new trailers with you!

You know what, bring back the burglars/robbers! That whole sequence that played when he popped up made the game interesting to play.

totally unrelated but you are so valid for loving Matthew Lillard (the guy who plays Shaggy)

Love to see it! Sending love to u & family too, its so good to hear little updates :)

🍄I really like the mold death being added! It is one of the big reasons I am considering buying it. I love everything to do with mushrooms, even though sometimes they have tried to unalive me! I had a bad mold problem under my trailer and had to move out for a few months while it got treated. Turned out we had a pipe leaking. I only noticed it cause I had a death cap mushroom pop up INSIDE my house. That was not fun but I still don't take offense to this, totally not insensitive to me.

0:46 cat SPOTTED! I've got mixed feelings about the pack, but definitely looking forward to builds.

Oh also that multi family lot trait is gonna be so swell for royalty playthroughs as well!

“all around the towns and everything” 😂 I really hope that was intended as the quote I think it was. Iconic

I assume the animal sanctuary is like a zoo. That's kind of what they are irl, an area where the animals are protected.

Welcome back baba I missed you ❤ I love you ❤

I never skip your intros, regardless of how long they are ❤

0:17 love that quote, my partner and I use that quote too 😂 love your energy as always 🤗

just as you post this they announce the gameplay trailer

it's good to see you back! im gonna be real honest, i'm glad we didn't get this specific multi-unit building in city living. i truly do not think they'd have done it well if it had been implemented so early into ts4's life, and the way we seem to be able to build homes with this feel distinct enough from the shells that it doesn't feel like we're being ripped off etc. they could have goofed it massively but from my personal first impressions, i don't think they have. (it's also worth noting that TS4's roadmap probably wasn't intending to go on for nearly a decade when city living came out - if the game had continued w the 4-5 year cycle we'd be coming to the end of the sims FIVE's life right now, and i think this context is always important when we look at the way the devs are trying to revisit concepts we arguably already have in ts4) i will say though it would be interesting if they went back and edited city living's shells so the entire floor could be built with this packs mechanism, but tbh i don't think that will happen and honestly this could probably bring a fair amount of balance for the different kinds of players and playstyles.

As soon as I saw the announcement for this I thought of you Jessica 😂 I knew you'd go feral for it. It looks pretty badass!!

cant wait to recreate my old apartment, mold included for the full experience

JESSSSSSSE I ALSO LOVE FNAF this is the most endearing new info about you

Glad you're back! 😊

I appreciated the Hamilton break.

The mould thing makes perfect sense to me. I'm a student renting a house and I swear all the student houses in the area have mould SOMEWHERE (the bathroom ceiling in mine was covered in the stuff)

Love the search for escape to the country. Watch that show all the time

0:44 love the cat

Can’t wait to grab land with the landgrabs ❤

Loving the cat cameo 😻

Was expecting you to freak out more about the kettle! Does Mombella know!?

i personally really dont agree with the city living thing- that was like 7 years ago and i really dont think they had the technology or resources to create something like this! and i dont think its a bad thing for packs to share features, like the festivals, it makes the worlds feel more connected

I haven't seen or played TLOU but idk if that's what the mold death is referencing. I interpreted it as a further theme on rental life and shitty landlords that are totally fine with letting their tenants live in molded filth and get sick from things that are their(the landlords) legal responsibility to fix and maintain. I don't know how bad it is in the UK, I imagine landlords are the same everywhere, but here in the US it's...bad lmao. Landlords would absolutely let their tenants die from things that are their job to fix, like black mold that they paint over and say they took care of.

Idk the mould death doesn’t bother me any more than the drowning or starvation or fire…and I say that as someone who used to get sick because of my old mouldy apartment back when I first moved out lol.

matthew lillard parts was so realllllll love you queeen 😚😚😚😚😚🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

1. I am shocked that you are not currently obsessed with Baldur's Gate 3. 2. I am very worried that we can't move OUR families in as tenants. Hopefully, the tenants aren't just NPCs that wander in.

I love that Wilburgur’s video is the first one and you have already watched it 😂❤️

I WAS SO EXCITED TO WATCH YOU NOTICE THE KETTLE!!!!!!!!!!! 😍🤩😍🤩

There was a blog post that explains the features in way more detail!~

7th of December is my birthday bestie!! Thirty, flirty, thriving, and simming :)

I was anxiously waiting for the "KETTLE" reaction 🤣

Missed you so much beautiful traveler!

You raise some good questions about the animal sanctuary.

Your reviews are my favourite. I could not buy this pack before watching you chat about it.

You're gorgeous and every time I see your thumbnail, I can't help but see the vampire face now XD

3:26 thanks, now it's stuck in my head.

Im gonna build a cult.

I liked the early concept stuff that looked like houses can touch one another like most houses in the UK do, but not keen on how they have be to rented not just owned houses. And not keen on the breaking & entering thing being on the rental properties as that's not exactly hugely common. And the concept of people somehow being closer just because the houses are closer together. We don't know any of our neighbours and you can't overhear one another because we have proper brick walls with insulation. So its like they've almost added regular people houses but then missed the mark entirely as per usual. The animal sanctuary is probably like the cinema that is a rabbit hole thing to visit.

Now your neighborhood on one lot will be really functional!

“Away for 2.5 weeks” is giving the same energy as “the poison for Kuzco, Kuzco’s poison, the poison specifically to k//l Kuzco” 😂

i LOVE that plumbella has a wendigoon video on her home page 😂😂

Getting upset about the mold death sounds like a terminally online take

Mold death feels like a throwback to die by flies from Sims 2 for dirty surroundings

I think everybody is just excited about the possibilities of creating a semi open neighborhood

Just suddenly realised you have the wallpaper from the kit you collaborated on. Why has it taken me this long?!

I don't know what you've done but you look fabulous, like fresh and beautiful!

Did not expect a small fnaf rant in a sims rent expansion pack video but boy am I here for it

i love the fact that you watch morgan adams

so glad u uploaded dude ive had an awful week so i cannot wait to watch this🫶🫶
