- How to make The Sims 4 For Rent actually better with and without mods!
These are ways to enjoy The Sims 4 For Rent gameplay more.
1. Download off the gallery ID "Lilsimsie":
- Riverfront houses to replace the Isda Riverfront lot
- Tomarang Townhouses to replace the Tam Nang Sands lot
2. Use the mod "WEE Working Elevators Everywhere" by Lilmssam (available on Curseforge)
3. Use the mod "Realistic Real Estate" by Sim Realist (not yet updated for For Rent so patiently wait for it to be updated.)

Knowing the sims team, if they gave us elevators to move between floors there would be a loading screen every time you travel between floors in your own lot 😂
you killed EA omg
Omg yes they would xD The sims 4: loading screen simulator.
you and lilsimsie exemplify the duality of the sims community rather well. Super excited by any piece of new content vs. bitching about EA's scummy tactics
in my opinion they do nothing else but sims content some creators are ea shills and have daddy ea help them grow there channels
Hey ya know what they say it ain't bitching if you are right
I think some you tubers are contributing to the issues of sims 4. They are hyping up a crap game and excusing EA trashy approach toward their customers. They are saying it’s ok that a game is broken
TBH I think there's a middle ground where most people actually feel. Like I don't HATE everything sims 4 but I'm not sucking their balls either.
And that's why I subscribe to them both
3:25 This is the biggest let down of the gallery for me. You'd think the filter works like how basic filtering works but it's the opposite here. It is so hard for the limited pack players to search for post with only owned pack because the filter is messed up.
Like with almost any other app, program, game... the devs of these products don't actually use them. They can't. There is no way they could and still have them not function properly.
Oh I thought it was just mine, is your 'open gallary question' working? You know that thing they added last year to help toggle the gallery faster by going to your personal gallery first and asking you if you mind having the gallery fully open that save? That thing was actually useful in keeping my game from lagging! And I rarely use the open gallery, I usually just use my own to place lots or my friends list, so having to wait for the Internet to load random lots when Im going straight to my saves is annoying, more so now when they fixed it, but now its not working smh, so I thought maybe they took it off because I know some people complained? So bug or fix?😅
Omg, and the friends list is broken too! It hides and deletes people from my list so I have to go find them again! Is that just me?
@@jessimarim_m9387 Mine is like that too. It open personal gallery first. Mine is not deleting friend list but deleting downloaded stuff.
Tbf the filter system isn’t messed up. They intentionally made it that way so you’re more inclined to buy more of the pacts
The fact that they made a pack about building multi-unit rental properties and didn't put in either elevators or spiral staircases is utterly hilarious.
Never mind that proper elevators should have come with City Living 😂
One of the City Living doors has swatches with a variety of numbers on it. The better question is why didn't they use those for the City Living apartments 🤔
God, right? Who'd have thunk.
😮 need to find that door
I don’t understand why EA just doesn’t officially hire the modders to make an amazing game? They would both benefit and the expansion packs would be 10x better
Yeah, Minecraft has done stuff like that at least once. They used the code from a horse mod to add horses to the game, and I assume payed the original modders a lot. Idk if they ever hired modders though. Probably
I used to write mods for the sims 4. Not only are most of mine now no longer necessary because EA put them in the game, I did not get paid, I didn't get credit, I didn't even get a thank you. I don't think any other modder who actually improved the game ever got any of that because EA absolutely lost their touch to reality, they are vultures and they deserve to be put out of business.
@@CosimaNonymouse a bit off topic but do you have any tips on how to get started with modding ts4? I know a bit of Python, but all the tutorials I can find assume you know a lot about coding already, only work for PC and not Mac, or are years out of date.
Also hired the creator of the Aether mod to work on development
Start with the xml files. Coding comes before proramming. Mods for consoles? I'm not sure, if it was possible there'd be a lot more by now. I got into it by an outdated mod that I really liked when it was still working and just compared the vanilla files to the modded file. There are great tutorials for both xml and phython, here on yt and over at the sims 4 studio.@@MoldyRainbowButter
as a southeast asian its kinda sad how EA is selling out our culture like this. It has happened with raya and the last dragon and now this lol sad how i was extremely excited to build my irl house and play it as a residence complex only to find it broken and lazy. I know they shove like multiples cultures from different countries but to me this is just a cheap way to engage us into buying..
Edit: Sorry, just to clarify, I realized my sentence was a bit ambiguous; my whole point was mostly about EA monetizing cultures and not about representations. Well, part of it is, because they know if they paywall a certain content, especially catering to a specific culture, there will be more people buying this pack for that representation. If you're gonna paywall our culture like this, at least PLEASE make it worth our money. The rent is supposed to be the main feature of this pack, yet they literally leave it broken and unplayable. The world isn't even that big for an expansion pack, and it's just plain sad. It's like EA is dangling For Rent to us and is like "aight, heres some bb objects and some clothings that looks like the real things to make you feel like home. now give us your money"
I'm from Singapore and I'm just confused as to why our shophouses are in what is supposed to be a Thai world. I mean I'm not mad about it but like its so dumb tho
Performative representation indeed
As a Brazilian, I feel the same about Jungle Adventure. I was excited to be able to build with South American items/architecture, in a world based where I live. Only to get a, ngl enjoying, but extremely limited game pack. You can't even live in Selvadorada, just go there to "explore", steal some ancient artifacts and come back home. I just sounded so iffy. Plus, weirdly enough, I was more "familiar" with the objects from For Rent than Jungle Adventure, which does make me think if they did an actual research before doing all this.
Y’all just want to complain it’s called representation and at least y’all get it…
@@lysiamoreno7431 I felt some itens from for rent remind me of brazilian architecture.
I just sent in a bug report. My property owner "lost" her property, after I went with the teenage daughter to high school. The property was no longer listed as owned, in live mode, in the familys overview over owned properties - just gone. But if I checked in manage world, the lot was still owned by that family. And they still got notifications about stuff going wrong, but I couldnt do anything about it, because I didnt own it anymore - yet I did. 🤦♀
Omg thats horrible! This is why it never really made sense why they wouldnt let the gamers test the games with their other packs, just testing the pack alone without the rest clearly doesnt test how other mechanics mess with it 🤦🏽♀️
I hope more people pick up on this since it doesnt seem that common yet but its a big one, I wonder if university, or other open career's would give the same problem?
Cause really having an off campus rentable home/house share makes the most sense, but sounds like it'll be really buggy, as in the renters wont go to school 🤔
same here
2:00 I never thought that, but at one point I started to think she was a shill for EA or something, but it was you, Satch, that made me realize she's just a Sims builder. 90% of her content is building and build challenges, so she gets her money's worth from each pack.
“We call them lifts, we don’t call them elevators. Because it lifts you up get it?”
Yeah, but it also elevates you. 😁
but u dont say smth like "babe pls elevate me" tho do you?lmao
Emotionally available 6"3 men with green eyes elevate me too... Can I call them elevators?
@@SatchOnSimsyes 😂
Yes you do. @@natalks9635
@@natalks9635 im fckin cryin oh my god thats hilarious
I love you and lilsimsie, literally the only sims youtubers I watch on a regular basis.
And James turner
I also watch Whiny Brit because the commentary kills me 😂
OMG SAME we are all the same. @@Topherswife
Same❤
Sahmandbean is a wonderful builder if you’d like to check her out!
Loading screens are such a game breaker for me … It is just such an immersion breaker when you load your neighbours' house and the whole neighbourhood resets!!!!
James Turner built a really fun Pink Flamingo Hotel on that large lot! 🎉
Also you always have me cracking up! 😂
I gave a lot of thought to all of this and I came up with thinking that Tomarang should have been a pack to explore and learn about the beautiful culture they brushed on with proper places you can go and things you can do and then renting stuff not in the same pack. We are missing so many things to make proper apartment buildings ( like door with peep holes and lifts) and we only got boring rabbit holes for an absolutely beautiful World and culture. Honestly, disappointed. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah I think so too!
I feel like the SEA theme just gave them an excuse to not give us elevators and any « big buildings » stuff, so they could say it’s not really fitting for the theme… wish they’d done a SEA pack with something other than renting as the main feature. Then we could have had the best of both worlds. Or at least they’d have had less of an excuse to not give us lifts and stuff…
Those elevators work exactly like Realm of Magic portals/Jungle Adventures gates. It appears LittleMsSam just reskinned the teleporters to look like elevators from City Living (hence why the mod requires both packs).
There must be more to this mod than just a reskin, I’m trying to get the jungle Adventure gate to work and they don’t :(
@@mikasaackerman6224 I don't have jungle adventures, but if they're like the portals in realm of magic, there are exit and entrance gates that are specific to each other. Apparently there are more gate pairs in jungle adventure then there are portal pairs in realm of magic. I personally use a different elevator mod (that has realm of magic as a requirement) and even the modder states that the mod is a reskin of realm of magic's portals.
Update: the JA portals do work, but not if I shrink them down in size… which is unfortunate because they are way too big to use in regular builds. However I found a elevator mod that only requires base game. It’s called Uplifting Elevators by Ravasheen.
you and simsie are my comfy sim youtubers lol that’s quite funny because you are absolutely different from each other, also i love your posting time, it’s always perfect for me
totally agreee
RVSN has the Lift/Elevators mod thats been available for years, with I think the animation, theres also a smaller lift, and invisible lift options. Highly recommend!
I recommend LittleMsSams mods too, RVSN and LMS do combined mods or compatible mods with eachother or others, all maxis match and better the game and gameplay 😢
RVSN"s animated lift is just a door you can build around to make whatever lift you want :) you can put any wallpaper there, mirrors etc. I even thought about putting a wardrobe from Get Together just behind the door to test if sims can who inside. I like both mods.
For the elevator mod - these elevators are all connected, even if you use both different types. However, LittleMsSam also provides an addon which adds a second version of these elevtors, so you can have two seperate elevators!
When a new pack comes out I watch Lil Simsie and Satch back to back so I get whiplash. Two extremes, so the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Satch: "we say lift okay, not elevator, deal with it"
Also Satch, 4:18 only uses the word 'elevator' we love you
This video was amazing! I know it’d be a lot of work but i’d love to see more of these “fix XXX pack with these mods” videos!
Sims 3 team: They can go in a number of worlds.
Sims 4 team: Only one world can have those lots.
I watch only your and Lilsimsie's Sims videos on TH-cam. The contrast make them so enjoyable. I don't prefer one channel over the other, but your videos serve as 🇫🇮 my daily dose of the 🇬🇧 British humour. 😅
I find Plumbella is like a middle ground between them - excitable about new stuff, but realistic about what's wrong/could be better. (Plus that A+ British humor!)
You literally make my day😭 love your laugh
Same❤
Aww congrats on your new PC!!!
I’m glad Satch is feeling better 😊
Thank you so much for sharing all of this!
I truly enjoy your videos!! Thank you!!
You and lilsimsie are my two personalities and I love both yours and her reviews of packs. I tend to love things rather easily but I also hate unfair/poorly done things and will never miss out on a chance to complain. I feel like after I watch the two of you I am finally able to understand if I want to buy a pack.
Bingeing your videos right now! Love the content and how frequently you upload. Just wanted to say hi and hope you have a good day!
Lilsimsie calls out all the same things that are broken and hate that you call out too! She complains but i think she is more accepting with the problems which isnt a bad thing just different standards/baseline of happiness
I did the 40x30 lot, but it has a couple more than For Rent (werewolves, Jungle Adventure, and Snowy Escape) because the aesthetics worked. It was based on a DEBUG asset from the For Rent pack. 6 units (60-140 tiles) with quite a bit common area stuff (including an above ground pool).
hey, can you give your gallery id?
@@reynavaldez13 VioletKitty411
i don't play sims 4, only sims 3 but that still doesn't stop me from watching your videos every second they drop lmaoooo😭😭😭
3:53 the lift-effect was the cutest ever
i love your content satch, you make my day. i love sims and may appear to be harsh or hating sims 4 but i really just get so sad to see what my childhood has turned into
You and lilsimsie are two of my faves, you balance each other out! She's extremely enthusiastic and optimistic about the game, and you're a lot more real and skeptical. Both are needed imo.
I mean...being unrealistically optimistic about a company taking advantage of players and tapping into addictive tendencies isn't needed. It's harmful to encourage people to support a company that takes advantage of them by offering buggy, incomplete packs. Would you be optimistic about a car you bought that had no brakes or windows? It's still 75% of a car, after all, think about what you're still getting! You'll probably get brakes one day, maybe! - If that's not okay in other business practices, why should it be lauded in video games? It's still false advertising and bad business.
Lilsimsie is not unrealistically optimistic about the game. She is very even minded and is quick to point out when stuff is glitchy and broken. Simsie loves the game, for sure, but she is frequently vocal about EA's mistakes. Kayla is more heavily into building so her opinions usually lean towards that aspect of them game, but she always states that when she does her reviews. She's the reason why I would never buy the My Wedding Stories pack.
These are all excellent recommendations. Thanks!
i watch both you and lilsimsie. her to get hyped for a new pack, and then you to get a reality check LOL
this really elevates my mood.
for the big lot i downloaded a pool that was made with "for rent" only and also, lots of people already renovated the national park like someone actually turned it into a temple!
i have that elevator mod. it's pretty useful as well in multiple story homes because of the kids that haven't learned to walk yet can use them, instead of being stuck in a floor until someone picks them up. same for kittens and puppies i think.
the real estate mod has been updated btw
Finally someone mentioned it. I thought I was the only one curious about elevators.
Hope you're feeling better ❤
Ravasheen has animated elevators. Syboulette has some elevators that work with Ravasheen's elevators.
actually I am having fun building my modern blocks for 6 units - with elevators, with utility rooms. with some shared spaces like spa-salon, gym and in the yard there is some area for BBQ, picnics, sports. it's like living in apartments but now we can have even more neighbours to live back-to-back.
I have cute balconies to dry laundry, eat at fresh air or use skilled stuff, I have put small grills
I'm happy to know everyone is experiencing the stupid showering bug, I don't even own this pack!!
Same! My sims fiance kept coming over and just using the shower over and over again. And now, even though I didn't change anything in the bathroom, they won't use the shower unless I move it somewhere else, so it's currently in the backyard
@@MoldyRainbowButter it sounds so on brand 🤣
*not me loving all the shotouts and props to simsie from several simstubers (and kevin lmao) because she has talent and makes good sh^t*
I was your 1000th like! I literally saw it go from 999 to 1k lol How cool is that ?
If you use the hashtags in the search on the gallery then put the pack name (for example #forrent) you are more likely to get builds with only that pack. It isn't perfect and it doesn't work for more than one pack. But unless the gallery filtering works then this is the best option I have found.
This is how I used it once. I wanted a restaurant on a roof top in city living (the lot usually with a lounge) so I put is the search #cityliving and used the filter of restaurant lots and the lot size that I wanted and it worked some what well.
Hope this helps someone and isn't too confusing to read.
Also, I really hoped for a a gameplay from You Satch 😢 its a shame you don't enjoy the pack enough. Keep the videos coming, we all love your content!
Lol the irony is that lilsimsie and you are my favorite sims 4 reviewers. 😂❤
No drama! Respect!
i subscribed the second you mentioned lilsimsie
I almost had an ugly cry before, but this made me feel better
'SATCHONSIMS HATE LILSIMSIE'
LOL
That's quite rude to be honest lilsimsie is a really good simmer so is statch but you don't need to be such a hater
@PaigeHarris-ye8lz I love lilsimsie, but I gotta be honest, quite sure the comment was meant to be sarcastic 😅
Satch and lilsimsie are total opposites and that's what makes watching them both so fun!
@vanillalocky oh OK I get it now❤
@@Paige.harris90❤❤❤
I'm sure Lilsimsie is as fond of you, as we are.
Satch you should have another gameplay series. I BEG OF YOU
OMG YOU GOT A NEW PC YEAYYYYYY🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The big thing I am disapointed about, is the fact that we cant buy normal residential houses to own for ourself different homes, like a vacation home etc... I would have loved they added it on this real estate pack, it was the only opportunity? perhaps, unless they patch it in at some point...
yeah, if they wanted city living & for rent to be separate packs that badly, maybe city living could be apartment city life and for rent could specifically focus on real estate in all forms (vacation homes, hotels, etc). but ea couldn't even bother with that lol
Simmarysims has the best builds!!!
WORKING ELEVATORS IS A MUST!!
I just love how smart the modders are. WWE uses the functionality of the portals/doors in jungle adventure with the elevator's skin (from city living). It's nothing new, we already have it in the game. And those EA bastards won't even bother to replicate it on the game, it's so absurd!
Sim Realist mods are on another level, it looks like another game.
The modder community is amazing, is such a shame we have to relay on them so much!
Love that mod!
To be fair though, many people delete premade lots and build their own or download their own so what the game comes with isn’t as important to some.
As for LilSimsie, she is bubbly and fun and you are honest, in your face, funny and realistic….you both have a place in the Sims YTsphere. We need both of you. People creating drama over your differences in Sims vlogging is dumb.
Well, builders do. Non-builders make do with what’s in game or what they download from the gallery… and since there’s a bug where you can’t place a rental from the gallery without changing the lot type first which no other lot type requires, people are double frustrated. 🤷🏼♀️
I literally watch both of them the most for sims entertainment/info grabbing so this "controversy" makes me really sad
@@bookcat123 I see your point, but changing the lot type for me isn’t an issue, it’s a quick change with a click.
@@Manas-co8wl me too. I love both of them for what they bring to the table. We need the diversity in point of view. Can’t have all Simmer YTers the same, that would be boring.
The sad thing is that this diverges from the previous games, that came with premade families with a lot of lore and stories for us to explore, not only an empty world to create. I honestly don't care much, because as you said we can easily download something and replace in-game.
I use the working elevator mods all the time, Ravasheen has some, I think Syboulette too
They should've done working elevators, and this could have been a good pack to introduce spiral staircases (that would've been one of the free update features).
LoveSimplySim & Chrissie's Corner have good builds with only For Rent you can place on that lot.
7:58 HONESTLY I LOVE USING SIM REALIST MODS! All of their mods are sooooo wonderful for realistic gameplay, and the best part is that all the mods can be used together!! The real estate mod pairs well with their banking mod
YES
Even when you check to show you only packs you have/even base game only it shows like- everything
I did download EA’s apartments for other worlds from the Gallery, I’ve only played oasis springs apartment and majorly updated it. I still wish they pre loaded them in the world..and actually tried to make decent builds! But I will for sure check out lil Simsie
Numbers on apartment doors might be a regional thing, I have never lived in an apartment with the number on the door. In both of the US states I have lived in, they had the numbers on the wall next to the stairs or on the front of the building, the actual doors were all identical. Also, most apartments in the two states I have lived in, rarely have elevators because most buildings are not large or tall enough to justify them.
I glad im not wasting my money on this pack. lol. I love his reviews....Dahhaaa. I love that mod by Simrealist
them teleporting even if unrealistic I sort of like that (sims path finding multiple sims at ones, and just general sims scuff).
Satch: i don't get why they don't see these bugs during test plays
EA: releasing 3 expansion packs in 1 year
I wasnt around when my nightmare wedding was released, does for rent achieved a new low as a very gliched pack at release ?
good video i took 4 hrs lastnight uk time making a block of 4 apartments in a you shape , i even added a shared room with washing machins fuse box etc , and im 58 and autistc im not using sims 4 rent as we cant use our own cas which is a shame , con sidering the harm ea did to dragon age games and mass effect and then went for a live service game which crashed consoles not surprised they are run by shareholders who want money not people who play games
Not only should the elevators or lifts work, but Sims should be able to WhooHoo in thsm...❤❤
I want the lilsimsie satch collab
omg first viewer ✌️love ur rants
I don’t fully understand how this pack works. If I move a sim into an apartment does my sim become the landlord by default or do I have to set that?
It could just be me but I noticed a bug where when you download something from the gallery, open the item in your personal gallery, the shared date isn’t when it was shared by the creator but instead the date on which you downloaded it, maybe it’s always been this way and I’m only noticing it now. If it has always been that way, I still find that weird since the dates shown aren’t when it was shared, so if I tried to find it in the gallery again by looking on the creator’s profile, it wouldn’t be easy to find using ‘sort by newest’.
As a sims 3 player I have to ask does sims 4 have elevators at all? Or are they just elevators that are stuck to city living lots?
"You can live here, or you can live here... and they're both GROSS." LOL I laughed so hard.
Honeybearturtles has build some big apartment buildings.
I'm sorry but I love his laugh so much lol
The occupied apartments never bother me because I typically evict any current residents of a new world anyway and make my own lol. Been living that landlord simulator for awhile.
Tbh I keep coming back just to hear satch say “swatches”
Been using ravasheen elevators for the longest now. I hate stairs in general, takes for ever to go up more than 1 flight.
Kinda ironic to see a small world for a something that represents SEA, like there's a lot of people there??? I find it funny how they just try to fill in the gaps that aren't in the game already since we already got some Filipino and Vietnamese foods in City Living (coincidentally an apartment pack). Heck, I noticed the lack of a Filipino household in the pack probably because they already did it in Growing Together (the Robles Family).
It doesnt automatically populate the world with new lot tipe, it asks you if you wanna place it (sims3)
I can’t place more than one item down in build mode, then I have to switch to live and build mode again to place another item. Fun.
Simrealist's and littlemssam's farts have more effort than whatever ea creates lmao
I don't think you dislike lilsimsie - I watch you and her. - 2 differing opinons!
the cheat for removing the 6 unit cap does not allow adding more units for me. It just makes the menu options enabled from disabled but doesn't actually allow creating more. Can anyone check this?
Guys if you had installed the Sim Realist Mods like Banking and the Realestate mode you need to delete it because the update broke it! It corrupted my saves so delete it before launching the game!
what the elevator door doesn't open? I just bought the City Living pack to see them walk in/out the elevator.
teleporting sucks at this point.
lol I’ve seen so many people making trailer parks with this pack 😂 I’m not sure that’s what the sims team had in mind
I got this error after playing with for rent yesterday and it literally broke my whole save. I can't play or build anything, it just kicks me back into manage world with an error message 😭😭
Omg you and lilsimise are my go to simers to watch you to get Info and Her to watch her twitter and builds I'm a very big builder in...ECT.2000 OG #Sims1
i use SYB’s hotel doors for the apartment doors
