You're the first TH-camr to clearly and thoroughly explain all these features that I've seen. There's really a lot in this pack and I don't think it's all being appreciated.
right every other video only went over the basic things. Great job to this TH-camr for going into detail, i really needed the explanation
And by far, the button to toggle the unit boundaries was the most useful tip. 🤩
Can we appreciate the vibes and aesthetic of Petey’s builds? They’re so good, one day I’ll build as good as him
Is the building downloadable, Petey? Where can we find it?
Sure we can! You start.
You forgot to mention that water lots in Sulani also cannot be turned into rentals which makes me mad to no end. Also, never rent to the Shadow sisters, they are bad tenants lol
Ooh I didn't know this! Thank you for sharing. Totally agree though it would be great to be able to rent them out.
Darn it. There goes my idea for a Grand Resort Hotel.
i wouldn't have half as much fun with the Sims 4 without your guides, i just got For Rent and had no idea where to start so this really helped
I'm so glad the video helped! and thank you so much for the kind comment 😊
Your videos are always so good to watch after playing the pack for a few days. It's like clearing the fog lmao! I also like how you always find hidden features that I usually miss when I try out the pack.
Man what would I do without your guides! Great Video as always
Thank you so much November :)
My sims are rich enough to not need rent paid on their units. So I just turn previous residential lots into rentals (Like the Goth Mansion, those in Del Sol Valley, Landgraab house) and buy all of them. Since those places are so big anyway, each unit ends up being 3-4 stars by default. I set the rent price based on the game's suggestions and rent them out. Even if the tenants don't pay rent EVER, my sims are rich enough that they don't need to. So giving sims shelter that was previously hoarded by 1 household and having them be there rent-free is the dream and I am living it! Now to do that in the real world! End homelessness globally overnight!! :D
True, because being a landlord isn’t exactly a profession so getting a lot of money from this to the point you don’t need a job would be weird. But I wouldn’t give up my sims earning money from gardening for anything lol
We love a charitable qween!
There is enough resources in this world for nobody to be homeless. Its crazy the way things are.
Then go bring some homeless folks into your home and give them a room
@@StarDazzlegaming Yup and enough for NO ONE to be poor too. SimNation really does show us what the world SHOULD be and actually CAN be...if certain kinds of people didn't require the suffering of others to have ego boosts or feel powerful :/
Assign All Rooms is likely a quick shortcut for rental houses. Like if you were to turn Goth Manor into a rental and become the Goth family's landlord, you could click that, make the whole house 1 unit, and be done, rather than assigning one room at a time.
Such a good point Holly :), absolutely in that instance it makes for a really good shortcut.
The ONLY TH-camr I have to play at slow speed.
And I listen to Simon Whistler 😂 love your information!
Yay, Petey's here! Thanks for sharing these tips.
Love these tips. You're so thorough in the way you explore these packs Petey. I'll come back this video once I buy the expansion. Too many bugs for me personally.
Wow this was amazing! A whole textbook of info 🎉 your videos are always helpful but this really helped me out ❤
Wow, I was so lost without your guide. Thank Goodness for Petey Plays. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. I believe that I can do it now
😅
THANK YOU! I've been looking for this clear explanation for how to do this. I didn't realize how much you can actually do with this pack. Again, thank you so much.
My sim bought her first duplex. I can't wait to get home from work so i can place all the furniture and stuff inside. Awesome video as usual. 😁👍
Just started and can tell it is amazing already! Love your video and they helped me calm down before my first big acting performance, so have a very merry Christmas! ❤❤
Thanks so much Hannah! I hope your acting performance went well :)
thank you SO MUCH! I got this as a birthday present for myself and I was SO LOST!
People really have no idea how being a landlord works legally judging by a lot of these reviews. Not a bad review, just something I'm noticing. Landlords get fines for things too. Like unexpectedly kicking out tenants. 🤷♀️
FINALLY I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR VIDEO, TYSM
when my brain first comprehended that 1. we can make apartments 2 each apartment can have up to 8 sims in it and each lot could have 6 units of said size, which if we do the math, 8x6 thats 48 sims total... tell me why people are complaining about that? I never get up to 8 sims period let alone managing that many.... that makes my head hurt and my eyes cross
I was waiting for you to post. Thank you!!
I wonder, is there a point in having a hot water boiler and fuse box in a normal residential lot? I added them to one of my sims home because I felt like having them does add to the real life aspects of owning a home. But I am not sure if there is a point to having them on a regular lot. Like would having the fuse box for example lower your energy bill? Also another thing I want to know is, if you have a seance table on the apartment you are renting and summon some spirits, would that violate the no ghosts rule?
I know there's a lot challenge in residential lots that allows them to malfunction (but it isn't available for tiny homes or haunted homes for some reason), but idk about how it'd effect bills. And I imagine that summoning ghosts would violate the rules, but idk about specters
I've been waiting for this before I played the new expansion! TYSM
Thanks for uploading this! This whole "residential rental" thing was confusing!
Would NOT rent to the Benet family at 11:25. I love this channel. He doesn't spend 20 minutes moaning about how much he hates the game like some other youtubers
Helpful breakdown, thank you.
love your vids!! thank you for your hard work 🙏🏽
Thank you so much :)
Petey, you and your videos are simply delightful. Thank you so much for your fantastic, helpful videos. ❤
Thank you for the super kind comment Lauren!
Well done as always! I love how well you cover things! Especially getting the tenant side, since most people haven't talked about that much. ❤❤
thank you . all of your videos are so helpful
i just got the extension and man let me tell you i ran straight to peteyyyyy i knew i could find this video lol
This was very helpful. Tysm!
I’ve been building some residential rental lots on Newcrest on my new save file, and I decided to have sim to be a property owner. What’s funny was I put most of the residential rentals with the mold lot challenge, and it was chaotic that I’ve already expected 😭 I think I have become the worst property owner because in my gameplay most of my tenants got severe moldinitis, and I decided to remove the mold from all of the lots. Thank you for giving some tips for the residential rental lots 🤗
thank you so much I love your commentary and how you get straight to the point all I want to know is just how to rent my own house out and you explained it perfectly I hate the videos where I get on here just to look that up and people are actually just playing the game giving you commentary I didn't ask for to watch games I just want to know how to play My Own and thanks to you I'm able to do just that keep up the good work man God bless and thank you
YIBS! Vadish Petey! I have been waiting for this video from you. :D
Lol too cute ☺️
Thank you queen Gren :)
Oh Petey, I no longer play the Sims 4 because I'm eternally mad at EA, yet I get a warm feeling watching your tutorials and guides!
You can pirate them...if you're interested
i'm in love with your channel the videos are so good!!
Awe shucks thanks you so much!
Thank you. Finally makes sense.
THANK YOU!!
Should rentals include washer/dryer in common area? Or will the owner end up doing all the laundry.....?
I put them in a shared common area and the tenants do thier own laundry never the landlord
Oh thanks for that because I've spent a lot of time building a common area for laundry and water heater! Good to know because I haven't actually played For Rent yet :)@@bonbonvegabon
Thanks for this 🙏🏻
i come over here cause i just start my channel and i need to leran thank you for this video love it , big like i appreciate
this was great and helped me alot! New subsriber. 🤩
Peter, I adore you. Twisted Mexi has a mod that let's you have 200 rental units in your save.
Excited for the mod that creates more tenant rules!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Very helpful. Thank.
FINALLY!!!! 😂😂😂. When new packs drop. I wait for your videos to help me get the most out of it
If Peter ain’t play it. I ain’t Playin lmao
I am currently sacrificing my treasured objects to find the industrial townhouses on the gallery. I LOVE them!
I haven't uploaded them yet to be honest, but I will touch them up and try and upload them soon :).
@@PeteyPlaysIt Best reply I could hope for!
You sre the best for this video,I thought the furniture was gone in my unit
This pack is so bugged I regret buying it lol but thanks for the help in this video
Is that apartment shown in the video available? Its perfect! It reminds me of Sims 2 apartments.
Level 10 Charisma and the Incredibly Friendly trait means you can move in with someone after one Enchanting Introduction.
Split family and their previous homes are now vacant. You could the buy said home and rent it out. 😁
Would placing turbines, solar panels or generators from Eco Lifestyle instead of the fuse boxes generate power for units? Great video as always, Petey, already looking forward to your next one.
I believe they would! But I honestly haven't tested how the objects from eco lifestyle interact with those from for rent just yet.
I think so, Didn't knew those boxes were needed and all my lots have turbines, dew collectors, etc.
Hopefully there will be a mod that will allow penthouse residential rentals.
just make a huge box going up and down max levels and add the cheapest decoration that gives +1 envo until fancy rating add cheapest necesseties and get 30000k rent from one guy
Thanks so much for this informative video. 🎉 I assume I'm unlucky because I'm getting every single bug and it's frustrating.
sadly it is a bit of a buggy pack. I hope it gets fixed in time!!
Oh my! I didn’t even know about the “HOME UNIT” button.
This is definitely a helpful and much appreciated video! I love the Industrial Townhouse build.
Is that one of yours? If so, is it on the gallery? Love industrial builds.
Have and amazing day! Happy Holidays! 🎄🎅🎁📯🍾
Ooh it is mine but I don't have it on the gallery yet. I'll try do a bit of fixing up and renovating and then upload it :). Likewise happy holidays! Hope everything is going well!
@@PeteyPlaysIt Thank you! Can't wait to use it as a rental! Enjoy your Holidays! Hope you weren't too high up on Santa's 🎅 naughty list. 😉I'm probably getting coal this year myself. haha 🤷♀
I kept spamming the promise better conditions during a revolt on cooldown (like there's a short timer on it) and they never accepted it. My units were well cared for too. I hope it's a bug lol.
I wonder if you can do a "room rental" type! Years ago when i was in Ft. Smith I had to rent a room for a few months.
Tenant rent cap will prohibit choosing tenants if you are charging more than they can afford, but you can move in sims without the required bed count... They just might not be happy about it. Also, the number of tenants that apply for units increases with the unit rating, I guess to simulate good units being in high demand.
"there is no point in owning a residential rental and having just 1 unit"
my sim who bought and now owns her deceased parents' house but since we cant just own multiple residentials she had to convert it into a residential rental even though it literally is just 1 unit:
This is such a great use of the rental lots though! I am sure I will use this option a lot.
I just got this and I’m trying to make an aristocratic Georgian square. It’s so fun much fun
Love the tip, but I can't find the business panel on my sims game. Do you need get to work for it to pop up?
Okay a few questions: this pertains to being a landlord - #1. If a property owner dies what happens to the property & tenants? #2. Can a property transfer ownership from one Generation to another? #3. If the property owner where to rent out to elders & they died; could the property owner get the urn or is it just lost forever in a void?
How do you adopt a dog during the rental charity event? I couldnt figure it out
Hey👋🏽 I made a apartment building with the for rent pack I furnished everything!! When I moved them in all the furniture disappeared I don’t know why??
Does 1 unit count as a seperate micro home?
Because if so then we can make a micro home community lot.
I think it would be cool if you could only do 6 households and the households were only 1-3 sims. And then you could do the whole thing without loading screens. It’s annoying there’s only 6 sims on the block but I have more restrictions than in the base game.
So if sims want a kitchen to be happy, do shared space kitchens count?
Yep, i am basically playing monopoly with the game. I am playing as a landlord and renting out houses for people. I think I might have a homeless shelter as well
can you create separate units on one lot for instance townhomes
You know, I was going to skip watching this video, as I've both explored the pack fairly thoroughly and have watched several other videos on the pack, but I thought, "You know, Petey always seems to have info I've somehow missed." I'm glad I watched, as I have been so frustrated with the rental unit color border lines and didn't realize I could toggle them off! Thanks so much.
I also didn't know about the arrows indicating changing unit rating. Thanks again!
Something I've been doing to increase the environment score of apartments is collect tassels and hang my extras in the units as welcoming gifts. They provide Environment 3 and cost nothing if you find them in the world as opposed to buying them at the night market or only $50 if you do buy them. They really do beat the score-per-simoleons rate for pretty much anything in the build/buy catalog.
Hanging tassels on the wall of rentals. I would never have thought of that.
So you could live in one place and also have a home in one of your owned properties?
hello, what if you can't use hot water and a washing machine? the statement said it needed a water heater. then I went to the water heater, it said no water utility. very confusing! anyone thanks if you answer!
How do you replace faulty equipment/furniture while your apartment is occupied?
How many days do you recommend for the lease ?
The only thing that confuses me is when playing as a Landlord, where can we live with the tenants?
Does the Landlord live in an area that is not color marked?
I've also tried to decorate the furniture for the rented room, but when I visit, the items don't change.
Can anyone help me?
Is there a way to make my sim's family the tenants?
If you’re married does both the married couple become owners of the property or just that specific sim?
So this just makes "the neighborhood" on one lot. We still have to load one unit only when visiting.
Anyone know how to copy a house? I have made one now I want to copy it to have 6 but I can’t copy the building as a whole.
Thank you once again Peter you’re the best !‼️🔥 I am about to go make the most cringe landlord sim 😅
Excellent video! Thank you, the in game tutorial had me so confused. This made it clear and so easy to do. Smooth sailing from here on out.
Can you become a landlord but you live in a different world? And you have a rental lot in a different world
i love this pack but it’s very buggy …
my sim hasn’t gotten their paycheck from her two units, events are buggy, rent being like 4 billion.
i really hope they fix the pack soon cause i hate to see such potential be unplayable.
I have a 4 unit apartment I want to rent but once I wanted to rent them out, the furnitures disappeared? Coz everything is complete before but it's all gone?? Can anyone help me with this
I couldn’t make the waterfront lots residential rentals either🤷🏻♀️
So if a renter has a pet in violation of the rules you could charge them for breaking the rules, collect your money then forgive the rule for that unit. Kind of like getting a pet deposit?
does anyone know why mine doesn't have the option in 1:15 ? it's only blank and I can't change the unit type. i already do it from manage world and also from the build mode from the owner sims ㅠㅠ
I have same problem. Help 😢
@@VM-tq6kx I've figured it out and it turns out it's my mod. I downloaded the latest version and it turns out it works. Maybe you can try it first:D
@@obstraballeu I updated the mod UI cheats, now everything works great. Thanks 🥰
@@VM-tq6kx your welcome!!
do I need to buy Sims 4 premium to build rental?
4 billion a DAY rent? Hey Felon Musk, I have a great place for you to live, and very affordable. Totally in your price range ^_~.
QUESTION: how --or can--you play as multiple units at the same time? I made a frat house, one for boys another for girls, on the same lot (rental) and they're completely separate in build mode, but when I'm actually playing, it doesn't let me be all the sims in their individual lots. I have to 'visit' the lot--which I guess I didn't expect. I thought you could see everyone all the time and have them interact together instead of their unit being closed off... Is there no way to play like that? I guess I just expected it to be different.
How much does the quality of the shared space affect rent, if at all?
From my experience I don't believe the shared spaces impact on rent prices much if at all.
@@PeteyPlaysIt That's a huge missed opportunity (and gameplay limiter, like so many things in this pack). In real life, amenities like gyms and pools will certainly raise your rent.
I sold my rental residential, but I don’t know where the money goes. Anyone can explain?
so here's my question: I want to build a version of a 1940s boarding house where a widow rents out her extra bedrooms with a communal bathroom/living room/kitchen. My question if I build this am I only able to play as the widow or can I play as the widow landlady and also the tenants?
You can move them into the residential rental and switch to each household by clicking on the door to their unit
@@UnassumingLlama oh okay. So I can play as both landlord and renter... sweet. Thanks
Can we hire a maid for cleaning residential rental as an owner ?.
I got a dead Child in sims 4
8:50 I don't think there's anything that needs to be "fixed".
You could look at it just as sort of a fine.
Can we make our own sims and make them a rental resident?
Yes
