For Rent is the next expansion pack coming to The Sims 4

Electronic Arts have announced that The Sims 4 will let renters flip the script on landlords, as they are given the power of becoming one themselves, with the new For Rent Expansion Pack. Check out the trailer for it below.

Don’t worry if you are not too keen on being a landlord, the game will let you be a tenant as well. Both positions will be available in the new region of Tomarang, where you as a landlord can fix utilities, deal with unruly neighbours and create a community and even managing multiple Residential Rentals.

Here are the highlights that EA have called out for the new expansion.

  • Street Eats Digital Content — Bring night market flavour home with a grill cart, street umbrella, and fruit basket, available when you order from November 2 through January 18

  • The New Lot Type in Town — New Residential Rental lots give you the chance to get creative with multi-family dwellings. Give your Sims a basement suite to rent out, create a duplex to keep 2 families close, or even build apartments.

  • Property Management — Property-owner Sims can be present property managers, living among their tenants, or they can live in a separate residence while generating income from several property investments. Watch out — if property owners don’t keep their Unit Ratings high, they could face a Tenant Revolt.

  • Closer Than Ever — Closeness can create harmony — or drama! Sims in Residential Rentals will inevitably get tangled up in each other’s lives. They’ll socialize at potlucks, meet in the garden or other common areas, and have ample opportunity to discover each other’s secrets by eavesdropping, snooping, or even breaking and entering.

  • Bustling and Beautiful — Explore a new world that’s alive with possibilities. Visit the botanical garden, leave an offering at a Spirit House, and discover an animal sanctuary! One of the most iconic scenes Tomarang has to offer is the Night Market where your Sims will discover new foods and unique objects.

The expansion will arrive on December 8th for PC, Mac, PlayStation and Xbox, with it being a paid download.
