Questions about landlords
Inge:
The initial test version is up now, but missing a few features I am planning to add. I think I would advise at this early stage that people use a test hood, and remove all the included files from their Downloads before opening their serious hood. I don't want broken tokens littering an otherwise nice area :)
Edit: Ok as I don't get time to play much as I am always hacking the code instead, can someone let me know the range of apartment rental prices they have seen? Also the range of Hotel room prices per night? Max, min and typical please.
Gastfyr:
Cheapest apartments I've seen are around 200 simolions per week, and that's for a tiny place with no bathroom (just a small kitchen; I think the whole place was an 4/12 rectangle) and the most expensive rent I've seen was about 3000. However, it would be easy to make rent a lot more than that by just making the place huge. Also, I guess the cheapest rent would be for a tiny room with only room for one single bed an nothing else. :D
Rent isn't just based on apratment size, since 4 apartments of the exact same size (in my expirence) alsways have small varriations in rent. It seems to me that more expensive floors/walls come into play, since I don't paint them all exactly the same. I don't know about windows/doors though. Supposedly, the kitchen and bathroom pieces that come with the apartment also factor in, but I really don't know if this is true. I've also read that if you have boolprop testingcheatsenabled true active and shift-click on an apartment door you will have the option to "rent furnashed" and supposedly this is exactly the same price as renting the same apartment empty.
As far as hotels go, they are stupidly expensive in my expirence. I think about 400 per night for a tiny room is about the cheapest I've seen. Highest was around 2000 I think? My sims usually just go camping!
I'm sure someone else will have better numbers. I really havn't played many vacations since they are generally very annoying (Hotel maids not cleaning, dirty dishes remaining on the lot even after the family goes back home...I find I have to re-do the whole vacation hood before it is even playable).
Inge:
Well that gives me an idea of the range, thank you :)
ingeli:
I definitely agree on the silly expensive hotels. Its hard to play a medieval guesthouse in the mountains, priced 1000 simoleons/night, or a Gypsy Travellers Camp for that kind of prices. A possibility to have really low prices would be excellent (100-200 a night would be so much better).
Over all, total freedom in setting the prices would be best. I mean, that way you can always take in the counting what tenants you want, what they can pay, and how fast you want your house owner to get richer.
Inge:
Well I really wanted to just offer a range of about 10 prices so they all fit on one menu without going "more". I *could* use my option from the whatever-I-made ages ago that lets you just keep clicking "more" till you get a totally custom-chosen rent.
