The gurus took to Twitter to answer questions about various aspects of the upcoming Sims 4 City Living Expansion Pack. See here for Part 1 of the Q&A.
@AmberLynnGrow94 There are some specific traits only for #TS4CityLiving and some for base game.

@AmberLynnGrow94 The Lot Traits feature will be available for everyone when #TS4CityLiving releases.

@TheBoyXp @SimGuruJM The New Aspiration is City Native. It focuses on exploring the city and meeting new people.
— SimGuruSteph (@SimGuruSteph) September 23, 2016
@KaySmolBean @SimGuruJM Yep, #TS4CityLiving has Unflirty and Vegetarian! @SimGuruRad

@TheSimmerEvelie @SimsWorld_IT @SimGuruJM @platinumsimmers When you play basketball you gain Fitness skill 🙂
— SimGuruSteph (@SimGuruSteph) September 23, 2016
@SIMMER_RAY @SimsComplete @SimGuruJM Yes, you can place lots from the gallery on penthouses. 🙂
— SimGuruSteph (@SimGuruSteph) September 23, 2016
@snw @k4th3rz @TheSimsBoi Great catch! Puffefish Nigiri is new to #TS4CityLiving !
— SimGuruSteph (@SimGuruSteph) September 24, 2016
@wessimmer @SimGuruJM @SimGuruNeel There are a few ground-level lots.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 23, 2016
@Nuclearxpotato The camera does some tethering to prevent drop off.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 23, 2016
@thelifegamer1 There are between 1 and 4 apartments per building that you can move in to.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 23, 2016
@Im_ThunderBoy @platinumsimmers @SimGuruJM Those are the neighborhood icons.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 23, 2016
@bbillenstein_02 @platinumsimmers @SimGuruJM 30 lots, counting each apartment.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 23, 2016
@platinumsimmers @Im_ThunderBoy @SimGuruJM Specific so far, since the neighborhoods in San Myshuno have much more gameplay than others.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 23, 2016
@bbillenstein_02 @Woltereys @Iron_Cgull @platinumsimmers @SimGuruJM Festivals occur in the open street area.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@bbillenstein_02 @Woltereys @Iron_Cgull @platinumsimmers @SimGuruJM Some have 2!
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@platinumsimmers @SimGuruSteph 10!
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
@platinumsimmers @SimGuruSteph Originally had it set to 5, but having 10 made more sense with how much content can be unlocked.
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
Just decoration, but I use them all the time when I'm recreating my own messy apartment! https://t.co/bjqVtElMc3
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
@jacob_frittata @Liamer01 @TheSimsBoi @SimGuruSteph @SimGuruSteve You can have no traits! But not on lots with locked traits.
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
Basements really don't play well w/ the shell unfortunately- plus, penthouses in real life don't have basements! https://t.co/iXqRkWxUm8
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
Yup! You'll need to make sure you add an elevator and a few other requirements, but totally doable. https://t.co/h00GsSxGxA
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
Their apartments are actually visitable "lots". No rabbit holes there! https://t.co/kgWNGXMDlL
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
@SimGuruJM So elevators ARE in Build/Buy??
— Inge Jones (@Inge_Jones) September 23, 2016
@faintlyglowing @Inge_Jones Yup yup yup
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
@Inge_Jones @faintlyglowing They're in build/buy for penthouse lots. You need one for your Sim to be able to get down to the street
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
Should be in and working last I checked! (if you have GTW installed) https://t.co/UEGdlLh5Az
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
The landlord does it alllll (or your Sim uses their handiness skill). https://t.co/WC5ZxiNH75
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
There is a two story 2-unit apartment (common area is on first floor) and a three story 1-unit (FANCY) apartment. https://t.co/y1Shk8abj1
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
@icemunmun More on this later… but I don't think you'll be disappointed. 🙂
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 23, 2016
Bracing Breezes! Makes it easier to raise fitness skill when you work out on said lot. https://t.co/1b65egFhFG
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 24, 2016
Yup! You can also add bedrooms/redecorate the apartments as you wish. (Just can't knock down the exterior walls) https://t.co/RLChnVWFCi
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 24, 2016
@Weealbet Yup! There are two different models- a basic and a premium console. We'll have more info on the console in an upcoming blog post.
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 22, 2016
@Albarran101 @Weealbet you betcha!
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 24, 2016
How many penthouses are there in san myshuno? @SimGuruJM @SimGuruDaniel
— Ahmed Kallala (@AhmedKallala) September 24, 2016
@oreo1678 @AhmedKallala @SimGuruJM Yes.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@catloverplayer Fashion District.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@Inge_Jones @Devil_NDisguise @CuriousCheeze We've added a zone around the apartment that will keep the camera at the apartment level.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@TigerlilysSims4 @SimGuruSteph @SimGuruJM Yup!
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@montelwillliams @SimGuruJM @SimGuruHouts No.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@TheSimScraper @AndrewArcade @SimGuruDrake @SimGuruJM It shares a lot of features with the instrument skills.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@ptrc2 Yes there are around 4 normal ground level lots that can be venues or residential.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@Albarran101 @SamWitts2 No, you have to buy penthouses, not rent.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@SimmingFan3000 Yup!
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 24, 2016
@Billyboy200000 most complexes have 2-3, one has 4 and one has 1 huge 3-story apartment. (Might need to fact check myself on Mon.)

Flower petal "runners" shown in the latest City Living trailer – perfect for weddings 🙂 🙂 pic.twitter.com/Ng23eoyOtj
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 20, 2016
@AndrewArcade the best part is, as rugs you'll be able to overlay them in different ways 🙂
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 21, 2016
@Iron_Cgull @Weealbet I'd say in this situation the slide was difficult because it's hard to look natural sliding on only like, 3-4 tiles
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 21, 2016
@Sim_Cookie I love the way that dresser turned out 🙂 It comes in some fun colors as you can see in the latest trailer.
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 21, 2016
Really cool industrial light from the City Living trailer for those Simmers who like being hipsters 🙂 pic.twitter.com/GjaUR7idMM
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 24, 2016
Some of the fun Moroccan-inspired(mostly) paintings I did for City Living that have been shown so far in the Livestream/trailer. pic.twitter.com/5rypeCuK31
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 24, 2016
One of the difficult things was how to simify font in different languages. Hopefully nothing actually spells anything in Japanese/Arabic:)
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 24, 2016
Another hipster obj from City Living – sweet ottoman that also holds records 🙂 Comes plain + multiple patterns! pic.twitter.com/ez2pu7r5mI
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 24, 2016
@AndrewArcade hah. It's not clear, but they are the bottom of a Japanese-style wall scroll. There are a lot of patterns for it!
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 24, 2016
Love love love this bed! It's a raised platform bed with the covers tucked, giving it a really fresh modern look! Sorry my screens suck 🙂 pic.twitter.com/WSaYAGibRA
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 25, 2016
@EmilyZeinner Another color I caught going thru 🙂 pic.twitter.com/Os518ljgDh
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 25, 2016
@josema_marrufo hmm if you mean the canopy and the rest of the bed, yes. I'm sure some CC'er will separate it though.
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 25, 2016
@jacob_frittata I love the canopy bed too! Plus it has sheer curtains! Looked great in the livestream with light coming across *gets hyped*
— Emily Zeinner (@EmilyZeinner) September 25, 2016
@Quaay00 It's a festival, yes.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 26, 2016
@Albarran101 @SamWitts2 One.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 26, 2016
@lakesideheights It is under Location. The bonus trait is Home Turf!
— SimGuruSteph (@SimGuruSteph) September 27, 2016
Haha- I don't think they're planned to be in-game (i made them for the demo), but I can put them up on the Gallery after release! https://t.co/cZwlV2itxl
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 26, 2016
@HunnyBunny12306 @SimGuruGraham You can change them whenever from Build mode! (the ones you choose)
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 26, 2016
