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, and here for Part 2.
@SimGuruDaniel @Quaay00 I'm assuming this was in reply to a question about flea markets?

@AhmedKallala @TheSims Painting skill.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 28, 2016
@Nuclearxpotato The camera does some tethering to prevent drop off.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 23, 2016
@Albarran101 @Nuclearxpotato A bit, but kind of a different case.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 28, 2016
Who's ready for some mural painting? https://t.co/Y9Fgxisahu
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 28, 2016
@SimulationSims You can place them wherever you can build. The are also ones to paint in the open street (where you can't build).
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 28, 2016
@SimmingFan3000 Just for painting.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 28, 2016
@SimGuruDaniel @SimGuruJM @SimGuruJill @SimGuruRomeo Could anyone confirm if the new recipes will be available for Dine Out restaurants? =)
— AndrĂ© Felipe (@andrefelipez) September 30, 2016
@artsyfrankie @andrefelipez @SimGuruJM @SimGuruJill @SimGuruRomeo Yes.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 30, 2016
@Cinderellimouse @SimGuruJill @SimGuruRomeo All of the above.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) September 30, 2016
@catloverplayer There's a special new UI that shows the layout of the apartment units in the building.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 3, 2016
@crystaldacity @HazzaPlumbob @Sathos_voice If you move the camera far enough it will drop down.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 3, 2016
@platinumsimmers @SimGuruJM Yup!
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 4, 2016
@Cinderellimouse @Vane_Sims @platinumsimmers @SimGuruJM Both!
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 6, 2016
@Vane_Sims @platinumsimmers @SimGuruJM Not double-sided, the frame has color options.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 6, 2016
@PleaseNoPics @SimGuruJM Yup!
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 6, 2016
@ke_Wired It's a special lot, similar to the bluffs.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 6, 2016
@MrDantastical Yes.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 11, 2016
@luthsthings @SimGuruJM No, rent is fixed.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 11, 2016
@KellynSpark It works like the instruments for kids. They have to max Creativity skill before it unlocks.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 11, 2016
@ZerbuTabek Most of them can. A few are specific to festivals.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 13, 2016
@catloverplayer Don't believe so.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 14, 2016
.@pascalio5 @ZerbuTabek You will be able to review restaurant food as a food critic.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 14, 2016
@TheSimCommunity @pascalio5 @ZerbuTabek Yes.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 14, 2016
You'll be able to create a lot of new restaurant menus with #TS4CityLiving! https://t.co/Ax473uvhu2
— Megan G (@SimGuruMegs) September 30, 2016
@Ceres_Meiriona no new deaths are associated with Lot Traits specifically.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) September 22, 2016
@catloverplayer Yes you will get a notification telling you the Festival is in town.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) September 30, 2016
I know a lot of you have been asking. Yes the new recipes will work with restaurants. Ramen restaurant anyone?
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) September 30, 2016
@Ariadne357 Yes. Once you eat a recipe at a food stall you will be able to cook it at home.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) September 30, 2016
NPC Sims will paint murals. The player will be able to clean off the mural and start from scratch just like paintings.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) September 30, 2016
Over time NPC Sims might deface your Murals. You will need to restore them. The player can also clean the mural and start from scratch.
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) September 30, 2016
@EmmaGuyan Unflirty trait. It is a throwback to Sims 3
— Antonio Romeo (@SimGuruRomeo) September 30, 2016
@seththesimmer The Talking Toilet is amazing…just sayin'
— Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) October 5, 2016
@_SofiaMia There are no current plans to add any, but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen in the future. What colors would you like to see?
— Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) October 11, 2016
@Bellguru8 @_SofiaMia We definitely hope to add more curly hair in the future.
— Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) October 11, 2016
.@pascalio5 @SimsVIP You will be able to review food as a critic in a GP restaurant with the City Living Critic Career.
— Sarah Holding (@SimGuruSarah) October 14, 2016
@Cinderellimouse @SimGuruRomeo Yep, murals stay put for a while and fade with time. Sims can clean them up if they want to start a new one.
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 1, 2016
@artsyfrankie Yes, you totally can use those in your Dine Out menus 🙂 Does that mean I get a million dollars? =D
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 1, 2016
@Going4Quests We've only made it special for apartments so far 🙂
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 1, 2016
@luthsthings @SimGuruRomeo Pretty sure you'll need to hire one for on-lot. @SimGuruRomeo could you confirm?
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 1, 2016
@LunarLadySimmer Yes to both! Kids on the Karaoke Machine is the most adorable thing in the universe.
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 1, 2016
@cyberqueen13 Oh sorry I realize I didn't elaborate on that enough. The world is still 1 level. The people you see in the outskirts are VFX.
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 1, 2016
@MelissaGamesYT @SimGuruRomeo Yes, the City Native trait comes with the "Home Turf" bonus trait.
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 1, 2016
@MelissaGamesYT @SimGuruRomeo Home Turf trait means these Sims become happy when they are in their home neighborhood. Awwwwww 🙂 🙂
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 1, 2016
@Going4Quests @SimGuruRomeo please fact check me, but I'm assuming this is a yes.
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 1, 2016
@TheSimmerAbby @jacob_frittata @SimGuruRomeo yeah, not the hair-heaviest pack but I hope the variety of awesome clothes make up for it 🙂
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 1, 2016
@DoodleMarley sorry, yup – phrased that a little weird. It's just a normal decorative rug, but it's still AWESOME!
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 2, 2016
@DoodleMarley @SimGuruRomeo @SimGuruJM @SimGuruSteph It's a standard regular venue type that you can place anywhere!
— Jill Johnson (@SimGuruJill) October 2, 2016
@kimswift_13 loading screen when visiting neighbors, but no loading screens to go down to the open street or when hanging in common area!
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 28, 2016
@aadricn yup!
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 28, 2016
@MartuNintzel you can redecorate/rebuild the interiors of any and all apartments on a lot. 🙂
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 28, 2016
@Sulucorp @TheSims karaoke for sure! Having a dad who's great at singing sing a duet with their kid who is just starting out is the funniest
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 28, 2016
@AhmedKallala You need to be an activist/politician to start a protest, but anyone can join one that's already happening!
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 29, 2016
@Peytontrix14 yup!
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) September 29, 2016
@tazreentasnim It's inspired by the beautiful Bay Bridge Lights here in SF!
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) October 1, 2016
@Ceres_Meiriona @SimGuruJill @SimGuruRomeo yup! Sims can protest anywhere
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) October 1, 2016
@platinumsimmers @ThePlumbob @SimGuruSarah it is! A ground level regular lot in the Spice Market
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) October 4, 2016
https://t.co/QSRstptKhQ So so excited to have worked on such a rad feature. Y'all are going to love Duets and all the songs are so catchy! pic.twitter.com/rEWrFRwCdO
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) October 4, 2016
@wessimmer not really – they'll always sing as close to the right key/pitch as their skill level dictates.
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) October 7, 2016
@_SofiaMia No, this one does not. It's just for painting on!
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) October 10, 2016
@SimGuruJM @SimGuruHouts @SimGuruSteve Is it at all possible for me to make an evil, money hungry politician?
— Swiftly Simmer (@SwiftlySimmer) October 13, 2016
Absolutely! There's a Ask for Bribe interaction and everything! https://t.co/M9YJ75UaD1
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) October 13, 2016
@HendrikWillems1 PR and Internet Personality!
— JM Sudsina (@SimGuruJM) October 13, 2016
@OlegKushakov @luthsthings @SimGuruJM The rent won't change.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 14, 2016
@OlegKushakov @SimGuruJM They'll still have to pay an increased deposit cost for the furnishings.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 14, 2016
@catloverplayer Because each apartment only works with its own specific perimeter, we don't support apartment upload to gallery.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 15, 2016
@catloverplayer We do support room upload/download in apartments, and house upload/download from penthouses.
— Daniel Hiatt (@SimGuruDaniel) October 15, 2016
