R|E 0.2.0 and Bills 0.5.0 - Quarterly Release
🕑 Added 2022-04-24 03:07:35 +0000 UTCAfter much testing and prep work, I can finally release TWO Patreon updates to our mods. Yes, TWO mods are being updated because we couldn't do one without the other. This is going to be a trend for the next few updates since R|E touches SNB and vice versa.
Sorry, it took so long, but I hope you all love the changes we made!
R|E 0.2.0
Summary of Changes
We added/changed the following:
- Improved R|E UI: Some changes in the aesthetic look of the R|E phone menu. UI, and notification system to assist in the process of buying and selling homes.
- Improved Buying Process: Updates to include a more robust selling system to handle multiple property ownership as well as make the process more efficient for Simmers.
- Multiple Properties Management: The main attraction of the 0.2.0 update is the ability to purchase multiple properties even while having a rental as the main residence. This also includes the ability to manage all your Sim's properties from their phone.
- SNB - Bills Update: We wouldn't add the ability to own multiple properties without first also updating Bills to make sure your Sim's are properly taxed and Billed. Be sure you have the 0.5.0 version of Bills in order for R|E 0.2.0 to function properly!

Yes, you should be able to go back to your rented property if it is secondary. For additional support on Private Practice, make sure you have the latest version I released today and head on over to our Discord.
I think I've resolved it in my game, I removed the private practice mod it's not happening anymore, and once that mod was removed and the battle is always started correctly :-). Also, apartments not being listed as an owned property makes total sense, since we don't own them. But I'm curious what would happen in the case if you select "make main home" option? Would you be able to get back to the rented property, or is it simply lost? I do like to use the apartments with some sims to fit their lifestyle. I just wish EA had made that whole system better (like, for example allowing you to buy instead of rent.. but that's EA's fault) Perhaps they could be listed under manage properties, but without options to sell or rent out etc, so effectively, giving only the option to select as main home - much like real life. Simply as a means to get back to it if you select another property as main for a while? Sorry, I don't mean to sound like I'm asking for tons of stuff! I've only just started using your mods, so I'm still getting used to them :-)

The battle issue sounds like a support need. Please go to our Discord for additional support on that. I had no issues running through the battle sequence. Rental Lots are not owned by your Sim but by EA's fictional landlords. They shouldn't be listed as owned by your Sim. You can sell the lot and then purchase it again to split the household. The value should hold. In real life, you normally have to transfer a deed here in the US. Making this interaction similar to that transaction. Thanks so much for your feedback!
Tried it out last night. Aside from going to the final deal (to battle) sometimes abandoning, where everyone just leaves immediately and event doesn't start, and leaves you alone at the new lot, although not always so it seems random, reloading game fixes it though - it works really well, but it is alpha, so no worries! (also, rented apartments (primary lot) don't show in owned properties, not sure if intentional or not) One minor thing I would like to suggest though, is the split household option remaining available even after purchase on property management that way we could buy the house, renovate it with existing household inventory/funds and then throw the kids out into their own home once finished, that would be pretty cool and convenient. Beyond that, great work so far, looking forward to the other features being unlocked for us, like the vacation option! Thanks!

If you have the plumfruit mod, this will cause the option to be hidden. You can access Bills through the mailbox instead. If you don't have this mod, then visit us on Discord for more assistance.

I can't find the snb bills option on the phone in game

As mentioned previously, that is what we are working on this month with Financial Center. That requires a third mod to also be updated in order to facilitate that kind of transaction on R|E.

Can I take out a mortgage with this update?

Rental Management hasn't been implemented yet. We ran out of time making the multiple properties work outside off EA's system and will fully flesh out rentals sometime this Summer.
I’m trying to make the properties rentals, it says not implemented yet. How do I do this?

The testing schedule lays out who gets when.
