It looks like the next Sims 4 expansion leaked, and assuming the information is true, we’re getting rental properties in the life sim game. The leak comes from Instant Gaming, an online store with a pretty solid track record of leaking previous Sims 4 expansions, and while not every Simmer is convinced, there are a few details that make it seem legit.
The expansion, named just “Rental Houses” on Instant Gaming, reportedly lets your Sims buy and manage rental properties as landlords or move into multi-occupancy buildings – apartments, in other words – to live closely with your neighbors.

Sims dataminer and Twitter user Anadius posted a more robust description that says you can do everything from renting out basement rooms to building apartments and using new lots for duplexes. Rentals currently exist in The Sims 4, but only as vacation getaways for your Sims.
“From potlucks to evictions, there’s a lot to do and a whole new world to do it in,” the leaked description reads on Instant Gaming.
That world is Tomarang, complete with an animal shelter and a bustling night market. The description from Anadius and Instant Gaming also mentions street food items up for grabs as pre-order incentives, including a grill cart and street umbrella. EA and Maxis recently launched an item pack with an emphasis on cooking up street food, so that particular tidbit has me thinking this is probably true.
If so, EA will reportedly be launching The Sims 4 Rental Homes on Dec. 7, 2023, for PC and console.
