Sims 4 players have found what might be a build mode bug but we're all hoping is a new feature

Ahead of The Sims 4: For Rent expansion launch tomorrow, Maxis has published a routine patch with small updates and fixes to the base game. But players have spotted at least one change that wasn't listed in the patch notes: We can finally edit the walls and windows on apartments from current game packs. It may even be an unintended bug, but we're all hoping that it's actually a feature.

Tomorrow's For Rent expansion is adding truly multi-family lots to the game, but it won't be the first time apartment life has made it into the game. Some neighborhoods, like the one from the City Living expansion, added individual apartment-like units for our Sims to live in. We've been able to renovate the interior walls and furnishings in those lots, of course, but windows have always been off limits.

As spotted by some Sims 4 content creators, and shown in Pixelade's video above, the premade apartment units in The Sims 4's City Living expansion are more customizable than they were previously. Pixelade shows how windows can be moved, added, and removed, and exterior wall finishes can be changed too, though the exterior walls understandably still can't be moved. As noted in SatchOnSims' video though, you can also hang wall decor like mirrors and curtains on the exterior of those apartments, which is a bit silly. So is it a bug or a feature? Or a feature with a bug? Sims players, and I as a building freak among them, are really hoping it's a feature.

Of course, you can't go moving your windows around and installing curtains on the side of a high rise in real life, but this is The Sims. If it ain't broke, maybe it should be. Working around existing windows was part of the challenge in furnishing an apartment unit before. Now that we're
