It's actually kind of accidentally subversive due to being so broken and buggy:

  • Being a landlord is basically a full time job due to the amount of work (tasks and events) you actually have to do.

  • Most tenants either rarely or never have to actually pay the rent due to bugs.

  • It's basically impossible to collect fines for breach of tenancy agreement.

  • Even if the landlord is basically perfect the tenants just protest them anyway (because of the way event probabilities are scripted, but I like to think it's because it's still inherently unjust to be a parasite landlord)

  • Even in the case of 'justified evictions' or even tenants just deciding to move out, a bug causes the landlord to have to pay them a penalty legal fee anyway for the disruption caused to their life.

And yes, my Sims is also pirate-jammin
