Sims can technically live there, they just can’t own the single lot.
There are no loading screens in Brookheights and Sims can do things like rent a lodge in the Greenmount Forest, go to a Broadstreet Musical, drive a car, go to the gym, graveyard, outdoor-cinema, City Hall, grocery store and more. They are buildings that are either ?Open Venues? or ?Rabbitholes?. This was made possible when I started creating interactive shell buildings a few months ago. In Brookheights, there?s a single active lot in the middle, and a huge playable & interactive area all around. The way this open world works is different than the ones in The Sims 3 though.
