This was the concept I had in mind while designing this project. I built the shell like a city industrial building, and went from there. It is not based on an actual building or a remodel of an existing building.


Building features:
2 street-facing studio apartments with private balcony perfect for singles and couples
2 rear-facing townhome apartments (1-2 Bedroom) with private garden perfect for couples, room-mates, and small families
1 public rooftop garden area
1 public relaxation area
2 parking spaces
4 bike stands
Free Store Items Used:
Honeycomb Bookshelf
Earth Day Plants
No Custom Content Required.
I have provided multi-family and individual apartment versions. I play tested each version and have not noticed any problems.
In the individual apartment versions, all other apartments are empty and include necessary hidden room markers and npc door flags.
Choose your own appartment!!

******Notes******
- There occasionally seems to be a strange bug when placing the lots down and a dark black triangle will appear before the doors. I do not know what causes this.
If this happens to you, what seems to work for me is the following:
1. use the cheat (Ctrl + shift + C): testingcheatsenabled true
2. input the code: restrictbuildbuyinbuildings false
3. Pick- up and replace the public room marker in the area in front of the door.
4. input the code: testingcheatsenabled false
5. input the code: restrictbuildbuyinbuildings true
6. move in sims - If you like to play with laundry facilities, I recommend adding them in place of the water-closets on the kitchen level of the townhomes and/or in place of the stack of boxes in the "utility room" on the rooftop.
- Pizza delivery will bug out in your neighborhood if player-made apartments are placed in your neighborhood, before a pre-made EA apartment exists. You MUST place an EA pre-made apartment somewhere in your neighborhood and save the game before you place this lot, if you do not want this to occur!!!!!!!!!! See my post on pizza glitch
- Please see the apartment tutorial here to understand how the NPC doors function.
- If you want to control more than 8 sims, you will need either Twallan's Master Controller or the AwesomeMod, Allow Overstuffed Houses setting
- You may want to consider one of Flyby's Door modifications to assign doors to families.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
2. Select the .sims3pack file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
5. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Select the house icon, find the lot in the list, and tick the box next to it. Then press the Install button below the list.
6. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the lot to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
7. Run the game, and find your lot in Edit Town, in the premade lots bin.
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
