I'm not a fan of most apartments that came with apartment life, and although there's plenty great ones to download, I wanted something that was similar to the apartment buildings I've seen in my life. I took the features I liked from each, and combined them into this building.
The key focus is the public roof top area, where your Sims can barbecue, work out, play chess, paint, or just soak up the sun while the kids play in the playground. Additionally, it has a bar, a hot-tub, and a sauna, as well as a restroom and showers. I also wanted the lobby to be inviting and nice to come home to each day.
Lot size is 3x4, and it holds 12 apartments, with four different layouts. Two large, eight medium (two slightly different types, four each) and two small.
The prices vary slightly between apartments, so I'll note down the range.
Large apartments cost 3933-4138 in rent, and 68,456-73,159 to purchase if you rent it fully furnished. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms.
Medium apartments cost 2947-3029 in rent, and 40,997-46,177 to purchase if you rent it fully furnished. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms.
Small apartments cost 1691-1693 in rent, and 25,954-26,183 to purchase if you rent it fully furnished. Sleeping alcove, one bathroom.
(How to rent fully furnished below)
I've used minimal amounts of custom content, as I find it annoying when people include loads of things. The lot has:
- Three wallpapers (I wanted the lobby/hallways to be nice, and Maxis had nothing that I liked) INCLUDED!
- One wooden floor (same as above) INCLUDED!
- One-tile desk versions of Maxis desks (Great for saving space, and something I think most people would find use for in any lot) INCLUDED!
- White recolor of Ektorp 2-tile sofa (Maxis should have added it themselves. Also something I think most people would want to have)
Out of these, the only ones that are required are the desks (if you don't get them, you need to edit the lot and remove them as they are replaced by two tile desks that would go through the wall). The rest you can skip if you'd like, but you'd have to add your own wallpapers and floors to the lobby and hallways.
Recommended, but not required:
Ektorp recolor for 2-tile sofa, white, by Menaceman44 (Here: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=303489)
Included:
Kittypicks wallpapers BlueMedium, Cranberry and Stem Green, by Simkitty181 (Here: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=437687)
Heaven in your eyes wooden floor, by Lina (Here: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=473513)
One-tile versions of Maxis desks Tibetan, Bakonmi, Counter Productive and Retratech, by HugeLunatic (Here: http://www.modthesims.info/d/370799)
All credit to them for their creations. I did not make them, I merely used them in this lot. If you like them, you should go give them a thanks in the threads =)
I want to apologize for the lot requiring all expansions and stuff packs. I would have loved to use Any game starter, but I can't due to the game versions I have not being compatible with the program.
All apartment types have been play-tested for minimum 3 days, medium/small with pets and roomies, and large with kids and pets. I had no problems getting to car-pool/bus in time, and I didn't come across any problems. Some of the toilets would be better swapping things around, but I wanted this to be compatible with having pets, and that layout was necessary to give dogs a bath.
If you want to rent these apartments fully furnished, you either need to use a boolprop cheat, or download a mod. I recommend using Pescado's hack over at MATY .
I used Numenor's SEP-mod to place kitchen appliances in corners. If you would like to be able to do so as well, you need the mod. You do not need the mod for this lot to work, you will be able to use everything regardless.

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.

About my creations
--- Currently retired from creating due to health reasons ----
--- No longer sharing content on MTS ---
I hope to return one day but for now consider me retired, and my uploads unsupported. I still share things sometimes on tumblr and I chat on discord servers, but I do not promise support for things I've shared as I don't know when or if I'm around and whether or not I'll have the ability and energy to do something if I am around.
If you ever downloaded something of mine, thank you! It's a great feeling seeing something you spent time on be useful to someone else in their game, and with all the great CC out there I'm very flattered you would choose to get something of mine.
I do not take requests. I do sometimes make things for people, but only when I see someone wishing for something on the forums and I feel like making it for them. So if you have a mod you wish would exist, make a post in Hacks and CC that you'd like to see!-thread. That's what it's there for after all! :)
A shoutout to VioletPadfoot for inspiring me to try creating, long ago. You gave me the nudge that got me started, and I'm very grateful. I'd also like to thank all of the wonderful experienced creators (gdayars, justJones, maybesomethingdunno, NixNivis, whoward69, HugeLunatic and many more) out there that wrote the tutorials I've used, or that has answered my questions when I've gotten stuck. You guys are what makes learning fun, and what inspires me to keep expanding my knowledge with new projects. Special thanks to Michelle who has helped me a lot when it comes to objects and recolors, and BoilingOil who taught me some modding basics that I needed when I started modding more seriously.
Policy
My policy is now open. I'd appreciate a message telling me about your work, because it's fun for me to see, and it means I know about it and can refer others to it if they reach out. As much as I would like to provide support for my own work, my health is too unstable and I have to prioritize. So if anyone else would like to fix problems or continue something and share it with others, that's great go forth :) If you can learn from my work or improve on it, wonderful. Welcome to ask questions on crafters, if I can I'll answer.
I'd appreciate if people do not share default replacements from my stuff as I do not like default replacements, but I can't stop you anyway so no point in acting like I could. If you want to respect my wishes, I appreciate it, if you don't care then well nothing I can do about it.
Other sites
Only share content on tumblr now. Still retired though so probably nothing, but if something new comes out, that's where it'll be. You can find it linked here on my profile.
