The Ocean View Apartments are now up to code, and quite habitable They are constructed with family safety first in mind.
The Patels are overjoyed with their new digs - in fact, they are planning to name their new baby after Cat. If it's a girl, that is.



These buildings were in really bad shape. Cat was actually in a state of shock when the initial inspection report came back: asbestos, termites, leaks, ancient wiring, crumbling plaster, broken windows, lead paint, cracked cement, etc. ...Did you realize the old brick facade was really just a facade? A shell? This is actually a wood frame building!

Well, the first thing Cat did - after relocating the Patels - was gut the entire building. Everything was tossed out - all the way down to the studs. Then the repairs started... I'll spare you the gruesome details, but it took quite a while to bring everything up to code! Now that the construction is finished, a new management company has taken over the property and they are proud to offer four (well, three, after the Patels move back in) brand new moderately priced apartments for you to choose from. Actually, with all the energy-saving improvements, the rent is now slightly less than before Each apartment features a semi-private front courtyard, living room, dining room, eat-in kitchen, powder room, plus a private patio with gas-grill on the first level. Upstairs, the apartments have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious landing area accented by a beautiful over-sized stained glass window, and a secret. The secret? Behind the second "closet" door in the master bedroom is a winding staircase. That staircase leads up to your own secret lair, laboratory, exercise room, playroom, attic, whatever you need extra room for! Please see the overhead floor-plan pictures (above) for complete details.

Each apartment is lightly (yet, fully) furnished with mostly IKEA furniture. The small decorative touches are yours to add; personalizing each apartment as your sims see fit. Each apartment includes a burglar alarm, an invisible fire alarm in the kitchen, wall phones on each level, a hi-end computer, bookshelf, and either an easel or a potter's wheel out on the patio. In addition, there is communal playground equipment centrally located in the main courtyard and two family grilling/picnic areas at the back of the complex.



Don't forget to look at the floor-plan pictures above! And the neighborhood placement picture, so you know which building this is.

Important info! Please read!
The original Ocean View apartments are located in Belladonna Cove. The Patel family is living there. If you have not yet played the Patels then it is safe to evict them - they will go into the sim-bin. Bulldoze the original EAxis lot and replace it with this new improved version. Then select the Patels from the sim-bin and have them choose which shiny new apartment they'd like to live in.
DO NOT evict the Patels if you have already played them! It will break any social connections they have made in the hood.

Alternatively - you can use this building in any other neighborhood, rename it anything you'd like, and play it however you want to
