Thanks toyou1214. This is my first uploaded building. Had a lot of fun figuring out how to do it and playing it when I got it up and going. I just checked out your Modern Country Club lot. Very cool. Downloaded it and will try it out when I patch my games. Cheers, mate.

I might download this. Would be great with lockable doors! You could move a family of 8 and have them live in the different apartments.

DarkSilence: Let me know how it goes with lockable doors if you try that. I plan on doing that myself at some point.

It works pretty good! If you download multiowner doors, then create a family consisting of 3 smaller families. My family had 3 couples, the third couple had 2 children. Then using a mod that allows more than 8 people per family, get one of the childless couples to give birth. I did a test run, and apart from the phone ringing in all apartments at the same time (I just removed them) and when people visit one family they essesntially visit both, it's really good for apartments!

The only annoying thing is if a visitor is a guest of one family you have to keep adding and removing access of the doors when they come and go.

Far out DarkSilence! Thanks for play testing the "Multi Owners Door" in my apartments. Sounds like apartment life all right. I already have them downloaded to disk. And now I even have all the huge game patch files downloaded, yikes, 386MB of them, plus 19MB for the new EADM. Huge backup, uninstall, reinstall coming. Then I will be able use the doors myself. Too bad it doesn't have my favorite door, the er, uh, Dorky door.

Thanks SimShady08, much appreciated! I have a link to the Frikets Sims Building by Patul here at MTS on the overview page of my Compact 9 Story building which has a further link to http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=360606 which is a tutorial on how to use the CFE cheat used to create partially faux buildings taller than five stories. It's a bit tricky so follow the tutorial carefully, saving as you go, and backing up to an earlier save if it goes wrong. Good luck, mate!

You might be interested in my other buildings, if you liked this one, which can be found by following the link on my Alan_of_Dale username homepage here at MTS, which takes you to the TSR website where I mainly submit my creations. Cheers from Australia.
