There is one problem with this lot: that little flat "fence" that marks the borders between kitchen and living room/hallway makes the game see it as the apartment's border, and everything that's on the opposite side of it than the entrance door is not considered part of the apartment. Which isn't much of a problem in apartment like 4, where it's just the kitchen appliances behind it and there's no need to change much about them, but in 6 - which happened to be the one my Sims rented - the kitchen and small bathroom is pretty much the entirety of the rented, editable part x'D

Other than that, tho, those are really nice apartments, after removing the fences and moving my Sims back in it's been fun to play there. I think my favourite apartment is 5, I like those brick walls and how they fit with the blue colour scheme.

Yeah, I built this so long ago I didn't know that the fences would cause a problem, thank you for the comment, because I forgot to change it lol. I'm glad you like the build anyway :D

I edited the file, it's without the fences now, thank you once again for remembering me that I was stupid building this lol

hi! first, i love this build SO much. it uses a relatively small amount of space so well. the exterior + interior architecture are beautiful. i love the idea of my sims having an indoor garden/atrium of sorts. one issue i've been having though, most of the garden spaces are registered as 'indoor' spaces and are super dark in-game. i fiddled with it a little in build mode to see if i could change this, it's strange because it says things like "hunt for bugs" in live mode, but when i try to place an outdoor item in that area in neighborhood build mode, it says "must be outdoors", indicating the game thinks this area is indoors (?) the only apartments this doesn't effect are the green + red apartments, which i think may be because their garden spaces face the outdoors/exterior directly. any thoughts on how to fix? either way, it's not going to stop me from playing this build with the couple garden apartments because i just love the design, although i'd love to be able to utilize them all. thanks so much for this creation <3

Atriums are simply a room/interior without floor so when it comes to dark spaces I can only recommend lighting up the outdoor lamp I placed even during a day Placing objects might be irritating in Sims 2 apartments, moveobjects usually helps with it, but maybe not for all objects I'm glad you like this build anyway <3 Some things we can't change in this game

Hello! I love this build so much and want to use it, but after placing it in the game half of the furniture disappears. O.O Any idea why? Also, the windows get red recolor, lol. xD Thanks!

Hi, you have to use a code! It is possible to rent an apartment with all of its furnishings by enabling testingcheatsenabled, shift+clicking on the door of the apartment you would like to rent, and selecting "Rent Furnished":D
