They're colored like after dinner mints! The good buttery ones! Yet another lot where I want to live in real life, but can't, so I'll send my sims.

These are very cute. I also love your idea of making separate lots, for people who don't have Apartment Life.

Rather than using the existing 1x1 lots, have you thought about using the LotAdjuster to make fake row houses? Plasticbox has an excellent tutorial which would allow your new 1x1 lots to be placed side-by-side in a neighborhood, with the same overall effect as this all-in-one lot.

These are beautiful work, as usual. Thank so much for sharing your creations with us. I love your houses so much, and have downloaded all of your victorians. In fact, I created a 'victorian row' so I could have them all in my neighborhood! Not only are your houses and landscaping cute, colorful, and full of personality, they are well-laid-out and readily playable, as well. Kudos to you!

What a wonderful compliment!

I have a huge smile plastered across my face at the moment because of you. One of the things I strive for is playability...I dont want my lots to just look good..I want to actually play them. So the fact that you noticed that really makes my day....week....

These apartments look absolutely awesome! I immediately fell in love with this creation...just one problem though, and maybe it's only in my game but I wonder in that case why - the apartment unit on the left, the biggest one, appears to be unrentable. When I go on the door with the mouse it says vacant but I can't click on it and no rent dialogue appears. Sims can still walk in and out but no one actually goes living there. My Sims family live in the central unit but I'd love for the other two apartments to be both occupied. Please help?

I have not had that problem...I have a family living in that unit, as a matter of fact. I suspect it might just be a glitch, but I will play around with it on another computer to see if I can duplicate the problem you are having.

It's funny that you made these, because AL has a pretty interesting collection of apartments, and Maxis created their own rendition of The Painted Ladies. Was this supposed to be an adapted makeover for other EPs?

Thanks for sharing with us. It's too big for me, though.
