Karen, Donna and I were talking about about apartment building the other day, my comment was its tedious but always go back for more, Karen dosnt mind it and Donna – well she reckons she will never build one!
So its time she did, and anyone else that has never given it a go!

So even if you do not have Apartment life you can still build one, check out Tricamanlys awesome lots if you dont believe me!
And if you want to upload it go right ahead because Im sure one of us with Apartment life can convert it!

Here is a tutorial on how to build them https://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=299623 and if you want them on a foundation with a backdoor and closed in garden I have done a Tutorial for that https://www.simfansuk.com/sims/tutorials/building-5/building-apartments-on-foundation-with-a-private-backyard-464/

This is really a free for all, you can have any style you want, be it luxury apartments, high rise, or even a suburban street. BUT they must ALL be furnished, even if its just basic furnishings. And just to note, apartments are only able to have four playable sim families in them, all the rest will generate NPC’s.

So go give it a go, its to challenge your skills and maybe make some new ones (and maybe help a certain person finish a certain lot – Karen Lorraine! :D)

Ooh, I like this one! Would I be able to take an existing lot and convert it, or should it be a brand, new creation?

Please post all support requests in the forums if at all possible

Haha!! I think kaz is probably thinking I’m the one that should be finishing my apartments lol!!! I am in the middle of two near-complete apartment lots and an apartment building which is rather large. I’ll see what I can get done. Can’t make any promises though.

Amstelkade

This is a terrace of seven houses, typical of the kind that you might find if you visited Amsterdam. The houses are very tall and narrow, which makes them very difficult to build in Sims, I’m hoping that I’ve succeeded. Have I?

Each house is decorated in different colours and styles and has a different combination of rooms to appeal to every type of person from the family minded to the professional.

Working from the left of the terrace each house has:

I haven’t taken a picture of all the rooms this time as there are so many.

Floor layout plans, working from left to right

The next set of houses

And now for some internal pictures to whet your appetite 🙂

Communal areas

And there you have it, the Amsterdam project complete 🙂

Re: Apartment Living – Open until the end of March

Thank you Tiff, glad it lived up to your expectations. I could have added more clutter and other stuff but the game was badly lagging as it was and it would have added to my huge list of cc!

I would never have the patience for something like this, I dread to think how long it took. Absolutely fantastic!
