Well, obviously all the walls for a singular unit would need to stay together, but walls of different units can stay separate. This is a major problem if, say, you place a music studio of one apartment next to the bedroom of the adjacent apartment, because your neighbor will complain about the noise and won't be able to sleep.Īctually, within the same lot, your walls do not necessarily have to touch. If you outfit some rooms with loud objects (such as anything that makes music or a television), a Sim on the opposite side of the wall might hear it. When building walls, also think about what's going within them. The use of such cheats is outside the scope of our guide (we wouldn't want to be responsible for your lots being all messed up after all!), but if you check out the official Sims 2 website and its message board, you might get some techniques. In fact, a Maxis-made apartment lot is in the game out of the box that has the apartments on different height planes despite the terrain being entirely level. Note that there might be a way to use the cheat codes to get around the above restrictions. It's a bit restrictive, admittedly, but nothing you can't work around. But if the balcony has a staircase that leads down to the front yard, even if the yard is enclosed, the game will get confused. In other words, a door to a fully enclosed balcony will be okay. However, if you try giving ALL the apartments a backdoor that all open to the same backyard, the game will be confused.īalconies are allowed as well, but the balcony must not change elevation. For example, if you enclose a section of the backyard for a garden or whatnot with a fence without a gate, that is acceptable. You can put down a secondary door only if it leads to an enclosed area that only your Sim can access. There is a restriction on other external doors. Our example doesn't use garages because it stands on a foundation, as you can see from the screenshots. If you have no garages, the placement of the front door doesn't matter. Or, to be direct: you must have the front door on the ground rather than the foundation if you plan on having a garage. That means, go ahead and build that giant pool even if the complex is intended for low-income Sims they won't have to pay a cent on it!Īlso note that in order to use garages, the garage and the front door must be on the same height plane. Note that any area NOT contained within walls-that is, any common area-will not be factored into the rent cost for your tenants. Start with the walls as usual, but make sure you leave a lot of space for yards and such. Once you've got the zone ready, head into it as if you're pre-building any house. You'll want to have a large common area in addition to the houses themselves we explain why in the Apartment Living section, as well as in the next step. (What's the point of having a one-unit "complex," after all?) We recommend a lot at least 4x3 or so. You'll want to zone the lot relatively large, because you'll more than likely want several apartments on the same lot. Be sure to zone it Residential, not Commercial. On the neighborhood screen, simply create a new lot and name it what you wish.
From everything I’ve read it sounds like people have all kinds of different experiences that really just boil down to whoever they get on the other end.Getting started with your apartment complex is as easy as any other house lot. The representative I got was so nice and friendly, and I think just being polite and appreciative really goes a long way.
#Sims 2 apartment life code key download#
Said I had my mom email me the code, was there any way to use it to get The Ultimate Collection? Yup! Gave her my code and the name of the expansion it belonged to, and she put it on my Origin account for download just like that. I knew going in that sometimes people are asked for photographic evidence, so right off the bat in the customer support chat I gave them a schpeal about how my parents found the case from one of my old games, played dumb to the entire process. I just got it yesterday, actually! Awhile back someone on here kindly DM’ed me a code key they had off one of the expansions for TS2.
