you can have backdoors and stuff in apartments in sims 2. They just need a little patio area that has those garden pavers around it like you would with flower beds. The sims can still step over them, and the game sees it as fenced in and part of the apartment or condo/duplex
6:12 - to everyone who dont want to install the mod - with testing cheats on, you can click with shift on the doors to the apartment you like and select this option! sometimes it needs a second try to work
I forgot how ugly that roof is originally, I use a Mansard roof on it now. It makes great apartments or a university building when you play Uni in the Main Hood.
Building apartments does not require a cheat. You just have to set as residential (this allows you to make changes in all common areas), until you are finished building, and then change lot type. Save and play test, if it does not work properly, go back to old save, change lot type back to residential to apply needed fixes, and once done, change lot type, save, then play test again. Yes, in order to keep apartments furnished, you will need a mod for that. Also, apartments allow for sliding glass doors (so, those can be used for back door patios), along with fenced in yards. I made 4 rental row houses, complete with driveways, garages, and back yards (enfenced). I followed a tutorial (sorry, I forget where, but if someone could let me know, I would love to give proper credit to the content creator❣). I do love your apartment building❣Also, have you used or built any flop house apartments?
@@Marticore Honestly, I forgot that was an actual cheat, although all those cheats are needed when world building, so I never consider them cheats, but part of building and terrain tools. I apologize for my error.
This house always made me think of the pink palace from Coraline, which is one of my favorite movies and I really would like to build a pink palace in game
You just unlocked an old memory for me. I remembered I build The Pink Palace in The Sims 3. I even used to have it's plan drawn in one of my diaries. I think it was around 2010. Now I think both the saves with palace and my diary are lost to time...
I don't think so. Was she a moderator? I mean, I think Cindy referred to me as Merta a lot of the times (my Polish channel's name) but I recall there was another Marta who was actually a moderator 🤔
@@Marticore Yes, I think there was a moderator called Marta, and with Cindy's accent, when she referred to you, she sometimes stressed it was Merta. Old times. Nice she's back.
What kind of error do you get? Is it a Windows error or in-game? The Downloads folder is created in Documents on your PC drive, not on the game's CD. Back when Sims 2 was only on disc people could normally use mods and CC and they still can.
I make this house into apartments in every save, it's so fun. I usually put a lift in the octagon tower and the apartment front doors.

Nice trick
I love the idea of remaking this house into an apartment lot!
I feel like 113 Wright Way would also be perfect for it
I always make 113 wright way into little condo apartments.

Thank you!
The option is even fully translated in game, idk why it’s not showing up normally 😅
Marticore channeling her in nyc landlord😂
But this is awesome, makes me want to convert a base game house into an "apartment "( sims4 console player)
She talks about making housing affordable, by definition that makes her the antithesis of a NYC landlord 😂😂
it's not only NYC, it's happening in Poland too 😬
They should make a live action sims movie with all the original families
5:00 that's SO useful! I'll use it to remove every single stereo from my apartment building. I hate that they play salsa music at 3 in the morning
Nareszcie mikrokawalerki w Miłowie :D
Care to elaborate, droog?
I love making apartments in the Sims (2) too! Thank you for sharing this Idea
You CAN include a back door, as long as you keep it fenced in! ❤️😊
Well yes, didn't I say that?
ooooh ive only ever downloaded or placed bin apartments, def doing this in my save and changing the condos to rent! thank you! ❤

But changing to apartment requires a cheat, that's what I meant

You did a great job 👍
Never made an apartment in Sims 2, neither I turned an existing house into an apartment.. This is so interesting, I might try something similar xD
6:30 - Suddenly I am getting university flashbacks.
My fav type of mods
Forcing sims into suffering the same economic strife we are rn
"But hey, free Pizza" lmao

i looooove this house in my game!
I saw the house next to the The Sims 2 entry sign all alone in the corner (09:05 - on the upper right side)... I see it's not only me 🙏😅😁
Makes sense. The house is too big for a single family home. I either make it for two families, or a multigenerational family.
I’ve been gone for a while so I’m sorry if you’ve already mentioned this recently but is Planet Alades coming back?
Yes, in two weeks
@@Marticore yay thank you!
Possibly a strange question. Are you Marta that used to be really involved with Cindy / Pleasant Sims community?
I don't think so. Was she a moderator? I mean, I think Cindy referred to me as Merta a lot of the times (my Polish channel's name) but I recall there was another Marta who was actually a moderator 🤔
@@Marticore Yes, I think there was a moderator called Marta, and with Cindy's accent, when she referred to you, she sometimes stressed it was Merta. Old times. Nice she's back.
@@pspence9569not nice that she is back 😬 she is not a good person.
That apartment cheat is so long i hate it 😂
Will you make a let's play of townieville? 🥺
Yes, one day
Does connected apartment room make the game crashed?
It's always good to do the 4GB patch and increase texture memory in GRM to prevent crashing
Is there a way to download this?
Just heard when you said you wouldnt upload! Thanks! Pretty cool tho
My Sims 2 is only a disc version meaning I can't add anything 😢
Why is EA such a greedy company?
Add what? You can normally have mods and CC in the disc version, you just need to create the Downloads folder like everyone else
@@Marticore usually the disc copies will automatically remove CC since they aren't on the disc copies
@@Marticore if I actually am able to bypass this, I still get hit by an error. Thank for actually tryna help me.

@@Marticore an "unexpected error"
I want this! XD pls?
