Omg glad I found this! I always found it so annoying how we got apartments in TS3 but if we created our own they didn’t function properly. Thanks for the tutorial!
When Ani has used her apartment controller on her channel, she said she just has one of the sims that live in the apartments get the No Bills Ever lifetime reward. If I don't want the game assigning sims jobs when I'm not playing them I give them the Unemployed career that came with NRAAS Careers. For TS2 style rotational gameplay, I've found the easiest to use is Buzzler's Aging Manager. I think Ani's latest version of her Mod of Randomness can do it too. Story Progression was just too complicated imo.
Story progression is a pain lol. What I started doing was putting all households in stasis using story progression mod and only taking the household im playing out. It stopped all aging and helped with sims getting random jobs but never solved it completely.
I have a similar situation in a npc apartment with two usable apartments attached. I lock my doors off for certain sims but they keep wanting to get inside the locked areas and they always throw a tantrum. I do wish there was a fix for that. Other than that, it works fine. Thanks for the video
If you use nraas gohere mod it should stop the sims from trying to enter areas they can’t get to! The only time my sims try to enter the wrong apartment is if I try to auto solve a need by clicking on a moodlet. Otherwise they seem to go to objects that aren’t behind locked doors!
My new video on apartments has an explanation at the end for how I set up sims 2 style rotational play in apartments! And it could really apply to the whole town as well.
I have a couple of tutorials uploaded showing how, but the short of it is I use a mod called Zerbu Ultimate Careers mod that allows for active careers and schools.
Sorry for the delayed response! I am not sure why that would be happening. It should definitely remove them from the side. Are they still playable or marked as roommates when you switch?
If you mean the one where I built grocery store or school I just bulldoze the lot and build a new lot from scratch. You could also place a new lot in edit town mode, and set the lot type to whatever you prefer.
Is there a way to darken apartments that are not currently hosting the active family? I liked this feature in the sims 2 where the inactive families were a bit more mysterious because you couldn’t see what they were doing.
You will move them in all at once! If you already have families living in the apartment and want to add another you can merge the household. The division of the families is done using the apartment controller, so the family is still TECHNICALLY one household even though the money and households are split up by apartment.
I have actually started a different world instead bc I wasn’t feeling the desert anymore bahaha. I will probably do some build videos bc I have to build a new school and everything.
does anyone know how to stop roommates from appearing when making own apartment? i made my own and roommates started coming over which made me lock my door but they still won't leave. i don't have the disable roommates option for some reason
Sometimes you have to turn roommate services on and off! That’s a weird glitch I haven’t had it happen specifically with the apartments but I have had it happen randomly in a normal house. See if enabling then disabling roommate services works!

I'd love to see the build series and lets play ! This is super cool.
Tysm! I will record a building video or two this weekend :)

@@LitrallyAJ Okay. Thanks I will try that! ☺️
Could you please upload the apartments? they’re so cute
Im interested in watching your builds too
thanks so much for this video!! i am also playing rotationally so this was awesome :)
Would love to see how you set up for rotational play!

wow this is so cool thank you! 💗
Thanks for this! So helpful
Thank you for watching :)
How are you creating the jobs / rabbit holes? It's cool that you can see them actually working.
I have a couple of tutorials uploaded showing how, but the short of it is I use a mod called Zerbu Ultimate Careers mod that allows for active careers and schools.
hey! thanks! this video is so important
For me unfortunately when I switch family the other members still show on the left how I change that
Sorry for the delayed response! I am not sure why that would be happening. It should definitely remove them from the side. Are they still playable or marked as roommates when you switch?
Hello! Quick question, how do you get rid of the lot to start remaking it as an open lot on your rabbit hole mod videos?
If you mean the one where I built grocery store or school I just bulldoze the lot and build a new lot from scratch. You could also place a new lot in edit town mode, and set the lot type to whatever you prefer.

As far as I have found no. I tested with a hidden room marker but it just makes the room unusable which wouldn’t work well here.
@@LitrallyAJ thank you for replying :)
How do you move the families in to the house? Are they all in one family or can you add them to the family and separate them.
You will move them in all at once! If you already have families living in the apartment and want to add another you can merge the household. The division of the families is done using the apartment controller, so the family is still TECHNICALLY one household even though the money and households are split up by apartment.
i hope you’re still working on it bestie 😁

@@LitrallyAJ okay purr! let me sub (:
