And like, look how easy this was! It would literally be so easy to just make this an apartment lot type. It can't possibly be that difficult to code into the game. If they made the university dorms and high schools customizable, they totally can for us to make custom apartments.
I made an apartment with a kinda working elevator yesterday and it’s pretty good no CC. Hehe my gallery ID is collie174 if you guys wanna check it out.
Sims 2 really did have the best apartment system. Completely-customizable apartment lots, up to 4 playable households in one lot (the rest will have unplayable townies live in them), it was the best.
Here we are 10 months later and were getting apartments Kayla you really do have the power and influence to convince EA to create everything we want, so now i ask you to manifest spiral stairs PLEASE!!!!
I say this all the time but I wish the sims team added the apartment lot type so you could make your own apartments. It was such a missed opportunity with city living.
apartments really could do with a refresh, we cant even put them on the gallery. let us move and change windows/front door, change the wall height, etc. even if they added an apartment lot type! it would be a dreaaam
@@coolpumpkins453 her job is not to post a video everyday it’s to make content, the fact that she does it everyday just shows the effort she puts in and it should be noticed and congratulated
It’s hard to explain how REALISTIC and GOOD this build looks. Where I’m from new buildings are built in that same style. I’m so exited for the new expansion!
seriously! or at the very least medium. i usually use medium and then add a platform base, as from a simsie video, so it's between a short and medium wall height
I seriously cannot stand when people use tall wall height for anything that’s not a grand castle or a fancy public lot. Medium I typically use for mansions or Victorian homes, short height is for EVERYTHING ELSE. Why tf is a cheap apartment tall wall height? the math is not mathing 🤦🏾♀️
I turned one into a cafe/ with 3 Apartments with a pool and laundry and recreation backyard just for the roommates but I wish we had our own apartment lot and tools
The elevator thing is so annoying, usually I just sort of draw inspiration from The Big Bang Theory and put stairs around the elevator and pretend it’s broken 😂
I really hope in The Sims 5 that we get the ability to zone areas- like we can have a lot with we can zone some of it as a retail store, a section as a cafe, and a section as residential. I would love to be able to create apartments above stores and have sims actually have it as their primary address. It would allow us to build our own apartment blocks, and we could separate the areas using this sort of method. Building custom apartments are always so fun! Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
An apartment lot type I think would be easy to implement. It still wouldn't be like San Myshuno at all but they could like have some simple math tied to the bills, so like when you're building the lot in the menu you would select how many apartments there are, and divide the bills by that number. So if your bills were for example $800, but you're living on an apartment lot with 4 apartments, you would only have to pay $200. It'd also work well for duplexes and townhouses, or even just regular houses with roommates, since the roommates are kind of sort of freeloaders who occasionally give you their pocket change and call it rent. They could also like you know how on a scale you can like place like a bowl or something on it, and then set it to zero so it only measures anything you add after that point? A system where you could set the lot cost to zero after building the apartment, and the other apartments you aren't using would work well too. Or it couldn't be easy, because I don't know how coding games works lol.
I think what would he hardest with this is being able to have multiple households on one lot because if we couldn’t do that with apartment buildings then it would be dumb
@@alicynsenior4952 I don't think it's completely dumb since people are playing in these fake apartments currently and just pretending they're real, but it is dumb that EA couldn't just implement an apartment building feature in the first place which restricted apartments to only two worlds (at first we thought San Myshuno would be the only apartment world). Either way it's just a simple idea to make people's gameplay a little easier, it'd probably work better as a mod rather than an actual implementation to the game anyways since EA would likely get backlash for not just letting us build apartments in the first place. :D
So glad Dan's family is coming for a visit...I hope they weren't counting on warm weather, I live about an hour from Orlando and it's literally freezing here. Hopefully its a little warmer down there... Merry Christmas !!!
As a NY-er, this is amazing and super realistic! I’ll have to see what packs are needed before I try to download it. But can’t wait for the next video on this build! ❤😊
Hear me out! Custom "elevator" that's just a room with a ladder. It looks like an elevator from the outside but inside you just take the ladder. I might look into this!
if you're looking for a cheaper way to buy those packs, i use CDKeys which sells the codes for packs cheaper than EA and i've never had any problem with it :)
The packs with the apartments don'tet you build custom apartments either, you can only build and furnish within pre-existing buildings. So, not that gret
1:45 this reminds me of when my sim family lived in a 2 story house, and the bathrooms on both floors had “kitchen counters” to fit sinks on, and the AMOUNT of times my sims cooked on the BATHROOM COUNTERS 💀💀💀💀
There's actually a trick you can use to place multiple elevators on the same lot, by simply using a room with the elevator from the Gallery. I think it's even functional, meaning Sims will use them to get to other elevators on the lot, although they're sadly not animated and Sims will simply phase in and out. And it doesn't check whether each elevator is lined up into a single column either, so make sure there's only one elevator on each floor, each of them lined up with each other.
If you like furnishing small apartments so much, you should try building a Japanese studio apartment. They’re so small it’s insane and I think it would be fun
i've dowloaded one where the creator squeezed the micro apartment between 2 debug buildings, realistic AF and very well done i loved it even tho it was so small
This looks absolutely fantastic!! The way you used platforms is very creative, I wanna steal some ideas myself. I also love the decorative Eco Lifestyle poles (?) at 3:57 - it makes the building look more attractive!! I also love how you split the place so it's not a copy-paste through all 4 floors. Don't worry about the packs - we have jobs for a reason. At least the place looks good with them!! C:
I live in a neighborhood with a lot of buildings and I wish that my apartment building had at least one small community room. Also, the mailboxes are on the outside irl bc mail people can't come in. And every apartment floor tends to be the same exactly although people do get to pick their own floor so every floor is different. But I'm in another country and I guess I don't live in Miami ☹️
You did such a great job on this build! Literally, my jaw dropped when I saw the finished product. It sucks that the game makes apartments so non-functional, but I loved the first "furnishing" video and hope you do more!
"You can't build apartments in the sims." I know she meant The Sims 4 but I can't help but think about The Sims 2 Apartment Life because it literally lets you do just that and have up to four families live there.
12:21 instead of "Dan's family" i first understood "dance family" and was like "what show is that thats coming to america?" lmao 😭😭😭😭 its 4am and im just wtaching kayla while plaiyng sims myself lmao
We dream of that too T_T I had the same issue. One of my sim wanted to cook (despite his own counters were available) on the downstairs "neighbor" 's counters even with locked doors, da hell whyyyy? 🤦🏻♂ 11:55 don't worry Kayla, you look fine and, most important thing, STAY SAFE and enjoy the holidays! 🎄
I was watching this video and all of these ideas popped up in my head!! Maybe a couple that wants to start a family moves in, a single person, a single parent and their child... So many possibilities! (They'd all be in the same household, so I would have to be mindful of the 8 person limit, but I digress.)
Ooh! I definitely want to see a fully furnished version! Maybe we need a fun Simsie furnish challenge! Instead of a shell challenge, I’d love to see how you and other builders would decorate or alter this apartment building!
17:00 i will have this apartment be a doctor's clinic or smth. The office in the small bedroom and in the bigger one I'll have the medical chair and stuff. I'll close off the kitchen so it's not accessible by everyone, and then the remaining living area will be a waiting area for patients.
Merry Christmas! That apartment looks so pretty! Nice and realistic floorplans as well. The Sims Team should definitely make this a thing and be able to get separate Sims families in it. I do think since the room mates is a thing they might even be working on making this a legit thing. That would be so good!
When I play with fake apartments I do a household of many sims but only control mine haha, thats kinda what Im doing now with a motel. I loved your apartment building!
Oh my god what the heck. I was literally designing apartment layouts today on paper while watching your videos thinking "I should see if someone has built an entire apartment building in the sims, I should try that myself!" And then you upload THIS. WHAAAT
Well, I think it's pretty realistic since there are many apartments where you need to walk up four floors. Theres still so many without lifts. And in my student apartment I need to walk across the whole campus to get to the laundry room. So in conclusion, your build is perfect ^^
I downloaded this house yesterday and put a large group of eligible bachelors in it. Presto... instant neighbors for my sims!
Thats a brilliant idea. For 100 baby challenge as well.
An AMAZING idea

I forgot you can’t normally place elevators and use it in the sims 4. I have this mod that lets me use them, highly recommend it.
What's the name of the mod? I've been looking for something like that for a while and I haven't found a functional one 😅

I like filling my sims worlds with apartments so I can fill them with so many sims without them having 8 sims in a one bedroom house
This aged so well! December 7th can’t come fast enough!

It would be interesting to see an apartment build with businesses on the ground floor. Like a restaurant, childcare, grocery store and/or a bookstore.
YES
I turned one into a cafe/ with 3 Apartments with a pool and laundry and recreation backyard just for the roommates but I wish we had our own apartment lot and tools
The way this video is the Inspiration for the For Rent pack. Shared spaces, 6 units, ik Kayla has an impact on community wants
The elevator thing is so annoying, usually I just sort of draw inspiration from The Big Bang Theory and put stairs around the elevator and pretend it’s broken 😂

Man, that’s just a really f*cked up troll for disabled people
Imagine being in a wheelchair and the doors open up to a ladder 💀💀
It being fully functional now and her really expressing how badly she wants it 😂😂
Revisiting from 2024, and now you can do it!
merry Christmas Eve!
KAYLA PEASE MAKE A SERIES OF MAKING EACH ROOM IN THIS APARTMENT THAT WOULD BE SOOO COOL
i wish i could build apartments but i don’t have any of the packs with the apartments😭😭
She’s built another custom apartment building before that uses just the base game!
if you're looking for a cheaper way to buy those packs, i use CDKeys which sells the codes for packs cheaper than EA and i've never had any problem with it :)
The packs with the apartments don'tet you build custom apartments either, you can only build and furnish within pre-existing buildings. So, not that gret
I LOVE how different the kitchen layouts are especially the one with the fridge and counter nook
I love this, the exterior is so authentic. It's just a small thing but the color-coded walls are so nice.
Now that For Rent is on it's way it's time to get some inspiration on how to build apartments! 😊
I love that all the apartments are different so you can make diferent famlies and stories in them, so much inspiration
1:45 this reminds me of when my sim family lived in a 2 story house, and the bathrooms on both floors had “kitchen counters” to fit sinks on, and the AMOUNT of times my sims cooked on the BATHROOM COUNTERS 💀💀💀💀
Ur builds have been improving ALOT and im here for it
I also really dislike how huge the apartments in City Living are. I want my sims to suffer in a 250sq ft bachelor unit that costs $1500 per month.
I love that you upload every day, but don’t worry if you end up missing a day or two. The holiday season is so busy, I wouldn’t be offended at all
OK but this is such a realistic floorplan for a modern apartment complex in Australia! I’m obsessed with the third floor tiny apartments 😍
There's actually a trick you can use to place multiple elevators on the same lot, by simply using a room with the elevator from the Gallery.
I think it's even functional, meaning Sims will use them to get to other elevators on the lot, although they're sadly not animated and Sims will simply phase in and out.

I feel like it would be so good in the sims to have an Apartment with Get to work and you can have your own apartment and NPC's can live there!
so this can totally be on the for rent game now
Please can you go back to this end finish it for the new expantion? I'd love to have it in my game
It's crazy how we could do so much more in older versions of the game! I still don't get why an updated version is so limited.
I was thinking it reminded me of apartments I see in Miami like what they’re building near Wynwood. I like this build a lot!
OMG, I came here to say I'm definitely downloading this and dropping it on a lot in December! Lil Simsie is a soothsayer!
Re found this! Great one to use 🤞when it comes out.
