Both objects need to be placed in an area designated as Public. You'll want to place a call box (if you want the Sim to accept visitors) and apartment mail box (for a more authentic look) on the lot. To change the door type press/hold Ctrl+Shift then left click the door to bring up the options and choose "Make an NPC door" You can then move the Sim out without taking the household and Save. You can still change the door by moving a Sim into the playable apartment and changing the NPC door from build mode. This is a bug thanks to the retards at EA! NOTE: Some players are not able to change the NPC door even with the correct marker in place and the door is completely enclosed. If you use the wrong or no marker, the option to "Make an NPC door" will not be available. In order to change the door function of the NPC apartment door, you MUST include the Public Room Marker in the enclosed space. Fenced areas or hallways leading to doors must have a Public Room Marker. If you build on a foundation and choose to use the fence/gate combo, the fence/gate must be the same height as the foundation and fully enclose the door. The fence must enclose the door itself and must be a full fence, not the type the Sims can step over.
Placing a fence/gate around the outside of the yard will not work. Apartment doors MUST be enclosed by either a wall or a fence/gate. The NPC apartment will be hidden (if you have placed the correct marker) so there is absolutely no reason to bother with decorating. The units can be side by side or vertical. One to use as a public area, one for the NPC apartment and one for the playable Sim. Foundations do count as one level and will play an important role so keep that in mind. Keep in mind that, without cheats, you can only go up five floors. Let's go ahead and get started and go over them!īefore you start building, activate these 3 cheats: There are some things you must keep in mind for the lot to function correctly.
Once you get the first one under your belt you'll be building apartments like a pro! But, it really is a pretty simple thing to do. I'm not sure if this is because people are intimidated by the process or don't completely understand the process.Įither way, I admit it is a bit scary at first if you don't have all the pieces to the puzzle. During my visits I don't see a lot of custom built apartment buildings for S3. I have to admit I lurk a lot of forums/blogs. Here are the basic steps for building apartments in Sims 3
