When the apartment hunting household is played again, the slots will still be vacant for rent, though. They are considered to be not yet living there, and all the vacant slots will be occupied by social group townies. However, if the players play a household that lives in the apartment where the previous one is still hunting, they will never see the apartment hunters anywhere on the lot. If, by chance, the player decides to quit or switch to another household from the apartment hunting household, players can still continue playing them later.
Sims can go on a date or outing, but are limited to the apartment lot.įortunately, no social class townies will appear to rent any of the vacant apartments until the player selects an apartment for the household to rent. Sims cannot order groceries or hire services, except for adoption and matchmaking services.Sims cannot knock on doors or ask members of other existing playable households to come out, and Sims already living in apartments will not come out.However, there are many things Sims cannot do before they rent an apartment: The landlord will remain on the lot indefinitely until Sims rent an apartment. While apartment hunting, Sims can use any objects in any common areas or interact with the household members or the landlord. When a household has been moved onto an apartment lot, they will go apartment hunting until they rent an apartment. However, the more Sims there are living in an apartment building, the slower the game will perform. Therefore, one apartment building can hold up to 36 player-controlled Sims. Roommates will count as pets, so there can actually be 9 Sims in a household. Individual apartment households can consist of 8 Sims or 6 pets, with no more than 10 household members total. This means, once all four slots have been rented by four playable households, the other units will be occupied by a social group townie. This mechanism works the same in apartment buildings, except the playable occupants now have neighbors who actually live next door and can be visited.Īn apartment building cannot be occupied by more than four different households, no matter how many apartment units are available.
This is similar to the traditional residential lots, where each lot has a different world, and all the playable members grow older while other families outside the lot will not change save for any relationship changes with the playable Sims. Each household has separate seasonal conditions, so one household can be in heavy snow, while another might be in the middle of summer. Pointing at the apartment building will only show which households are living there, and if Seasons is installed, the season of each household. If there's a playable household living there, clicking it will show the family information. The players can see the price range of an apartment building by clicking on it in the neighborhood view. Premade apartments can be found in the Lots and Houses bin under the specialty lots tab. Apartment buildings can be placed in the base neighborhood, downtowns, and business districts, but cannot be placed or made in colleges or vacation destinations. If it is dim, then it has not been occupied, or all playable households living there are saved on a vacation or an owned community lot.
If the icon glows bright, it means it has been occupied by at least one household. In the neighborhood view, an apartment building can be recognized by the building icon that appears above the lot.
