Apartments
Overview
At the most basic level, an Apartment lot is just a new type of residential lot. Obviously though, there's much more too it than that- there are many differences between standard residences and apartments. Apartment lots can house multiple families of both playable Sims and Townies. Instead of purchasing their house outright, a Sim living on an Apartment lot will pay rent every week. The player will only be able to alter the interior of the apartment owned by the selected family when playing a household, with certain tools and options disabled. Even when altering an apartment with no Sims present, many Build Mode tools will be disabled.
Apartment Features
The major difference between an apartment lot and any other kind of residential lot is the fact than an apartment can have more than a single household as residents. Up to four playable households can live on an apartment lot, for a possible total of 32 playable Sims on the same lot, and there is no practical limit to the number of additional apartments that can be occupied by Townies.
