How do I modify an existing apartment building?
rosesforme17:
I haven't had any problems using that cheat and I didn't know of any problems with it. I would much rather use this cheat than go through all the trouble of moving the sim out, go in to lot, change the zoning, go to neighborhood, go back in to lot, make changes, change the zoning, go back to neighborhood, go back in to check lot is still okay, go back to neighborhood, move family in. Way too much trouble just to change a few things. I'll stick with the cheat. Whether or not anybody chooses to try the cheat, it was a suggestion as I have found it so much easier.

I usually make a copy of the original apartment building if I liked the style and color scheme for it. Then I go in and edit the apartment lot to the way I like how it looked and fix certain things like adding lights to the outdoor area, removing things that aren't needed from the common area and whatnot.
Then I move in a test family to check for any problems and move them out when I'm satisfied with the remodeling job. I then save a copy of the newly modified apartment lot.
Many of these apartment lots made by Eaxis are nice but they're not efficient when Sims can't get to an object or get into their own apartments because the pathing is either blocked or broken.
It's easier to convert the apartment lot into a residential lot first and then with all of the tools available, you can do your remodeling to your heart's content. Before you leave the lot, turn it back into an apartment lot and save.

Thank you for all your replies. I'd already gone and moved the family out, to make all the adjustments I wanted, so I did not get to try the cheat. But I didn't even need changeLotZoning since it let me go into build mode from neighborhood view right after it was empty... Is that normal?
I haven't tried the apt lot again since the changes, should I be doing something different?
:confused:
