Well, it's going alright but one big snag right now: I had intended to house 6 seperate sims in an apartment building. Spent bunches of time building this really nice apartment building with lots of amenities, looked up the cheat to re-zone it and had my sims begin moving in and I found out only 4 playable sims can live in the building. :( However, I may be happy if I can duplicate the building and house 3 in each and let the rest fill up with other neighbors.

i read on some site... not too sure where, that you cant make beach lots into apartments, it wont work.


Oh, nice one!

That explains why I always get the message "invalid lot" when I want to rezone. Takes a whole lot of fun out of custom apartments, since I wanted them to be on the beach.

Another goody I didn't know of. Guess I save my time then, since it seems rather pointless to create apartments.

Sometimes I wonder about the thought process of the developers. Beach Condo? Who needs that.´And, four Sims are more than enough. Yeah, right. Everyone needs an apartment when they are able to control less Sims than in a single house.

ancienthighway:
Household limits in apartment units are the same as on residential lots.  Any combination of sims and pets up to 10 combined with a maximum of 6 pets or 8 sims.  With this limitation, only 4 apartment units may be occupied by playable sims.  You can have more units, but any over 4 have members of the social groups move in.

I've been able to build and play apartments and am now testing shops on the ground floor.  I tried one variant with a restaurant and a shop.  The restaurant worked fine but I kept having trouble with the shop operating like it should.
What I did was create the building as a residence first, then change it to apartmentbase.  
I understand that if you build first in community mode and then change the zoning to apartment base the shops will work normally.
One thing I have not been able to do is advertise for roommates!
I think my newspaper is somehow involved.  I haven't been able to find a job via the newspaper since before Vacation came out.
