I see.  So far I've only been making apartments in one of my downtown neighborhoods, and I've been using the apartmentbase cheat.  I didn't try making an apartment in the base hood or a shopping district yet...

Can anyone explain to me the difference between the two zoning cheats?

Apartmentbase and apartmentsublot...?

apartmentbase seems to be all that is needed to convert from residential to apartment, so what does the apartmentsublot cheat do?

I did a little test by creating a new apartment lot with four little 5x5 box houses and I was able to move all 4 families into that lot, so I'm guessing that the problem I was having is with that specific lot that I was trying to move all the families into originally.  I'm just not sure what the problem is, because as I said before, I'm able to move a family into any of those apartments, but only up to 3.  



Oh well.  I guess I'll just abandon that lot and try again....

I have a radeon 9800 pro in this rig, and the families that already live in the apartment are a family of 2, another family of 2, and a family of 3.  That's a total of 7 sims living on the lot.  The 4th family I'm trying to move in is a single sim.  I Don't think my graphics card would have an issue with 8 sims total.

I thought that we could have a total of 4 playable familes move into an apartment lot..

I have this one apartment that I'm trying to move a 4th family into, and the game won't let me.

It's a custom made lot, instead of one building, I have 4 seperate houses built on the lot.

I've been able to move a playable family into all 4 lots, just not all at once.  As soon as the 3rd family has moved in, the game only gives me the option merge the 4th family with one of the 3 that are already on the lot.  I know it's not the actual apartment, as I have moved the families in and out several times and tried all the "apartments".  But once I have 3 families there, an NPC moves into the 4th house, and I can't move the 4th family into the lot.

Anyone have any suggestions?
