Hi I am going to restart the tutorials list, it was really helpful to me in the past and continues to be, but a lot of them need updating.If you have new links, find old links that aren't in the list or realise one of them simply doesn't work, please let me know and I will edit them.If Fieryfemale is still around, original op, and want to take this back, please just let me know.

OK until we get some real tutorials on apartment/high rise building here are two threads to plough through, lots of info, and a long read...How to modify penthouses/high riseshttp://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/283202.pageWait... so can we or can we not build our own apartment building?I think we canhttp://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/280497.page

Yeah done about half..... the links on the working tuts work, sadly no guarantee if they are a great tutorial....

When the list is all checked, I will copy it and tidy it up so it makes more sense.
