For console gamers like myself, we cannot mod console games. Maybe a patch might acquire us the elevator or apartment mailboxes for a Penthouse in San Myshuno. The city map in City Living. Although I've considered the apartment mailbox on my porch on my rather three-story mansion I've built myself in Willow Creek.

@Frank_The_Simmer_32, you might want to post this over in The Sims 4 section as this is an old TS3 thread from 2011.

Got it in one :) Thanks @lisasc360. I'll lock this thread now.

ahaha i would also like to know this. My apartments don't have mail boxes either... but the repo guy never comes so...

No, they ARE hidden. There is a mod that allows apartment mailboxes to be used, but I dont have it.

Interesting, who should i believe? :)

I did look in the debug and i did not fiend it there, so Docksprock you might be right, but i hope your not! :)
- I dont use mods... so im like: Really? :shock: I need a mod to build an apartment???


I found the apartment trash-thing for the stairs and the "buzz"-in system (sorry :?: ), so it seems kind of odd to me if the mailbox is not accessible...Doesnt it?

Jonny_Epedemic you say your apartment work whit out it? You just get notifications about the bills or...?

It's like Docsprock said. It's hidden and you'll need a mod.

Really? Ah! Thats so unfair!

*looking for a smiley face that looks rather pouting*

But thanks for helping out everyone!

- Guess i just have to leave them with the one house mail box and hope for the best... :)

to let you know there is no apartment mail box in buy mode,bill mode or edit town comunity sce and its ISNT in the cheat Buydebug either. so no you cant build your own appartment from scratch. How ever like some others have said if you use mods and cc you might find it.

It drives me crazy that the mailboxes can't be accessed in buydebug, as I don't want to use mods. I completely redid an apartment recently and somehow managed to accidentally delete the mailbox in the apartment and couldn't get it back.

You do not have to download a MOD etc. All you have to do is go into a premade building that has an apartment mailbox. Then, instead of trying to Copy the mailbox by using the eyedropper tool, use the Create tool, which allows you to change the color of the object etc. Then once you create a new custom color, Upload your creation. Exit out of the game, upload it and then download it into your game. Once it is downloaded, do the "testingcheatsenabled on" cheat, then do the "buydebug" cheat and finally do the "restrictbuildbuyinbuildingscheat off" and FINALLY- once you click on the buydebug question mark in buymode, scroll down and you will see the mailbox as an option. You can add it to your custom made building. Sounds complicated but it is not. Follow all the upload steps as you would if you were uploading a family or an object. I prefer this method instead of downloading MODS or content from unknown sims sources. Try it, it works! It worked fine for me.

AHA! I've found it! It's in the Debug menu, right next to the daylight ceiling lights. Hope this helps! :)
