Are you interested in building your own apartment buildings?

If there is a dorm system in a future University pack, it's possible that could be adapted to make small apartment complexes. It could also create some sort of roommate system where you could share an apartment but not control the roommate which could add some interesting situations. I don't need huge high-rises but I'd love to have some two or three floor buildings. that could be used to house multiple households (they might have to be fairly small households because of the 8 sims/household limit).

I was really disappointed to see we couldn't build our own apartment complexes when they introduced apartments. I hated the way apartments were done in Sims 3 as well Not all apartments are high rises, just PLEASE all I wanna do is make a Victorian house that's divided into apartments.

i am undecided on this would depend on where i would went my sims to live

I'd like to build uk styled ones to go with my uk build worlds. We generally call them Flats over here, apartments are rather up-market posh ones or new rentals in cities.

The most I have managed in-game is to create semi-detached houses so some of the family can move next door and have their own house with the other members of the family locked out!

No. I'm not a builder so I don't need this feature.

Right?! I want to make row houses, and brownstones, and painted ladies (I know these three examples are very similar; I have a type haha) and typical, everyday, 2-3 story apartment buildings like you find EVERYWHERE, unlike the tall high rises in cities (which are still great, but shouldn't be the only option). Plus, just think of all the famous tv apartments that would flood the gallery! How fun would that be?!

Yes... yes... absolutely yes!!!

I'm not a builder so I don't particularly care one way or another. I do want another apartment world tho.

Sims 2's system was much more versatile. As long as you put the door and walled/fenced everything properly, you could build whatever structure you wanted and call it an apartment complex. Prisons, cruise ships, castles, nomad camps (using the room seperators as walls and camoflaging the apartment door with shrubbery, at least from certain angles)... anything. I'm not a builder, so my designs never looked great, but I made them at least convincing and fully functionable.

Now Sims 4 limits me to actual, literal apartments in a city. That's beyond boring and a waste of what used to be a powerful feature.

I get that reasoning, but you don't need to be a "builder" to appreciate this feature; I don't consider myself to be a "builder" either. I do enjoy building and creating homes and such when the mood and inspiration strikes, and I fancy my houses enough to upload and share them, but I am not nearly on the same level as some of the builders in the gallery. If they added this, the gallery would be overrun with so many beautiful apartment buildings that everyone would be able to download and enjoy! It would really make the game that much richer.
