Buildable Apartments?

I don't like the existing apartments, they are too big.
I use them for students and single sims, 6x5 is enough for them.

it would be nice if Maxis could bring back the system from TS2 EP8 Apartment Life and add building shells like TS3 EP03 Late Night.

I wouldn't call 6x5 an apartment and might be useful on one occasion or two, but I wouldn't want them as a general apartment size. They are definitely not enough for a family and very often families live in apartments not just the suburbs. What I liked about the TS2 apartments, was the possibility to move in several similar households and have them use the common space area. Single sims got basektabll or swimming pool, family sims got a playground, sims could live next door to siblings, parents, love interest, etc. The current apartments are badly designed, you can't change the windows and their placement, sometimes you can't create rooms with a window and then there are the invisible roaches and mouse holes that you can't reach to spray or place trap if you place a wall or furniture over them. This wouldn't be a problem if it were possible to edit them or to create our own apartment buildings.
