So then, I did a big test: I tested the limit.
My theory behind the limit is this (under Spoilers):
By my theory, I have thought about one thing:
So, under the spoilers, here's the test I made (Picture heavy!!!).
So, oh boy, I removed the units in Tomarang and made a lot with 99 units. Over about 20, the game were more slower than before. And the result: I hit the limit on 99, at which point the game gave me the same message as if I had 6 units and no cheat:
But look at the colors!

Anyway, let's get to another lot! I can make it into a Residential Rental lot, and I can assign the first unit. However, I can't make another unit, and this time the 100 unit limit message comes.
Yet I went to another lot and I could make it into a single-unit Residential Rental lot! And yet again, the limit came up!
I filled all the other lots with one-unit Residential Rental lots and checked back to my original 99 unit lot. No unit was lost!
Let's remove one unit by removing one room. Now, by choosing the empty room, I still got the 100 limit per save message.
This means that the single unit from single-unit Residential Rental will also count towards the limit, but once the limit is reached, you are still free to make more single-unit Residential Rental lots. Also, still couldn't add more units to the other lots.
So yeah, I still think my theory might be it, but the limit just counts single-unit Residential Rentals towards the limit even though it just the same one lot.
Of course, now that I have an opportunity to test it out, I wanted to also see if the Gallery can be used to go over the limit.
Unfortunately, no.
You can place it on lots that already has the same amount or more units though, but on other lots, you get the same message on the world map.
In short, once you hit the limit, you won't be able to add more units or download Residential Rental lots from the Gallery (if it has more units). However, you will be able to make more Residential Rental lots, but these can only have one unit (which will count towards the limit, but no other unit will be removed).
Still, I still wish that the limit is increased. Though fortunately, TwistedMexi is working on it, I'd wish there was an official way.
Oh, and let me state the limit per lot here:
Without cheats: 6 units
With cheats: 99 units
Save limit: 100 units

It seems like the limit isn't just a number in code. Thinking of how the apartments are handled in previous packs and how it was handled in The Sims 2, my conclusion is simple:
There are 99 or 100 hidden unit lots. Each time you make a new unit, you "order" one unit lot to be a part of the lot you're building.
But of course, that's just a theory...

By my theory, I have thought about one thing:
- By that logic, the first unit that is there when you turn a lot into a Residential Rental lot shouldn't count towards the limit.
(Spoilers: No, it does count towards the limit, but this can be used to go over the limit)
