Sims 2 Apt. Life is the only Sims game that did apartments right and build-able anywhere and easily done. Both Sims 3 and 4 totally failed at apartment living and building. I never play apts in Sims 4 and just use CL for the festivals and friendships. I did try it and quickly did not like it as I do not like neighbor annoyances - never mind unable to have apts in other towns or build them myself. Makes no sense to me why a 2004 Sims game had no problem doing it right - but Sims 3 and Sims 4 both do it all wrong. Sims 4 is the worse when it comes to apts. Even though I like the game - things like apartments, small neighborhoods, no real roads, no real zoom in maps, and large family control are badly done in my view. So the best bet for me is just avoid apartments and avoid large families, then I can enjoy the game. I have my sims limited to 1 or 2 kids at most - the majority are lucky if they get 1. (That way I can play my beloved toddlers at least.)
