The Sims 2 Esplanade Apartments Building Process

[rainbowcookies007]

Awesome video!

[DaCool1ns]

Also, there's a fault. As you used the fence tool to seperate the kitchen area from the living area, you can't edit the kitchen once you've bought the apartment.

[DaCool1ns]

you seriously need to put furniture in when your building! :)

[DarthRaisa2000]

lol like that one tiny piece of meat the dad is cooking is really going to feed his whole family :P

[17ahartman]

the website is is being updated so nobody can download right now

[moon11media]

Your video setup intrigues me. The quick designing really helps me understand the moral complications. ^^ But I rather enjoy the family life. It helps me get a sense of what could go on in the house. As much as I would LOVE to download these apartments, one, I do not have the apartment expansion pack, two, the Internet on the name of my PC, (not a surprise) that allows the Sims 2, doesn't allow Internet. Screwy, I know. Thanks Again!

[elishacheryl]

must...stop..watching your videos. NAW theyre to good not to. ;-D

[cmfsimlover]

Awesome I am getting the sims 2 apartment life between may 27th and June 1st so excited!!!

[lukosiusLT321]

OK I built this Apartament but I can't do that other people live in that apartament what should I do?

[lollyd1983]

this is amazing! i love it

[HaydenBlakeShow]

where did u get the closets

[TheCandyGirl801]

Hey can you plz write back?? Well, I'm a huge fan of yours and I was wondering what you filmed your sims 2 with because I use Windows Movie Maker and it sucks. And if you use Sony Vegas, can you tell me the site to get it on and how because it says to me that I have to download something for it and its annoying. And how do you film sideways and stuff like that?? Please answer!!! :) I beg!!

[danielahhhhhh019]

lmao the toddler looks like being rapper haha nice apartment though.. YOU SHOULD BUILD MY HOUSE IN THE FUTURE :D

[Fifinka140]

COOL

[kiltmilt]

nossa em toda minha vida no the sims nunca vi nada assim parabens

[simatermind]

do u need apartment life to build apartments

[Sims2addict131]

this is amazing good job

[FrigginEvilChickens]

Hey awesome apartments Sim man. I have a question can anyone answer?

In the apartments since their are multiple families living there, do they just automatically live in their separate apartments so that they are not living in eachothers apartments? Or do you have to do something to make them stay in their apartments?

[piaka56]

Oh dude that ROCKS.

- Awesome house/apartment

- AWESOME MUSIC Hahahaha ages sence I heard this song, forgot how good it was lol XD

*subscribing asap* THANKS :D

[22022008404137]

[picsoden]

[StardollRocks1122]

can you please help me? i dont know how to build an apartment. do you have to choose community Lot? And can your sims rent that apartment?

[inuloveskagome]

@StardollRocks1122 You have to choose a residential lot, build the apartment, then use the cheat "changelotzoning apartmentbase" without the quotations. save and exit the lot, and it'll be an apartment~!

[simatermind]

@StardollRocks1122 u choose a residential lot

[MissRoxyTrickyGloop]

Your not alone on losing registartion codes either.... I wanted a beach lot but lost my Bon Voyage code.

[perfectdarkallo]

when I've put it into my PC, I'm going to

download your apartment condo!

[ievaramanauskaite]

BEST!

[LOLZpersonok]

who cares about the building process...lets feast our eyes on the finished product!

[neeko0808]

yeah ur little storylines at the end are the best part

[mcalexev]

i agree it makes the vids special :) you should still do sims 2 vids even though sims 3s out i like sims 2 better really.

[xxxprinsesscxxx]

hw do ya build ur own apartment?

[TallRobby]

You build an ordinary "You" Apartment XD and then after type in "ChangeLotZoning Apartment Base" without the "

[GoodGamesrlikemovies]

WOAH thats no apartment thats like a condo or a RESORT you make it as real and magnifisint as possible dont you

[LADSONN]

you have the best music for you videos.

and amazing houses.

keep it up! :)

[xjadexbabes]

Wow best video ive ever seen for the sims 2..!!!! how do you dounload the movie maker because it isnt letting me.

[MaNamesHannah]

Wow! That's the best video i've ever seen! I mean... It's just great! If I get all of the expansions packs and stuff i'll totally download it! I said i once, and I'm saying it again, Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zaanaz]

I think TheSimMan is not a poor person ^^ Because he has the Sims 2 and all expansions packs and stuffs , Adobe After Effects and a good computer ... Adobe After Effects costs 1500 €, The Sims 2 and all expansions and stuffs about 300 €, a good computer more than 500 € ...

(I dont know the equivalant in $, sorry)

Anyway, it's a good video, well done as all your other videos !

[Mayjune16]

Does apartment life come with those cool closets and robes like in the vid?

[Mayjune16]

Love ur videos!

[redbladetfb]

I cant seem to get it right, i made a apartment but its still counting as a house. how do i make it to count as a apartment for more then one family?

[catstar54]

Do you have apartment life?

[glyzgurlev3r]

you have to open the cheat box and write:

changeLotZoning apartmentbase then save the apartment and go in again :)

[orangenorth]

a 2 bathroom 3 bedroom apartment. nice

[KaiColos]

on 1:39 it looks rong ....the way his moving like dat LOL:(

[Gingerdough11]

[johnmorrisonlover]

[Mysteryman567]

[Mysteryman567]

Great, great! A perfect work!!!! Well done! I wish I could do the same... but I can't... :( I hope The Sims 3 will be better than 2... :)

[FAProd2009]

i think infant's bedroom shouldn't have such a big window lol

its dangerous

besides that, i love the building.

A.

[Firefay16]

I need help setting up your apartment lots. One doesn't have any doors, the other's doors don't work. Is there some cheat I'm supposed to enable?

[healthyobsession801]

Heyy, ive always wanted to download your stuff, but, i don't have all the expansion packs. :[ is there a way to like, build an apartment without so many packs? I relly love all your work! Keep it up. :]]

[Tutorials411]

[woutertj]

It's 'Dare' by 'Gorillaz'.

Plz read the discription..:P

[heheimfuni]

Hi its me again.

this one is great i love the way you designed it and the quality of the video. Are you a Maxis designer? cause its seems like you are anyway, i went to your sims2 page and i read your about me thingy and i thought i was great. i understand where you are coming from with the lost university code i have university but once i got a virus object and had to take off university and then i tried to put it back on but i lost the manual. :( anyway i already wasted your time so thanks :)

[TheSimMan]

Hey heheimfuni :) Wasted my time? Never :D Thanks alot for sharing your thoughts about my video. No, I am not a MAXIS designer, thought I wish lol It's great to hear I'm not alone when it comes to loosing registration codes for expansion packs!

[lollypop2301]

Hey,me again!Look,you should send MAXIS or EA an e-mail,so they get you in the business.I'm serious,you make so beautiful buildings,that they could involve 'em in the game.Now,in TS3,cause I don't think that they plan on another expansion pack for TS2 =].Anyways,loved your video,it was great,as always...Bye!

lollypop2301

[cuttebear]

okay i was chocked with:

-how fast you can build your apartment

- good taste in furniture

-good music

- atmosphere really suits the video.

congratualations...my next stop is... click the SUBCRIBE BUTTON

[TheSimMan]

LOL Thanks, thanks and thanks :)

[mrcumshots]

damn :o

your good!

[bubbachilly5]

you have great taste in music

[TheSimMan]

Thank you :)

[jojoindi]

TEEHEE i love the music and i haven't seen this video yet

[webkinzgirl1009]

how many sims games do u have i only have 2 freetime and double deluxe

[TheSimMan]

I have all of them. TheSims2, it's expansion and stuff packs :)

[CITGProductions]

darn

you're the best sims 2 home builder i've seen.

[beaufornillos]

I was amazad! Cute family! It makes me wanna get Apartment Life...

[SimsEstateAgency]

Holy crap! You've outdone yourself again! I love it.

I would love to live there!

:D

[angusmaclennan]

I have all of the Expasion packs and stuff packs in total £203 pounds so i can download them?

[TheSimMan]

I think so! lol Check the link in the video description. On the 'lots page', it should tell you which expansion and stuff packs are required to play this lot..

[jeyabaalan]

do i need ALL of those packages showed on your link? if i must.. then i can't afford all of that packages.. ;(

If i only need base, Apartment or sumthin then i can ;]

[TheSimMan]

If you want to run the lot properly, as it should be, then yes, you need all of the required expansion and stuff packs :) sorry!

[khalypsuh]

What pc do you have?I want to buy the most of expansions and acessories packs but I don't know if my pc don't become with lag...Answer me please!

PS:I already have the sims 2 double deluxe( :D )

My pc has 250 gb of hard disk and 4 gb of memory....

[dance19urheartout]

Wow, you have a lot of expansion and stuff packs (looks like it), does it ever slow down your computer or the game?

[TheSimMan]

Nope. Runs fine. The only time my game slows down is when I'm playing or creating huge lots, like the Revolgrite Hotel lol

[dance19urheartout]

Haha, okay, thanks :]

[iceoreo]

This is my favourite one.Its so much better then the other ones that come with the game.The apartment layout is so good i love it!

[TheDRing2]

how long did this take you to do just asking i might make my own when i find my game.

[TheSimMan]

Do what. The video or the lot? The video took a few hours to put together, same with the lot, but this was built over a few days..

[as97ir]

WOW!that is the nicest apartment ever i have seen! do you have a website that people can download that fantastic apartment?

[TheSimMan]

You seem to have repeated yourself a little :D Thank you very much for commenting on the Apartments! I could've made them higher, but I wanted to stick to 4 levels. Also, if you watched the full video, you'd know about how and where you can download this lot :) Check out the video description :D Happy Simming!

[TheSimMan]

And sorry, no, I do not have my own website :(

[as97ir]

Oh ya do you have a website that we can download that apartment?

[as97ir]

WOW! i just look at this video for 46 seconds and your apartment looks fantastic and impossible to build but why you did not built that apartment taller cause i know the cheat to build buildings taller!

[habboisthebestpple]

Well the big metal one is ok for things like apartment blocks some hotels malls and some business's but the other wooden one is only really good for houses

I just want a generaly normal looking one

[TheSimMan]

I suggest you try looking for one to download on modthesims2. com. Chances are they'll have something to suit your needs :)

[habboisthebestpple]

I cant use modthesims2 because i have a make not a pc :(

[habboisthebestpple]

I mean a mac not a make  lol

[TheSimMan]

LOL I was gonna say :P Sorry to hear about this trouble..

[habboisthebestpple]

Apartment life missed out one vital thing for tower blocks, lifts i know there in Open for business but if you dont have it it can be hard to get from a high floor to a low one

[TheSimMan]

There actually is an Elevator included in TheSims2 Apartment Life :D

[habboisthebestpple]

Realy?

Wat does it look like, btw i have OFB but i think the elevators look crap

Great building by the way

I subscibed :D

[TheSimMan]

It looks rustic, industrial, lower class suburban. Comes in 4 colors. White, Green, Red and blue I think?

Thanks for commenting :) Glad you like the Apartment, and thank you very much for subscribing!

[habboisthebestpple]

Crappier than the OFB ones?

[TheSimMan]

Yes, but I don't think the ones in Open For Business are that bad :D

[XiaoAceAce]

man , all your houses are like so wonderfuly done : DD anyways , i've got a problem , when i insalle the sims2 freetime and sims2 appartment , i can't seem to use all the downloaded objbects like sofas and beds , i only can use the iteams in the building column . why does that happen ??

[Crunkiness]

hey simman! how do you build apartments?? i have the apartment life expansion pack but i dont know how to built it, please reply soon! thanks!

p.s. YOUR HOUSES ARE AWESOME!!!!

[AudioSurfValve]

create a reasonable sized residential lot, then build apartments, after that press Ctrl-Shift-C and type " Changelotzoning Apartmentbase " then save the lot and go to the neighborhood and there u go its apartments :]

[vampirecrystal]

You rock man!

[anime1457]

I want your design skills....please.

[mackenzie1096]

What are all the sims 2 games you have?

[TheSimMan]

All of them!

[mackenzie1096]

Wow!!!!!!!! How log did that take? I can't even do my own house on sims 2!

[TheSimMan]

'How log'? lol This Apartment block took me about a week to create and a day to compile the video :D

[AudioSurfValve]

this is a work of art its so beautiful

[sims2girl68]

[TheSimMan]

[zimjennifer12]

o...m...g...

[verbina25]

I want to download this but im not good at decorating i need the furniture already in it like you have

[TheSimMan]

Sorry to hear that lol If there were a way of uploading and downloading the lots completely and properly furnished, I'd do it in a flash. I'd prefer it that way actually!

[sokka55]

if you use thesims resource you can.

[TheSimMan]

Don't think I've heard of that cheat. Unless you're talking about the website SimsResource. I'll look into that, thanks!

[ZoeGirl65]

is apartment life an expansion pack like seasons.

or is it like life stories, where it is its own sims thing?

[TheSimMan]

TheSims2 Apartment Life is an Expansion pack, like TheSims2 Seasons, TheSims2 Pets, TheSims2 University and so on..It is not a game like TheSimsLifeStories :)

[ChancylovesTiTaNiC]

wow that was beautiful! i would download it but every time i download somthing it never shows up on the game! if u can help me, please do!

[amazinghorizon21]

[xxtinsleyxx]

Your work is amazing.

The world needs more people like you to inspire others.

=D

[TheSimMan]

LOL 'Cookie-cuttern floor plans' LOL That has to be the funniest thing I've heard today. But thank you very much for commenting on both my work and creativity :D I'm extremely flattered..seriously..

[asjdhfjkasdfasdhfasd]

[TheSimMan]

No, I am not an Architect. I've given it thoughts though..like taking a course or something..
