How To Build an Apartment in Sims 2

[DogsAreThe]

Bit cheap for me, maybe a good starter home. But i am only like 1 min through so...

[Twilighted1215]

I can not figure out what is wrong with my apartment. I've changed many things and added a bathroom and kitchen and bedroom. I still cant get the cheat to work. Someone please help me.

[annasotoinu]

[aquaholCP]

[Exclus1veDes1gn]

[RedcrownX]

@PrinzessPerfetczz009 look on google

[RachiiCruel]

What's the cheat????

[Grillimakkara00]

I think it's so stupid that the expansion pack is called '' The Sims 2 Apartment Life '' and then you cant build an Apartment by yourself without a cheat.

[lookitsmyvideo]

@Grillimakkara00 Agreed

[pokemonCHAMP20]

What pack did you get the moneky bars from?

[Cuteloveyb1]

@pokemonCHAMP20 apartment life.

[THEMJLOVER111]

[Themigsvill]

@lookitsmyvideo but there is gonna be an EP called LATE NIGHT it is the sims 2 nightlife,the sims 1 superstar and THE SIMS 2 APARTMENT LIFE so that means u can build apartments . Release is october 26 or 29

[PammieChan]

I've been told that, you shouldn't put furniture because it'll disappear.

[lookitsmyvideo]

@PammieChan I dont remember, its been so long.

[PammieChan]

@lookitsmyvideo

Thanks though :)

[lookitsmyvideo]

[briannapig]

[roryroo11]

I can't build a lot like yours in an hour. your fast.

[bioniclesean]

My Sims 2 can`t build.Why can`t it build?

[lookitsmyvideo]

@bioniclesean You need apartment life EP

[bioniclesean]

@lookitsmyvideo I Mean i can`t build any house,pools and stuff i only can get furnitures.

[lookitsmyvideo]

@bioniclesean I dont know then.

[bioniclesean]

@lookitsmyvideo Is there some kind of mod that could make you build?

[lookitsmyvideo]

@bioniclesean No. Did you pirate the game?

[bioniclesean]

@lookitsmyvideo Yes but nothing happen.

[lookitsmyvideo]

@bioniclesean I cant help you man. Your making a n00b mistake somewhere.

[ladytrish51]

aww... ok... well.. good to know the cheat.. thanks. :)

[ladytrish51]

why make it so small.... only maybe a single could live in it... ? ... go big or stay home. lol... but nice job tho.

[lookitsmyvideo]

@ladytrish51 This was a demonstration of the cheat, not the apartment

[Ursula135]

looks sexy :D

[lookitsmyvideo]

@Ursula135 Hahaha. I wasnt aware an apparnment in a video game could look sexy .... Maybe its just you ;)

[mort47037]

Thank you for this video. My mom and I have been trying to figure out how to build apartments, but they always showed up as buyable houses. We didn't know the "changelotzoning" cheat. So even if it is a year and a half after you posted, thank you. xD

[lookitsmyvideo]

@mort47037 Glad i could help Man/Woman :P

[ArabianMax]

Sweet Man!

[nesbach]

how can you see other houses?

[LollyPopKiki]

I love you

[Maxwell14280]

Why Make A Bigger Apartment Next Time Instead Of Units 2

[gretchpearlMdm]

why dont you make big apartments?

[rawrlikeatigerx2]

i got a cheat to make apartments on sims2.

just make one family and then just maximize all there skill points and then make it look JUST like the one in the video..and there. walla!!

[iamthefame]

How do you paint the stairs?

[33hands]

thanks a whole bunch

[Rheasoulsearching]

is it to possible that u could be the landlord

[33hands]

no i don't think you can have a job as a landlord. but if you type in

boolprop testingcheatsenabled true

you can shift-click on the landlord and click on make selectible

[Trixster104]

nice apartment!! :)

[TheSims2Holic]

2 units only?GREAT IDEA.i like

[all0in01]

That thing about all doors must be apartment grade, can we have just one stay normal for like a deck? Or like in Pre-made apartments, have a room as a dining hall or a lounge, or some wierd room I can't think of like a public cr-pper?

[WWE4life2009]

on 0:57 how did you change the floor like that what button?

[grahammmmmmmm]

choose the floor u want and then press shift

[TheDiamondJazz]

Loved the video!

The ownly problem was, don't sims need Kitchens and a place to eat as well?!?!

Anyway, I Loved the cool steps!

~The*Diamond*Jazz~

[22022008404137]

hw do u make the vid with a vid cam or web cam or just the recorder in the game?

[cuttebear]

On the game tools theres this recording Icon ... Click that and start recording.

[ubfunkey2]

i type in the cheat but it stays normal T_T

[themaiasaura]

I think the code is case sensitive

[dodisoo000]

can all i mean can other use it 2

[dodisoo000]

can some1 use it

[Sharonxxx56]

yes the cheat enables it to be used

[dodisoo000]

Is this a cheat or not

[gwnstef4]

how do you paint the stairs ?

[DudeWithTheBling]

the sides of the stairs are walls so just paint them

[gwnstef4]

ooh thanx i dont know that ;)

[troylovesmwa]

That cheat thing doesnt work on mine I have had the expanshin pack for about 2 days and all I want to do is make an apartment that they can more into so please help me out PLEASE.

Please get back to me.

[Sharonxxx56]

make sure you spell it right and type it in the box. You have to be on the lot and it might work if you type in: boolprop testingcheatsenabled true, first.

[troylovesmwa]

Why do you need to use the cheat or what?? is it an option??!

PLEASE get back to me

[lookitsmyvideo]

You have to use the cheat, really, this shouldnt be called a cheat, it should be a console command, but same diff. And you have to have the Apartment Life EP

[zorapkr]

Use changelotzoning apartmentbase

Just like that.

[bambina320]

thanks! i really wanted to know how to make the apartment mailbox cuz i made a bulding with 4 apartments but i just didnt know how to make people rent them.

[CUTEpandaDancing]

hey, when your playing with ONE of the family, can you see what the other sims are doing next door or something????

[bambina320]

No u can't see what the other family is doing in their appartment but u can see what they do in the yard like if they are in the pool or making a BBQ and things like that.

[sourskully]

ya you can but you can't go over it's like a decoration really.But from there if you want to save your game a chose another family you can chose from there

[einstein780]

uhh i agree with jensenlim its so tiny

[volcanolilpow]

you have the cheat wrong, it is changeLotZoning_ apartmentbase

[stacyedeal]

omg this doesnt make any sense

[chuckysims2grimtales]

How did you get the cheat if its from a site don't tell me. My computer does this thing saying it cant read the file or something.

[jensenlim]

huhh..... its so little

[micheledifranco]

really cool

[gizzygirl2008]

awesome apartment! looks pretty good for a quick example! the cheat works fine for me.

[gizzygirl2008]

[lookitsmyvideo]

[AmaRocks25]

[PentruPatrie]

[treehoty]

[rexylexy89]

[HorrorfanlikesZombie]

Yes thes cheat works great but you MUST write it so changelotzoning apartmentbase thes is the corkt way the other one doesnot workes becous it its fols writen ... God video 4 S.T.A.R.S.

[nickybono90]

[AJmiko07]

[KatieKeen123]

And again, do you have Sims 2 Apartment life Expansion pack. It is required

[finnishbarbie]

yes. i tried one more time today. it worked. but when i tried it earlier it didn't work. i tried million times before it worked. my sims is so stupid and slow

[lookitsmyvideo]

Time for a computer upgrade?

[finnishbarbie]

totally

[killerninjadesire]

No kitchen?? Oh and does anybody know: If you don't like the doors with doormats, can you change them once you have all the families you want moved in?? Or will that just change it into a very strange, awkward house??

[WigglersAndWigglys]

Thx!!!

[lilTiadarealest]

mine did't work, im new at sims and is there suppose to be a cheat box for u to type in or something plz help.

[lookitsmyvideo]

oh, ok. Yea, you have to put Ctrl-Shift-C. and a cheat window will pop up. Also if you type in help in the cheat window you will get a list of a few cheats.

[lilTiadarealest]

i did that n it still won't work is there something else i can do to make it an apartment. cuz wen i put ctrl-shift-c that only made the camera flash

[lookitsmyvideo]

lol, no, you have to press all 3 at once.

[lilTiadarealest]

oooooo, well den i did that and nothin happened. ima do it again and if it won't work ima just start building houses

[killerninjadesire]

Also if holding all three doesn't work on yours hold those three and the windows icon key, cause that is the only way mine works...

[SizSkiizd]

Thank you very much for posting this video!
