Overview

This tutorial will show you the basic concepts of building an apartment in the Apartment Life expansion.

Building Apartments

Start with an empty residential lot. You can use any size you like. Enter the lot in build mode to begin building.

NOTE: Do NOT use a beach lot. Beach lots become hopelessly corrupted when changed to apartments. There is no known fix for this.

NOTE: Use a completely flat lot. This doesn't mean that you should level a lumpy lot with the level terrain tool or use the "level to road" tool - it means you should start with a regular flat lot. Not only can non-flat lots cause issues even when they're not apartments (like cause holes in the terrain and make it impossible to place other lots where those un-level lots were before), but they apparently cause a similar corruption to beach lots for some users. You should, as a builder, get in the habit of using flat lots. You can always use the terrain sculpting tools to make them look unlevel once you're there - just make sure all of the edges are flat.
