Game guide:Building an apartment: Difference between revisions

The player may occasionally wish to edit an existing pre-designed apartment, or edit another custom apartment to suit their own needs. In order to do this, the lot must be vacated completely — all households that have moved into the apartment must be moved out. Changes to furnishings in apartments and communal areas can be done here, but major structural changes, such as walls, fences, stairs, and elevators, are locked. In order to unlock these tools, the lot must be changed back to a residential lot by opening the cheat console ({{key|Ctrl|Shift|C}}) and entering ''‘changelotzoning residential’''. Save the lot, exit to the neighborhood, and reload the lot. Any desired changes can be made then. Once any changes are made, convert the lot into an apartment base, as shown in the paragraph above.

 

Similarly, do not use the ''boolProp aptSubLotSpecificToolsDisabled false'' cheat to edit buy mode objects in communal areas while the apartment has at least one playable resident moved in. Again, this will result in inconsistency and could corrupt the lot. The cheat ''can'' be used to resolve some issues though, such as [[date|date]] and [[outing]] rewards getting stuck outside of apartment units, unable to be picked up in normal buy mode.<ref name="Pescado's Warning 1" />}}
