===Neighbors===
Living in an apartment complex comes with it's own upside and downsides, with one of them being close door neighbors. Sim can socialize and befriend with them, become enemies, or even find a new romance. The apartment buildings in San Myshuno have usually one pre-made household in them, but the player can add as many households the building can occupy. Unlike other residential lots, the game will not create random townies to live in the apartments. Instead the player has to put manually their own neighbors if the pre-made ones have moved out, been deleted, or died. Sims can give trusted Sims and neighbors the key to their apartment, allowing those Sims to walk into the household apartment anytime they like.
While Sims are cooking or doing something "cool", neighbors will knock on the Sims' door and ask if they can come in. Sometimes neighbors will be bored and ask the apartments Sims to do something interesting, and sometimes they might ask to use the shower if their apartment is having water problems or shower problems. Sims can deny and accept all of these requests and when accepting, the neighbor will come in, do the things they want to do, and leave.
====Fog of privacy====

====Visiting the neighbors====
Neighbors will not invite themselves over to the Sims' apartment. They can be invited into the apartment through the cellphone, by talking to them when they're in the common area, or by knocking on their door. When a neighbor is visiting, they will autonomously try to enjoy themselves. The neighbor will leave on their own sometimes later, or Sims can just ask them to leave.
Sims can also visit their neighbors apartments, but when doing so a loading screen will appear. After that, Sims can knock on the door and if the neighbors are in the apartment, the Sim will usually be invited in. While visiting the neighbor Sims can do pretty much the same things as in their own apartments, but they can do inappropriate actions such as sleeping on their beds, cooking food, or taking a shower. The neighbor will warn the Sim from doing these actions and if it's continued, the Sim will be kicked out and can't go in again for a while. This can however be avoided by purchasing the "Always Welcome" [[Aspiration reward (The Sims 4)|aspiration reward]] trait.
When trying to visit the neighbors or ask them to hangout, the following conditions must be met:
* The neighbor must be on the lot
*
If a visiting Sim leaves unfinished paintings, trashes on the ground, dirty or broken objects or steals objects in the neighbors apartment and leaves, and the player switches to play as the neighbors, everything will remain in the same state as they were, when the visiting Sim left. If the Sim visiting is still on the apartment when the player changes to play as the neighbors, the visiting Sim will still be there, but in a different position.
====Mingling in common areas====
Neighbors usually come out from their apartments into the common area to pay rent, take the trash, or go to work/school. It is a good opportunity for Sims to socialize with them. The neighbor(s) will eventually return to their apartments if their needs become too low.
Neighbor [[toddler]]s will never get out from their apartments, if the Sim isn't visiting them.
====Errands====
Neighbors aren't always available to be interact with as they will still have own responsibilities. They will go to work and [[school]], and their schedule depends on their [[career]] and the career level. They will depart as soon as the work hour starts. Playable neighbors won't gain or lose any salary, work performance, school grades or career level when another household is being played.
Neighbors seem to never go to sleep and are usually available at any time of the day or night, unless everyone is at work or school. If Sims call their neighbors in the night the neighbors will answer and say that they are sleeping, even though they're completely awake when visiting them. Sometimes randomly neighbors aren't available for hanging out, when Sims try to knock on their door.
