    Hiya Ouerbacker,

    Please can you tell me how you made the apartments useable in these pictures? I thought that we could only use them as decoration.

    Hiya Ouerbacker,

    Please can you tell me how you made the apartments useable in these pictures? I thought that we could only use them as decoration.

    Here is a tutorial on how to make a basic apartment.

    http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Tutorials:TS3_Sims_3_Apartments

    My apartments follow the same basic concept , but include a little CFE and Moo. I use Constrainfloorelevation false to get the height and moveobjects on to place the elevators.

    If you would like to look at a completed example of a custom apartment simply download this http://www.mediafire.com/?8e2zc0xb7vo0h3n
    and take a look at this building http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee510/Ouerbacker/Screenshot-104-1.jpg

    When looking at the building I would recommend turning on testingCheatsEnabled true ,restrictbuildbuyinbuildings false and buydebug on.
    These three cheats will allow you to see were I have place all of the little orbs.
    I should also point out that there are public room orbs in all of the elevator shafts.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to help and explain! :D:D:D
    I understand how to build basic apartments but I didn't realise we could use the evelators to make floors playable.

    That's not good at all. Could you please download the file below and see if it works? This is a testing version from last week.

    I was going to try and install the file to let you know whether or not it could be done and beta test it but there is too much cc attached to the world. Pic from Custard below.

    I didn't even attempt to clean it with Custard because I saw a window and door among the cc. I felt that could mean I could end up with buildings that were glitched and not work properly.

    I would be happy to beta test for you if the cc is removed.

    Here is a version with no CC. It still does contain a few store objects that are not used in the world.

    Thanks for noticeing that the file contained CC. No CC was actually used to build anything in this world. The CC showing on that list simply attached itself to the disko world file.

    So i tried to download the no cc link. It finished downloading, but my winzip thing never popped up for it to finish downloading, and instead the sims 3 launcher popped up, so i went to the downloads and the world wasnt even there for me to install.. I am not sure what else to do? Sorry, I feel like I am always asking you for help haha.

    With this one your should not looking for a rar file. Instead, you should be looking a sims 3 pack file. I didn't compress this one into a rar file format because I was feeling lazy the day I uploaded this . If you completed the installation with the sims 3 pack file the world should be in your game . If this is not the case you probably redownload it and do that. Don't feel bad about asking me for help.

    Ok, whatever I do I can't get the world installed trough my launcher. It hangs in the middle of the installation. If its your world or my launcher because I have to many simpacks installed (<--- happens a lot) I can't say. I am going to try to install another world and see if I still have to problem.

    *edit* I can install other worlds just fine, even big ones.
    Sorry I couldn't test it for you.

    It works!! It works!!!

    One note, the intro movie thing, skip it. It was going a little crazy and it took long minutes (it felt like that) before the menu appeared. Going to explore now!

    God, its a big world. The swamp looks very scary. Love that!

    I'm happy to hear that you got it to work. Be aware there are still issues with game play - mainly freezing up. I am continuing to work on the routing to try to fix these problems.

    I would love to test your world , but I've downloaded it twice now and I can't see to find a program which would open it.

    Here is a link to a version that is not in a RAR file.
    Just download and double click. It should install right into the game.
