I love apartments for single sims and I greatly prefer a starter apartment to a starter home. San myshuno is semi open and very nice. Im finally starting to have a play style figured out. As im not one of those people who like to jump right into child rearing the second i turn the game on, I quite enjoy having my sims live in apartments and hold off having children until later in life.
Thats how I play my fun (but strictly no cheats save). But if I get the desire to play with families i would rather just put them into a large family home, not a starter. Just wanted to share my enjoyment of apartments since City Living debuted so long ago.

They are so fun to decorate! Because unlike a 30x20 or so family house you can decorate them so quickly and see most all the decor in one tight space . its cool

The idea of renting or a mortgage system is interesting. I don't like using cheats in my game, so this would be a good way of moving Sims in to homes that would be best for the plans I have for them.
probably because my sims neighbor is also my own sim. but she has not been a noisy neighbor *knock on wood*

Right now, I'm playing a baker. She works part time as a barista in the mornings, then bakes all day and sells her goods at a table in the Spice District. One day, maybe she'll be able to buy a storefront bakery, but with her income so far, it's going to be tough. On top of the bakery dream, she wants a big family, but I suspect that won't happen for a very long time at this rate. It's a struggle, and it's a lot of fun, on top of the apartment living situations she gets into. The gameplay itself feels very natural.
So yeah, apartments are very excellent!

I don't use cheats, CC, or mods so suggesting to have pretend apts is also not a solution. I just go with out and only place Sims for friendships that i never play with otherwise in the CL apts.

I guess that some of the households in my game have been dealing with generational societal assimilation. That's definitely the case in San Myshuno.
Some of my sims do move into small houses in the different neighborhoods or inherit from their parents. It's kind of a free-for-all of different sim personalities but that keeps things interesting. At any given time, I know the back stories of the sims who are wandering around on the street. I wouldn't start this game over like that if I had to start over because it's complicated and involved, but it's fun the way that I have it.
I haven't played with Sulani or those sims at all. (I just went for the sale). I will check them out and see how they get incorporated in my game. There's a nearly even split in my game between households in Willow Creek, San Myshuno and Windenburg with a few in Oasis Springs and a few others scattered around.
I still enjoy my Sims hanging out in My Shuno - going to festivals, parties, and clubs on days off from work. I also like my sims keeping a lot of their old ties but when Strangerville came out I did start a new save and then also started one in Sulani as well.
