Damn! I need this. I particularly love the tub on the half-step foundation.

Very nice! And as seems to be the norm when I look at other people's luxury apartment lots, I'm seeing lots of little details here and there that I'm probably gonna steal- er, borrow in some of my own future builds!

I love that you used items on the diagonal AND proved that they work - thank you for fiddling until they decided to be useful

Thanks for all the comments :D

@ihatemandatoryregister I think you mean the stage? The only half step foundation is what the building is sitting on.

@yo227 I have actually never played the Urbz, which building does it remind you of?

@Zarathustra I would love to know what was new to you! Steal away.

@Red Sonja The shelf on the white TV is actually not attached to the wall but rather placed over the TV. I used either snap on or quarter tile to place it. The one over the low wooden TV might be attached to the wall but the TV is also sunk slightly into the wall so they blend together.

@CatherineTCJD Well the trash chute was no worries which was a nice surprise. The coffee table vs the bookcase another thing entirely! It worked easily on the hotel but not so on an apartment. Hopefully, I will get the hotel up later today.

Haha, well the utility box in the backyard that you made with some of the OFB shelving was the first thing to catch my eye, but I also really like some of the overlapped rugs, the stuff you used to make your "fishtank" stand out a little more than most fake tanks using that approach, floor-level windows as "fencing," and the BBQ inset into a countertop (which I've seen before, I think even from you, but had forgotten about)! All clever tricks, and certainly enough to make me think!

Congrats on the Pick too!

Thanks Zar. The BBQ I have done on a few lots, I just find them a bit ugly sitting out all naked lol.

You are such a great builder using no CC, I appreciate the thoughts.

It does not necessarily remind me of a building from the Urbz, but there is a very fancy penthouse lot in the Urbz that is called diamond heights

@grammapat The details are in the description with a link to the shopping on apartment lot mod. With the mod installed you can buy groceries.

Jo - I clicked the link for Chris Hatch's Lot Compressor Add-on, but all I got was his profile here on MTS2. I hadn't heard of his add-on before, and would like it. Where do I get it?
Thanksies!

Yeah, burglars can rob in apartments (talking from experience) to answer your question.

I love this, but can't download. I keep getting an error that the file is unknown or damaged. Same for the hotel version. Not happening with other posts.

@shippie you probably need to download the newest WinRar. These lots are packed on the new version and the old one won't open it.

Did you see my reply above? You need to have the updated version of Winrar. I double-checked and it downloads and opens for me. This was zipped with version 5.50 Right-click on your WinRAR and check the version.

This is awesome! Your attention to detail is fantastic and I love how you have decorated the apartments. And hearing 'smoko' again took me back to my backpacking days XD Thanks so much for this, look forward to playing it!
