Landlords are NPCs who the Sim has to pay the rent for. Sims can call landlords to help on things such as clearing out pests, repair broken objects and fix plumbing or faulty electrical wires. A Sim who has a good relationship with the landlord will have them wanting to fix broken objects more frequently.
If the landlord is called to way too much, they will refuse to fix whatever problems are in the apartment. Rent is due on a weekly basis. Sims can pay the rent by clicking their apartment mailbox located in the common area, on the computer , or on their personal cellphones. The amount of the rent depends on the apartment.
Some low-end apartments have very cheap rent and richer apartments will have more costly ones. If the rent has not been payed by a Sim who is a teen or older, their utilities will be turned off one by one until the rent has been payed, similarly to bills. In San Myshuno, some apartments have a special lot trait that can't be removed by the player.
This lot trait adds special pests and filth to the apartment such as cockroaches , mice and sludge filth that leaks through the sewers. These pests will give Sims tense and uncomfortable moodlets. Sims can try to exterminate them by themselves, but there is a chance of a failure and making the pest even worse. The landlord can easily destroy them, but it is depended on the relationship the Sim has with the landlord. Cats can also hunt mice. A fire that occurs in an apartment building will be noticed by Sims living in the building.
When a fire breaks out, Sims will leave their apartments, then panic. They will not gather around the fire, unlike on normal residential lots and some Sims in the household will immediately extinguish the fire. If there is a toddler in the apartment, an older Sim will carry them out. All common areas in apartment buildings have a bulletin board that can be used by Sims.
They are usually used as a way to check out the latest festival and to leave either a passive-aggressive note or an affirming note based on the Sims' mood. Neighbors will occasionally leave notes on the board that Sims can read. If a Sim reads a note leaved by their neighbor, a notification will appear telling the notes content and the Sim will gain a happy moodlet. As apartments are located inside big buildings with other residents, some elements in Build mode have been restricted.
Players can't remove outer walls, windows or doors. However, inner walls can be added and removed by the player, along with wallpapers, flooring, columns, and fences being modifiable. Basements and fountains can't be built in apartments, but pools can be. Some apartments have special objects that can't be removed in any form by the player.
These include special fireplaces, memorial plaques, sewers, mouse holes, pipes, and electrical wires. On the other hand, all normal build mode objects are available in apartments except for rocket ships. Every apartment in San Myshuno has pre-selected lot traits that can be modified by the player. However, some apartments have special locked traits that can't be removed. This is because some shells have objects or pests in them that require these specific traits. Living in an apartment complex comes with its 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 who have high friendly relationships with their neighbors or any other Sim can give them the key to their apartment, allowing them to walk into the household apartment anytime they like. The key holders come out randomly in the day starting a social event, which is usually things such as pop ins, game nights, and normal hangouts. Players can cancel the Sims' social event whenever the player wants.
After doing that the key holder will disappear, with no relationships being reduced. Additionally, Sims can revoke the keys from the key holders. 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. 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. Apartments occupied by neighbors will turn grey with a ceiling type texture on top. This helps distinguish which part of the building belongs to the players Sims' apartment. While the other apartments are covered in a fog of privacy, players cannot see objects or Sims inside it, but can see the layout of the apartment.
In order to view the content of the apartment, Sims must knock on the door and be welcomed in. Newly moved households will be welcomed to the neighborhood, similar to when a household is moved into a normal lot. The neighbors will come to greet the new residents with gourmet fruitcake and they arrive about 3 hours after the household has moved in. If the neighbors are not greeted within a couple hours, the welcome wagon event will end and the neighbors will leave with a decrease in their relationships with the members of the household.
If there are no neighbors in the apartment building, Sims from other apartment complexes in the neighborhood will come instead. If there aren't Sims living the neighborhood, there will be no welcome wagon at all. Neighbors will not invite themselves over to the Sims' apartment, unless they have the goofball trait. 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 trait. If a visiting Sim leaves trashes on the ground, unfinished paintings on the easel, dirty and broken objects, or steals objects in the neighbors apartment and leaves, when 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 in the apartment when the player changes to play as another household, the visiting Sim will still be there, but in a different position. It is a good opportunity for Sims to socialize with them. The neighbor s will eventually return to their apartments. Neighbor toddlers will never get out from their apartments, if the Sim isn't visiting them.
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 neighbor in the night, the neighbor will answer and say that they are sleeping, even though they're completely awake when visiting them.
Sometimes the neighbors aren't also available when Sims try to ask them to hangout. As Sims live in close quarters in apartments, a lot of the things they mostly do is everybody's concern. If Sims make noise very late in the evening, at night, or very early in the morning, a neighbor might come to the front door and ask if the Sim could be quiet. Sims might respond willingly or shrug to the complainer, with both reducing the relationship. If the Sim who made the noise won't answer the neighbor at all, they will call that Sim a horrible neighbor and walk back to their own apartment.
Noise made by the playable Sims can be annoyingly loud for the neighbors. The more noisy activities the Sims do, the more likely neighbors will complain. The types of activities that can create noise are:. Throwing a social event such as a house party or a costume party in the evening can be very hard for the Sims to achieve, as the party can easily end at night, and neighbors will likely complain about it.
It is suggested to throw these parties in the afternoon for no neighbor complains. Neighbors will also produce their own type of noise. The probability of the noise production can also depend on the lot traits of the apartment. If the quiet lot trait is locked into the Sims' apartment, the noise will never happen. Apartments locked with the lively neighbors lot trait will instead cause the neighbors to produce noise even more frequently.
