Not required, but moveobjects makes shell placement easier. Then the player will need to type in several cheats: testingcheatsenabled, buydebug, restrictbuildbuyinbuildings off. To build an apartment, the player must make a residential lot of a large size. It is recommended that you have some experience using buydebug, and understand what debug objects do prior to building a custom penthouse/apartment.Īlthough all apartments in the base game are referred to as penthouses, not all of them have rooms available on the top floor. Players can place pools on elevated floors in penthouses as well as windows as the siding in pools. It is best to make this type of building edit before moving in Sims, otherwise players could experience system errors or freezes when a family is actively occupying the space. For additional space, try deleting hidden room markers to expand the size of the unit. Įditing the walls and adding extra room to a penthouse cannot be done in a natural way, though it is possible with the use of the ' RestrictBuildBuyInBuildings false' cheats. Some of the more expensive units can have two stories. Most of the penthouses are one-story, one or two bedroom units and range in price from moderate to very expensive.

Because of this, players can only build within the already existing outer walls, which means they cannot add a new floor. Apart from the residential space, there is a lobby with an intercom to allow visitors to talk to Sims in their rooms and an elevator. Penthouses are based on the shell buildings in World Adventures, such as the pyramids. Playable Sims can actually talk to them, and can ring their doorbell to get them out of their rooms in order to socialize with them.

NPCs are totally random, and can be sometimes seen walking to the elevator and locking doors. However, NPCs will often live there as well, but there are no determinate neighbors in penthouses. The active Sims are the only playable Sims living in the building where the penthouse is located.

Penthouses in Late Night are similar to apartments in The Sims 2: Apartment Life, but do not feature the entire social experience of living in a community.
