Can you build your own apartments in sims 2 apartment life?

Question

if so, how? please be as descriptive as possible. i simply cannot figure this out and its driving me mad.

Answer 1

I had the same problem, I found this in the read me word for word:

changelotzoning [residential | community | apartmentbase]

This changes the zoning type of the lot. Before rezoning a lot using this cheat, make sure there are no Sims currently living in the lot. To use this cheat, enter the lot that you would like to rezone, and then enter the cheat, choosing one of these zoning options.

Answer 2

build the apartment how ever u want it on a residential lot then when you're done press ctrl+shift+c and type: ChangeLotZoning ApartmentBase in the white box.
