Did I say High Rise?! Well, yes...in fact...I did! It's not the type of high rise you might be expecting though. I decided to create a building with a luxurious "old school" feel to it. Kind of like it's a condo that's been in an old money family for years. ;) It is decorated as a traditional home, rather than the modern that seems to dominate high rises. It also contains absolutely NO CC. Yup...a completely EA only skyscraper. :D There are 2 beds and 2 baths, 3 fireplaces...all fireproofed already...and even a formal dining and full library! The master has its own bath and is a very nice size. Enjoy the shots, and check out the tips for apartments I listed below!

A few tips and tricks I learned about these fascinating buildings:

1 - You don't actually want to put any more high rises in Bridgewater UNLESS you:

•     Delete a few of the high rises already there.

•     Create/download a community lot which requires a bunch of new NPCs to spawn

Why? Well for one thing, each neighborhood has a pool of NPCs but they are already living in the lots that are pre-made. Basically there would be no one left to move into your apartment building. Better to either do the two things I posted above if you MUST have it in Bridgewater, or place it as I have for testing and these shots...in Sunset Valley or some other neighborhood.

2 - The apartment mailbox will move occasionally from its place on the wall to in front of the building like a regular mailbox when you move the lot. Don't panic! :D Just grab it and place it on the wall where it belongs.

3 - If you don't want a variety of "neighbors", but would instead like to see the same faces all the time in your building, simply ring the bell on their apartment doors and chat with them. This locks the person to that door and they will be your neighbor...for good, or bad. ;)

Apartments can be fun, so enjoy them! Hope you like the new lot!
