ChangelogAdded new settings.  You'll find on a basegame computer.  If you cannot find the custom venues use this settings option to become a Landlord or quit being a Landlord.  Next, setup the apartment lot, place the computer and operate the property as a Landlord as usual.

If you download this version 1.2 please remember to remove the previous version.

If you have any issues please let me know and I'll make adjustments.

Version 2 coming soon.  It'll add new content and fix all buffs looting at the same time.

Ownable Apartments adds three new venue types you can purchase and manage. Purchase Luxury Apartments, Low Income Apartments, and Condos.

What You'll NeedGet To Work Expansion PackZerbu's venue list  - DOWNLOAD HERE

Setup An Apartment ComplexDecide what type of apartment complex you want to manage. Luxury, Low Income, or Condo.  You can find apartments already build on the gallery or build one for yourself. You'll need a leasing office within the property that contains a basegame computer. Many of you the management options are first performed on a computer.

Give the lot one of the new venue types.

Note: This mod does not work with City Living Apartments.

The venue type will revert back to "Generic" after you purchase.

How This WorksPurchase an apartment complex through the new "Apartments" menu using a basegame computer. You'll have 3 property options. Select which you prefer.  You'll then make the purchase and travel to the lot.

Be sure to make apartment purchases from your residential lot.

The retail store UI will not function with this mod.  You will still have to transfer funds and sell the lot afterwards but that's the only thing you should use.

How To Fill Apartment VacanciesUse the computer interaction "Fill Apartment Vacancy".  This interaction will spawn an applicant for you to ask tenant screening questions.  If you want you can approve or deny right away or ask needed questions.  They'll give answers to make a judgement call.

From the Apartments menu select Leasing Office, where you'll find "Fill Apartment Vacancy".

Landlord Trait | Apartment Tenant Screening | CommunityWhen you purchase an apartment complex you'll get the Landlord Trait and unlock a Landlord Social menu.  This menu gives you access to Apartment Tenant Screening and Community interactions.

You can ask:-How much income do you earn?-Where are you employed?-Do you have a felony?-Approve apartment lease-Deny apartment lease-Evict a tenant (will remove the tenant trait from the npc)

The community menu has a couple of interactions designed to make small talk with tenants living in your apartment complex.

All approved tenants can be invited to the  property at any time from the Leasing Office menu.  They will not appear automatically.  Evicted tenants will not return to the property.

Landlord ExperienceSims with the Landlord trait will get random buffs from tenants complaining about different maintenance issues.  They'll get these buffs anywhere.  To remove these buffs wait 2 hours.  Depending on the issue you can remove the buff by scheduling a maintenance service provider.  The service provider will do multiple jobs and mostly just roam around.

Find these interactions behind the Apartments compute menu and Services.  Each service request will cost money expenses.

Earn MoneyCollect Rent from the Leasing Office menu every 24 hours.

Known Issues:Stress Moodlets for repairs are happening at the same time making the Sim too tense to use the computer.  I'll try to figure out how to either reduce each moodlet and have them loot separately.

Currently no option to remove the Landlord trait.  You'll be stuck getting the moodlets if you've sold the apartment complex.

If you experience any other issues please let me know below.

How To Install-Unzip file.  Keep all files in the folder.  Place the folder in your Sims 4 Mods Folder.-Sims 4 game options, mods and script mods need to be enabled.-Requires the latest version of Sims 4

Terms Of Use-Do not claim this mod as your own-Do not re-upload to any site-Translations cannot include the mod.  Only stringtables.

Build Credit: Japanese Manshon by amitaliri on the gallery

Update:  I removed the rar file due to unzipping issues.  The 4 files are all required for the mod to work.  Place them into a folder, then into your Sims 4 Mods folder.

omg i'm so excited to use this in my game😍

wickedpixxel

Yes, just don't include the mod with the translation download.

Kiara Jade

hi i downloaded the venue change, rar file, and placed a base game computer and i cant see the apartments in the options or the venue type.

wickedpixxel

Please make sure you unzipped the file from the rar file and placed it in your sims 4 mods folder. Also be sure script mods are enabled in game settings.

wickedpixxel

Let me know if you're still having an issue.

JLaw

I am having the same issues I followed all the step.

wickedpixxel

Are any of the interactions showing up for you?

Kiara Jade

When it download it only downloaded as a single file not a zip. I redid it and can now see the apartment option on the computer but I still can’t see the different lot options and I definitely unzipped those.

wickedpixxel

The single file should be titled Ownable Apartments which contains the mod. Next the issue could be that zerbu's venue list isn't picking up the venues. Basemental Drugs has a venue list and littlemssam, a few others too. I tried those they didn't work for me but they might work for you. https://basementalcc.com/mods/universal-venue-list/

wickedpixxel

Make sure you unzipped the file using a program like winrar, script mods are enabled in game settings, and try different venue lists if you don't see the venues.

2026-09-07 04:00 Please can you tell me what are stringtables?
2023-02-10 16:03

wickedpixxel

Stringtables are text basically. The words in an interaction. You can add them in Sims4studio or mod constructor.

Tawonna J Parker

This is so dope. I'm so excited about this mod like all the others you've created.

Asia Huggins

Unfortunately, it isn't working for me. Such a bummer, but I love the idea!

wickedpixxel

Please make sure you've unzipped the file using a program called winrar. You also need a basegame computer and compatible venue list. If the venue list isn't working above try a different one from littlemssam or basemental. There are others you can search "sims 4 venue list" on google to find. Hope this helps.

Sweet and Spicy Sims

Ugh, it's not working for me. I've followed all the instructions. But I don't get the options :(. Does it conflict with any mods?

wickedpixxel

You don't get the interactions on the computer?

wickedpixxel

Please let me know more specifics of the issue. I'll also be posting a full guide on how to troubleshoot my mods to help people get the mods working.

wickedpixxel

You'll need to try a different venue list. Basemental has one, littlemssam too. Search google for "Sims 4 venue list" to find them all. Or wait, I'm creating the guide I mentioned above which will contain all those links for you.

Sweet and Spicy Sims

I tried all of those different venue lists, and still nothing :(

wickedpixxel

No problem, I'll release an update sometime this week where the purchase option isn't needed and just set the venues to generic. Sorry the venue lists aren't working. Also make sure you're using a basegame computer. Switch residential lot and try the basegame computer again. This actually fixes the issue sometimes.

Sweet and Spicy Sims

Ok. I can't wait. I have the option on my computer for the apartments, but its not available, bc it says no available lots. So my issue is the lots. :(.

wickedpixxel

You have to setup a lot before you can purchase by giving a lot the venue type. Then it'll show up on when it's time to purchase.

Sweet and Spicy Sims

Yeah, I know. The issue is I don't get those venue types listed. With any of the venue lists. Idk why. I have even removed all my mods and just that and a venue list, and still nothing

wickedpixxel

You'll probably have to use the non purchase version coming out soon. You'll still be able to run the apartment etc.

Freyya_

Makes sense since you can't really build those apartments that came with city life anyways :p

TheBiggestMomma

I want to use this so bad but when I click the link it I only get one file not a folder to unzip

wickedpixxel

Are you using winrar? it'll unzip the file. Otherwise I'm not sure why the file won't unzip.

wickedpixxel

If anyone has an issue just let me know. Especially with downloading the zip file or getting the venue to show up.

wickedpixxel

Make sure you're using a basegame computer. All-in-one power pc seems to work best. I'd leave all the files in the folder instead of loose in the sims 4 mod folder but don't place the script package file deep within other folders. The mod won't work. Another reason could be all files were not unzipped. Let me know if this helped you or not.

Hardcopy

I got this to work (had to cheat a little). My only question is: Do tenants go to their own apartment or do I have to assign it to them?

TheBiggestMomma

I was successful buttttt now when I go to Apartments on the cpu it says there aren't any available lots to purchase

wickedpixxel

It's really up to you. You can assign rooms through door lock interaction, beds, or just let them roam freely.

wickedpixxel

Make sure you setup a lot before you purchase by giving it the generic venue type or ownable apartments venue type.

wickedpixxel

I'll be sending my venue ids to the basemental list soon as I get a chance. Then that universal venue list should work best. Will try to get to that this week. That should help with the venues not showing up.

TheBiggestMomma

I’m sorry for being a bother but how do I set up another lot besides purchase retail store ?

Tay Simmer

It wouldn't let me unzip for some reason, I have winrar on my pc, but it isnt giving the option to unzip

wickedpixxel

Give the lot the ownable apartment venue type or generic venue type. Then it'll show those lots available for purchase. If you don't see the venues could be the venue list. You might try leaving the lot and going back to it to see if the custom venues populate.

wickedpixxel

I don't know what the issue is with the unzipping but I've added the files separately that you can put into a folder and place in your Sims 4 Mods Folder.

Tay Simmer

Thanks, I have it in game now, and I can see the custom apartments lot type on the gallery, but when I try to set lot type as luxury apartment, it isn't there.

wickedpixxel

Okay, it's probably the venue list which I'm adding my venue id's soon to the basemental one. Meanwhile you can still play without purchasing the lot. Just set it up, give your Sim the landlord trait from the computer apartment settings.

2026-09-07 04:00 I didn't have any issues with it , but should I still update to the latest? I downloaded 1.2.
2023-02-22 15:19

wickedpixxel

No need to update because it just added the ability to run the apartment without purchasing. For some the venues didn't show up. If that happens then update.

Carl Studebaker

Try using the 7-zip compression app for Windows operating systems. I have no problem unzipping .rar compressed files and highly recommend it for nearly all file compressing formats. Here's the link to download it. https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Tay Simmer

The apartment setting isn't popping up for me either. I'll just wait until the Basemental one is finished before I attempt to play, something is probably causing the mod to conflict.

wickedpixxel

Be sure to use a basegame computer, all-in-one power pc. The settings aren't tied to a venue list. Try a different computer and make sure the mod in installed correctly. Should help. Let me know.

Danielle Moser

hi i just downloaded this today, when a tenant comes over and if you deny them why wont they leave after you denied their appl

wickedpixxel

For some reason the images aren't showing up. I'll probably have to create a video tutorial for this.

Moonchild783

Hi there, Is it possible to have the option to buy an apartment available on any computer?

wickedpixxel

It's injected on basegame computers. I use modconstructor for the script file and it's the only computers that show up. I'm just now testing modcontructor 5 and will see if that injects on more computers. The other option is xml injector. But this version just basegame.

Moonchild783

Enjoying the mod so far. I love the concept of owning apartments. Not sure if this is already a feature, but have you thought about making it possible to for the landlord to assign specific units to sims? Similar to assigning roommates to beds/students to dorms? Just curious. Can't wait to see what's next.

LegionLegend

I installed into my mods folder but on the base game computer it says there are no available apartments to purchase. Why is that?

wickedpixxel

Make sure the apartment venue type is showing up in the venue options. Set a lot to that venue type. It should show up as available. Also be aware that once you do it'll still revert back to a generic lot type.

LegionLegend

now its saying that i dont have any low income or luxury apartments. I dont have a venue option for that?

LegionLegend

I dont see apartment as a venue type. What should I do now?

Diamond Arbuthnot

Hey, I've added this mod to my folder but nothing appears in game. Is there any mods that this mods conflicts with?

Nyquis Morgan

Just downloaded your mod and I’m trying to have my landlord live in an apartment in the building. Is there any way this is possible?

Anna Graham

Do you have Zerbu's venue list installed you’ll need it to see the Venue types
