    awesome video! I wish when you rented apartments or purchased houses unfurnished it still came with the kitchen and bathroom necessities like when you get a place irl 😂

    I've moved houses a lot IRL, and the new place has always come equipped with plumbing fixtures (toilets, showers, sinks, etc.), lights and kitchen counters. It would be nice to see that reflected in The Sims 4 in all of the properties you can live in.

    I believe the student accommodations in Britechester are technically penthouses. Where their similarities start and end beyond being located on rooftops I couldn't really say as I don't use Britechester often. Another difference between penthouses and residential lots are that residential lots can have up to 8 levels (4 starting from the ground/first floor up, plus another 4 basement levels), whereas penthouses can only have 4 (no basement levels).

    You are correct. In both Ubrite and Foxbury, the student housing in each campus' tower complexes will function exactly like City Living Penthouses if you change their lot type from University Housing to Residential.

    @@Robert_Burnell-Jones you absolutely can change the lot type to whatever you want! I think the only exceptions are Tiny House and Haunted House. you will simply need a trash chute, an elevator, and any one kind of mailbox due to how Penthouses are coded.

    I think I should add that unless your sim likes going outside a lot and bringing their pets wherever they go, do not get a dog if you live in an apartment! Cause whenever my dog had to use the bathroom I had to pick them up and take them outside or go to the park with them like 1-2 times a sim day (sometimes in the middle of the night) I also had to walk my dog more frequently since they couldn't really run around in the apartment. So if you want your sim to live in an apartment, and want a pet, I highly recommend getting a cat.

    Dogs can't go downstairs when they are puppies, when they grow up the should be able to go by themselves. If you play with mods, there's a mat the dog can use inside the apartment, I believe it's made by Ravasheen.

    I hardly use the Penthouses, but when I do, I think I have a mod that allows me to delete all the Livemode objects if I wanna choose to..., like the windows, doors, mailbox and trashshutes, noticeboard, etc. (including neighbors doors if I feel evil ...lol) In the last dozen plays I did in PH's, I have raised the floor because I hate the awfully high walls.., they're just too damn tall for their own good.

The one with all the sunflowers, as well as the one with the fish tanks in the walls are not yet on the gallery (but I plan to pop them up in the future once I tweak them a little bit, apologies!). The very tiny house is up on the gallery too.
