While playing the adventures in World Adventurer I accumulated so many valuable artifacts That I had this Idea to build a huge mansion where the whole first floor would be like a museum to display all my rare finds. Then I though "Every good mansion should have plenty of guest rooms." so the idea started getting bigger and I started thinking of it as like a Sunset Valley base camp where I could invite lots of foreign visitors to stay and they could each have their own luxury accommodations unlike the way they cram a dozen of us into one room in their base camps.
Now it started looking more like a luxury hotel/resort and then I came across the apartment building thread here and I thought, "Wow, That could work for this building." and Sunset Arms Apartments was born.
Suprisingly I couldn't find enough stuff to make the whole first floor a museum even with buydebug on so the museum part got shrunk to just the lobby and now the rest of the first floor has the largest apartments in the building, including the playable one.
Since I actually bothered to furnish all the units before I came up with the idea to make it an apartment building I'm going to post screenshots of all the floors layouts that will all be black out in the downloadable apartment building version so you can see what they look like. You'll notice the units on the upper floors are really more like hotel suites with their livingroom/bedroom combo main rooms. That was before the apartment building idea.
Anyway, without further ado, I present to you the Sunset Arms Apartments.

and a night view...
Now we'll see the interior starting from the top down...
Next is the 3rd floor. You'll notice there are four elevators at the ends of the hallways and there's a trash chute by each elevator.
And now the second floor...
First floor, this is where the playable unit will be.
and here's the basement...
Yup, an indoor pool in the basement along with public bathrooms and 4 big hot tubs for those unfortunate enough to not have one in their unit. Also laundry room, game room, gym and nectar cellar. I left the whole back of the lot empty so there's lots of room for gardening and farming grapes for your nectar making.
Here's a close up of the Lobby.
and here's a close up of the Playable unit.
and here's where I like to hide the mailbox.
In a rose bush behind a column. I actually don't know if the sims will be able to use it there. I was testing with a sim that has the "No Bills Ever" lifetime reward so she almost never needs the mailbox. But the game will automatically place it and the trash can in the front of the lot when you install any way so I guess it doesn't really matter. Hide it where ever you want.
