Thank you. I've had a quick play, which actually turned into a longer play. RestrictBuyInBuildings is my friend, lol. It works very well. Haven't sussed out about the NPC doors yet - shift-control-click didn't give the right options - but hope to later. The apartments aren't starter prices but they're gorgeous, so I don't really mind.
Gives me inspiration to have a go at creating starter apartment of my own too, so thank you again.
Looked for the photos. Found the one by the blue bed of Caylie, taken by Pepper Razzi (great name 
) but couldn't find any others that viewed as a photo, though Chester - my test sim - loved all of the paintings. He was thrilled to be in the apartments and immediately wanted to make hamburgers. I did find a camera though and am wondering what other surprises or hidden treasures there are to find. I look forward to finding out. Thanks, again, for sharing.
Only one photo? Darn, I had two in that room and I really wanted the other one in particular to transfer. It's of a blonde in a red bikini, you can see it next to the Diva Doll poster in the screenshot. Glad to hear the other went through though, I love decorating with photos and I'll definitely do it more with future buildings. As for the little details, I "finished" the building just before the Exchange glitched up for a few weeks so I had plenty of time to add some extra touches, and I liked it so much it's now standard for me to wait at least a week after finishing a house before I upload it. Glad to hear you're inspired, use that +15 moodlet while you can and put something cool on the Swap Shop for us!
Hmmm, it's strange the NPC doors didn't work for you, did you have the TCE and RBBB cheats on at the time?
The building looks good and interesting, but I have to say your real power comes in furnituring Ausette. Especially with defining space and color.
That's the very reason why I love building apartments so much
. I find that having a really small space to work with makes you experiment more with layouts and colours because there isn't much you can do without making it too cramped. Decorating this building was a lot of fun because I wanted each flat to have similar floorplans but completely different atmospheres, and I ended up giving them old-fashioned, "normal" and modern themes (hence "Centennial" Flats).
