Bit o' Bo Kaap --7 apts, no cc--
I had never heard of the Bo-Kaap until JustPetro posted row houses based on it a little while ago. (Check them out, they're pretty cute) But then of course I had to Google it. And then I wandered around it in Google streetview.
And yeah. Freakin amazing. So I made a block based on it, hope you enjoy.
Basic Blue -- 1 bedroom, 1 bath, rent: 1,179
Affordably modern
Old Gold -- 2 bedrooms, bath and a half, rent: 2,102
Cozy opulence
Fairytale Studio -- no bedrooms, barely a bathroom, rent: 828
Lavender loveliness
Growing Family -- 2 bedrooms, bath and a half, rent: 2,589
Tranquil greens
Little Lime -- 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, rent: 1,454
It's scrumptious
Punchy Pink -- 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, rent: 2,672
Loud and proud
Great Big Orange -- 4 bedrooms, 2 and a half baths, rent: 4,027
Three stories for that three-generation family
Corner Store
A bit of everything. It'll just be decorative unless you have the mod listed below to make the cash register spawn a clerk. Even with the mod only specific community lot items are for sale (clothes, magazines, video games, perfume, jewelry, groceries) the rest is just ambiance
Maker Space and Music Studio
Since you probably don't have room for a toy crafting station or a piano in your apartment
Community Center and Pool
Eat snacks, play games, and shoot the breeze with your neighbors. Maybe it's not realistic to have a pool, but...whatever, it's fun.
Just a few notes
- No custom content included or required
- The lot has some big elevation changes (the real neighborhood is built on a hillside), but the edges are all flat, so don't worry about that
- Cars are first-come-first-served on apartment lots, but you can use them.
- Constrainfloorelevation false was used for the not-actually foundation. It's missing select pieces so walls will drop correctly on the bottom level.
- Moveobjects was used and some things aren't snapped to grid, but the furniture works
- Burglar alarms behind fridges, Fire alarms above fridges, and in a few other places
- There is a phone in every apartment
A copy of the lot was play tested, but please message me if you run into any problems
Reccomended Mods
- Apartments and Shopping, on the same Lot! by MogHughson So that the cash register in the store will spawn a clerk to make it a working store instead of a decorative one
- No Apartment Noises - Global Mod by Marhis -- Optional, but very nice. I spent a little while trying to minimize noise problems on this lot, and then...I decided to heck with it. I hate that "feature" anyway.
- Rugs - zMOG!! Off Grid!! by HugeLunatic --You don't need it, but it's awesome, and if you don't have it some of the rugs will look funky until you pick them up and put them on grid
- Water Inaccesible Flowers by dickhurt --If you don't want it you could of course just delete any problem flowers you run across.
- Trim Inaccessible Bushes by Cyjon --Likewise for bushes
Lot Size: 5x3
Lot Price (furnished): 712,497 were it to be made residential
Additional Credits:
The first four links are for Maxis items made "buyable", you don't need to download them for them to show up when you load the lot, they are already in the game, these just add them to the catalog so you can build with them.
- Buyable Game objects by HugeLunatic
- Buyable Reagents by Neder
- Buyable Aspiration & Career Rewards by Sophie-David
- Crafted Objects and Fish in Buy Mode by Ponderosa
- Lot size adjusted with LotAdjuster3.6
- No Pause Frame by Nopke

About Me
I always build CC-free because if I don't have a limited number of options I will never, ever be satisfied and I will spend days and days looking for one counter that fits this kitchen perfectly--and I finally found it--but I had to edit the texture a bit because it didn't tile perfectly, but it's finally done--Oh wait, I changed the wallpaper so now I need to scour the entire internet for counters all over again, and--and I will literally never finish anything. So I've limited myself. But at least CC-free is convenient for downloading. Hope you enjoy them!
Feel free to message me with questions or constructive criticism regarding my uploads.
-- Policy --
-Do not upload my work to other sites.
-Feel free to use my lots in the background for movies or pictures or whatever.
-If you make SIGNIFICANT changes to a lot you may upload it, just not to pay sites.
-For either of the above make sure to give credit and link back to me.
And please use good judgement on the definition of significant. Redecorating one room is not significant. Redecorating the whole house in a different style or for a different purpose is. Adding one room is not significant. Adding a whole other wing or building and updating the landscaping is. That being said if you do use my lot as a jumping off point, by all means message me a link when you upload it because I'd love to see what you come up with.
Weird little sidenote: I often edit lots I download to have different size footprints to fit in with my neighborhood. It can often involve doing tedious things like making a whole building three tiles narrower so that it will fit inside 20 squares, and then a million little changes are necessary to keep the lot functioning and looking good. I don't know if anyone else ever does that, however if you do but then find the result isn't really "significant" enough to be it's own post (4x5 => 4x4 probably not significant, 4x5 => 2x2 significant unless all you did was get rid of the yard) you might want to message me, because I'd be interested in adding yours as an alternate version to download on my original post (with credit and a link to your profile)
