Once upon a time I saw a 1x1 starter lot here on MTS, and I was impressed by how much fit into such a tiny space, and how stylish it was. The lot was Rookland Lane by TotallySimsCrazy. I wanted to make something similar myself, and when I found myself wanting cheap apartments that idea came back. The end result is Pastel Lane Apartments.
Pastel Lane is a suburban-feel apartment complex, for single Sims who don't have a whole lot of cash. Or just for Sim-players who like tiny lots! There are four apartments, in two slightly different shapes.
I hope you guys like it!
Size: 1x2
Rent: 530-601 simoleons
In case someone wants to make changes before using it, I have included a version that hasn't been converted to apartment lot. So if you think you want to change something, download the residential version and make your changes, then rezone it to apartment.
CC used
Because the idea is to have a tiny lot, I chose to use two pieces of CC that save some space.
- One tile desk by HugeLunatic
- Supa mini fridge by Targa (A version of the uni mini fridge that allows all meals to be cooked)
If you don't want to use these, read below under known issues.
Known issues
While play-testing this I discovered that the bathroom door has a tendency to get stuck in open mode. I've tried to find the cause, but haven't been able to locate it. Replicating situation doesn't always result in stuck doors, so it'll react differently for different people. If the door gets stuck for you, the mod doorjamfix by Pescado will fix it. You can find it here. If you don't want the mod, I suggest downloading the residential version, and changing the bathroom doors to archways.
Not installing the CC has made the lot crash when attempting to rent, for some testers but not for others. So to be on the safe side, if you decide to skip the CC, go in and remove the fridge and desk before you move in any Sims.
Misc info
- Uploaded lot has never been inhabited
- All four apartments have been play-tested, and I've found no issues aside from the bathroom door.
- Lot was shrunk with Lot Adjustor
- The furniture in front of each apartment is considered public, and the gate can't be locked. The front yards are intended to improve the feel of the lot.
A big thank you to joandsarah and iCad for testing this for me. To ScaryRob for looking at the bathroom door issue, and to TotallySimsCrazy for the inspiration for this lot.

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.

About my creations
--- Currently retired from creating due to health reasons ----
--- No longer sharing content on MTS ---
I hope to return one day but for now consider me retired, and my uploads unsupported. I still share things sometimes on tumblr and I chat on discord servers, but I do not promise support for things I've shared as I don't know when or if I'm around and whether or not I'll have the ability and energy to do something if I am around.
If you ever downloaded something of mine, thank you! It's a great feeling seeing something you spent time on be useful to someone else in their game, and with all the great CC out there I'm very flattered you would choose to get something of mine.
I do not take requests. I do sometimes make things for people, but only when I see someone wishing for something on the forums and I feel like making it for them. So if you have a mod you wish would exist, make a post in Hacks and CC that you'd like to see!-thread. That's what it's there for after all! :)
A shoutout to VioletPadfoot for inspiring me to try creating, long ago. You gave me the nudge that got me started, and I'm very grateful. I'd also like to thank all of the wonderful experienced creators (gdayars, justJones, maybesomethingdunno, NixNivis, whoward69, HugeLunatic and many more) out there that wrote the tutorials I've used, or that has answered my questions when I've gotten stuck. You guys are what makes learning fun, and what inspires me to keep expanding my knowledge with new projects. Special thanks to Michelle who has helped me a lot when it comes to objects and recolors, and BoilingOil who taught me some modding basics that I needed when I started modding more seriously.
Policy
My policy is now open. I'd appreciate a message telling me about your work, because it's fun for me to see, and it means I know about it and can refer others to it if they reach out. As much as I would like to provide support for my own work, my health is too unstable and I have to prioritize. So if anyone else would like to fix problems or continue something and share it with others, that's great go forth :) If you can learn from my work or improve on it, wonderful. Welcome to ask questions on crafters, if I can I'll answer.
I'd appreciate if people do not share default replacements from my stuff as I do not like default replacements, but I can't stop you anyway so no point in acting like I could. If you want to respect my wishes, I appreciate it, if you don't care then well nothing I can do about it.
Other sites
Only share content on tumblr now. Still retired though so probably nothing, but if something new comes out, that's where it'll be. You can find it linked here on my profile.
