This is an apartment building I've just finished, that I thought people might like to try. It plays without problem for me.
There are four apartments, all a little different. Ground floor rear apartment has a small garden with pond and greenhouse, and two double bedrooms. Ground floor front has 2 double bedrooms. First floor rear has two double bedrooms and a nursery/third bedroom. First floor front just has one double bedroom. All apartments have just the one bathroom, not good in the morning rush hour, unless you're snapdragoned, but the nursery could convert to a decent bathroom. There's a one-tile buffer zone along the communal wall with the next apartment, since all the neighbours my Sims have ever had have opted to play loud music at 4 am.
They're all furnished pretty much the same. It didn't seem worth individualising them when you might choose to rent them unfurnished anyway. Rents go from $1947 to $3594.
Ground floor common area has seating area, chess and mah jong. First floor common area has seating, bar, piano and pool table, plus stereo for those smustle moments. There is an outside pool, children's play area, and landscaped garden, which the Sims completely ignore.
