Spells There are three sets of spells within Apartment Life and which ones your sims has access to will be dependant upon their magical alignment. Sims build up their magical skill through study and casting. Experience is gained in a particular alignment of magic allowing your sim the use of good or evil spells. Magic works much like a job or hobby in that it has ten levels of experience to build up. Once your sim has been introduced to the mystical arts they will receive a cauldron and spell book with which to begin their magical activities. Much like werewolves and vampires from the other expansions, witches and warlocks will now show up in community lots where you can befriend them and eventually ask them to impart their mystical knowledge to you. Doing so grants them the ability to learn and cast magical spells which bring another entire area of fun to the game. Now your sims can learn to become witches and warlocks. Magic Witches & Warlocks oh my!Perhaps the most interesting addition to this expansion is the inclusion of magic. In addition, each week the landlord will throw a building party giving you a chance to socialize with those neighbors that your schedule perhaps does not allow you time to meet otherwise. You can also phone the landlord up if something breaks and they'll come over to repair it which saves paying for a repairman. This sim will show up during the day and take care of any maintenance that needs to be done inside and outside the building. Landlords To keep the apartments in tip top shape, each apartment building comes with a Landlord. Of course should your roommate be too much of a burden or just too impossible to live with, you always have the option of kicking them to the curb. The lower this meter, the less likely they are to contribute to the rent and the more uncomfortable your living situation will be. They are normal sims with normal routines, however they have the addition of a satisfaction meter. Roommates are non-controllable sims who will share the apartment with you. To help with the weekly rent you can choose to move in a roommate. Roommates Though financially living in an apartment provides lower bills, rent can still be an obstacle for cash strapped sims. After a few days of leniency the landlord will show up and evict your sim out onto the street. Rent can vary greatly depending on the size of your apartment, but should you skip out on paying for too long don't expect a visit from the repot man. Every week rent is due and can be paid at the community mailbox. Of course, just like in real life, living in an apartment is not free. This can result in an increase in rent if you're too unruly a neighbor.
Also, if you like to throw a lot of late night parties and have cranky neighbors, you might find yourself getting complaints made against you.

You are unable to make any structural changes, though you are free to put whatever you want into the space your given. Keep it down over there! The only real drawback to apartment living, much like real life, is that you are limited in your options when it comes to designing your apartment. If you share a wall with a noisy neighbor, be prepared for some sleepless nights. The walls in apartments are not sound proof, and everyone lives different schedules. Socially having your neighbors in such close proximity is a great benefit, but it also brings with it some unforunate side effects.
When you first move a Sim into an apartment building you get to pick your desired apartment, after which all the other apartments get rented out and the neighbors start moving in. Now you will be surrounded by neighbors which can impact your life positively while also adding some new issues to deal with.
