The Sims 4: City Living introduces apartments in your sims’ lives. You’re not just moving into a smaller home this time around, though. Rather, the different apartments around San Myshuno all have traits to make them come alive in their own, unique ways. Here is a list of each of the different apartment traits you’ll encounter, and what they do for your sims in The Sims 4: City Living.

Haunted – Locals say this place is haunted. Pah! What do they know?

Quiet – Maybe it’s the insulation or maybe the neighbors are very polite. Either way, it’s never noisy here.

Great Light – The quality of light here makes Painting and Photography much easier to master.

Bracing Breezes – Oodles of fresh air make for a bracing environment to exercise.

Private Dwelling – A home lot with this trait deters all but the most determined visitors (it has little effect on commercial venues).
