The Sims 4 Mod: All Worlds are Residential 28 April 2018 (2 years ago) 2,215 notes This mod turns the Destination Worlds - Granite Falls, Selvadorada and Batuu. into Residential Worlds that your Sims can freely travel to and live in. In The Sims™ 4 City Living your Sims can experience the joys and challenges of sharing close quarters with other Sims. Work your way up from a starter unit to a penthouse as your Sims launch new metropolitan careers!
Sims 4 City Living introduced apartments, warehouses and penthouses into the game. Your sim does not own their apartment, but instead pays a weekly rent. You can not change the exterior walls of an apartment but you can completely redesign the interior, including knocking down interior walls and replacing all the furniture.
With penthouses, you own the lot and pay weekly bills based on the value of your furniture and the property. You can build additional floors and knock down exterior walls. However, you can build up but can not build basements. Warehouses operate just like normal lots, with weekly bills. You can completely knock them down and add basements as well as adding additional floors and changing the exterior.
Warehouses and penthouses can become public lots by changing the lot type in build buy mode. So if you wanted to add, say a penthouse museum to the city you can do it in build buy mode, or directly in modify world mode.
All apartments, warehouses and penthouses come with lot traits. For more information see our lot traits guide.
Sims 4 Apartment Features
Each apartment block comes with a communal area where you can meet your neighbours, put out the rubbish and get your mail.
Sims 4 Community Noticeboard
There is also a community noticeboard in each apartment block which will give you information about festivals and your sim and their neighbours can leave notes for each other. If you leave a note while in a positive mood, the sim who reads it will get a happy buff. If your sim writes a note while angry it will be a passive-aggressive note, and will give the reader a tense moodlet.
The noticeboard will also give information about upcoming festivals about a day before they start. You can click on the noticeboard to read information about the festival. If the festival is on while you are reading about it, you can use the noticeboard to travel to the festival.
Sims 4 Garbage Chute
Your sims can empty their rubbish bins into the garbage chute in the communal area. It functions just like an outdoor bin, with the exception that you can not “rummage” in it as the rubbish has already gone once you throw it out. Every now and then the garbage chute will break down. You can either attempt to fix it yourself or call the landlord to come and fix it for you.
Sims 4 Landlords
If you have an apartment, you will also have a landlord. Your landlord will be in your relationships panel, and when you hover over them it will say landlord in their information panel. You can call your landlord round when something in the apartment breaks, but they may refuse to fix it if you do not have a very good relationship, so it makes sense to be on good terms with your landlord.
Sims 4 Neighbours
With apartment living comes neighbours. You may find that your neighbours pop round if they smell something good cooking, or hear something interesting going on, or simply if they are bored. You can choose to accept to feed them/hang out with them, or decline. If you become friends with them you can even give them a key so they can come and go as they please.
Once in a while you will hear them making too much noise, either from arguments or partying or even too noisy woohoo. This will make your sim either angry or tense. Your sim will not be able to sleep when there is too much noise. Your sim can knock on the door of the offending sim’s apartment door and complain about the noise. Sometimes they will be considerate and keep the noise down at other times you may loose a little bit of your relationship if they think you are being unreasonable.
Moving Apartments in the Sims 4 City Living
At some point you may want to move out of your starter apartment to a bigger space, or one with better lot traits. To do this you can simply click on the phone and under the travel tab, and choose the “Move Household”. You will have to have enough money to pay the deposit and to buy all the furniture in the apartment for the option to be available for you, even if you then decide to rent it unfurnished.
If you have your eye on a particular apartment, but can not afford the furniture, you can go into modify world mode, select your target apartment and bulldoze down the lot. This will remove all the furniture and interior walls, but will bring the furniture costs down to zero. This will make your moving costs a lot cheaper, but make sure you have some money set aside to add essentials such as toilets!
Some apartments cover more than one floor, which you can spot by the arrow next to the apartment image, when you are choosing an apartment.

Warehouses and Penthouses in the Sims 4
If your sim wants to own their own property rather than rent, then they can purchase a penthouse or converted warehouse. You have complete freedom with building warehouses and penthouses and can knock down exterior walls or add additional floors to the building. You also do not have noisy neighbours to deal with as you own the whole floor. They are great choices if you have a larger family or are playing a legacy and need the space.
Most penthouses are quite expensive, but if you wanted to move into one earlier you could always bulldoze the site first and build it up from scratch. To do this you can enter modify world mode and bulldoze the site, and buy it for a lower price. You will completely level the building by doing this so make sure you want to go ahead before bulldozing. You will need to add a lift, garbage chute and mailbox for it to be a viable site.
The following warehouse and penthouses are available to buy:
Sims 4 City Living Apartment Lots
| Address | District | Furnished Cost | Bulldozed Cost | Bedrooms | Bathrooms | Traits |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old Salt House | Spice Market | $113,263 | $9,000 | 3 | 2 | Convivial |
| Fountainview Penthouse | Arts Quarter | $83,188 | $13,000 | 1 | 1 | Good Soil, Natural Light |
| 1 Torendi Tower Penthouse | Fashion District | $244,343 | $31,514 | 3 | 3 | Party Place, Sunny Aspect |
Converting a Penthouse to a Public Lot
If you enter the manage worlds mode you can change a lot to a public lot, e.g. a museum, library, restaurant (with Dine Out Game pack), spa (with Spa Day game pack) or anything else you like, under the property information menu. You will have to place certain required items in order to make the building function, but they will tell you what they need in the building information panel.

The Sims 4 Mod: All Worlds are Residential
This mod turns the Destination Worlds - Granite Falls, Selvadorada and Batuu** into Residential Worlds that your Sims can freely travel to and live in*.
*In order to move a household into Granite Falls or Selvadorada, you’ll also need my Venue Changes mod which unlocks the “Residential” lot type in all worlds. You’ll still be able to freely travel to those worlds without Venue Changes, just not live in them.
**It’s not possible to move to or change lot types in Batuu as doing so breaks the world’s UI, so this mod will only let you travel to and from Batuu. Also, there is a bug with traveling away from Batuu (see Known Issues).
Patch 1.68 Updates
Sims 4 San Myshuno Apartments
This page used to be a list of individual mods that would let you change the world type of each world from Destination to Residential or from Residential to Destination. Patch 1.16 changed the way the world select screen works, so it’s no longer possible to change just certain worlds with multiple mods. This shouldn’t be a problem, because if you don’t want to visit certain worlds without renting lots, you can just keep yourself from doing so.
This will conflict with any mod that modifies the UI tuning SimData file (545AC67A-006CA304-4AD169DBEC547AEA). This is unlikely to happen as there are very few other reasons to modify that file.
Known Issues
- You can’t access the world select screen while in Batuu, but don’t panic! You can return home by clicking the “Go Home” icon in the Sim viewer. This is likely due to how the UI is coded.
Change Log
- 27th January 2021 - Fixed a bug where Paranormal Stuff wasn’t available in the CAS or Build Mode filters.
- 26th January 2021 - Fixed an issue where Paranormal Stuff would not display properly on the main menu UI.
- 11th December 2020 - Fixed a patch-related issue where the main menu would appear blank for some players. I don’t know exactly why it effected some people but not others, maybe it’s a cache thing.
- 13th November 2020 - Fixed an issue where Sims renting lots in Granite Falls or Selvadorada would lose those lots upon traveling to another world. This also fixed the issue where Sims couldn’t travel away using the “Travel” interaction on the phone.
