Default Building apartments with driveways
Well, I've read lots of guides teaching how to build apartment lots and in fact, I've built lots of them before. I've already checked pre-made lots to see if there was something obvious that I was missing, but apparently, the answer is no.

I've been trying to build 4 houses to work as apartments. Two of them without driveway and for sure the problem is not with them. The two front houses, both with 4 floors, including the terrace, have garages. They only have the apartment door and the garage door connecting them with the outside.

Following the pre-made lots example, on the first floor, there is the Unique Separator door, connected to a hall, where at the end there is a star. The wall has a small opened area to connect with the garage.

At the entrance of the apartment, there's a fence without gates, just a pass way. Still, these two apartments architecture doesn't allow me to change the Lot Zoning. What else can I be missing? Is there any other possible conflict in this apartment that I don't know of?

p.s.: I don't have any archs .

An apartment can only have one external door. If you have a garage door plus the standard (required) apartment door, that makes two doors. Delete the garage door and everything should be fine.

The apartment doot/garage door combo isn't the problem, there are actually some EAxis apartments build that way. I put together a very raw building with attached garden area and attached garage and was able to resize it with both garage doors (although I've heared that the LN door may cause some problems).

Okay, I'll try checking the doors to see if any of them came from LN, except the garage door, of course.... anybody else has a possible conflict suggestion? I've seen apartment lots with fences in front of it, anyone had problems with that?

I tried to build another lot with these same features and it didn't work as well... I'll start tracking my downloads folder to see if it's not anything in there....

Are we discussing Sims 2? What's LN? Could you give an example of an EA apartments with an attached garage with garage door?

Just read it as NL. There are too many EPs with similar names for both games out now.

No idea what's it called in English but it's in Belladonna Cove, the lot next to where the Patels are living.

luluzinhacdc, if your problem isn't related to CC, it might be helpful to give us some (large) pictures of your lot, to see whether there's anything obviously wrong.
