Apartment Hall Overrides - Download
Hello! So, we agree that a significant number of the apartment halls are a travesty, right? They're unfinished, don't make any sense, etc? Cool, so I made overrides to help fix this!
I wanted to keep everything base game/City Living compatible so I only used in game assets from those two BUT you can absolutely change out the texture file and make it anything you want, for your personal use. If you want to make your own version of this and make it available for download, please create your own new files but, no link backs or anything is necessary. Shout outs and links are always appreciated though. At the bottom of the post is a link to a tutorial on how to make your own, as well as the wall and floor names for the ones I made overrides for to help make things easier for you.
First up, Alto Tower. Alto Tower is one of the tallest buildings in all of San Myshuno with two HUGE apartments that have windows all around and you want me to believe THIS is what a hallway would look like in that kind of building????
And that some random storage room would be bright green????
Absolutely not. I've replaced the wall on both of these.
You can download the overrides here. There are two package files per override. One is an override, meaning everywhere the original dark blue is being used, it will now be this paneled wall. The second file adds the dark blue back as a new additional swatch so that you can go around and paint any wall back to the dark blue you intended it to be elsewhere. This is true of every wall and floor override I've created here.
Next up: Chic Street Apartments
I understand these apartments are meant to be cheaper starter apartments BUT they're in a nice building in the trendy FASHION District. I've changed the whole vibe of this one. The original look:
And with my overrides for the wall, floor, and the elevator:
You can download these here.
I actually think Culpepper House has one of the least offensive hallways. I went ahead and just picked a dirty swatch to match some of the apartments a bit more.
You can download it here.
Jasmine Suites. This place is UNFINISHED and you can't convince me otherwise. The only reason I didn't override the floor is because it's the DEFAULT CONCRETE floor. It's used in waaaay too many other places. At least the wall isn't as offensively bright now.
You can download here.
Landgraab Towers. I missed taking a proper before picture. You can kinda see the ugly brown wall here:
And then I did get a picture showing the floor during testing. I only just yesterday realized there's actually two carpet prints being used in this foyer:
This is Landgraab Tower. The Feng's live here. This is supposed to be luxury and eleganzaaaa??? Here's the after:
You can download here. Floor 1 is the plain carpet, floor 2 is the patterned carpet.
Spire Tower. This is ANOTHER ONE that uses the friggin cement flooring so I've only changed the wall here. The before isn't the worst but it doesn't exactly scream "three story condo at the top of a tower in expensive ass Uptown." Hopefully my override feels closer to that. Again, I was just working with Base Game and City Living though so please don't tell me there are better options in other expansions.
Paired with TOOL and clever use of rugs and other items, you can really overhaul these halls to be so much better. For instance, here's the Jasmine Suites hall again, in its original state:
And here it is with my wall override, using pierisim rugs that look like tiles to cover the whole floor, and then regular rugs, new lights, new doors, and better decor:
Here's a link to the folder with all of the downloads. Simfileshare
If you find any issues, please let me know! These will conflict with any files that override the same swatches. If you use littlemssam's elevator mod, I am unsure if the elevator override will cause problems, I don't use that mod. Just keep that in mind and remove if it does conflict.
And if you'd like to make your own overrides, here's a link to a tutorial that also has the wall and floor names, here.

Before Connie can begin to recount that unexpected meeting, the food arrives.
As Juanita had hoped, the experimental restaurant in the city pulls out all the stops when it comes to dinner. Before she took a bite she had to send a pic to Luc. It sucked he was missing it.

"Aren't you forgetting something, big sis?", Fern inquires.
Her close relationship with her dad leaves her privy to so many juicy tidbits. Especially since her younger sister has a big mouth & a bigger mouthed best friend.
"Dad said Ash took the girls to the pier"
"Oh that…"

"Well, papa & Xi had Steve. He's pretty cute. He's pretty high maintenance though. You & him would absolutely get along, Fern.
Honestly, it's been pretty chill. I've just been trying hard to get my grades up to make captain. Princy P is so annoying about that"

Tayna cuts her youngest sister off, "Ignore her, Connie. She's just mad cause she didn't get to style you & she can't take credit for your look if Greta Laurent shows up. Now catch us up! We haven't seen you at all! Spill girl!"

"Sorry I'm late! I finally mastered transformation & my hair was just a mess. Have we already ordered?", Connie joins the table with a flourish.
"Someone obviously missed the red memo. We were all gonna give a similar look for Juanie's big day. But I guess besties don't count"

"Are you sure Connie's coming? I texted her this morning & she was in Moonwood. Do you think she had an incident? You know, supposedly our great grand uncle & his wife were vampires. So maybe something happened…"
"Connie will be here. Hellooo? Best friend's birthday.."

"If you've been doing your reading, this should be easy. You do not fear the beast within you. You welcome it. You work with it. You-"
"NINI I GET IT! IT'S A PARTNERSHIP!"
Before Connie lunges, Rory flicks her back.
"Transformation mastered, pup. Don't you have a dinner?"

In San Myshuno, the Girl Gang® have put on their finest & are ready to dine at one of the hottest restaurants for Juanita's birthday.
"The reservation is under Leung… Yes, for 4."
But it seems one sim hasn't arrived…

Raising 3 kids while working is not something Besk nor Xi gave much thought to. They were a team.
Lately, their team meetings consisted of cuddles in bed & Besk awaking to an empty side.
When he found her in the kitchen, no words left his mouth. Watcher, he missed his wife.

"I bet football is going to be a piece of cake for you now. First werewolf captain!"
At that moment, no place felt more secure than her dad's arms. They still weren't close by any means but it was nice knowing her dad was in her corner.
"I love you, papa"
"I love you. too"

Connie slumps in her chair. The weight of telling her truth off her shoulders.
"I hear howling is good for letting off steam so I added some soundproof boards to your room. & Like I said, you can come & go as you please. Rory said getting out of the house is important…"

"You…you already knew? But I told Nini…"
Besk smiles gently at his eldest child. "Do you think your parents don't talk?
You basically told me when I picked you up that day. 'I go 'woo', heh.
Babygirl, you're still Connie Assaoui-Krafton. Just with extra flair"

"Babygirl, you aren't a monster. You're an amazing young lady that's going to do amazing things.
Rory already told me about your training. If you ever feel like you can't take it, you can go wherever you need to be. But this home will always be here for you."

"I'll probably have to drop out & get my degree online. It's already so hard to focus. & I don't have any friends cause Juanie graduated & every time I walk in the building, I feel like my body is on fire & I- I-"
Connie's head drops to the table with a thud. Tears threatening

Silence continues. How does she explain this? That every full moon, she loses control of her body & turns into an animal driven by emotion, fearful & angry.
"Did you want to talk about your crush? Your dad knows a little something about getting out the friendzone…"

"Did something happen while you were out there? Is it this Tylor person? Listen, my aunt D raised me for a good chunk of my life. Xi & I wouldn't think less of you if-"
"What? No. No no no. I wouldn't- ew. No. papa…"
