Shuebock's Apartments [CC Free]
I was inspired by some tiny Tokyo apartment tours and a TS4 Simmer making a fully-functional 3x3 house to try and see how that might work in The Sims 2. Then I figured, hey, since they're so small, may as well fit as many as you can onto one lot, right?
There are 8 apartments, though only 4 playable families can live in one complex at once. Each apartment is functionally identical except for any necessary mirroring.
Behold; a functional CC-free 3x3 Sims 2 "house". I have foregone a bed in place of a recliner, which is actually pretty good for getting a Sim's energy up, especially if you spring to upgrade it. Everything has been playtested and should be fully accessible, including the shower/toilet, the chest of drawers under the counter, the bookshelf, the phone, etc.
The goal of these apartments was to be as cheap as possible and rent is about §200. Obviously, they're extremely minimal. There's a little leeway for things you can add or move around to suit an individual Sim's needs, but you get what you pay for. There are no places to WooHoo; it's not easy to find a place for a computer; and it's nigh impossible to fit more than one Sim in at a time.
This is the common outdoor area. It's not meant to be pretty. The BBQ with no actual dining area or other amenities was an intentional choice, but it's understandable if you want to add them back in, especially if you play with landlord pizza parties. I imagine the kind of Sims who live here either spend all their time working or else hanging out anywhere but home.
If you aren't bothered by doors getting stuck open, you can replace either the bookshelf or the wardrobe-counter with a one-tile table and a chair, and Sims will still be able to enter the apartment at the cost of never closing their front door. This way you can own a computer.
If you moved or replaced or deleted the TV you could put a CC bunk bed across that wall.
You could easily replace the mini fridge with this CC version that functions as a full fridge.
The stairs to the second floor have been placed with Nopke's mod, so your Sims should be able to walk under them to access the courtyard even if you don't have the same mod. If not, just add a side gate before you move any Sims in (turn it back into a residential lot temporarily, or use Apartment Life building cheats).
Nobody asked for this and I doubt anybody needs it but you can certainly download it!

Liv i’m thinking of roommate!rintaro with his not-in-the-contract-but-act-like-a-roommate-best-friends twins! the chaos they cause,, the rucus in the apartment is never ending, leaving you with exhaustion, but still they make it up by bringing you food and coffee when you are in your exam week or stressfull week at work,
osamu pretty much runs the kitchen when he is the only one who knows where the spice cabinet is and the good plates are, atsumu has his own set of keys that he got made in secret
bickering with atsumu one day when him and osamu are at the apartment freeloading (AGAIN) and going "LAST TIME I CHECKED YOUR NAME'S NOT ON THE LEASE" and atsumu just quirks a brow and gets right up in your face and is like "oh, yeah? when's the last time you checked?" all smug. and you turn and look at suna because honestly at this point you wouldn't put that kind of shit past him. (you make him dig out the lease and prove to you that he didn't let atsumu sign onto it without your knowledge.)

I've seen those posts where europeans will be like "people will reblog a picture that looks like my street and it'll have tags like #this evokes such a feeling and #aesthetic haha stupid americans that's just someone's aunties house" and to be so real with you people literally do this about any place anyone lives because we're simultaneously fascinated and disturbed by how other people live. I grew up (mostly) suburban midwest and I routinely see AND REBLOG pictures with 300k notes that look like my street corner, my favorite gas station at the intersection near my place, parking lots I pass on the daily, billboards I drive by on the way to my cousin's place, steel mills, silos, all that is common place. people will tag it with aesthetic tags and, bafflingly, shit like #traumacore and #oddcore. it's a phenomena I call signs of life, and it's where anytime someone sees signs of life similar to their own but still different they internally go !!!!!!!!!!whoa!!!!!!!! cool!?!?!?! strange?!?!?!?!?!?! it's not specific from one region to another, but every region will have a reputation and stigma and being suddenly aware of it is weird. like shibuya isn't a parallel dimension and that picture is literally just someone's favorite place to get lunch lol but also it's not weird that you feel that when you look at a photo that's very explicitly trying to evoke a feeling like your looking into a parallel dimension.
