However, with Sims2, it seemed much simpler in some respects to designate different apartments or townhouses and to construct them and have multiple playable households all within the scope of the same lot.

Admittedly, I had not really played around as much with the feature as of the University pack in Sims3 as I had prior to it (where I remember it required a maze of different cheats to navigate to build apartments along with the use of a "rabbit hole"-type of building-at least, as of the Night Life expansion pack that introduced apartments), so I don't know from the perspective of a builder or player outside the university system how or if things may have changed with the latter pack as I didn't get much of a chance to find out. To be honest, I preferred how the issue of apartments and townhouses were actually handled in the Sims 2 era over Sims 3 in some respects.
