Why Cant Share Apartments

Ive always wondered this. Id like me and my fiance to share a living space til we get a house (if we ever do) but we cant. At least not officially (cant use summon bells or orchestrions). Why is that? (Excuse my poor title grammar)

they're basically a separate FC room. you can't share those so you can't share apartments.

I would very much like to have apartment tenants.

Theres a difference between basically and them being exactly the same. That still doesnt answer why though

Because they probably share part of the same coding. that would be my guess.

Houses were originally designed for FCs so tenancy was built in from the start. It became useful when the demand for houses exceeded the supply, allowing players to share a house.

Apartments were designed for individual characters so they probably didn't see a need for tenancy. Any character that wants an apartment can go buy it so there's no need to share to gain access to one.

Is there something specific in the programming that prevents tenancy from being possible, or is it just a design choice? Only SE knows.

My suggestion is for you and your fiance to have apartments in the same building so you can switch between them together as if you were moving through a door into another room. That's what a friend and I are doing with our alts, and it works out well.

Eh...I guess that could work

Not a great solution for your situation, I agree, but the best I can think of with the current system.
