    If SE wanted to take the easiest route.:
    • Small is what it is now.
    • Regular is the size of the ground floor of a medium without either staircase, the FC workshop door leads to the balcony area instead.
    • Penthouse is the same as before but with an upstairs area too, essentially making largest apartment a medium house without a basement.

    I think those would be decent sizes, and the only properly new area to create would be a balcony.

    I recall them making comments about the difficulties of having balconies because of phasing and viewing the housing district and who sees what but there is an easy way to solve all that, stick the balconies on the back of the apartment building so they're looking away from the housing district...

    I like those size ideas. That's FAR better than the FC room we get now. I could actually do something nice with my apartment instead of trying to work out the logistics of how I want to slot everything together. Especially if it came with the medium housing item limit... *grin*

    A slightly different way to take it would be more of a horizontal expansion.
    -Small is what we have now.
    -Medium would be the size of 3 apartments in an L shape as if it were a corner section of the floor.
    -Large would be the size of 12 apartments in a box shape as if it were a full floor of apartments.

    This would give something different and unique to apartments that don't exist in regular houses so they don't feel like a half built house.
