Office

Offices are where sims work. Offices prefer to be built away from noisy entertainment rooms, but generate noise themselves. Office workers will seek fast food at lunch time, so it's essential to keep these locations close. Office workers require parking spaces once a tower reaches a 3-Star Rating. If no parking is available, the office spaces will lose evaluation. Offices are rented, and rent is collected when the office becomes occupied and every Quarter afterwards.

Tips

 * A common strategy is to build 3 levels of offices above a lobby, build fast food one level below a lobby, and connect all four levels with stairs. This removes the traffic created by office workers from elevators while still allowing them a satisfactory mode of travel to reach their destinations.
 * Keeping offices on their own floor is an effective method of maintaining a steady evaluation and minimizing noise complaints.
 * Offices that gain the "Conditions are terrible" status must be removed with the bulldozer and replaced.
 * Office workers will walk the width of 79 segments before an office gains the "Stairs/Elevators are far away" condition. Creating a row of 18 offices and placing a staircase or escalator that starts on the 8th segment of the 9th office will satisfy the transport requirement for all 18 offices.
