Spells require reagents, which witches can craft or buy from the High Witch. As a witch, Sims will have witch attributes, be able to cast spells, and fly with a broomstick. Witches have 3 alignments: a Sim can be good, bad, or neutral witch. The new life state introduced in the Expansion Pack is Witch. Townies will also react to the Sims' reputation. Having good reputation will benefit Sims while bad reputation will give Sims penalties. Reputation is determined by how nice or mean a Sim interacts with others. In contrast, they determine how 'rich' they are and their surroundings. Socialites and Techies will occupy expensive apartments while Bohemians and Gearheads occupy the worst. There are 5 kinds of Social group townies: Socialite, Tech, Jock, Bohemian, and Gearhead. They are the townies who will occupy vacant apartments and become the roommates. Social Group Townies are a new kind of Townie. The value is determined by the price of the furniture, the size of the lots, the number of household members, the messiness, and the values of surrounding lots. The value will indicate if the lot is high to low. From now, each lot, whether residential or community, calculates its lot class value. This Expansion Pack introduces new features to bring more realism of community living, Social class. If the satisfaction meter gets too low, they may move out on their own.

Roommates have a Roommate satisfaction meter, which displays how much they enjoy living with the Sims. They could be nice to the Sims they live with, or could be bothersome. Roommates can be searched for via computer or newspaper, or Sims can use the phone to advertise for roommates. Roommates will live together with Sims, but they will be unplayable and take care of themselves. In order to lower the weekly rent, Sims can search for roommates. The rent price will vary depending on the apartment's size, interior architecture, and backyard patio.

Up to four different families can reside in the same apartment. Players cannot build an apartment lot without using console cheats. Some Build and Buy modes options are also locked for Sims living in apartments. Landlords are beneficial NPCs because they will take care of the common areas, tend the garden, take care of roaches, and fix the plumbing. Every Monday, the Landlord will come to charge the rent. On the other hand, neighbors can also make noises behind the walls that irritates Sims. Sims can meet others in the same lot easily, or visit neighboring families on the next door. Living in apartments will give some benefits for Sims, or even disadvantages. 'Neighbors' can now exist from living in an apartment, unlike living in ordinary residential lots, where 'neighbors' are only walkbys from afar. Up to four families can live in the same apartment building, but occupy different apartment slots. Apartment is the new type of lot for Sims to reside.
