A dream townhouse, apartment, or building often requires tons of money. Similarly, in The Sims 4, you must arrange plenty of Simoleons to make a townhouse. Sometimes, you may fall short of Simoleons while making a townhouse. 

In The Sims 4, cheats don't open by default, requiring you to activate them. If you want to cheat, you must hold on to some keys depending on your platform.
