Conclusion. If you put a fence in with no gate which fully encloses a part of an apartment the enclosed part of the apartment is considered a common area and can't be changed. This wouldn't be a big deal, except that it includes the fences that can easily be stepped over like the floor strips.
I don't expect this to be fixed, but I figure it should be documented for when someone else runs into it and doesn't realize its the floor strip thingie that's causing it.
(I hope my explanation was clear.)
Yeah, this fence is considered a wall/fence with no access. You can use it to create a second entrance (surround the door/gate with the fence then lock it).
Actually you can't, or if you've gotten this to work, please post steps. I had set an apartment with a similar setup, excepting that each unit had a private fenced yard accessed by regular door. I could not then change the lot to an apartment lot. My attempt at a work around (change lot cheat, save, add doors, save) resulted in the lot reporting that there were 0 apartments for $0 and not letting anyone move in.
Conclusion = apartment + fenced enclosure of any sort = fail.

Yes, it's incredibly frustrating to not even be able to move a door or a window, or plonk a hot pool down. I was pissed off that I made furnished apartments for my sims to move in to - just renovated some EAxis ones - yet when the sims moved in, only the kitchen and bathroom stuff was left. What's with that? People rent furnished apartments.
Not even all the kitchen stuff, either. I placed the most expensive K&B trash compactor in my three-unit building I'd redone. The compactor disappeared on move-in.
I also have sims going to sleep with energy bar over 80% after woohoo, in the middle of the day. And, even more annoying, first time woohoo movie plays every stinking time on the Murphy bed (bin family) and not at all on the vibrating bed (CAS family).
Catju:
I uninstalled and re-installed FT and AL. FT items work fine now. Only problem is that when the uninstalling deleted all saved games (which was fine since I didn't need them) I now have only EP 'hoods and none of the 'hoods from base game. Not that I wanted to play them but I'd like to have the option.
I've done more testing with the closets, and I've noticed that when neither of the sims are doing anything else, they both go into the closet and WooHooing works fine. But when one is busy doing something.. This time I put the female reading and the male attempting to Try for Baby. He opened and closed the door and she became pregnant.

Zazazu, I got the woohoo movie on the MRTY bed for CAS family. Maybe yours didn't play because you had it vibrating?
Zazazu:
No, I couldn't get it vibrating because I didn't realize that there's apparently a puzzle to it. Feh. I'll try another lot as well as non-AL beds tonight.
HystericalParoxysm:
So. Very. Pissed off.
I spent most of the day building a lovely 3-family townhome, nicely furnished, only to find that the furnishings disappear seemingly at random once I move sims in to rent the place. One apartment, the couch and tv are there - the other two, they're gone. One loses a bed, another doesn't. Some decor disappears, some doesn't. Anything divided with those little step-over room dividers disappears. Basic stuff like lights, counters, etc., seem to stay universally, but anything beyond that, who the hell knows. I had everything adorably furnished, different paintings in each apartment, exactly how I wanted it and the #*$&ing thing won't work. ARGH!!!
I do have a saved copy of it before I moved anyone in, but I am getting ready to uninstall this crapsack of an EP. I've got -no- hacks and only the minimum custom content (a few windows and fences) I needed to build the damn thing and it still won't work.
