The 24 hour clock issue can be resolved by going into the globals file and changing "false" to "true" (or vice versa if that's how you want it). EAxis were too stupid to make that option actually save.
Please explain the procedure, this has been driving me nuts. What globals file and where is it?

Yeah, I finally figured out what's causing the annoying portrait changes. I think EAxis changed it so the portrait automatically regenerates when you change a sim's everyday outfit (so you don't need to use the mirror, I read this as a "feature"), but instead it regenerates every time your sim changes into their everyday/maternity outfit. Phail (and Kyna, nice to know I'm not the only one that spends time trying to get decent poses).
I like that their portraits change when they change their everyday clothes. I wish they'd included this feature sooner. Hope they don't switch it back with the inevitable patch, but also hope a hack comes along to satisfy those who don't like changing portraits.

I will definitely be waiting until all necessary fixes, hack-updates, and official patches are completed before installing this EP. I was all psyched about it, and had decided to actually install it nao, instead of waiting, like I normally do, but after reading this thread, I'll take my usual 'watch and wait' approach. FFS, can't EA get anything right the first time round? Eh, I already know the answer to that. Never mind. ::)
Alex:
Go to [Drive]:\Program Files\EA GAMES\The Sims 2 Apartment Life\TSData\Res\Config and open the "globalProps" file in Notepad. Near the bottom it should say "<AnyBoolean key="force12HrTime" type="0xcba908e1">false</AnyBoolean>". Change "false" to "true" to permanently enable the 12 Hour Clock. Change "true" to "false" to get 24 hour time. Save and close the file. There's all kinds of options in there, but I recommend not tinkering with anything else unless you know what you're doing (not that it will particularly do bad things to your game, but still). Changing this particular option is completely safe however.

Funny how quickly it goes from "Oh well I'll install this one FFS hack that fixes something that annoys me" to "I'll download them all but leave out the ones I don't like" to "I won't even try to play the new EP until Pescado's updated all the old hacks and fired off a dozen new ones."
I think this is the point where you have to admit your multi-million dollar entertainment franchise has failed. Except that it hasn't... the BBS is full of people angrily shouting down bug reports, saying "You have to take it with a grain of salt" and implying the bug reporters are either whiny or stupid. I always go there with the intent of enjoying a good argument, and I always close the window five minutes later shaking with rage.
Next time I want to buy an EA game I'll just donate the damn money here instead. At least that way it's going to someone whose stuff always works, who fixes it when it doesn't, and who supports it until it becomes completely outdated.

Well Belladonna isn't flat like I initially thought. One more useless hood to be added to the list.
*removed pic*
I have the same problem, but with the Downtown. Is this a known bug? Never had this happen before...
I have downloaded a lot of Plasticbox' fake row houses from MTS2 and put them into Downtown. I then entered the lots, made the necessary changes (removing back entrance etc.), change the lot zoning, saved, left the lot, reentered, left again. Until now everything is fine.
Now that I move in a family I see this happen:
click and click
Looks as if the whole lot sinks in a bit, and the other lots which are built directly next to this lot are floating...
Will need to test it in other hoods, but it really isn't fun to play that way.
