Apartment Life Borkiness, or how i ended the world in 1 hour.
fway:
it's too bad that modifyneighborhoodterrain can't be used when there's a lot that you want to fix.
You all may want to try this though and see what happens:
1. Move the lot somewhere
2. use the cheat modifyneighborhoodterrain on
3. Level the terrain by dragging your cursor across the borked land (I believe ] is the key to level it).
4. Move the lot back onto where you want it back
I haven't done it myself, but I was thinking about putting that cheat to use.

I've been looking into the SP objects that EAxis "updated" in AL.
1) EAxis fixed K&B Trash Compactor in FT p2, but break it again in AL, by throwing "Compost Contents" function out of the window.
2) Teens and Elders cannot change/plan outfits in H&M clothing booth, because the idiots forgot to enable those functions for certain age groups.
3) Borked translations for almost all K&B appliances.
More borks may lurk somewhere, I haven't finished updating my fixes yet.
For God's sake leave SP objects alone, I'd rather use my own SP object fixes than resorting to this poor excuse of an update, kthxbi. >:(
As AL is probably the last EP, I guess it's time to make an ultimate SP object fix for AL, rolling all my past SP fixes into one.

Well Belladonna isn't flat like I initially thought. One more useless hood to be added to the list.

I have the same problem, but with the Downtown. Is this a known bug? Never had this happen before...
This has happened to me as well, in Strangetown. The house next to the Grunt's house is sunken a bit and there's a huge gap between the two houses. I figure simply moving the house and moving it back will fix it, but I can't be bothered to try it yet.
Fortunately there will be no more expansion packs. Although, apparently there's a new stuff pack called "Mansion & Garden Stuff".

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.
It's not the sheep at the BBS that piss me off. It's the Maxoids.
I think the problem with each new expansion pack is EAxis' superiority complex. A feeling that they can do no wrong and any glitch or oopsie is the fault of the consumer. For example, I think the fact that people are pissed about not having a CD version means they're aware of what drive they've got in their computer, kthx.
Could Maxoid_Hydra possibly be anymore condescending? "We are aware that some people in this community aren't professional computer programmers, like us, so we've dumbed down every put the technical process of playing our game into plain English so everyone can understand.
"First, look at that box that may look like it does nothing. It's actually very important, believe it or not. Push the button that has a drawing on it that looks like an upside-down lollipop. If the TV next to the important box doesn't start showing pretty pictures, it should also have an upside-down lollipop somewhere. Press it.
"Now we wait for Mr. Computer to ask you for your login details. Hopefully you've remembered them..."

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.
Thank you very much!
