Apartment Life Borkiness, or how i ended the world in 1 hour.
Roux:
Noticed a few more bugs. A text error. In this pic, the sim was talking with one of the social group townies named Solveig. The text string has the wrong name.
The new medicine cabinets aren't fully functioning in apartments for me. When used in an apartment, only "brush teeth" and "wash face" are appearing on the menu. In regular residences, all the normal mirror functions were also appearing (practice speech, change appearance, etc.). Anyone else noticing this, or is it just my game?
Also, some nanny weirdness. Nanny prepared meal and placed it on the counter. Then the nanny got in a continuous loop of picking up the platter and serving it. Meanwhile, the sim kid couldn't grab a plate because it hadn't been served, I guess. After several loops, the nanny finally completed the serve interaction and the sim kid was able to grab a plate.
Aner-Dyfan:
Roux there are 2 medicine cabinets. One with a mirror and one without, that caught me out initially.

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...
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.
I also had this same problem pre-AL, with the same house in Strangetown. I tried moving different families in and out several times,and never did manage to make that gap go away.

Grumble. That's silly, but then again, they have two varieties of enclosed closets: one with mirror, one without, and only 1 simolean difference in price. Thanks for clarifying. Lemme guess, one's in mirrors, the other's in wall hangings or miscellaneous or somesuch nonsense?

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 highly doubt it would work, unless they majorly changed the way the game works. Uneven lots bork terrain. You move it and flatten the area you moved it from, all that's going to happen is that the area is going to go back to it's funked up state when you replace the lot, plus you'll have a new uneven spot where you temporarily placed the lot (granted, fixable with the cheat). My solution has been to use LotAdjuster to expand the lot, go in and flatten terrain, then use Lot Adjuster to change it back to its original dimensions. I haven't tried using LotAdjuster yet, as it's not officially ok for Apartment Life. I suspect it'll choke on load due to the new formats.Quote from: Lonesome Dove on 2008 August 29, 11:26:00

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.
Thing is, they don't only change when they change clothes. They change all the time. Pet icons change. Even on my rig, this causes a split-second lag. I agree with others, this feature needs to die.
I had a couple new bugs last night that I took the requested photos for but then forgot to upload them. Will do when I get home. Remember the occasional issue with invisible dormies? Well, now we can have semi-transparent flashing neighbors!
