Apartment Life Borkiness, or how i ended the world in 1 hour.
Inge:
The thing about the ceilings is they're only the same as the bottomful floors that have been around. Basically they are at the height the bottom of the floor tile thickness would be. The wallpapers were always too tall technically for the rooms, but we didn't notice because we could "see through" the floor. I guess we have to have our mouldings lower now, and then have a small strip of the main colour above, in case we want it to join up to the wall above in stair wells. Some industious person needs to make overrides for the maxis papers that have been made wrong. It's just textures to edit.

[*]I don't think anybody reported this here yet but I did ask about it in the podium. My Evil Witch won't make the "lamp thingy". She just keep on stirring the pot for hours and hours and doesn't make it.
[*]Also the Butler doesn't clean the "petplates"
I have a question about the borked Physiology that Pescado reported. I was too tired to say something about it before but now I understand why my sims maxed out body so quickly. I'm not sure how many simhours it took but I'm pretty sure it wasn't more than 3. What I want to know is will she learn everything else superfast too? I'll go experiment with her sister. All I know is that she maxed out body just by jumping ropes before her sister with the knowledge aspiration perk gained one point in logic I believe from 8 to 9.
In that case I wouldn't mind keeping this borked! lol

Has anyone tried out the butler yet?
I have a vanilla game folder and ordered the butler and after he showed up my sim went to work. I got the notice that the children shouldn't be left home alone. Then the social worker took them. According to the Prima guide the Butler will dismiss the nanny and is supposed to offer child care!
I have not tried the butler, because I do not own the game yet, but by all accounts he's just a servo that doesn't look like a servo and that can be hired, instead of built. I'm assuming that, like servos, the butlers become part of the 'family' the way servos do. If this didn't happen, then I'd say something's borked. Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm basically just talking out my arse.

Also, my second problem, is that one of my sims is learning everything really quickly - like virgali said about body skill, but for all skills. The sim in question is the playable Tara DeBateaux, and I haven't found it with any other sims yet but I've only played with her and like 2 other playables, the rest were my own CAS/born in game sims. It's like she has the smart milk bug, but of course she starts as a teen so it can't be that.
Did you have her study Physiology?

Here's a MEGABORK: The Physiology study option is apparently HUGELY borked. I was working on updating commskilling, when I noticed they added the +25 IQ "boost" for Physiology in an odd place: At the END of the code block, where it is deallocating the "situational" bonii like Asianland bonii and protein shake. It is then never removed. The exploit: If you learn "Physiology" and then study body, your sim will gain +25% IQ every study loop, and it will stick until the usual suspects reset it. This means you can easily get well over several-thousand-percent learn rate, and since it then affects generic IQ, it will apply to ALL skills. It is simply MASSIVELY, MASSIVELY borked.
So yes it affects all skills

He didn't join my household and if he was part of the family I especially shouldn't have gotten the warning that they were home alone when the butler was there.

ETA: This makes me wonder if the Neighbor child care will work as well. Has anyone had any problems with that?
Paladin mentioned something about EA failing to modify the code that detects child care providers on the lot. As a result, the game thinks there are no adults supervising the children on the lot.
The Butler is an NPC and very similar to Alfred in TS1. He doesn't join your family and works a certain amount of hours everyday.
