Apartment Life Borkiness, or how i ended the world in 1 hour.
Solowren:
Well, damn. My theory sounded pretty good. :D
ETA: Okay, EA snuck some townies in my game, damnit all. I just had a walkby I'd never seen before with the AL hair. D':

I don't know why, but I can't make the game tips go away. When I first loaded a house after installing, it asked if I wanted game tips and I hit no, but it keeps showing them. Game Tips not just for AL either, it's for all the expansions.
I had that as well with a clean game, new neighbourhood and no hacks or cc. And nothing I did would stop them popping up.

Let's hear it for EAXis!
I had a feeling THIS was going to happen:
[snip]
Were you trying to use apartments on college lots or something?
Absolutely not. I just wanted to use that stove because it had an industrial feel to it. :-\ Alas, I realized that since they just "borrow" from every other expansion pack, that this wouldn't work at all.
I'm confused, did that stove come with AL? How exactly did you get it and expect it to work correctly besides on a community lot or college lot if not? Did they accidentally allow it on apartment lots? Or has it always been enabled but is now spawning a cafeteria worker on apartment lots?

Also... using the rent furnished option, does anyone know if the game raises the rent through the roof because of the additional stuff or is it clueless and only counts the things it normally would such as the bathroom objects, etc?
No the rent is the same as the unfurnished apartment and I thought that was lame.
That's actually cool and crappy at the same time. Crappy because sims are going to get everything handed to them and not have to pay much for it. I have no idea why they didn't add a rent furnished / unfurnished option that worked as you would expect it to.
This is healthy list of bugs I've got from browsing the BBS, can anyone confirm any of these?
Gypsy has no options on community lots. - Confirmed.
Scope room interaction gone.
Butler calling fire department when lightning starts fire and fire department fining for false alarms.
Popups for hobby enthusiasm for roommates. (more of annoyance than a bug I suppose)
When you ask a roommate out on a NL outing then decide to change lots, the roommate doesn't follow and the sims get stuck in the cab forever.
Child/teen sims pop back onto lot when they get special things like money from winning a spelling bee and are at school.
School bus doesn't come to apartments it seems?
Sims kissing mouth to mouth while saying goodbye even to people they have just met.
Can't make apartments with backyards on foundations. - Confirmed but you can work around it.
Witches are starting out all the way evil and all the way good. Happens when you click Teach Me to be a witch several times before the spell is cast.
Taking the toy dogs up / down stairs causes them to become attached to random parts of the sim and unable to get them off.
FT False platinum bug is reportedly back as well as the negative memories for sims who shouldn't get them? Such as family sims getting bad memories of getting engaged. I pray this is from someone who hasn't patched their FT game.
Pickpocket seems to spawn on residential lots after you beat him up on community lots. (This can't be possible...)
Snow doesn't melt in alleys.
Locking of doors doesn't seem to be working properly. (people locked out still barge in)
Kids jump out of beds with read bedtime story option.
Edit: Since i've gotten my game, I'm checking into some of these. I've crossed out the ones that aren't valid and obviously caused by newbness.
SJActress:
I believe someone else had this issue; I'm just confirming it.
My Sims can't study Physiology. I have a Knowledge Sim, and I wanted to see just HOW MUCH the Physiology bug would speed her skill-building. She takes the book out, sits down, opens it, immediately closes it, and puts it back.
This doesn't happen for the other new Study skills (Anger Management, etc.).
I have the DC, so either this is a bug, or there's something in the DC that's preventing it, on accident or on purpose. :-\

The lot, is just a regular old apartment in downtown pleasantview. The stove is the one that came with University (it's the 'industrial' one)... I had a funny feeling that this stove would be borked in apartments for the sole fact that EAxis never seem to catch these bugs. We know EAxis, they NEVER fail. ::)
