Apartment Life Borkiness, or how i ended the world in 1 hour.

oii How many borks have we found? I bet BBSers bork their game less than this! It's so ridiculous to think that they can't get things straight.

Recolors for the photobooth and card table are broken. I know this because I downloaded several. Although I am not sure about the restaurant podium, seeing that I haven't built a community lot yet, nor download any recolors of the podium (since I have found 2 borked objects.)

Roommates are supposed to be uncontrollable, right? This roommate was, until his needs started going red as a result of spending his day off on the synthesizer. Suddenly, he became controllable. I was able to direct him to pee, eat and sleep before he croaked.

I wonder if roommates become controllable when it becomes clear they can't take care of themselves? Or, Just Another EA Feature?


Roomates aren't supposed to be controllable. (if you're using/talking about pet control and pet free will cheat, turn off the free will one at least). When i got BV (similar expansion pack and all) and my family went on vacation with a couple of guests they became controllable. I don't think it was a glitch. I probably left a hack I didn't know about in the folder, which would have been 12ish of me.

Oh, I see it now. I do have controlpets set to true on my startup. Nevermind, move along, nothing to see here.... :P

Control pets is fine, but if you use pets free will off, then you'd HAVE to control your roomie.

I wish they just made a different cheat like "controlRoomies on"

That's fantastic! I was most of the way to that, but since I was on the test account with no CC, I didn't think about invisible fences. Invisible walls should work as well. The only problem is with shadows...I've yet to find an invisible fence or wall that doesn't throw a shadow.

Yeah, the shadow fits neatly around the solid steps though:


However, if the foundation is is not 4 clicks high (or 8,12 etc) then the stair ends "mid-grid" and there will be ugliness.

The fence I linked to has no shadow when placed directly on the ground, but I think all partitions do if you go up one floor, even the otherwise shadowless greenhousewalls.

There are other ways though, cc free, but with other drawbacks.
Take a normal fenced-in yard, line the inside of the fence with foundation:


Then build a fence along the foundation edge, and delete foundation:


This way you can actually take advantage of the silly "room divider is a wall"-thing, and use that as the top fence, hiding it inside the bottom one.
The drawbacks are that you can't go to the lot edge, and since the foundation level yard area now counts as a room it will raise the rent considerably.

I think those two are only recolorable through the CEP?

I did some experimenting with this and found some workarounds.
The easiest one requires an invisible fence, the one I tested with is Niol's at MTS2. (First in the download list.)

Thanks! I will definitely get back to my duplex tomorrow to give this a try...
