Apartment Life Borkiness, or how i ended the world in 1 hour.
Zazazu:
I don't believe that any of my sims either in Coggeshall Village (hacked account) or Belladonna Cove (unhacked account) have ever visibly gained/lost aspiration reputation. The Belladonna playables show green or red area. In Coggeshall, nothing. However, I've gotten the networking reward on one sim and an attempt at the blind date reward on another.
EDIT: Aspiration and reputation are not the same thing.

For those who had it not work, was the telescope in a common area or private balcony? Neither should affect anything, but you know how EAxis thinks...
Mine was on the roof of an apartment building. I used apt building cheats to build stairs and a fence so that the roof is at least supposed to act like it's a part of the apt. My sim tried summoning aliens for 6 hours and nothing happened. Although there was really short moments of lag, which usually indicate that something or someone is coming to the lot (or I could just be paranoid). Lot debugger didn't notice any offworld loiterers though, and the lag wasn't as bad as the last time someone tried to come to the lot but couldn't.

Fun game: spot the sparkles! (I forgot to disable free will so the sim keep disappearing out of camera view) They are most visible at the end when I zoom in.

Nice, looks more like she's just stepped out of a hot spring on a cold night. Light waft of steam but not much sparkle action going on there.
Yeah, at first I didn't notice it at all, I just thought they were gone. I wonder why this happens - I don't even know what to call this phenomenon. I wouldn't mind it so much if the sparkles came back after a while on their own, but I have to exit and reenter the lot to get the sparkles back. I haven't tried changing alignment, then changing back, possible that would do it aswell.
Is this a graphic card issue, or a buggy gameplay issue? I don't even know where to start looking for a fix to this one.
Now you mention it... I have around the same thing happening... When my witch came home from work the sparkles were gone... After playing a little longer she suddenly had her sparkles back, but were gone again a little later. I don't really know how that happened though, I do remember changing her clothes a few times but I think that's not making a difference...
Anyway, I currently only use a few hacks of the DC and I'm at the point of placing an updated 'triplets & quads' hack back in... I have a lot of recolers of custom objects though (not certain if that has to do something with it...)

I've had my test [CAS] sim in Belladonna Cove up to platinum & back to gold & has 34,750 points to spend. I can't remember the last time she was green though - mind you knowledge sims are simple to keep happy.
I'm yet to test the reward items though....

You do know the kids can walk to school as well.
Yes, I know but that's supposed to be an option and not mandatory (non playable kids won't walk to school anyway). It really seems that most of the premade apartments in the LotBin are borked in respect to recognizing kids/teens on the lots. This would fit with moonsingingfreak observation that the kids' grades aren't dropping when they don't go to school at all. No "bus is coming in an hour" dialog, no bus. The game treats the kids like jobless adults on this lots.
I think I'll try to change the lotzoning back and forth between res and apt with one of the lots and see if this can fix something.
