Apartment Life Borkiness, or how i ended the world in 1 hour.
J. M. Pescado:
You need to update uni_ltw_sns. It is not included in the Director's Cut and must be downloaded seperately.

Pah, I found out that objects in the common area like restaurant podiums (lot zoning cheat), microphones, and gym equipment (except the ballet bar for some reason) are all non-autonomous. Ugh, I went through all of that just to have nobody use it! I also wish that the NPCs could be activated for cash registers and expresso bars on apartment lots. I wanted a downstairs convenience store damnit!
Just to let you all know though the restaurant podium sim works, however you'll have to 'reset' the industrial stove that came with NL/OFB in order for the chef to appear.

Townies are autonomously using the grills on Downtown community lots. I sent a Sim to the Similar Sights Sculpture Park for half a day(after rotating the rude shiny decorative building next door so it didn't clip into the lot) and two different townies served platters of hot dogs. Of course none of them cleaned up empty plates. Maybe this is a new "feature"? The coffee cart there was being ignored, too. :o I haven't tested whether this happens in other neighborhoods. I supposed it could make the Three Lakes campground a stinkfest.
Also, a mild annoyance, at least one recolor of the new adult male caps doesn't default to a capless alternate hair when the Sim is in pajamas, underwear, or naked. It's sort of cute to see my test Sim wearing it during a bubble bath.
And I don't know whether this is from AL since I didn't try this after FT: if I attempt to make a custom BV secret vacation lot, after I rezone it and move it to the lots & houses bins, it never appears in the bin. The lots that are in the bin do a little dance where they reverse order within each EP group. The custom secret vacation lot DOES show up in the University bin, where it's listed as residential, but if I place it in the Uni 'hood it turns invisible. The rezoning code for custom Secret Society lots in Uni still seems to work like it did before, although I haven't attempted to have a student in the test neighborhood get abducted.
I'm running the game with all EP's and SP's except Kitchen & Bath Stuff, via No-CD, without CC or hacks (not like that's a bad thing, though.)

I noticed this too and I quite like it. I'm pretty sure they did before AL but it abruptly stopped, perhaps because of a mod or a patch, it left the feature somewhat borked ,meaning your sim would stop in the middle of grilling because another townie had queued the serve (and then dropped it on reaching the other grill).
Has anybody noticed their sims jumping lifetime wants?
I did a completely fresh install before installing AL and using only the AL:DC, Nina Caliente had a LTW to be a top chef, I specifically remember it because I set her on the career path and had her do a lot of cooking studying ect.. in preparation for the higher levels. After playing another lot and moving Dina out I returned to Ninas apartment to find her LTW had switched to Graduate 3 Children from college :-\
So far she is 1 of 3 I can 100% say I remember the aspiration of, except for Mortimer & Cassandra who both want to Reach Golden Anniversary, they did before I quit the game at least. Nina did end up with family as a secondary aspiration, and Dina did get the red engaged memory doodad (2nd asp is Pleasure), I hope this isn't a symptom of the FT aspiration bug.

Yeah, mee too. But I did find that Inge's automatic cash register works though.
The Perfume stand and dog collar display had the menu still disabled, but it worked to buy groceries, magazines and videogames.
Jewelery worked, but it didn't make any sound or show the amount being deducted.
My neighbors used the resturant podium autonomously but very rarely with the resturantbarfix hack from here.
EDIT: In my first apartment/restaurant building I had forgotten to put furniture in the neigbors apartments, and all they did was eat until they passed out. So perhaps you can experiment with not having kitchens in restaurant buildings except for in the active apartments. But do put in beds!
