Hecubus: I love that rowhouse!! I would like to know if you were able to change the zoning on that lot. I read somewhere that you can only have one door for each apartment. Or is that why you're trying to use a invisible fence?
Has anyone tried to make a building with a garage or garages? I'm working on it...but I think it can't be done. Oh, one can be made, but the garage is purely decoration. If you put cars, they disappear when you move a sim in and you can't put a car in the game after a sims moved in. (At least I can't.) I know EA has a lot with a garage for each apartment...but I haven't played it. (I don't like the houses that come with the game...I prefer to build since I always redo the pre-made ones.) I'm looking for an easy answer on this ;D but it looks like I might have to play the EA lot to see if the garages actually work and if they do, how they do.
As a general rule, read the entire thread before posting. This is getting long, so I'll humor you.
Hecubus wasn't using an invisible fence, but that is one method for getting around the dumb issue of the game not recognizing division on a lower level. She should have been able to change the zoning, as I used the same method a couple nights ago and it worked.
You can build with garages. There are two methods. One, and the least desirable to me, is to have the garages detached from the individual apartments (shared walls are fine, but entrance doors not so much). The areas become community access. You then have to have placed cars before move-in, or use cheats to place them afterwards. Blech.
The other method, again, is to utilize invisible fencing. Enclose the garage or carport with any combination of wall/half-wall/fence/invisible fence. Put an exit door from the apartment to the carport/garage. It's now usable. The only downside is that the cars fade in/out.

One more thing- elevators? I read that someone tried to put one in an apartment and it didn't work. I put one in a community area and it works fine. Anyone know why they don't work in an apartment? I've got so many ideas for apartments here and I'm willing to share if I can work out all the things I want to do.
The only thing I can think of is that they are registering as an exit to a common area, as if you were linking the apartments together. I haven't tried it.

SimWardrobe is reporting major borkedness with OFB functions. Like all customers have to be greeted when they enter the lot, and the 'show item to ...." is missing.
Geeze, can't EAidiots even check that they aren't conflicting with their own stuff? ::)

Are the Charlatans only suppose to appear on vacation lots? Don't they also appear on community lots downtown?
The Charlatan appears everywhere for your convenience. :) I've seen him on community and even on residential lots in any hood I've played.

I played a biz as I was trying to see if I could sell witch products. I didn't need to greet anyone. I didn't try "show item to..." though.
SJActress:
Is anyone else having Gardening issues on apartment lots? I'm playing the guy with the adopted daughter in Belladonna Cove. The landlord won't garden; there's not an option for it if I call her. The Gardener doesn't show up under services, so I can't hire him/her either.
I have the AL;DC with a few hacks removed.
The only weird thing I did was change the zoning (yes, while they were living there) to get rid of the spiral stairs and build elevators. I boolpropped back to "true" for both cheats right after.
Any ideas?
ETA: I seem to remember this problem mentioned already, but homework placed on a desk (any desk, I've tried quite a few) is inaccessible after it's placed. I have to go into Buy mode and move it to the floor.
