With that said I wanted to build an apartment and was out of room in the neighborhood so I went to move a lot to the lots bin. Upon clicking the move to bin button, it did remove the lot. Only one problem though, it removed it entirely from the game! It was not in the lots bin anywhere. I searched for a good 10 minutes going back and fourth mumbling "oh my god" and "how the hell do they miss that huge glaring bug?!" and then it all boiled down to "oh well".
Was the lot you moved an apartment lot? If it was, then it's in the "special" lot category like. It's the same one that (I assume) beach lots go into.

Aaaccck, this drove me crazy last week! I played these 2 families first and I thought this was the norm. So when I finally moved in another family in the same building, I was stunned to see those two families' apartments being dark. And I lost a lot of precious playing time testing and retesting this scenario until I came to the conclusion that Cho & Riley were special. So, yeah, they're borked. Although it's a nice bork -- I like seeing what the other inhabitants are up to.
Ok, so it's not my game -- thanks! I guess EAxis has it setup that way as a sort-of 'scenario' to force the issue of those two getting together. Makes sense, since his apartment looks more like it's setup for 4 people than her's is.
OTOH, it'll take a bit of finessing to get their relationship up, since neither can talk to the other on the phone. I wonder if the current setup also borks any move-in type interactions. May have to move one of them out and back in and see if that resets it.
I was playing the Riley and Cho yesterday. It's the first apartment house I've played. I was play Riley's apartment, and I could see what Cho was doing in her apartment. The problem I see with having it like that is that Cho was neglecting to care for her toddler. The toddler's needs were getting extremely red. Cho wanders all over the lot during the day socializing with everyone and leaving the toddler unattended. The toddler is never put to bed at night and crawls around even outside the apartment while her mother is sleeping. Cho doesn't go to work at all. When she finally came in for the evening, her toddler needed a bath desperately, but Cho gives herself a bath and then goes to bed leaving her toddler in dire need of a bath and a diaper changing. I tried to see if Rilely could take care of it, but he couldn't. The toddler was so bad off at one point that I used the maxmotives cheat to stop her from crying.

My Riley and Cho apartments were the same. I tried to play Cho and could see into Riley's apartment and see what he and his daughter were doing. Also, Cho's visitor would continually try to talk to people in Riley's apartment. So I exited out and tried playing Riley, and it was the same. So, I decided that was way too borked, and had Riley ask Cho to move in with him. She accepted but I could still see both apartments. So I moved them out as one family unit. Going to test out their apartments on new sims today. Hopefully it was just Eaxis trying to be clever with their whole single parent romance that messed it up.

Frack. Yes, that's the flamingo I was referring to. There's only one set of portals for the carstop and bus together.
Well then I have run out of ideas myself. Maybe a lot bin corruption?
like i say in some post away my test say all bin apartment are corrupt to fix that export all apartment of belladonna and import in you current neighood or use custom apartment. The bus will come for playables ( yes work 100 % in all apartments ) sometimes how i have 4 families in a apartment no playebles childrens dont go to school, maybe overseep or something no permit go but the important is you playabes will go.

As someone suggested to me, have whichever one you're playing visit the other for a bit. When the playable leaves, the apartment you're not playing returns to 'normal' and becomes invisible. Works fine after that, and solves this bork fairly easily.
