A new issue (I think, since search turned nothing up on here)
Has anyone managed to successfully adopt whilst living in an apartment?
It said your new addition will arrive at 10am in the morning. Great. Gave me the choice of what age child to have, great, then, nothing happened? No car arrived. Zilch. Nada.
Seriously unlikely to be tight pants - I only have Pes's hacks. I do have the scriptorium if that would make a difference? I'm non-awesome, so I don't know if that would affect anything?
I had the Cho woman call to adopt. The toddler was deliverd the next day as scheduled.

Ok thanks, Fatkitty. Looks like the 50/50 dance with my custom content (again ::) )

Issues with 'upstairs' in apartments are driving me insane.
At one apartment lot the upstairs is counted as outside of the apartment, I can't change furniture or wallpapers.
In another lot the neighbors upstairs is completely visible even though someone lives there, and the neighbors downstairs is hidden.
They both are downloaded apartment lots, maybe I need to load them in build mode once to get them to work properly?
Do any of these lots use the stage foundations as a stairway landing between floors? I had issues similar to yours when I used these on the ground floor/entrance level of some townhouses with garages. Replacing the landings with a straight run of stairs or a spiral stair fixed it. AL must be treating the edge of a stage as a boundary when the zoning change is invoked, similar to the way it treats carpet strips and flowerbed edging in the "fence" category.
Ah, that explains it. Much appreciate your answer - I was going insane not knowing what the problem was. The apartments in question does indeed use stage foundations. Is there a way to fix it maybe? Maybe I need to make the lot residential then turn it into apartment again?

Faizah, That's interesting. It's worked in your case because you were able to save and move the stone between the deaths. For the Goodie couple, however, they both died immediately after returning home from work -- the instant they arrived on the sidewalk -- so there was no option to move the first stone. Actually, I'm wondering now if I'd gone into the neighbour's place after the first death (Herb), if they may have had the option to put the stone in inventory. ??? Whatever. I don't see why it would have been such a huge effort on the part of EA to simply designate one lot as a cemetary by default. ::)

Also, about the graves, the problem with moving it to a community lot is that the death type is reset, meaning they all supposedly "died" of starvation.
Alex, you know for sure this is true? Has it always been this way? ???
And as for the Riley/Cho borkedness, it makes no difference in resetting those apartments as different sublots if I try this either:

... 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.
Both apartments remain active simultaneously and fully visible no matter how many times I've saved after playing each family. :P :-\
[ETA] Added the post at the BBS http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/messages.php?threadID=b62e04e166f38b0788058a39091f4b88&directoryID=226&startRow=1&openItemID=item.226,root.1,item.43,item.104,item.41,item.127,item.23, in case any of you want to add your frustration to it. No, I'm not assuming that the 'maxoids' have cleaned the 7-y-old shit out of their ears. And Yes, I do need a shower now... ;D

Well, I've run into a big problem into community lots, apparently they now refuse to load meaning the loading screen freezes halfway thru.
Great, thanks a fucking lot eaxis, now I have to wave the fucking magic wand on every lot to fix it.
I have this problem too now. I tried taking out the last couple of AL updated hacks I put in right before developing the problem, but that didn't help. Did you ever figure out if it was a hack conflict or find the solution? What magic wand?
