Apartment Life Borkiness, or how i ended the world in 1 hour.
Crash:
Interesting finds knukleur. Still, it doesn't explain why an apartment lot can work perfectly in the creators game, then magically bork when downloaded.
Could the placement of the lot have something to do with it? I don't claim knowledge in this area, but could the surrounding area when placing the lot effect the outcome? - As cardinal points seems to have something to do with it...

I ended up deleting the sleeping sim in front of the stairs, yet my sims still can't use the spiral stairs. They stomp with pics of stairs in their thought bubble. This is the DeBateau maxis family in a fancy apt building.
Are there any reports of the spiral stairs being borked? or did I break the game by deleting the sim? She lives in a neighboring apt.
The same thing just happened in one of my Sims' apartments, except the passed-out Sim was the landlord, and she passed out next to the side of the double bed that my Sim was using. He then couldn't get out of bed the next morning, until I moved the bed (with him in it) using moveobjects. Then I deleted the landlord -- big mistake. That part of the floor next to that side of the bed had something invisible there that I couldn't remove no matter what, not even with the sledgehammer.
In the end, I moved my Sim out. Word to the wise: if you befriend the landlord, and he/she asks, "Now that I'm done with work, would you like to hang out?" say NO. Somehow it made her go into literally three different needs failures, sitting in my Sim's apartment and crying until she passed out in the worst place possible....

This will probably bug only me, but the poor kids get the "Walk to School" option when it's a snow day. I'd hate to be that kid to tell you the truth, walking to school only to find it closed. Lulz.
I will have a follow up and tell you all what happened after I sent him to school. He currently needs to get his grades up anyhow, with a C+ he probably won't like having that for long.

You could have tried using the BatBox to see if there was something down there.

That would be the Stuck Object Remover. It burninates invisible stuck objects and destinations.

During the L&P phase, i remember a tidbit of information that was mentioned.

Yet this wasn't mentioned in either of the chats nor since release. It makes me wonder if they left code-remnants (GASP!) in the game relating to what type/quality of lots surround the apt lot?
Questions arising that need answers: (My gaming comp is on the fritz, so unable to play me sims right now).
Would leaving the custom lot as residential until after placement and then making it an apt building alleviate the dreaded borkness?
Do surrounding lots actually have an effect on the rent prices?
Could this be the reason why occupied apt lots can not be moved?
Would changing surrounding lots after setting up occupied apt lots, bork those apt lots?
