Hmmm... rather ambiguous. What's not working? The changeLotClassification cheat? Or, creating apartments? Or, the entire Apartment Life EP?
Assuming that you are talking about the lot class or the changeLotClassification cheat...
If you look at the work that I've done on MTS2, you'll see that there are actually two stored values for the Lot Class: the value and the override flag. If the override flag is set, then (I believe that) the changeLotClassification cheat won't do anything. You need to use the clearLotClassValue cheat to clear the override flag, then use the changeLotClassification cheat to set the new value. However, because the override flag is now clear, the game will try to recalculate the Lot Class Value at some point, so you can't expect the new value to stick around. Silly EA!
The only way that I know of to actually set the Lot Class permanently is to use SimPE to change the override flag to 1 and then set the value to what you want.
Or, let the game work the way that it's supposed to: clear the override flag and allow the game to calculate the lot class as you make modifications to the surrounding area.

Well yes, all of it really. ;D

Okay that's really interesting, thanks. I'll have to try that and see what happens.

It's possible that you could move an occupied apartment lot by using SimPE to modify the Top and Left fields in the Lot Description for every one of the clones. Of course, you should backup before trying this and be sure to change Top and Left to the same value for all copies of the lot.
Just wanted people to know that I verified that this will work; just change the Top and Left values in the Lot Description for the apartment base and all sublots. If you need to rotate the lot, change the Orientation field.

This makes me go "huh?" Do adults normally want toys? Forgot to add that his secondary aspiration is pleasure. Lemonade stands don't satisfy the want at all.

Also, what's with apartments resetting themselves? I usually save around 2AM (bad idea) and so I have to NOW save when everybody is up, which is hard because the parents work at night. Very borky.
