Apartment Life Borkiness, or how i ended the world in 1 hour.
Alex:
I'm going to have to make myself another override for the utterly fucked up text in the game.

Predictably enough, date/outing gifts and apartments don't play well together. Gifts are dropped off in the common area, and then can't be moved/sold from buy mode.
So now I have an expensive telescope that not only takes up a lot of space, but can't be used by anyone because it's placed right next to a pool. /whine
Considering my favorite gameplay involves surviving off of date rewards -- an escort agency, if you will -- this is a major Do. Not. WANT.

found a WONDERFUL bork, while moving a family into an apartment building i built.
I found out that, if you use those room divider fence thingies (the little itty bitty ones that sims can walk over, and come in black, white, wood, and metal) from within your apartment, the game considers that to not be apart of the apartment... so if your apartments are unfurnished on the side where the door isn't, your family is screwed and may have to sleep on the porch, that is of course if it's on the side where the apartment door is...

I have found a problem when making your own apartments... Wrote the cheat, saved, moved in my sim. Everything works as it should but the mailbox is the regular mailbox and not the apartment mailbox... >_<

Yes, it's incredibly frustrating to not even be able to move a door or a window, or plonk a hot pool down. I was pissed off that I made furnished apartments for my sims to move in to - just renovated some EAxis ones - yet when the sims moved in, only the kitchen and bathroom stuff was left. What's with that? People rent furnished apartments.
I also managed to bork the apartment controller somehow. I moved a hood in its entirety from the laptop to my big machine. Dark Trepie and his lot were fine, but witch kept throwing errors. The apartment door was lockable; but I kept getting a message that I should select an apartment. None were selectable. I deleted on the error message eventually and the errors stopped but the game didn't recognise the sims that lived there. I even exited and entered the lot again but no new controller must have been generated. I do have logs if anyone's interested. I had had nearly all the DC in before this happened. I moved witch and her lot out, then in again, that fixed it. (Re-decorating for the third time)!
Luckily I packaged the lot at the point of furnishing, as I now realise that one chess table outside, with no lights and no shelter, is a crappy communal area. This is the Crossroads lot, I wanted to make two apartments with three double bedrooms each so I could try out all the witches. Dark Trepie lives with the boys and Artemis Witch lives with the girls. Now I can't fit all their friggin' cauldrons in.
I'm probably going to build something custom now as this is too irritating.
BTW has anyone else noticed there's no pest control?
I'm also having the cell phone problem.
