Apartment Life: Obligatory Hate/Love Topic
Zazazu:
It's that time again, kids. Time to bitch about what we don't like, drool over what we do, and inadvertently find bugs that aren't super-obvious. I'll start, because I'm impatient.
Likes:
New outfits are a definite win.New objects so far seem good, at least as far as looks go. Good variety of cheap & expensive.The few new greetings I've tried have been cute and well animated.Apartment move-ins are smooth. Neighbors are easy friends.
Dislikes:
Everyone, I mean everyone, hangs out in the common area 24/7. Not only unrealistic, but I keep having to shoo playables away.More Maxis fug design. Some of the buildings in Belladona Cove aren't that bad externally, but the furnishings look like someone was on psychedelic drugs when they placed them."Hidden" lot is total fail. Took, what, 5 seconds to build. Oooh, a suspended octagon! How awesome!Toy dog is a glorified hamster, with animation errors, that takes up more room.
HomeschooledByTards:
I like that going into buy/build mode doesn't show you all of the stuff in your neighbors apartments. I usually can't stop myself from cheating in dorms by selling off the dormies furniture (they don't need a bed, they just stand there by the door).
I don't think I'm going to like having the "everything's ok" popup from the landlord every day, I assume he/she is coming over to fix broken equipment in the apartment and my stuff doesn't break often.
Jelenedra:
I like the new outfits as well. I don't even play Elders and I am so very happy that all the new Adult stuff if available for Elders as well. While it is lazy, I appreciated a lot of the FT adult outfits getting conversions for Elders too.
The hair, the only one I really liked is the Betty Paige hair. More ponytails, yay. Even one is the same lazy Teen Stuff hair converted to female.
I haven't had a chance to check out build mode stuff yet. I am hoping that the microphone plays nice with the UNI instruments so we can has actually have bands now.
msalwaysright:
Build mode has some really nice windows and doors, and although I'm too lazy to utilize them, an abundance of grates and ductwork for MOAR building realism.
Spiral stairs are kewl.
And, you can woohoo in the new closets, which I think is hilarious,
and will enable me to make mralways a funny video reeactment
of the time that I got really tipsy on martinis and we destroyed a hotel closet.
Zazazu:
Spiral stairs also don't seem to be horrible traffic-jam creators that I had predicted them to be. They are overused in Belladona Cove, but I'll definitely be peppering them into my real 'hoods.
I haven't gotten to look at Build mode much (I only had about an hour to play last night) but ditto on the ductwork. Will go great in lower-income housing I have planned. I need a bunch of trailers and slums for Horseshoe Court in Coggeshall Village, right outside of the wealthy section.
I'm disappointed that they didn't add public toilet woohoo. It would be a relatively similar animation to the closet woohoo or changing booth woohoo.
